He'd kind of expected Loren to run with his advantage. Jigano was usually more comfortable staying back and being support, and Loren had a habit of running ahead, but this was a game that relied on teamwork and Loren was supporting him. He flashed his teammate a grin as he took the ball, quietly delighted that his fellow mage trusted him to take the first attack.
Maybe there was some clever way to use his earth magic to assist his throw or hamper his opponents, but in the spirit of the game he made his first throw simple and clean, with only the strength of his arm and aim of his human eye as he launched the ball low at the ankles of the struggling Deimos, hoping that the General would have trouble catching the ball in his half-shifted state, or at least that he would have to dodge rather than being able to catch it before it hit the ground.
On second thought, maybe Loren had handed him the ball to avoid having the other team catch it and take the Launceleyn out first...
Jigano throws the ball as hard as he can at the half-shifted Deimos's ankles!
