Earth Spikes is a Tier One Earth Magic spell.
Its strength increases as the mage's rank goes up.
However, no matter how powerful the mage, the spell itself won't ever get too strong—its foundation is weak.
Only one exception exists.
When it's focused through an array.
Earth Spikes conjured by an array aren't technically the [Earth Spikes] spell, but part of the array itself; earth spikes are just the form they take.
As a Tier Four Mage, Suna was full of combat experience. The instant she sensed the rising spikes were different, she soared into the sky without hesitation.
A massive earth spike shot up from the ground, nearly skewering her mid-flight.
"Lightning!" Hilia called softly again.
Dense clouds formed rapidly overhead, and a bolt of lightning crashed down from within.
Lightning moves faster than earth spikes. Suna, still airborne, couldn't dodge in time and was struck directly.
Her mage robes glowed with a deep, eerie light, shielding her from the lightning blow.
