This leads him into a dangerous situation that nobody would normal survive.
The following is an extract from the book:
She shouted, "You're a dirty rotten cheat! You've been playing us all along."
As she shouted, the rest of the group backed off. They had clearly been expecting an explosion from the woman. I just sat in my chair with a calm smile on my face, looking her directly in the eye. She had one of her daggers in her hand and threw it directly in between my eyes.
Just as her dagger was about to penetrate my temple, the shield I had been preparing all day flashed into existence with a blue wave of energy.
The dagger froze in place as the man from the guild muttered, "Magician," with some fear.
I was still looking into her eyes as I had not flinched or blinked, but was still smiling as if nothing had happened.
The dagger dropped to the floor with a clang and I said, "Fire magician, actually."
One of the man's pipes had fallen to the ground during the ruckus so I picked it up and relit it with a small flame. Passing it to the trembling man, I said in a dangerous tone, "I insist that we continue."
This had been my real gamble. After being burned by a fire magician and left for dead, I guessed that nobody wanted to suffer that fate. I'd been charging my magical shield all afternoon and hoping that it would be enough for one blow. Luckily, it was. If she had thrown a second time, I would have been dead - or whatever it is that happens to me in this world.
