"Maybe I'll just go with a strengthened bubble spell then," she mumbled back. She'd only been half serious in the first place.

She was still focused on Peter, though, giving him a look that said she hadn't yet gotten enough of an answer. "I can see how that would take some work, but I'm still trying to picture how it would be useful. Why bounce a Fire off of a magic shield when you could just shoot the Fire directly at what you want to hit? I can see how it might work as a surprise tactic, shooting a spell past an opponent so that it bounces and hits them in the back, but that would be such a spur-of-the-moment tactic that even with the skill to do it, would you even think of it in time to use?"

She wasn't criticizing him. This was Song's game. She was testing him.
