Cunning Escape

"As you wish?"

Elenora took a few steps forward and pointed her wand toward the two-story house. Her movement sparked a reaction in her group at the door.

"Idiots, war is forbidden inside the town!"

The speaker was a member of the Black Wrist party. He was smirking and making fun of our wizard.

"Elenora, freeze the windows and doors. Let's see how they get out without damaging their own house!"

Warfare was forbidden in the town, but there was no rule about using abilities. The new member of our party would close all their outlets.

"You can use potions if necessary; seal them inside!"

There was no response. At my command, the wand's tip flashed one after the other. Not much; within half a minute, all the house's exits were covered with thick layers of ice.

Our magician did not encounter any problems due to his action. As I guessed, war was forbidden, but skill use was allowed.

"Run, break that ice!"
