<<Aiden: Cast: Summon Swarm>>

Just as you begin gathering the magical energy to Summon a Swarm of Agony upon your foes, you feel
your Scry Stone buzz in your pocket. Mayhaps Dugald has some dire news from another front?

Mmm. You don't recognize the energy signature, so it isn't Dugald, but it's definitely Geomancy
which likely means it's some other Druid.

Actually, preparing any quickcast spells and hidden weapons is exactly what he meant. You
aren't even well versed in knifeplay, so you don't know what help daggers would be.
<<Accept but send out the swarm to help out.>>

Casting the Swarm spell ought to be alright if they don't influence the duel. You call upon a
swarm of Vespula vulgaris to harass the Fae forces.

Fae are not Elven, and do not share the same racial strengths and weaknesses. Though their
similarities in physical appearance are no coincidence. As the oldest sentient race, the Elves
were the first people the Fae encountered in the physical plane, and thus served as the initial
template the Fae took to base their physical forms off of.

The two of you take to your Dream Forms in the newly created Dream Bubble to duel as Druids
often tend to do. This should allow the both of you to fight at full power, but prevents either
of you from channeling extra power from any nearby Terrestial Ley Lines or Geocircles, or from
dealing irreparable damage to the landscape.

Ok, aside from killing a potentially annoying enemy pretty quickly or diverting his attention for an extended period, there is no reason to not simply advance on him with friends and run him through or blast him to bits. Though cool, one on one fights rarely serve a purpose in a somewhat balanced fight.
