Feather-plucking bastard!
Jassiel's cheap shot at the start of the match was infuriating. So was the fact he was using interchange collars on his Elevated.
Ugh... I completely forgot to warn them. But Ozzy and Rain can take care of themselves.
The pair of interchange collars basically let Jassiel control the mana of his Elevated, which meant he could feed them his own mana or draw on theirs as needed.
Such a thing required a high degree of similarity in mana, to begin with. Cassie wouldn't have put it past Jassiel to modify his own squad's mana aspects, just so he could use them like batteries. The odds of three people coming together with instantly compatible mana were vanishingly small.
Just like the odds of Jassiel letting her get a spell in edge-wise.
