The range puts him at a slight disadvantage--having her closer is better, but Gray has a longer reach on her weapon and that's something that's forefront to Syrlya's mind. Rather than risk gauging her strike wrong, he ducks under his shield and casts a sheer magical barrier in a dome over himself to absorb the blow.
He can see bright light out the corner of his eye--and hopes that will provide cover for his spell.
He traces his fingers a couple inches over the ground, generating another, larger, circle of magic under their feet. If it manages to catch Gray, the force of the magic will pull her into a middle, as if by an invisible tether. The binding isn't visible, and if she's unable to escape the circle it will then float her up into the air and then yank her down violently to the floor.]
