"Thanks for the tip, but sometimes we do things the hard way, just to see if we can." Lucian stood up, as he was sitting down while doing the last ritual, which seemed to be a good thing, as he wasn't really here when he performed it. He felt the elemental plain, such a wonderful place. He smiled and walked over to Ren, "Thanks for coming, I'm going to test to see If I can pull some support moves out. If we fight someone who magic is useless against, I might as well be of some use." He held his hand out towards Ren, mostly for dramatic effect, as he doubted he needed to. "Mana Link." 

Lucian would try a few things to see how well this worked. Firstly, he would see if he was able to force Ren to move through the connection, then he would try to give him some of his own mana, and lastly trying to use the connection to activate Mana whirlwind shield on Ren.
