A scene
The Atlantean fleet wizard has evoked a water elemental to drown the necromancer Khalid on the shore at Taenerus, and it is rising out of the surf like a green wall. Khalid sends a whirlwind of black vapor spinning across the sand toward it, as fast as a man can run. The elemental falters inside the storm, then bursts apart and vanishes, hurled back to its own plane. The wizard, caught on its edge, reels away with his eyes streaming and blinded, bleeding from a hundred stinging cuts of flying grit.
