"Leave the Daughter of Julianos to me." Orkey said. "Neither of you can stand against her now that she can block your absorption of godly essence and magicka."

He deduced, from his own inability to absorb magicka, that she was able to somehow block all absorption in her surrounding area. Magicka was Aetherial energy that leaked into Mundus through the sun and stars, it was how mortals were able to perform magic. If they could not use their innate ability to absorb the surrounding magicka in the world around them then they couldn't use magic. Similarly, most Half-Gods absorbed power from their godly parent innately to wield their powers. With their innate absorption cut off they could not use their powers either. However, his body was different. He didn't need to absorb godly aura that leaked from Oblivion or from the Divines, his soul was that of a god and so he already had all the power in him already.

''This body won't be able to withstand my full power without consequence. If this fight drags on for too long this avatar's body could turn to ash.'' He realized. Orkey knew that he needed to get close to her so he could touch her and end this fight by draining her of lifeforce, but if she could see through his illusions then that would be tricky indeed.
