A scene
The necromancer rose from his table at the back of The Black Skull and pointed a bony finger at the wizard Ramses, spitting a curse of withering. It struck the air around Ramses, rang like a struck bell, and rebounded. The necromancer shrieked as his own curse took him, his hand shriveling to a claw. Snarling, he pulled a black wand from his sleeve and flung a bolt of fire. This time the aura did nothing at all; spells from wands are not turned. Ramses dived behind the bar, smoking, and swore.
