AND THE FIRST REAL FIGHT SCENE OF THE STORY

Yes.

Now this is EXTREMELY important to me, people--I've got to know what you guys think of the fight scene. Is it too wordy for a battle between magic-casters? If so, how exactly could I change it without messing up the fluidity of the scenes?

AND HOW EASY WAS IT TO NOTICE NEAR THE END THAT THE MAIN DUDE'S NAME STILL HASN'T BEEN REVEALED? |D

No seriously people. I need to know about any possible flaws I've made here. I NEED TO KNOW FOR YOUR SAKES SO I DON'T END UP BORING YOU TO DEATH IN THE FUTURE CHAPTERS. XD

But I wouldn't mind if you gave a compliment or two to go with the flaws you point out.

Just saying.

EDIT 1

Fixed a couple of misspellings, including changing "iris" to "irides" in the first part. Fixed the HTML.
