Death Battle Prediction: Ashley VS Lok

Magic, one of the most powerful, versatile and commonly used sources of power in all of fiction. When wielded correctly, it can make small foes serious threats, and smart foes unstoppable. But what's most unique is its ability change the world, for better or worse often being a matter of perspective. Like with Ashley the demonic Witch from WarioWare, and Lok the divine ‘savior’ of Magicka. I’m Thor Gundersen1058 and it’s high time we had a good old fashioned Magic Fight!

Background

Ashley

In the Mushroom Kingdom's famous Diamond City, there rests a mysterious and spooky old Haunted Mansion. Within this Mansion there lives a young teen witch girl named Ashley. Ashley was born in a far away land, and moved away from her parents at a very young age to come to this mansion and train to be a powerful witch.

While her past is mysterious, in the Present, Ashley is a very hard working, hard studying witch in training who spends nearly all her time reading, practicing spells and brewing potions, all with no parental supervision whatsoever.

Ashley lives with a small demonic imp named Red who assists her in her pursuits. Unlike Ashley Red is extremely friendly and outgoing and would do anything to please her and be a good assistant. Ashley, generally considering herself too cool to act like that tends to be cold or even annoyed at him a lot of the time.

However she does love him and considers him her best friend, having shown it time and time again. Anyway, when they aren’t stirring up tons of trouble and magic in Diamond City, these two are regular employees of the famous Warioware.Inc. Both making and participating in absurd microgames for Wario and the other wacky citizens of Diamond City, despite Wario frequently trying to not pay them.

Her reasons for joining such goofy company are pretty simplistic, see underneath all the creepy goth persona, Ashley is just really desperate for friends, and though she's a bit proud to admit it, wants to help people and become amazing at magic both in order to make more friends. Ashley has been on tons of adventures across Diamond City and the Demon Realm over her training and no matter what stands in her way, she never gives up.

Ashley is a fairly complex character. She at once is very stoic, career focused and extremely confident in herself and her capabilities, but also can be shy and meek in regards to social situations. Ashley is hardworking, snarky and mysterious, wanting to act as though she is above it all, super great and cool. She looks out to accomplish great things in her own pursuits, but she also feels unsatisfied with those as the amount of work she puts in has left her somewhat distant and lonely. Ashley tries to be very dignified, often talking without much emotion with her occasional witty remarks, and not taking part in activities like dancing or toys due to them being ‘too girly’. However when her emotions do get the best of her it can be rather dramatic or intense. Ashley wants to rise in her status and become really popular and recognized. Her biggest character flaws are her inability to admit her own weakness and being stubborn. However these also let her push through obstacles and accomplish great things more often than not. Her biggest struggle comes from how in order to make friends, one needs to open up to others, let their guard down and participate in some games and gatherings. And when she can actually push herself to do that, she’s at her most popular.

Lok

The world of Midgård is often a silly place, magic makes even Death of little consequence in the long run. But even in a place such as this there can still exist tragedy.

The manipulator Vlad had foolishly thrown the world into a decades long conflict known as the Wizard Wars, pitting Wizards against each other in a magic bout that laid waste to the countryside and devastated its people. Most wizards involved ended up being resurrected so many times that their minds broke, leaving them useless babbling idiots no longer capable of using magic and thus nearly went extinct.

But magic is about balance, When a wizard releases a fire spell, it causes a spike in cold somewhere else to match it. When a massive chaos of a magical war happens, it causes a massive spike in order to balance it out. This immense stockpile of magical potential energy traveled far and wide, across all of Midgård into the snowy mountain peaks, where there exists a race of giant warrior beings known as the Vanir.

Here the Magic found its way to an infant Vanir and infused its power within, this ‘Chosen Child’ is prophesied to wield infinite Magical potential and unite and lead Midgård into a new age of prosperity, and her name was Lok.

Lok is the daughter to the Vanir’s chief Frida, and was mentored by a Vala named Elin in the ways of magic from an early age. Due to the blessings of the wars magical runoff, Lok was an immensely talented student and could near instantly master any basic spells taught to her without much effort.

Lok’s power gained enough notoriety that she was predicted to be a threat by armies of Orcs and was set out to be destroyed by the warrior monster, Khan IV the first.

Shockingly though, as Khan IV arrived a new Wizard showed up and defended Lok, slaying Khan for her. Being selflessly saved by a seemingly small and weak wizard greatly inspired Lok, inspired her that even small people can do great things. So much so that when Lok’s adviser tried to have the Wizard killed, she stopped her and saved The Wizard by agreeing to keep it as a pet rather than kill them. After that was settled Lok started on her new goal, Uniting the wartorn Midgård and making it a better place for everyone.

Lok through her infinite magical potential created not only new spells but entire new elements, making her one of the most powerful entities Midgård has ever seen, and by one years time had build up an entire empire after uniting 4 warring species, however in doing so she was naive to the fact she was trouncing on the rights of pursuits in a quest to keep everyone equal and happy, and for this had to be stopped. She had grown so powerful however that the only way to stop her was with an ancient and extremely powerful Magicka, Disruptor. Disruptor is an extremely broken spell that blocks an elemental attack and removes that elemental ability from the user, turning it into a ball. Through this Lok was able to be defeated by having her powers confiscated and sent home, and the new age of Wizards began.

Lok, despite being the final boss of the game, is a very compassionate person. Lok is kind, merciful, progressive and likes to rally behind causes she feels are just. She is often times rather curious and eccentric, finding the wizard wondrous and even cute and toiling most of her day in her workshop inventing new magic or tools. The Wizard was a big inspiration to her and as such she saw them as a ally and friend. This trust she had in the wizard is also why she was so agitated when they came back against her later. Lok’s biggest character flaws are her spoiled and inexperience nature. She grew up a prodigy child to a chief, and while she really wants to help others, doesn’t understand others well enough to know the best ways to do so. This causes her to be rather uncompromising and think she knows what is best when she lacks the wisdom to actually see it. Ultimately Lok is the Order of the Magicka story, in trying to fix the chaos caused by Vlad at the beginning, she ends up taking it to the opposite extreme and has to be stopped so things can be the normal status quo again. She is far from evil, she's just a misguided kid who genuinely wants to make a world where everyone’s happy.

Intellect & Skills

Ashley

Ashley has been training in magic since her very early childhood and even now as a teenager, spends so much of her time reading spellbooks, trying new potions and practicing her spells that she has next to no social time. Ashley’s spellbook is sentient and can and has directly walked her through spells when she is making a mistake. Through this Ashley is actually both the best and most experienced spellcaster in all of Diamond City. She's also smart and responsible enough to completely take care of herself and live alone, and is evidently really good in school.

Lok

Lok was mentored since her early childhood by a Vala named Elin, Vala are very intelligent and clever witch like people and taught Lok not only normal schooling, but also how to use magic. Through this, Lok’s protege abilities aren't on magic alone as she seems to be a real Jack of All Trades in terms of useful skills. Lok is a extremely talented manipulator who in just one years time was able to unite three different species of people and forge an empire that stretched across all of Midgård, and was described as a perfect leader. Additionally Lok is raw intelligent enough to build artificially intelligent robots, and skilled enough with magic that it is shown that she herself would have defeated Khan effortlessly had the Wizard not interfered.

Powers

Ashley

After Training as a Witch her entire life, Ashley has developed a wide variety of magical powers and spells she can use by drawing power from the Demon Realm. These spells include:

• Photokinesis:

One of Ashley’s most hard practiced spells is her ability to manipulate plant life, she is capable of creating and controlling gigantic carnivorous plant monsters larger than entire buildings to fight at her side, among other things like manipulating vines and creating flowers.

• Control Over Weather:

Ashley is casually able to cast large storms, or even create them just as a side effect of her own spells, these storms can move in rapidly and cover the sky, as well as rain and other such storm stuff.

• Summoning:

Ashley has also mastered the ability to summon demonic entities from the Demon realm. These monsters will serve her in whatever way she asks while on Earth via her power and are superhumanly powerful.

• Teleportation:

Handily, Ashley can also Teleport herself and others at will. Her teleportation was even able to teleport herself from the Demon Realm back to her house, which means this is actually cross-dimensional teleportation as well.

• Electrokinesis:

Even without a wand, Ashley can blast powerful lightning attacks from her hands, these electric bolts travel even faster than Ashley’s own flight speed and are capable of disintegrating cookies as large as a person in a single shot.

• Voodoo:

Ashley’s Voodoo powers allow her to inflict Forced Empathy on to her foe, so long as she can summon or create a doll that looks vaguely like her victim. Forced Empathy is a hax that causes the victim to feel and experience pain and damage being done to another person or object, disregarding durability. She can perform this spell without a wand.

• Umbrakinesis:

Ashley can also manipulate Darkness, and is able to quickly coat the entire environment in darkness for attacks.

• Size Manipulation:

Made pretty iconic by the English theme, Ashley can alter size and grow herself, others and objects to the size of buildings, or shrink them to the size of a mouse.

• Telekinesis:

Ashley has also gained Natural telekinesis, and can use this to casually levitate herself and perfectly move and control objects around her.

• Transmutation:

One of Ashley’s favorite powers is her ability to transmutate people and objects. She does this through firing magical beams and can transmutate multiple beings at once. She has turned legions of Mandrake into harmless pumpkins and is also stated to have turned her teacher into a spoon, which would be an instant kill.

• Purification:

Ashley was able to Purify the powerful demon Hum Gree, who had been corrupted by darkness into a being of unending gluttony, back into his original loving state.

• Dimensional Travel:

One of the most Esoteric abilities in Ashley’s arsenal is her ability to open vortex’s which teleport herself and others into fictional worlds, including the spooky nightmare world, or the sweet candy world. Ashley can use this to change up her environment, or even just BFR her opponents. Ashley can also leave these dimensions with her own magic and it will Always drop her were the book the world originated from is.

• Superform:

When Ashley gets serious, she enters into her superform, signified by her black hair turning a ghostly white as she removes all restraint.

In this form Ashly becomes vastly physically stronger to the point she can casually coat the horizon in darkness just by getting mad.

Similarly all of her spells get a massive boost, gaining a much higher Area of Effect and being able to almost one-shot boss enemies.

• Dark Zone:

The Dark Zone is a pretty Iconic spell of Ashley’s, creating a large area of magic that inflicts numerous random negative effects on the opponent. It can bury them in the ground, turn them invisible, slow down time, cause them to spatially move the opposite direction they intend, shrink them, and even invert the effects of things used within it, such as making healing cause damage.

Lok

As the Chosen Child, Lok’s magic is her ultimate trump card, making her almost unstoppable in her own verse. Despite only being a tween, she has unmatched natural talent and can easily wield all 8 of the Wizards Elements, these elements include:

• Shield:

The Shield element allows its user to cast energy barriers in a large, LARGE variety of ways. Normal Shields can take the form of protective walls, all encompassing force fields and even a skin tight armor that coats the users body.

All of these will deflect projectiles away and can protect the user from damage, even from foes as strong as Cthulhu, who is stated to be able to destroy the entire planet of Midgård. However, Shields can only be hit a small handful of times before dissipating.

Shields can also be affixed with numerous other elements like fire, ice, electricity and far more, to unleash these effects upon anyone whom dare strike it.

One can also create numerous small spherical shields filled with elemental energy called mines, these detonate upon contact and launch foes far backwards, unleashing the effects of whatever elements filled it.

Lastly when shields are made into the skin tight energy armor, they can be mixed with other elements to form Aura’s. Aura’s allow the user to both absorb and heal from attacks of that same element, Lightning Aura absorbs lightning, Fire Aura absorbs fire, and so on.

• Earth:

Earth is an extremely versatile element that grants wielders of it Geokinetic abilities. Able to create and fire large boulders, generate Earthquakes, encase any object in solid Stone and much more.

Earth can also be combined with every element except lightning, to create several different effects. Through this, Earth users can rain down meteors, make avalanches of snow boulders, create giant earth walls and armor, and even hilariously make a magic boulder that heals those near it.

• Life:

The Life Element is described as being Pure Life Energy and allows the user to manipulate it in any way they see fit. Life can be used to heal oneself from all forms of injury and sickness, or also be expelled out as beams or blasts to heal those around you.

Life can also be Imbued into objects, weapons or elements to heal those near it. Life however cannot be mixed with Death, and for this reason Life actually deals damage to the undead like zombies or vampires.

• Death:

The Death Element is described as Raw Entropy, breaking down causality and order and similar to life, can be fired off as deadly beams and blasts. Death magic will directly drain away the lifeforce of whatever it hits, making it the most purely deadly substance that exists in Midgård.

Death can also be Imbued upon objects weapons and other elements to greatly increase their lethality to anyone that comes into contact with them. Obviously though it can’t be mixed with Life, but funny enough Death Magic actually heals the undead like zombies and vampires.

• Water:

The Water Element grants Hydrokinetic abilities, allowing the user to create and manipulate...well Water. Users can create tidal waves, water streams, geysers and even rain.

Water can be combined with every element except lightning to other such attacks like avalanches of snow or Steam which horrendously burns the target and obscured their vision.

• Lightning:

The Lightning Element gives Electrokinetic powers, able to summon and control lightning and electricity. Electric beams, bolts and even lightning strikes from the sky that do massive amounts of damage.

Lightning can be combined with every element except Earth and Water, and make electric barriers and lightning imbued fire.

• Cold:

The Cold Element is described as a complete and total absence of heat, which naturally is absolute zero. Cold is able to near instantly frost over anything it hits, and can both deal damage to enemies but also drastically slow them down or even freeze them entirely.

Cold is able to be combined with every element except Fire, most notably it can be combined with water to create Ice and be used for all sorts of cryokinetic ice attacks, such as jagged ice projectiles and spikes from the ground.

• Fire:

Lastly, The Fire Element grants the user all sorts of Pyrokinetic abilities. Users of Fire can blast streams and balls of flame and create explosions of burning death.

And yeah, Fire can Imbue tons of things and every element but Cold to add a more lethal burning touch.

More Deadly than All of these however is Lok’s ability to create New Elements at will, continually allowing her to gain potentially infinite new abilities, some elements we know she has created include.

• Poison:

Poison Element blasts a stream of toxic and acidic liquid that eats away at afflicted foes health overtime, the greater the exposure the more assured death becomes.

• Wind:

The Wind Element granted Lok Aerokinesis, with it Lok can control gasses and air and use it as a weapon.

Her most common use of this is to create massive balls of compressed air, which track their opponents movements and detonate on contact. Lok has also displayed the ability to levitate and fly likely using this ability too.

• Sense:

Sense gives Lok a powerful awareness of her surroundings, she was able to sense the life force of everyone in an entire castle, and can recognize who’s lifeforce belongs to who. She can also sense undead beings like Vlad who is..uhhhhh NOT a vampire?

Lok is also able to sense someone's levels of power which lets her judge how extreme a threat they may be.

• Time:

With Time element, Lok gained access to the Wizards ability to slow down time to a crawl, however Lok has displayed control enough over this ability to allow it to only affect herself, so unlike the wizards should be able to slow down others without making herself slow too. Time Magic also gave Lok Immortality, now unable to grow old.

• Lava:

Lava Element lets Lok summon and manipulate molten rock in her attacks, blasting streams of lava or exploding it off of her body.

Lok’s Favorite use of this ability is to mix it with life and wind in order to create collections of sentient flying daggers made of obsidian. Obsidian is a volcanic glass sharp enough to have a monomolecular edge, and these collections will chase around and try to impale her foe until individually defeated.

• Crystal:

The Crystal Element lets Lok summon and manipulate crystal and minerals, and she has proven actually fairly talented with this, using it to construct a lotta ‘projects’ in her workshop for her cause.

• Bit:

Bit lets her summon forth pixelated videogame characters to fight on her behalf, because wynaut.

• Singularity:

Singularity is Lok’s most purely damaging Element, it is somewhat based off the Wizards own ultra dangerous Vortex Magicka.

Singularity releases a ball of light which detonates to open a singularity, sucking in a unlucky enemy and compressing their body, focusing all the damage on multiple compressed point, making it far more damaging than normal, likely whole levels above.

• Goo:

The Goo element blasts out a thick viscous slime which traps foes unlucky enough to be claimed by it in the restraining substance.

• Plasma:

Plasma is an extremely deadly element that allows Lok to launch the intensely burning substance out as a projectile weapon.

Its most famous use however is being used in combination with earth and life to create metal robots that can tunnel underground and both blast and chain lightning off of each other to make traps and deal damage.

• Radiation:

With the Radiation Element, Lok can create legitimate Nuclear Explosions, which blast out with a force of over 14 kilotons, laying waste to everything in its path.

• 8-Ball:

This Last Element comically summons Giant Falling 8-Balls to be used as a weapon.

Weapons & Equipment

Ashley

• Red:

Red is Ashley’s personal assistant and best friend. A small imp from the Demon Realm, Red is cheery, fun, outgoing and will do whatever he can to assist Ashley in any way. While Red is a massive coward and possesses very little fighting capability, he does have the ability to shapeshift into anything of similar size to himself.

Through this, he is actually the vast majority of Ashley’s Weapons and equipment, the most notable form being Ashley’s Wand, which focuses her magical power and allows her to cast powerful spells.

Red also has several other forms including Ashley’s broomstick which allows her to fly through the night sky, as well as Ashley’s parasol which allows her to gently float to the ground.

• Witch-Stick:

The Appropriately named Witch-Stick is a backup wand Ashley possesses so that she is able to use a wand and broom at the same time, as Red can’t be both at once.

Lok

• Golem:

Golem is the first in a line of deadly super warriors Lok is developing, a powerful artificially intelligent robot like creature which treats Lok as his master, whom he is undyingly loyal to. Golem’s are durable enough to effortlessly tank Lok’s own nuclear attacks, and similarly strong, they are also fast enough to land hits on Wizards. Golem’s run on a limited energy supply, which can be depleted through heavy damages. When Out of energy Lok need only blast it with magic to bring it back to full power, and in addition it gains effects based on what type of magic it was refueled with, such as ice, fire or electrical properties.

• Serenity Prison Orb:

The Serenity Prison Orb is an ancient and powerful magical artifact of the Vanir. It has the power to trap multiple foes inside of a void like pocket dimension contained within.

This Dimension sustains those trapped inside without food or water, but it is also impossible to escape due to its ability to nullify all magic within, undoing all active spells and preventing more from being cast. The only known way to escape is to shatter the orb from the outside.

• Possesses Infinite Magical Potential.
• Is prophesied to quickly conquer the world in the future.

Weaknesses

Ashley

Ashley is overly self confident in her magical abilities, and is very sure of herself in winning competitions or defeating enemies. Ironically Ashley has the exact opposite problem socially, often being very shy and distant due to a fear of rejection in her desire to make friends. In one of her bios it is stated that Ashley’s spells only work 40% of the time, however later in that same game, as well as in later games where she is actually playable, her spells are portrayed as working every time without fail, suggesting that overtime through practice this is no longer an issue.

Lok

Lok is Very arrogant in her own abilities and thinking. She is inexperienced and naive as to what she is doing on a grander scale and is not easy to convince out of her beliefs. Due to her immense natural power she has difficulty truly understanding the threat level of her foes often  treating them like misbehaving children or pets who she doesn't have to treat that seriously.

Battle

Owl’s hooted as smoke arose from the chimney of the haunted mansion. Lightning flashed, briefly illuminating the dark foggy night as Ashley and Red worked tirelessly on a new potion.

"Wow Ashley this potion looks really promising!" Red said with Glee.

Ashley glared over, "Quiet Red, I need Absolute concentration to pull this off"

Ashley grabbed a vile and prepared  to add but a single drop to her concoction, Slowly, Carefully...

Suddenly a horn blared from the outside, causing her to drop the vile and an explosion of bubbles filled the room, Pressing the two against the window.

Upon gazing out at the yard, Ashley noticed a large militaristic force of knights and strange warriors entering into Diamond City.

"Hmm, I wonder what this could be." Red stated in confusion.

"I don't know Red, But I don't Like it" Ashley teleported the two of them outside, where a nearby human greeted them.

"Why hello there Young Lady, would you be interested in Joining our Alliance under the leaders..." Ashley suddenly grabbed him by his shirt collar, and pulled him close into a death stare. The human let out a whimper as he gazed into her surprisingly fierce eyes.

"Woah, Chill out Ashley!" Red cried in vain, Ashley wanted information, and he was going to give it.

...

Meanwhile, in Castle Vanirhall, Lok toiled away with her latest Golem Design. It had been nearly a year since she created this Alliance and already it had swept across several more nations, creating new rules for the lesser kingdoms to help them achieve peace. Suddenly a bright light shown across her workshop, causing Lok to drop her tools as a small girl in a red dress teleported inside. 

"Oh, Hello there, who might you be?" Lok said, she gazed upon the girl, she was small even by human standards, but Lok new better than to underestimate those whom are tiny, she could sense a large amount of power coming from the girl.

A small, imp like creature spoke up from behind the girls leg. "I'm Red, and she is The Great Ashley, and we..." "Why are you invading my city?" Ashley interrupted.

Lok put her fur covered hand to her chest, hurt by the sudden accusation, "I am not invading your city, I am merely adding it to my glorious Alliance! Under my leadership, this world will see a new age of prosperity, mark my words, you will love the changes I'll make, no war, no famine, no struggle, I truly believe even one as tiny as you can do great things!"

Ashley looked at the girl, whom she learned was named Lok, she was tall, her ears were pointed, her hands hairy and ended in dagger like claws, a rat like tail swung behind her. Ashley was not one to be fooled by sweet talk, as she looked at the large mechanical monster behind the girl a question arose, what use would someone of peace have for that?

"Yeah, thanks but no thanks Lok, I want you to take your annoying forces out of my city so I can get back to my spells" Ashley bluntly stated.

Lok snickered, "that is not for you to decide girl, go back home and start a petition, in the meantime, Elin will show you out" she said turning her back on her.

Ashley, angered, blasted a lightning shot at the girls back, striking her and sending her smashing into a wall where several large rocks fell upon her position.

The Castle shook as fire build up under the rock pile, before the rocks violently exploded away, uncovering an extremely Angered Vanir girl. "H-How DARE You!" Lok cried unable to believe this Ashley's behavior. 

"You are going to listen to me, or you are Toast!" Ashley said levitating off the ground, transforming Red into her trusty wand.

FIGHT!

Lok stomped her foot to the ground and erupted forth a wave of sharp stalactites towards Ashley's position which Ashley nimbly teleported away from, before zapping Lok again with her lightning, this time however, the shocks didn't faze her as she took them easily.

Lok decided she would answer this with her Own Lightning attacks, and area cast lighting, filling the room with trails of electric shocks going in every which direction.

To Lok's amazement, the Witch was unfazed as she nimbly dodged every single strike of lightning at speeds Lok could barely even see.

Hm, she is fast, but she's not nearly fast enough to escape Me, Lok thought as she cast one of her own elements, Time. Everything in the room, the wind the lightning and even Ashley herself slowed down tremendously, everything except Lok. "Lets see you play hard to get Now!", the Vanir girl called as she struck Ashley with a powerful clawed slash to the face, sending her to the ground, then kicked her across the room into her new Golem before landing to the ground.

Lok dropped the time slowing effect and loaded herself with water magic, before blasting it into her Golem, charging up its power. The Golem stood, water magic coursing through its fists as it loomed over the tiny witch.

"FULL POWER MY MASTER" The Golem stated. Ashley looked over at a nearby bookshelf.

"Golem, activate the enforcement protocol" Lok cried out as the Golem readied a powerful water blast. The room suddenly grew pitch black as Ashley teleported away from the blast. Unable to see, Lok produced a large flame from her hand, illuminating the room in an orange glow. Ashley having taken one of the books from the shelf, held aloft a page containing a creepy dark forest, and opened a portal, sucking herself, Lok and the Golem inside.

Lok and the Golem fell into the dark forest from the story, as Ashley had Red switch into her broom and pulled forth her Witch-Stick. Ashley cast a spell mutating dozens of the plants in the area into monstrous Piranha Plants, surrounding Lok and her Golem.

"What repulsive world be this, witch?" Lok demanded but Ashley merely snapped as her plants closed in on the two. Lok summoned a Dome like force field to protect herself as her Golem jumped towards the Plants, unleashing mighty punches and powerful water attacks on the carnivorous vegetation. The Plants were too numerous however, and the Golem was quick to sustain damage and lose its magic. "RECHARGE ME MY MASTER" The Golem called, but Lok dare not drop her force field as the plants tolls away at its line, soon it would fail.

Thinking quickly, Lok recast her forcefield, as the plants dog-piled all around her.

Ashley huffed, having defeated that hairy lunatic, only for all the plants to suddenly freeze over completely as Lok has imbued her latest shield with Cold. Lok bursted through the plants, levitating with her wind element to meet the waiting witch. "Did you Really believe that would stop ME?" Lok called in even more anger.

Ashley shrugged, "Its not like you've impressed me yet"

The Nerve of this girl's mouth, Lok thought, she must respect the chosen one! Lok created numerous balls of wind with her element and flew towards the witch, Ashley easily dodged and stopped the wind projectiles with her own Telekinesis and sending them back towards Lok. Lok in return, Selfcast shield around herself, creating a energy armor that took the wind blasts with no issue. Ashley then telekinetically flung Lok into the ground, creating a crater, but still Lok stood unfazed.

Hmmmmmm, that shield magic actually is rather impressive, but it can't protect her from everything, Ashley thought as her wand transformed.

Lok stood up as the smoke cleared when suddenly she felt a stabbing pain in her chest. "WHAT?" Lok cried going to her knees, what had happened, her shield was still up, how could she be hurt?

Ashley flew down before her, in her hands were a small doll barring resemblance to Lok, and a needle. "Seems I have finally gotten your attention, do let me know when you give up" Ashley said pricking the doll more times, each one inflicting tremendous pain as blood began to stain Lok's tunic.

How can this be? Lok thought, This doll can somehow hurt me behind a shield? Lok gripped her wounds it didn't matter how she was doing this, one thing was sure about it, whatever that Doll was, it was Death Magic.

Ashley gazed as Lok's shield suddenly turned red, becoming a Death Aura. Ashley frowned stabbing the doll more only to see Lok's wounds miraculously start healing. "W-What?" Ashley said as Lok arose, "So, you wanted to be impressed?" Lok said as she snapped her fingers.

The Earth shook as the forest was consumed in a tremendous nuclear explosion, Launching Ashley skyward, covered in scrapes and bruises. Lok used her goo element to entrap her in a bunch of sticky slime as she crashed to the ground immobilized.

"I should kill you for your crimes against me, but you are rather cute so it couldn't hurt to keep you...as a pet" Lok said as the pulled out her Serenity Prison Orb, pointing it at the immobile witch.

In a white flash, Ashley was sucked into its dimension, her Broomstick reverted back to Red due to the magic nullification as they became trapped inside...

....until. The forest shook as the entire world became light, the Orb having nullified Ashley's spell that brought them here in the first place, freeing her from the Orb as it dropped the 4 of them back in Lok's workshop.

Ashley waisted no time blasting the Orb out of Lok's hand shattering it on the floor.

Lok waisted no time charging up her recovered Golem with Plasma Magic as he rose up again.
"Eeek" Red cried in fright at the giant robot. "It'll be okay Red, I've got this" Ashley proclaimed as the room grew dark, a massive storm raged outside and the walls of the castle collapsed as Ashley's raven black hair turned a Ghostly white.

The Golem pounded the ground and a massive amount of electricity shocked the whole area through the rain, launching Ashley back, but Ashley was quick to recover as she jumped back and punched the Golem with an electric explosion powerful enough to overload and disable its battery entirely.

"Hmmmm, how curious, she can enhance her performance as well, I will have to make some of these into Elements when this is over" Lok said turning to face the now ghostly haired Witch.

Lok erupted a massive wave of lava from the ground, Ashley blocked it with telekinesis, but from the ground around her rose dozens, hundreds even, of glowing knives which surrounded Ashley and flew at her in stabbing motions. Most of them glanced off or shattered, but some managed to break the tiring witch's skin as she couldn't dodge them all.

Lok flew above Ashley and delivered a wave of poison down towards the witch, who recognizing the substance from her studies, knew to avoid at all costs. 

Lok could sense her fear of the substance and let out enormous waves of the substance as Ashley narrowly avoided it. in a pinch Ashley called upon her first spell, "Pantalones Gigantes!" 

In an instant Lok's pants grew the size of a hot air balloon and blocked the poison stream as it fell overtop of Lok and flung her to the ground. 

Ashley ran towards Lok's Position, who emerged embarrassed and poisoned from the garmets.

"Urg, you Freak what is WRONG with you? I am ending this NOW" Lok called as she launched her most dangerous element, Singularity. Ashley continued forward, when suddenly a light exploded behind her, the Light Pulled Ashley toward it, trees broke down and were crushed into powder at the massive concentrated force. Ashley was flung back towards the portal, reaching and pulling out her witch-stick. Right as she reached the singularity she cast her own most powerful spell, The Dark Zone. The area coated in Darkness as the singularity became more of a White Hole, launching Ashley away, towards Lok, much to Lok's shock.

Ashley fired a blast from her wand. Without a moment to lose Lok cast wall shield, but the Dark Zone's inversion made it appear behind Lok rather than infront, Leaving her defenceless as the beam permanently transmutated her into a spoon...

KO!

Red flew by, "You did it Ashley!"

Ashley smiled grabbing his hand, "Yeah, she was right about one thing though"

Red looked up, "Little people can do some pretty cool stuff"

Results

This is a very complex fight when looked at very closely like this. Lok’s summons and Golem are more numerous, while Ashley’s summons and plants are stronger. The two have an equal number of potential one-shot abilities, Lok’s Orb and Singularities and Ashley’s Dimensional BFR and Transmutation. And these two are largely able to tank most of the others arsenal with their own physical durability, though each are also susceptible to chip damaged overtime. With Relativistic Speed, better flight and teleportation, Ashley clearly had the mobility advantage, But Lok had a great deal of powers that could mitigate that, like sensing her, slowing time, or using goo, ice or singularity. Ashley could raise her power enough to one shot with her superform, but Lok’s shields were strong enough to hold even that back. That’s how a lot of this fight works actually, Ashley has better stats, yet Lok has better variety to counter it. Now one could argue that having superior stats is better because it requires one to think less strategically, but considering how intelligent Lok is and her great senses, it’s reasonable she could be strategic enough to counter blow for blow. The Key to this victory is in the small details. First off is probably one of the biggest advantages Ashley had, The Dark Zone. The Dark Zone’s random chaos may normally not be reliable on its own to defeat a foe, but it does do something Lok couldn’t compensate for, make her Own magic unreliable, and if Lok can’t rely on her own magic she can’t defend herself from Ashley's own arsenal and greater speed. This also uncovers a even greater advantage Ashley has, The Dark Zone is basically the effects of several different spells in Ashley’s arsenal all at once, this means Ashley is able to cast multiple spells at once, something neither Lok nor any magicka character can do. When you consider this weakness, you realize Lok going up against Ashley’s superform would not be able to hinder Ashley’s speed and defend with shields at the same time and would eventually slip up and go down. Ashley could not only dodge most of Lok’s attacks much more easily, but her own Telekinesis would let her stop all of Lok’s attacks save for the life and death beams. A great deal more of Ashley’s spells do not exist in the Magicka than Lok’s do in the Mario world as well. Also while not as smart as Lok overall, Ashley is clearly the more experienced mage who has had to struggle and experiment a lot more to get where she is, crafting herself to a finer proficiency. It is for these slight advantages that Ashley would edge out over Lok in the long run, looks like the Vanir just couldn’t handle her BeWitching Personality.

The Winner is Ashley.
