"'Lesser Fireball,'" Leonard murmured, gripping his staff tightly. A blazing fireball, as large as a washbasin, materialized at the staff's tip, its searing flames casting flickering shadows in the dark. The fireball floated ominously in the air, radiating an intense heat that made Leonard squint, even from half a meter away.
With a subtle motion of his staff, the fireball arced through the air like a comet, streaking toward the distant sea. The instant it struck the water's surface, it erupted in a small but fiery explosion. Sparks scattered, reflecting a red glow on the dark waves before fizzling out like a fleeting firework. The sight was dazzling, but against the vastness of the ocean, the fireball's impact felt like a mere ripple.
