The web now was set aflame, and with it the one who spun it.  Stitch now stopped in his tracks.  Then a bit of a laugh.

Defense: Shed

Effect: the blazing layer of cloth is removed and simply tossed aside.  Needles now come out of Stitches back and resew his outer layer.  However something is different.  On his upper right chest a button shaped like a heart.

"I'm going to need a second to resew.  Please protect me master.  The web is burned, so it is safe to move."

The boy unhooks his cape, tosses his hat to the side, and removes his mask.  The slight heat of the fire was getting to him.  Oddly, the left side of his face was wrapped entirely in bandages above the mouth.  It would seem he had something that injured his eye and face.

"Very well.  You just prepare yourself."

Alistair now shifts his shadow rings slightly.  The figure of Karyana fades into them.  It was at this point they glowed with a gloomy purple glow.

"Time for the true power of the shadow realm."

His hands now catch on fire, but the flame is peculiar.  Its color was the same as the rings.  Not only that, but a purple dot of light came from under the bandages.

Attack: Soul fire

Effect: The inside of the arena now explodes with the fire wielded by the shadow rings.  It does not set things ablaze, but it does harm all in the area with a soul.  Those effected are quickly drained of their life, energy, and power as it fuels the fire.

Stitch seemed unaffected by the attack.  he simply continues his sewing.
