and the only solution was to stand and fight
Any of his objections were going to be met with the same sort of reasoning that got multitudes killed, but he knew better. Instead, he rolled his eyes, and would take great care to ensure none of his assaults actually hit. He could test her speed and agility without immediate death by fire, and weigh his own precision in avoidance.
She ran and the first launch did exactly as he’d compelled and commanded, missing, and sailing into the sand with a diminished semblance of embers and nothing more. Maintaining his position as she darted around, he waited for something, as she’d promised the display of new incantations, so when the tangleweed was suddenly back into its sharp fruition, he thought perhaps she’d orchestrated a means of reconstruction, recreation. He’d been immersed in illusion enchantments before, especially in caves evading Neron, but one could never be certain until they mustered further actions.
Calculating, he quirked a small smile in her direction before snagging at his magic again; this time amplifying it into two fireballs. One he sent intentionally towards the skittering brush of bone and shell, and the other, closer to the top of her head – but far too high to do any matter of damage; just enough to make her dodge, move, and sway.
2/4
Uses fire magic to send one fireball towards the illusion!tangleweed and one well over the top of Flora's head.
