Sah

Only in the dark

Sah nodded, seeing the wisdom in the other Abandoned's words. The war had put a timer on getting stronger, a pressure to be ready. It was a bit reassuring to hear that the way magic worked in Caio, there was always room for improvement. It made Sah's inner ambition and love of challenges ignite. More to learn, more to master, more to experience. It was exhilarating.

Seeing the lightning approaching, Sah's magic reacts instinctively. Unfortunately his instincts pertained to far stronger magic, which he now lacked. But even so, with the slow approach he was able to mildly direct her lighting away. It wasn't super effective, the result more of a change of angle to prevent it from hitting him instead of full redirection, but it did the trick. The effort though, regardless of how instinctual the first reaction had been, wasn't to scoff at. A small beat of sweat appeared on his face.

Letting out a frustrate sigh, Sah addressed Hotaru. "It's more that I can mildly manipulate it. I can somewhat redirect yours but I doubt I'd be able to redirect an actual lightning strike." The frustration was clear on his face.
