>Quickly run this idea past our allies, see which feels more comfortable taking the lead with this, and then try to quickly erect one before Patchouli breaks free of the containment gel. If we can specify, translucent would be nice, so that one of us could theoretically have a conversation with her while contained. Assuming any part of this works at all, of course.
>
I can do that. Lily says confidently.
>White Rose gives her a nod.
We'd better hurry. she adds, noting that the boiling metal surrounding Patchouli has begun to run like cold water. Anya is chanting again, trying to reinforce the spell, but the power emanating from the Avatar of Water is far beyond that of the metal miko. Even Kiku's magic couldn't hold her for long.
>So, delaying no longer, Lily brings her hands up and evokes her own spell, "Spring Lily Petal Cyclone!", sending a twisting column of flowers petals at the Water Avatar. Rin adds her own spell to the effort, casting "White Retainer's Flame Haze.", sending a gauzy screen of smoky flame from her fingers out to meet Lily's flowers. You add your own Sapphire Lotus, while Reisen adds: "Caster: Flame Wall". The three powers unite with Lily's, creating a burning column of intensely glowing flower petals, all linked together by thin filaments of blue light. The triply reinforced Petal Cyclone encircles the Avatar of Water, trapping her with a cylindrical column of twisting petals.
>And just in time as well. The rest of the molten metal sloughs off of Patchouli like slurry, until a flaming aura of power can be seen beneath. The aura erupts outward, hurling the molten metal away from the Avatar of Water. However, both are stopped by the Petal Cyclone Patchouli is now trapped within. The purple haired avatar stares incredulously as the metal disappears back into the nothingness from whence Anya summoned, and her aura dims. Experimentally, she presses her hand against the Cyclone, and then screams her frustration.
