Here's a simple combat example. Say we have a party of three - our chivalrous Yan, brave Garton and noble Nasira, a young fire magic mistress. They have been attacked by a few vicious Vulturemen somewhere in the hot desert of Ognis. Both, attackers and the party, are thrown into a desert arena, with a calm oasis in the background, and the battle starts. The Vulturemen have the initiative since they took the party by a surprise and thus they get to attack first. With their small but very sharp swords each of them deals considerable damage proving how tough an opponent the Vultureman can be. Now, it is time for the party to respond. Garton, who was the first to come to his senses after that initial shock, casts Tremor which stuns the Vulturemen for quite a while. Vulturemen are very fast enemies so winning the time may be the key to victory. Then Nasira casts a powerful flaming ring that literally burns the target for a few seconds instantly killing the closest of the Vulturemen. Now that he regained the previously lost initiative, Yan can actively join the combat. The situation looks under control, but since the Vulturemen's attack severely hurt the party, Yan heals his friends. Yan's actions are just in time, as the Vultureman start to attack again! One Vultureman turns towards Nasira and attacks with fury. But before he gets close enough, Nasira launches a counterattack sending him to the ground. However, the last remaining Vultureman manages to hit Garton. At that moment, Yan regains the initiative. He jumps high in the air with his sword aimed at the enemy, crashes down on him with an amazing impact to finish the battle with this combo attack.
