MTG: Blue Ghost vs. Lix Lorn

[Blue Ghost]

In a clearing somewhere between the planes, we meet.
I've been training a bit since we've last met. This magic isn't that much different from standard wizardry, actually. Let's see how much I've learned, shall we?

Wow. You really are good.

Blue raises his staff, and a blue wave of energy pours forth, like the bubbling of sea foam mixed with a tinkling celestial laughter.

He concentrates, collecting his energy into a portal to the far reaches of other planes. From the portal emerges a wizard holding a flower bud. He releases the flower bud, which floats into the air and remains suspended there, sleeping peacefully.
