He waved his free hand and tapped his staff again. A green lightning bolt shot from the sky, narrowly hitting a dragon. I lifted my sword up into the air as I expected the lightning to come at me, but instead it went towards the spell he was weaving in the air. The stream of lightning hit the water that gathered in front of him, vaporizing into steam and creating a ball of smoky green lightning. Then black smoke gathered around his hands and he muttered under his breath before the ball of lightning turned dark and slammed against the ground. Waves of deathly black lightning spread from the impact zone.
