[ A shield is hardly a deterrent for the Blight, so it crashes against it with full force. The shield stops Lightblight from getting its clawed hands on Somnus, but at least some of the Malice manages to make contact. The sticky goo suctions itself to his wrist and starts to siphon the energy that gives Somnus form. The monster picks itself up and lunges again at Somnus, but this time collides with nothing as he warps away.
Although Somnus managed to sear away the tendril of Malice that grabbed him, he might still feel its effects. Besides siphoning away whatever strange dreamworld energy it is that gives Somnus form, the Malice is also trying to poison him with negative emotional energies, like anger and hate. The goo itself is hatred given physical form and it aims to spread that feeling as much as possible.
The Blight turns and finds its prey in front of the crystal containing its other prey. Come? Very well. Malice wriggles down the Blight's arms and takes the form of a bow. The Blight draws back on the string and charges up a shot of pure energy, glowing white hot and red in a malicious perversion of the princess's own powers. It fires the bolt up into the sky, where it splinters into dozens more arrows that rain down on Somnus and the crystal. Each bolt is sharp enough to pierce flesh or shatter glass. Its aim is to skewer Somnus, but if he warps away again, then at least it should still be able to damage the crystal. ]
