Wizard versus Witch-hunter

Dreamed 2023/4/16 by Wayan

I'm a wizard dueling a witch-hunter at a party. Dream sketch by Wayan. Click to enlarge.


Now that we have a truce, parties can happen again. I'm at my first one in years. Not huge--a crowded hall, but just 5 meters wide, 10 long.

Enemy agents burst in, holding little boxes. A line of light jabs at me, poking like a spear--feel its pressure. It rises from the leader's fist-size weapon, makes a right angle and lances down through the crowd, knocking others aside. Not a laser, then--not with elbows and muscles! Force, not light.

My attacker yells "He's a wizard!" then at me "You're under arrest!"

I snap back "You've violated the Truce. You're under arrest yourself!"

Whip out my wand and fire--not at him, at his weapon. Hold my energy beam steadily on the box. Magical resistance heats my wand, but it's bearable.

I can hold this output a long time, for it's my own spirit driving my beam; the wand just focuses and directs it. But his nasty little box runs on rechargeable batteries, and in a sustained duel, they'll quickly overheat. May catch fire, even explode.

He knows it, too; stands his ground half a minute, hoping I'll lose concentration, or nerve. But his weapon starts buzzing like a mad wasp. Smoke curls out. He curses and backs away, sweeps out of the room. His minions scuttle after him, afraid to face me without their master.

Another win for wizardry.
