Talon

‘But you bested Lizzie. How did you manage that when she’s so strong?’

‘It was something that my aunt Agnes once taught me. It’s a spell some witches call "talon". You bite off a small piece of the nail of your forefinger and spit it at your enemy. Then you scratch her face and stun her. Took Lizzie by surprise, it did. She didn’t know I could do that. Only gave us a few moments though. I’ll never be able to repeat that spell. She’ll be ready for me next time.’
