[Oh good, an excuse to show off; his favourite! With a pointy-toothed grin, Naugus snaps his fingers, conjuring a levitating ball of flame in his palm. It swirls around his hand and soon breaks off into smaller licks of flame, which then solidify into chunks of stone. They continue to orbit his hand like a miniature solar system before he clicks his fingers again and they, in a puff of frost, all snap and shimmer into ice. Leaving them to rotate a bit longer, the mage finally ends the demonstration with a flex of his hand, the ice bits evaporating into steam near instantly.]
