Despite her attempt to reach him there isn't a moment of hesitation when it shifts, lunging for an attack on the nearby mage. She jumps back from the initial attack, breathing in as lightning burns in the air and the magic that follows lights up the room.

There is little time to acknowledge the spells cast over her, she sprints forward and takes aim at its back as it is exposed in the lunge. She takes no pride in this or enjoyment that she had been right.

Ciri wants this done now and aims for his heart.
