Interesting... I hear a lot about magic. I thought it would be far rarer... and if you don't have your shield try to push the offensive. You aren't as well protected and your defense would take timing you haven't learned yet.

[And to illustrate the point Sam is going to rush forward and let loose a at blinding speeds - several rapid slashes from a multitude of arcs were launched at Richard. If this were his sword - there's no doubt the frenchman would be in ribbons.]

[But how well does Richard fare from defending himself from this attack?]
