[ Tons, she has tons of concussive blasts up her sleeve, but d'Artagnan's forcing her to make a choice. Just as Hawke had previously split his attention, he's done the same, only a pilum launched at her is a bit more worrisome than a rock tripping someone up. On one hand, it looks like he's wising up fast on how to deal with a mage. On the other...
He threw a javelin at her! Really? Who does that?!
She's going to deal with that first. Not with more twisting out of the way, but instead standing her ground, making certain her feet are planted firmly on the ground at the same time, as if expecting an impact, and bringing her staff up into the grip of both hands. She raises it up fast, as if she means to block the pilum itself with a mere (albeit not weak) stick, but that isn't what happens. The point connects, sure enough, but a sharp eye will catch it isn't connecting with the staff at all. Light refracts around Hawke for a split second, in a semi-dome shape, brightest at where it had been struck. The javelin ricochets off, spinning away and landing point first in the dirt again, though not too far from its original mark.
Of course, in doing so, she's left herelf open at the side d'Artagnan is racing for. ]
