It took her only a moment to realize what that meant. She climbed off Skitter, moved to run. The darkness was oppressive, sluggish in moving through her, unlike ordinary air. She was slower, wasn’t taking in enough oxygen.
So that’s why his power messes with hers. It displaces the air, makes it hard for her to breathe in shadow form.
Against her will, her power instinctively adjusted, shifted her into a middle ground between her regular self and her shadow state. It left her slower, heavier.
Oh jeez.
…that might explain why she had some trouble getting out of the containment foam at the gallery, besides the properties of the foam itself. Her body hadn’t adjusted back yet.
She baited me.
She sure did!
A massive shape tore through her, dissipated her entire body.
And there’s Angelina, too! Unless Rachel’s been training more of her doggos…
She pulled back together, but it was hard, painful and uncomfortable on an unspecific, fundamental level. It left her breathing hard, feeling like she’d just put her body through five hours of the hardest exercise of her life. Enervating, was that the right word?
I think Enervation, or something like that, is a spell in Hearthstone that gives you extra energy, but I don’t know what it actually means.
*looks it up* Drained of energy. Hm, you’d think that spell would drain energy from the opponent, then… *looks up the spell* Ah, it was Innervate, not Enervation.
Bugs were gathering inside and around her body, making it a little harder and a little more time-consuming to pull together.
I wonder if that has something to do with the Manton effect, à la how Vista’s power is hindered by the presence of people in the area she’s manipulating.
