Sinterous
You mutter, rubbing your focus as you attempt to rip spikes of ice off with Levitation and hurl them at your foe. [3] v. [4] A few chunks of ice tumble lazily through the air, and the wisp moves slightly to avoid them.

____
You snarl at the orb as you engulf the base of a tree with your power, attempting to rip it free and bludgeon your foe. [5] v. [3] The tree crashes into the middle of the road, passing straight through the center of the glow. Swirls of light coalesce, reforming the orb, but it appears to be somewhat dimmer than before. Some of the patches of ice begin to melt.

((I'll allow it, but they will be markedly less effective without the skill.))
____
Talendir
You try to determine what the source of the magic is [4] and quickly conclude that the glowing magical ball of light is probably it. You look around to see if any of your teammates need help...
____
Hedric
Your natural instincts surface as you shake off the voices in your head, examining the wisp from afar to determine if it has anything of value. [1] You stare at the orb, thinking about how shiny it is, and fail to notice the tree slamming into it. A few acorns hit you on the head.
____
Mina
Charging at the wisp, you raise your sword and slash at it. [1] v. [3] Unfortunately, your sword passes straight through without any apparent effect, and you run straight into a tree which has just been violently transplanted into the middle of the road. A small spike of ice passes through the place where you were several seconds ago, missing you entirely. Your sword is stuck in the tree, and you try to shake the dizziness out of your head.

Aero
As you fly into the air shouting out "THUNDA!", you momentarily think of a red-haired catman holding a sword. Shrugging, you try to summon a bolt of lightning down onto the orb of light [6] v. [3] and succeed spectacularly! A massive, jagged streak of lightning cuts through the foliage and strikes the orb directly, releasing a brilliant flash of light. As it fades, a blue-white feather slowly drifts to the ground from where the wisp had been a moment ago.
A moment later, you smell smoke.

____
You all notice flames rising from the branches overhead, centered around the hole the lightning drilled through the canopy. The tree in the center of the road had also caught fire. A pale blue-white feather sits beneath the uprooted tree, casting a faint light on the road.
Talendir notices a chance to help, and moves to help Mina pry her sword out of the burning tree. It is deeply embedded [2 + 1] + [5] but the two of you working together manage to pull it free easily.
The forest is not as dry as it would have been in the autumn, but there is still enough dead wood and tinder for it to spread at a walking pace.
