"You know, this really is the worst."
Can Etszu at least Warp close the huge gaping hole in his chest?
"You know, this really is the worst."
""Yep. Can't say I envy you."
Try again to summon handcuffs onto the treant.
For the next spell, either heal Etszu using a +1/+1 essence or craft a summoning essence, depending on how Etszu's healing spell goes.

POT [6+1+1-1=7]END [3]Treant seemed almost cruel in his puncches, intentionaly pulling punches to prolong fleshwarpers suffering. They inflicted no real damage, but it mattered little to bleeding mage. His own atempts to heal himself fell short - wound twiched and twisted healing on one end and opening in the other. James first spell meant to prevent treant from cotinuing the torture fuzzed out entirely as instead of shacles aether threw out a cloud of mist. Not taking the hint, he atempted to heal Etszu. The spell fumbled away specctacularly this time, cancerous growths exploding around the wound, tearing up skin and muscle.

Call out the naga and try to convince her to join my side again. Tell her that the guy on the ground was the one who lit the ship on fire in an attempt to kill us both.

END [1]It could had been another mermaid. It could be that he was somehow infinitely hatable among their kin. Maybe it was the face. maybe it was the nasty spells he used. No mater the reason, steel trident flew fast and true, hiting mage right in the stomach and puncturing guts in three criplingly painfull wounds.

((I thought about getting shards from a daemon-horse, but okay.))
Kahel paused and questioned himself. Was it right just to rush ahead, not really looking around to er... Find something? Preferably not as murderous intended as the horse was... The mage shook his head. It would probably do him no good. So, moving forward it is.
Time to reach the newly-formed plains. And to test my luck searching for something interesting there. If nothing occurs - prepare some more, crafting two essences.

POT [4]There was hardly anything of interesst in the newly formed lands aside from the way they formed. Same gravel, same sand, same dirt, same grass. Kahel did not need much time to become bored and venture almost to to the edge of the island.
"The portal is underneath us, buried in the snow. We'll have to dig it out."
Two aether essences.
"Alright. Maybe something non-magical first."
Create one essence then try to remove as much snow by flapping my force wings.

POT [4+2=6]END [4]Ishin was first to strike once more, but in his hury he fumbled a few lines and spell meant to finish off his oponent whifed out. Romanticarnus responded with arcane bindings that constricted Ishin, burning red marks in his flesh, yet aspect mage endured, bindings disipating before they managed to do more damage than few crushed capillaries.
END [5]On the lakeshore, Endlessblaze woke up with a head hurting as if he had drank a whole tavern yesterday.
