The Problem With Light Magic

Simyon and Safa faced a challenge with the mysterious stranger in front of them. He wasn't well known in the Dark Faction, and even though they had been part of the academy, they had never seen this person before.

Yet during their fight, it didn't take them long to figure out that Qi wasn't the answer. Using Qi in their attacks, both Safa and Simyon felt as if it was being absorbed when it touched the man's body.

There was no impact, and the general feeling of the energy that came out when they attacked disappeared as if it was absorbed inside his body, nowhere to be seen.

Safa quickly figured this out, so when she got the chance, instead of encasing her spear in Qi, she covered the tip in her Light Magic. It shortened the tip, making it look like a technique produced by someone from the Light Faction.

She swung it down and ripped through the bald man's skin on his back, creating a large cut that drew blood but wasn't too deep.
