//Can we buff ourselves against magic damage? Do we know anything about the type/effect of the magic that she is casting? I play a lot of pokemon, do we have any kind of Light screen/Reflect type spells?
>Cast [Insert Defensive Self Buff Here]
//Edit: Did we create the wards on our mirror? If so, is there any way we could enchant something to reflect a large attack one time even if it fails afterwards? Say, something capable of reflecting whatever Elis is brewing up here? I know we probably dont have the time to set it up at this point for this particular attack, but if we could dodge or tank this one and then set it up for the next one that would be great.
// You can, but doing so would be largely pointless, since you'd be
using magic to prevent... losing your magic. After all; your HP is essentially your MP as a phantom without a physical form.
// You made the wards on your mirror; over a long period of careful enchantment. Rechargeing them is a simple matter, but making a new one altogether is different.
// OOC Info: Elis' MP bar is also ticking down like ours with her spell casts right? She doesn't get to repeatedly cast for free does she?
> If any of this is outright impossible due to the room layout being unfavorable or our mirrors being too small to be convincing don't attempt this
> Quickly create a bright flash or spark to temporarily blind or obscure Elis' darkness accustomed vision. Besides she's more focused on the spell she's about to cast than tracking us
> While she's blinded summon our largest basic mirror in front of us and dash to the side, preferably behind some of the remains/outcroppings of the half destroyed wall between us and Elis
> Immediately after dashing angle the mirror so we can see Elis through it (which means she can see us through it). Or better yet if we can make our mirror magically show our image do that instead
> Make our eyes glow so she can see "us" clearly in our old location (through the mirror) with her impaired (but recovering) vision
> Have our magic mirror float in front and to the side of the substitute mirror and shoot aimed shots at her to both distract her and make it look more convincing that we're still there
> Let her fire at the disposable mirror we substituted for ourselves and waste her charge shot

// Elis does have limits. However, as a Vampire, these are very high. Vampires are kind of
broken. Immense physical and magical power; incredibly hard to kill; regeneration... Elis of course has her mental weaknesses that can be taken advantage of.
As for the layout:
And yes, this means if you weren't keeping Elis' attention right now she'd have bolted up the stairs after Rumia/Koakuma/Kogasa and the encounter would have ended. Elis could quite happily exit stage left right now if she wasn't so enthralled fighting you. [And no; you wouldn't be able to keep up with her].
> You release a magical flash. Elis isn't as effected by it as you'd think [She's only weak to
sunlight] but she still is dazzled by it long enough for you to move out of the way behind the wall and create a mirror image of yourself. [No need to summon a mirror when you can accomplish the same but more with a basic illusion.]
> "You're just going to stand there? Do you think yourself impervious?" Elis cackles, before she says "Bloody Nebula!"
> Elis releases the magical vortex, which impacts with the mirror image and erupts into a wave of force; stardust and blood. Even from the distance you are at, in the corner of the second room, the blast is still quite strong. It rips through the wall, blowing the hole larger, and the blast wave also blows open the wall at the back of the room, as well as opening a large hole in the ceiling to the floor above. Fires are also now burning where various old tomes and bookshelves were.
> You hear Elis cackleing madly. "Not so high and mighty now, are you? I vaporized you! Now; to chase down those other meddlers..."
- Despite not taking a direct hit; Elis' Bloody Nebula was immensely powerful and still did a high amount of damage. That thing pulverized the
fort, and was clearly intended as a fatal attack.
- On the plus [?] side; she thinks she obliterated you. So her own status has completely reset. However, it is likly to rapidly change should you reveal yourself to be... alive isn't the right word. [Not doing so will cause her to leave the area however]

Side note: I intend to wrap this part up in the next post~2 barring things going out of my expectations. I would like feedback on this sort of battle system, since this is basically a trial run and similar [although not identical; since Gensokyo =/= Makai and Rumia and co =/= Louise] systems may be used for future fights where appropriate if you guys liked it.
