[Of course it wasn't going to be that easy and the appearance of that crow wasn't what he needed. Why couldn't Joshua's familiar be even half so useful? He and Prince shall have words when this is all over.
But Joshua flinches away from the falling feathers or rather tries tp but finds himself hit by a few and he suddenly his limbs freeze, refusing to obey. A panic sets in for a moment, because it's probably his first time being hexed in this place. And now there is darkness about him, sitting heavy, almost like a weight...
But then the hiss of the spectral serpent he summoned wakes him up and he tries force himself to break free. After a moment whatever hold the hex had on him breaks and he's able to force the serpent, pierced with feathers by now, to do the same.
Staggering for a moment, Joshua steadies himself with his cane, turning his mind to the next task, overcoming the darkness. His own light had weakened thanks to those feathers and he had to make up the lost momentum.
He makes the snake move and change so that it's now more iridescent, made of pure light itself. And then it hurtles towards his opponent, with the intent of ingulfing him in it's glowing coils.
Of course it's only an illusion and the right spell can break it, but it's also moving fast. A man would have to be a quick thinker to stop it.]
It's cool!
