Robin moved quickly, as she saw them taking aim. She started running, first; the missiles exploded into the ground behind her. She was grateful for that, at least, because those weapons unnerved her. The guns, too, gave her pause. She held a hand out while she ran, cradling her tome in her free hand. She looked between the soldiers, then she stopped. She spun, as the lightning danced over her fingers.

A flash erupted around her. "Here's how it's done!"

The blast of lightning flew from her hand, shooting towards the small group of foot soldiers. When the lightning came close, it exploded out in a ring between them and huge forks of the stuff shot this way and that for the soldiers.
