Hulgarth jumped back, stumbling and barely able to avoid the spell. "Bryn, without the use of my magic I don't think I will be able to dispatch this vampire. I need some assistance!"

"Duck!" Urik yelled, though few guards did so.

One tried to block the fireball with his shield, but was launched back when it exploded.

Another was shocked with the lightning and fell dead.

The Winterhold catapults fired back at the Blackhearts. While catapults had smaller range than trebuchets, their higher altitude gave them a boost in range so that they could fire blow for blow against the enemy.

The new walls managed to hold for now, but the fire from the oiled up projectiles managed to kill some of the guards atop the battlements.

"Ah, here it is." Drevis said, pointed at a page of the tome. He was still ignoring the intruders as if they were nothing.

Brelyna, however, was pretty worried. She took out her staff and cast Ebonyflesh on herself. "Master Drevis, maybe we should deal with them first."

"Nonesense, this is much more important." He said.

A ward went up around the inner part of the Arch-Mage's chamber, protecting Drevis, Brelyna and Jo'Khar.

"According to the tome a spell that changes the weather like this is pretty hard to pull off on such a large scale. It requires numerous casters to keep it up with their magicka. Trying to cast a spell to undo it won't do any good as long as those casters remain active."

She was going to shoot a fireball from her staff at them when the old Dunmer called out to her.

"Brelyna, no need to waste time with them." He said. "Before the ward runs out, touch that black sphere there in the center of my room." He headed there and touched it.

She followed his example.

He gestured for Jo'Khar to do the same while pouring some magicka into the sphere and concentrated his mind on the target location.

The Mages held firm. Inside the College building, the fog wasn't hindering their regeneration in major way like it was outside so they were able to cast numerous spells.

Faralda charged up a Master Destruction spell, readying to cast it against the brutish vampire that was fighting the Atronachs.

The other mages focuses on keeping the other Blackhearts at bay.

"Many of them were destroyed or fell into ruin." Rigmor said. "Why they stopped being used hundreds of years ago, I do not know. Maybe the Empire placed a ban on them when Tiber Septim came into power. With any luck, we can get the one in Windhelm to function."

Mera gestured for the group to follow her. "The Wayshrine is not far from the Palace, just a few minutes from here. It's been converted into a statue, the old frame destroyed, but the center stone is still there."
