Nova enters the arena wearing a wide-brimmed, high-crowned black-hide hat. She gives a couple practice motions of whipping out her metamagic rod and aiming it before taking the ready position. She is still riding her horse, now more fitting that ever before.

Ilithyia rode in on her own horse. Faltering at the last moment, Nova drew her rod quicker than Ilithyia could cast...

Turn to follow.

Ilithyia drew Longthunder and spoke a word, causing it to erupt in flames. Stating another arcane phrase, the general threw her weapon towards Nova and her horse, cutting both. As the blade delved into Nova, Ilithyia had hoped it would release an electric shock but pouted as the Gods decided spell-stored weapons could not be triggered remotely :(
