Leon had suspected it when he saw Kratos cast First Aid that night in the clinic, and now he was certain of it--somehow, the spells of Kratos' world and of his own were the same. He was very glad to be out of the range of Eruption, especially since he was without Chaltier's magic to shield him from the worst of its effects. But the spell also granted him an excellent opportunity to try to take out one of Kratos' opponents.

Swinging the knife with a sharp, practiced motion, Leon murmured softly, "Majinken" and released the energy he'd summoned into the blade. A shockwave identical to Kratos' Demon Fang sped towards the staff-wielder as he rolled on the ground to try to put out the flames licking at his clothing and hair. Was it a cheap shot, attacking a man who was on the ground and on fire? Yes. Was it a good move, tactically? Absolutely.
