THE BACKLASH

Iris watched how Abby tried her hardest to absorb the strong black magic from Ethan. The light that she produced was cluttered to many directions when it supposed to focus on one point. 

"She couldn't hold it. She will get a backlash from it," Lou said. 

Iris didn't realize it when exactly Lou stood by her side, she only noticed him when he spoke to her, while staring at what Abby was doing. 

"What do you mean?" Iris looked at him, worried in her expression. She wished everything would go well with Ethan, but seeing Abby's struggle, she was afraid for both of them. 

"I am not sure if it happened to a Serafim, since divine power was pretty different from normal magic. But, for a magic user, when your power was cluttered like that, it would cause the power to disintegrated. Needless to say, that was not a good sign for a magic user, since the strength of the power will hit you as hard as the power you unleashed."
