- The Wardens used the zipping little fireballs from the Roman candles and
- my own improvised funeral pyre to target their own spells, and then the real
- fireworks started.
- Each individual wizard has his own particular quirks when it comes to how
- he uses his power.
- There is no industrial standard for how fire is evoked into use in battle. One
- of the Wardens coming up behind me sent forth a stream of tiny stars that
- slewed through the night like machine-gun fire, effortlessly burning holes
- through trees, rocks, and grey men with equal disdain. Another sent a
- stream of fire up in a high arc, and it crashed down among several grey
- men, splashing and clinging to any moving thing it struck like napalm.
- Lances of scarlet and blue and green fire burned through the air, reminding
- me for a mad moment of a scene from a Star Wars movie. Steam hissed and
- snarled everywhere, as a swath of woodland forty yards across and half as
- deep vanished into light and fury.
- Hell’s bells. I mean, I’d seen Wardens at work before, but it had all been
- fairly precise, controlled work. This was pure destruction, wholesale,
- industrial-strength, and the heat of it was so intense that it sucked the air out
- of my lungs.
