The wandering blue magician rubbed his chin as if to ponder the bandits demands like the were reasonable offer.
"Hmm....I dunno, I kind of like my stuff. How about you guy let me pass and I'll tell you all a secret for living longer, okay?" Yaku shouted his reply back up to the bandit leader whom simply became even more enraged,
"I guess you have a death wish after all. Kill him!" The bandit leader yelled before knocking his own arrow to join in the attack with his men. The volley of arrows would soar through the air with pinpoint accuracy, but the blue magician was ready for the assault and cast a spell to counter them.
"Subborn current!" Water formed at the tip of Yaku's staff which he pointed at the incoming attacks. The weak arrows were easily batted away by the powerful current of water being released from Yaku's staff.
As his spell deflected the ranged attacks, the two men with daggers sought to make their move, however Yakuroro had already planned for their attacks as well. Instead of ceasing magoi to the spell, he sustained it and turned the attack's direction in mid air. The attackers were only two meters from being in distance to stab Yaku when the current they thought had passed them looped back and crashed into them from the side. Yakuroro then turned the current yet again and used his flight spell to move towards the archers of the cliff driving the water current and their two washed up companions towards them as well. The archers panicked and tried to get off another two volleys, but Yakuroro was using the water current as a shield making the efforts in vain.
The current from Yaku's staff tossed the two dagger users into their allies on the cliff. With them all together like this he could put them all away in one shot. As the bandit leader got to his feet after being knocked down by water and two of his own men, Yakuroro smiled politely at him and said some parting words prior to casting a spell.
"You guys must not have been trying very hard. Thanks for letting me pass! In exchange I'll tell you the secret." Yakuroro held out his staff and began gathering a large amount of water over his head into a 15m sphere of liquid.
"If you're going to be bandits, don't try to steal from an Imuchakk OR a magician. Certainly never someone who's both. Deep Freeze!" With the spell name cast, Yakuroro sent the ball of water to swallow up all six bandits only to freeze solid from the core outwards. Yakuroro sighed and then used his flight spell to carry him down the road faster than walking could. The reason for his haste was that he wanted to find a Zou army outpost before the bandits thawed. Sure enough, there was one not too far away and when Yakuroro told the soldiers there of his capture he was asked to show them the way. Soon the bandits were in custody and Yakuroro was rewarded for his efforts.

Name: Stubborn Current
Tier: C
Cost: 20 magoi on cast; 10 sustain
Element: Water
Class: Offensive
Range: 10m
Duration: Up to 2 Turns
Cool-Down: 3 Turns
Description: This spell uses a few simple commands to make water condense at the tip of the users staff before being released in a high pressure stream. This stream of water twists and churns as it crashes forwards with enough force to knock a target back at least 5m. If a large object is swept up with the stream or the target is pushed back into a sturdy surface, the impact can potentially crack or break bone. The stream can be guided to turn and change direction so long as it hasn't left 10 meters of the user. The stream itself is 2m in diameter and will cease if something cuts off the flow from the users staff. Knocking the staff from the users hand is another method of stopping this spell.
