When her staff was broken by angry villagers, she did not seek out another until she found this one, taking up the sword instead so that she might travel more discretely, and so it has been some two years since she has regularly used all the spells she had learned. The unfortunate truth of it is that Herian has neglected some of her magics to better herself as a Knight-Enchanter. Hours each day spent working with a sword, training drills, focusing on how to better her mastery of her Spirit blade and her barriers.

There is not time to cast haste on Bellamy and attempt to intercept the mage. He is strong and able, and the mage will do more damage to them. One archer is missing, and though she is not fool enough to dismiss how very able they are, the mage remains more pressing. She casts disruption field, slowing the rogue Bellamy is struggling with and the enemy mage, before she advances at a run to throw herself at the mage, blade cutting a wide arch that she hopes will render him too injured to cast—

But the mage can still cast even if he is slowed, and the magic of the Dalish is strong as it is foul. Nature's vengeance draws enormous roots up through the earth, striking at any who might be in reach, capable tangling or impaling or knocking them back. Herian, for her part, is caught and tangled in vines even as she reaches the mage, her strike attack still vicious but weakened for her need to fight with nature.
