Elric smiled, and raised one of his shackled arm to intercept the lightning with the shackle, which was made of metal. Touching the chain to the ground would mean the charge would flow away from him, as Elric's body was a poorer conductor than the chain. This would probably negate the attack.

Elric thought about it. If the mage used a kinetic ward to block his attack, then the only way he could actually fight would be to remove his own shackles. This would mean he could use magic to destroy magic. But he had more to try. Elric instead decided to use the chain on his right arm, and performed a whipping attack, to test the shape and range of the kinetic ward.
