Energy manipulation of this level is beyond me, it's awesome to read, but to write it is beyond my area of expertise. I'm glad I'm subscribed to this thread.
It's definitely an interesting conflict, Skallagrim has finesse and Fury has more primal powers, in theory the Dreamer should have Fury beat, but this is one fight Fury refuses to lose. (And consequentially you get to see him at his best, using whatever tricks he has to in order to make up for the skill gap in regards to his energy manipulation abilities.)
Also I'm glad you're enjoying it. One feature I miss from the Old Guild was the 'amount viewed' counter next to threads, I always liked it when my fights reached pretty high numbers, it felt like I was actually creating something people were interested in seeing. Kind of why I do Arena fighting really.
