At first, the spell seemed to function as Li expected it would. Magical energy sourced from within Li's being scattered into the barren dirt, pulsing outwards from the center of the empty land in countless faint and glowing green shockwaves that traveled just under the dirt.
The waves faded, and as their ethereal light waned, grass began to grow again. It grew rapidly now that Li's extraordinary magical energy had infused the dirt with life bearing nutrients. The patch of dead land was no small little area, either, considering the magnitude of power involved in Tia's demonfire attack.
A fairly small crowd could have easily fit within the neat ring that Tia's blast had carved into the dirt, but Li's magical energy was more than enough to support grass growth throughout every inch of it. The grass broke through the dirt as little shoots at first before rapidly maturing into full blades.
It was after this, though, that things became rather irregular.
