A scene

The archers on the harbor watchtower at Ampator have the smugglers' boat in plain sight, and the first arrows are already slapping into the water. The sorcerer Nysa, crouched in the stern, flings out one hand toward the top of the tower. A sphere of perfect blackness blooms there, swallowing the archers, their bows and the lantern hanging above them. Arrows keep coming for a moment, wild and blind, whistling off into the sea. Then there is only shouting. The rowers put their backs into it, and the boat slides away into the night.
