Well, I felt a presence, and then something pushed passed my shield. It...probably wasn't spiritual though. My shield should have blocked that. Arcane power, maybe? I wasn't warding against that at all. [And it's about the only thing she can think of that would be able to manage that.]

And yes. Actually, one of my friends uses lightning the way I do fire. That much electrical energy would generate enough heat to melt metal. But that didn't happen, did it?
