The shadows now fell around Alistair.  His rings now went blank, and the glow of his covered eye disappeared.  A grin came on his face.

"Stitch will be happy that you harmed the button last.  I must thank you for that."

He seemed to be ignoring her slightly.

"But now we need to get right to it."

He seemed to walk around Karyana.

"In all my years of travel, I have learned much.  In that time, I mastered all three classes of magic.  Conjuration, spell-casting, and even rune-using.  Not only that, but I can cast any type of spell.  Darkness, void, energy, fire, water, earth, air, and light.  This may be the case, but I have met others like you.  Even if your intent is good or evil, you are the same as all of them.  You have something to learn from.  something I still not know."

His hand now slowly raised to his bandages.

"Something I know and yet I lack to capacity of knowing.  Now it is time to find out..."

The cloth medical straps now fell from his face.  what lay underneath was now visible.  An eye, demonic in nature, largely and horrifically covering a good portion of the left of his face.  It now glared at Karyana, examining every feature.

Attack: Eye of knowledge

Effect: Now learns the moveset of the enemy.

"Ah.  sweet knowledge...  I crave it.  The more I learn, the better I become.  It isn't easy being the master of magic, but I can't help it."

He now held out his arms, his rings glowing clear white.

"We know are at an impasse.  Unless you think you can survive Second Genesis than you are..."

He now grabbed at his eye.  It seemed to be causing him a bit of pain.

"Forgive me.  My gift is my greatest struggle.  I'm afraid the eye was from my father.  He fought in this contest long ago.  Back when it began...  He lost, but from his loss I learned.  Now I am ready to finish this fight."

Attack: impasse

Effect: Now holds rings out, waiting for his enemy to move first.
