Cassandra watched in amazement as her comrades laid into the giant golem, unleashing gouts of flame to liquify the mass of ice. Unfortunately their attempts at melting the golem were in vain. As soon as a piece was damaged, the golem regenerated itself. [i]”If fire can’t take this thing down,”[/i] Cassandra thought in distress, [i]”then what can?”[/i] 

She pondered this for several minutes while her teammates launched into battle, Jaklo using his mystical arsenal, Drake assuming the form of a dragon (Cassandra could appreciate the correlation between his powers and his name), and Mithias vanishing into thin air. Wanting to be of use, she ran her hand over the rim of her cauldron, the spark within growing ten-fold, flames leaping from the Pit’s mouth, coagulating into a large sphere just above. With a wave of her hand, Cassandra cast the swirl of flames spiraling into the golem’s outstretched arm. The heat licked at the hardened ice, peeling off layers and turning them to slush, but just as before, the golem simply regenerated its arm from snow and ice. 

Then it hit her! Perhaps the golem would continue to regenerate so long as there was a raging blizzard surrounding them. [i]”Maybe if there’s no snow, it can’t keep growing limbs back.”[/i] With that in mind, Cassandra again waved her hands above the Pit. The cauldron's internal flame was extinguished as it began to fill with water. The inside of the Pit was a swirling torrent, a clashing of waves. Cassandra removed a large tangle of knots from her person, a charm to hold the winds. When untangled, it would release a powerful gust of wind, but when cast into the Pit, it would allow greater control over the element. She cast the charm into the water, which sizzled and sparked as the knots splashed in. The water turned quickly into black pitch, then formed into a thick, black smoke. 

With a wave of her wand, the smoke ascended from the Pit, a black pillar of condensed air. It swirled violently as it was cast into the sky, a powerful elemental force that could hopefully combat or part the current onslaught of wind and snow.
