The scorpion is banging on the barrier like a madman. This is not a good thing.
When it was scuttling around, I could use a moment when it was further away to jump in and cast some magic. But this scenario doesn't give me any breathing room.
I need to make it give me some space.
I wonder how it will react to an illusion. I know from my early life that scorpions have really bad eyesight but have the best light sensitivity in the entire animal kingdom.
And I've been told that the so-called 'giant' scorpions from the Barrens share this trait.
I say 'so-called' because those 'giant' scorpions are the size of dogs. The creature in front of me is on a whole other level.
Hm, time for some illusion, then.
I use fire magic to create a strong light and air to refract it like a really bright flashlight, focused on the scorpion's face.
It reels back, screeching in agony.
This is my cue. The creature is still very close to the barrier, only momentarily blinded and confused.
