A magic missile flew over my head towards a target guarded by a honey-combed shield further out in the blasting range. The resulting blast shook my eardrums and forced me to look away from the blinding light. As I looked back, the target was unscathed, but a large smoldering crater encompassed it. Even as I turned back to my work, I could see the ground reforming for a second trial.
Today, the students from the destruction school were working with the shield students to both perfect their arts.
I was working with a reptilian kid in his second semester, helping him more with target practice than actual destructive force as he used a much more toned down magic missile to target scarecrows as I shielded them.
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
