Beleth doesn't have time to register what's happening, pushed to safety by Taas and watching in shock as the fist materializes out of some creepy ass black hole and just punches Taas???

No one is going to believe her when she tells them about this.

But Bull has the sense of things, and he's making a dash for the blood mage. "It's always blood mages. Why aren't there villainous spirit healers..." Beleth murmurs to herself, grabbing a vial from her belt and tipping an arrow in it quickly, before firing it off at the blood mage. How easy would it be to do blood magic when that blood was poisoned?

...Hopefully, worse. Beleth was really hoping it was worse.
