The mage expended one of the blue gems on her staff. They were large, about the size of a man's thumbprint. A sphere of water appeared under the glowing item.
At the same time, the lancer activated his skill. The green gem in his hand dissolved. Its energy filled his veins and swam to his legs. His thighs and calves swelled. With a grin, he leapt, skimming the pool of mercury.
As soon as he was close to the conjured water, the mage used FREEZE. The sphere of water froze into a large block of ice. She sighed with relief as the lancer landed on the cube. Cockily, he only planted a foot on it.
Taking the item into his hand, he tucked it under his arm. With his free hand, he pulled the last green gem from his pocket and used it to activate LEAP. In a flash, he was across the pool of mercury and standing beside his comrades.
There was a great sigh of relief.
They did it! They retrieved the item!
