Facing the undead (3)

'Well, seems this is manageable,' Eldrian mumbled while dancing to avoid the ghouls' attacks and controlling the reanimates' positions via a combination of water jets and shock waves—and some ether punches. Doing damage to them was hard, but simply keeping them occupied with a few spells was simple, though draining. 

This was the first time Eldrian needed to push himself since reaching Tier 5. His spars with Vivian had been fun, but the sheer difference in stats had been too large. And while the same applied against a single ghoul or flaming reanimate, there were a total of seven undead attacking him. The split focus to control the reanimates while managing the ghouls certainly helped Eldrian grasp his true abilities far better than any sparring match ever could.
