(i was caught unaware..) eventually he regains some poise and joins the battle.. his hands weave quickly and the air around him crackles shimmers with a soft blue white momintarily (mage armour), he immediately shifts his hands to a new form and proceeds to form a magic missile between his cupped hands which he launches at the nearest lizard, he scans around quickly for someone to hide behind so he can continue assault the enemy with his spells..
