#WIPSnips 9.10 "teeth"

...in which our hero has been zapped by some kind of magic and can't move.

Electricity fizzled within me, sharp and prickly, as I strained to move. Whatever spell they’d thrown held fast. Boots thumped on the deck behind me, moving towards the companionway, then clattering dully on the ladder.
A jolt of the boat rolled me over, and I saw Corbin fighting with the wheel and a pirate at the same time. Whatever they’d zapped me with only had one shot, apparently, but the apprentice was holding his own. Ducking to avoid a flailing machete, he yanked the wheel, and the boat slewed the other way. I distinctly heard the crossbow skitter away from me on the deck.
Gritting my teeth, I closed my eyes and prayed, “Archangel Sariel, aid me in my hour of need. Unravel these magics. Break these chains.” A surge of power answered me. The fire crackled again within my limbs, hot, hotter, and then shattered in a painful burst. Feeling rushed through me, then weakness. Shuddering, I pushed myself over and struggled to one knee.
