Torene and Makoru were too far apart for her shield to extend around her mate, but she had been anticipating a need to protect him. She sidestepped quickly interposing herself between Makoru and the blast of lightning. It didn't quite deflect it entirely but the lightning was deflected as a beam of light is reflected by a mirror. The shield absorbed more power and the lighting only knocked Makoru off his feet and singed him.

"Stay behind me!" screamed Torene. She turned her full attention back to the lich. "When his shield is down, then you can kill him!"

(Torene is taking care of drawing off the power--the child is focusing it, feeding it back into the shield and the power of Torene's spell.)
