Irene (Book 3) Animation

Irene's areomancy and other abilities evolved as she got older and the years carried on. The glow on her left hand when she performs her healing incantation is larger now, which is a sign of how far she came with her training. In this animation, Irene does use the grappling hook in her gauntlet to swing past chasms or get a boost of speed. What does the hook grasp before Irene makes her move? It can vary depending on the location like if the grappling hook latched onto a branch or made a hole in a ceiling. If the space in the battle is wide open and it is outdoors, what it latches onto is anyone's guess. Any answer I might have for you if you ask might defy a logic. Anyway, the latter move is Irene's most powerful attack as it can fracture an enemy's defense, leaving them vulnerable to other attacks. For example, suppose Irene is in combat with a DeathKnight. If she used the grappling hook attack on him, half of his armor would break off if her cleats collided with it at that momentum. It's a wonder why the Valtrith family would want that pair long ago.
