[ It's interesting, to be tested by someone who doesn't know the vast span of things that Akua had done. She'd never really sparred before, her magics were quite a bit more... explosive -- like the superweapon one pulled out during the Turn -- but she knew the principles enough. It's a new way to exercise, and one she's not used to.
A stream of water is different, and there's a pause, as she considers. It's just a stream of water, after all. Efficiency demands little more than a shield to keep her dry, but the point of the exercise is to think it over, right? What would be most efficient? Catherine would have some cobbled together, wild idea about turning it to steam, while Masego would simply let it vanish before his eyes. Akua, though -- she was a touch more practical.
It's a simple spell, that she casts, nothing requiring high arcana, and when the water drew near, she moved forward, to touch it with her finger, the spell to cool it to freezing left her at the same time, letting it turn to ice, and fall to shatter to the ground.
She followed up with a small spell to draw them upwards, in a halo, before she let one fly --- again, trying to see what he would do. ]
