You're a wizard, and you've reached the end of your quest for ultimate power. Unlimited Magic flows through you. No longer are you tethered to the earth by drawing energy from the land. But you've taken a great toll and your body is at the edge of its limit.
You approach the final object of your quest: the artifact that will strengthen you against your own power and complete your ascendancy. But no! At the last moment, in the same shape, your nemesis appears opposite the artifact. You have only one choice: summon all the power you can and shoot first.
