(Draven actually threw some energy from his sword at a distance, but I'll work with this.)
Draven's fire cresent missed. Still surging at his opponent at high speed, Draven went in for a downward slash. The clash of the two opposing auras in close proximity was violent. Surges of energy unsettled the ground all around, throwing bits of earth into the air as the two elements neutralized each other. Draven felt his blade hit his mark, although just barely. Repositioning himself to thrust it in further with both arms, he left himself open to Shin's counter attack, and realizing this an instant to late, leaned to the right and felt the icy coldness cut through the armor on his left side and grazing his skin. Draven lept backwards a few feet, now holding his crimson blade in his left hand and covering his wound with his right.
"Not bad, Aritan..."
Draven thrust his blade into the ground with one hand, causing the ground to split in the direction of Shin. A widening crack ran between his opponent's feet, which began to spew searing lava...

(Phew... You're all leaving me behind!)
The wraith, in the middle of a slashing attack, was hit by the firestorm's full force and disintigrated into nothing.
The remaining two apparitions backed up a bit and began to circle the whole group at high speed. Dim red translucent orbs appeared around them-- a protective spell against fire attacks.
The first charged at Haraldur at full speed, but it dissapeared in front of his face, reappearing behind him and attempting a horizotal slash across his back.
The second could not resist the children. It dive-bombed the barrier, throwing down a small black orb of energy that neaturalized it on contact. It then materialized behind the two petrified children, aiming to place a horizontal slash across their necks...
(Permission granted to kill the two wraiths, as long as it is done in good taste and by two different characters.)
