"Take this!" Amelia, her magical prowess ever-evolving, retaliated with elemental force. Fiery tendrils erupted from her outstretched palms, intertwining with vines of earth that surged from the ground. The fusion of fire and earth entwined in a mesmerizing dance, forming a formidable barrier to ward off Raegis' onslaught.

But the beastkin was undeterred. She skillfully evaded the magical onslaught, her lithe form twisting and turning with acrobatic finesse. With a burst of speed, she closed the gap, her sword poised to strike. Amelia's eyes widened with a mix of determination and awe, her mind racing to conjure a suitable defense.

Gathering her elemental energies, she formed a sphere of pure darkness, imbued with the shadows of the forest.
