Xuanzi

``In the name of Sui, I summon the waters from deep within to rise and cascade unto thee!'' Xuanzi intoned as she drew a large circle with her left hand. Beneath her feet, a deep rumbling sound could be heard and in a few short seconds a torrent of water gushed straight out of the ground like a geyser, tracing an arc as it spouted through the air and followed gravity to cascade upon Lian.

Lian cussed and flicked her finger in the direction of the water cascade as she leant backwards and kicked her feet forwards. Two powerful ki blasts emanated from her feet and pushed her forcefully backwards as a single ray of focused ki leapt from her finger towards the water cascade. Thanks to her backwards lean, Lian maintained her aim and the focused ki hit true, smashing straight into the enchanted waters and pulverising the guiding elemental energies surrounding it.

Water splashed every which where and Xuanzi was pushed on to her back by the uncontrolled cascade of the spout on top of her, acting the way water normally did without any elemental interference. Xuanzi landed hard and felt the wind knocked out of her as her wet white habit clung onto her waif frame. Despite the hard landing, Xuanzi managed to recompose herself and rolled herself up into a sitting position.

``As Huo is my witness, let the flames of light rain upon you like the water did to me!'' This time, Xuanzi drew two smaller circles with her fingers and pointed them at Lian. From above, a solar corona discharge suddenly appeared and arced its way through the atmosphere, burning a path of blazing orange as it went.

Lian didn't wait to see the effects of the new spell that Xuanzi had cast. She leapt up into the air, gaining additional altitude with more ki blasts from her feet. Once she was about twenty feet in the air, she suddenly dive-bombed in the direction of Xuanzi. The bolt arced through the sky, following the trajectory of Lian towards Xuanzi, who had just gotten up onto her feet, her finger still pointing at Lian.
