The evil wizard was now controlling the Council. He would lay waste any refuge I'd flee to. So I faced him. His magic was superior to mine. No spell I'd cast on him could defeat him. So I cast one on myself, becoming super fast so I'd defeat him using Physics not Magic.
A protection field a few feet around would reflect back at the sender any spell or object cast at him (so to get rid of guards, make them shoot him), but let missing bullets pass through. I shot two near misses so that the bullets collided past the field then combined to hit him.
