Bab 653: Chapter 652: Running Some Tests

I hung the Khopesh back on my hip as I stared at the oncoming cluster of Cultists, deciding to take an entirely magical approach to this confrontation to get a better grasp on how much of an improvement my Ice Magic got from becoming a <Frost Witch>, which should be visible and calculable from this test... hopefully.

To start, I traced out the runes for a long time favorite and one of my old reliable spells, summoning a long crystalline lance that whistled through the air as I flung it forwards, straight into the chest of the Cultist at the forefront of the group.

The ice tore through their chest and slid cleanly through, the smooth construction of the lance allowing it to penetrate straight past the first and into the second, reaching deeper into the group and allowing me to inflict even more damage as the lance exploded, a cloud of sharp slivers of ice slicing through the nearby Cultists and spreading {Frost of Despoina} over them all.
