@Lunarlors34Well, I'd say that it would take about two post or so just because of how thick the stuff is as it hangs in the air, even with the updraft from the flames(it was 6 feet of material that just got evaporated) . . . which reminds me,
@ZarkunDoes James have anyway to protect himself from the necrotic energy in the dust, cause as it stands he probably inhaled a lot of it on his fall and what not, and while he could probably heal it, it would still do some pretty nasty initial damage. The area immediately around the pillar would be clearer then the rest, but still, pretty dangerous spot to be in.
