[Jade, meanwhile, had his eye on an enemy mage, who was currently too preoccupied with Sephiroth's advance to pay much mind to anything else. The distraction would cost him; Jade promptly cast a Fira spell, causing the mage to fall shrieking and flailing on the ground. Nothing distracted people quite like setting them on fire.

He had time for one more Fira before enemy troops were swarming past Sephiroth and coming at him, intent on getting rid of the nuisance. Jade allowed them to cross the distance. Only when it was too late for them to notice he wasn't wielding a staff did he act; the unfortunate warriors practically ran into the Crescent Moon, dropping dead as Jade jumped over them, his mage hat falling off, to strike down the next wave.

As fun as the action was, however, Sephiroth and the Esdham soldiers were dealing with the front-line fighting just fine. Jade had his role to play; as soon as he had some breathing space, he resumed his casting. A Fira here, a Thundara there, any enemies trying to flank them met a sudden and painful end.]
