When he threw the ball her way, Ray released the fire with a flare, sidestepping and thrusting her arms out toward it. She was aiming to do something she hadn't quite done before: extract the extant lightning and, using the momentum Josiah had given it, throw it back at him. She didn't know if it would work - hell, she hardly expected it to. But lightning was her specialty; she knew how it worked, how it moved, what it took to control it.
Maybe she'd never tried it before, but it couldn't be that hard, she reasoned. It wasn't like you were summoning the magic yourself, after all, just wrestling for - and stealing, if all went according to plan - control of it. But without any practice, something so simple in theory could be beyond reach.
