[Maero]

The staff wouldnt last much longer under such an assault, already it was breaking apart. A blow landed on his shoulder and then chest, breaking bones and cutting deep with the fanged head of the maul. But an aura appeared around Alex and his skin became strong as stone and the souls of the dying Darkspawn around him went into mending his broken bones. Not able to speak or use hand gestures, the casting Alex took much longer to get spells up and running, but it allowed for unbroken combat.
