116 Phalanx

An hour into their uneventful watch, the Witches all came out with determined looks, then did a double take as they noticed the black magical armour active over the uniforms of the patrol.

 

"Did we take an attack?" Priya asked.

 

"No, Lieutenant. Mister Wolfe didn't know how to activate the spells on our gear, so he was practicing." The patrol leader answered.

 

"With every spell on your armour?" Priya asked.

 

"Isn't that how it works? You get attacked, and you turn on the defensive spells?" Wolfe asked.

 

"And how long does it take you to channel enough mana to activate all those wards?" Priya asked curiously.

 

"I'm not a Witch. I don't need to channel it. I have it stored. I could do the defensive and offensive spells for the entire force at the same time, but then I would be right empty and unable to maintain a barrier during the initial stages of the attack." Wolfe explained.
