Stopping for a moment as she clutched her staff, she closed her eyes for a moment, whispering incantations to herself before calling upon the desired magecraft: "Sphere of Life Protection."
Around her body, a spherical barrier made out of translucent, cyan light was created, guarding her as she now felt confident to continue traversing the rocky bridge.
In order to maintain the platforms that were suspended on nothing but her own mana, she had to concentrate despite the boiling geysers appearing closer-and-closer.
Reaching the last platform, she took a slow step over before–
"Ghh!"
A burst of steaming water launched up, brushing directly against the barrier that protected her, causing her to stumble somewhat as she leaned over the platform, nearly falling from the side of it. Even with the shield she had around herself, plunging into the depths of the boiling lake wouldn't be something she dared to do.
