Keeping it's attention took a fair amount of focus. She couldn't cast as many spells at once while maintaining the rage she'd inspired within it since it took some concentration to keep that going. Staff spells were her only option really. Unless she decided to drop a meator on it and that, frankly, seemed just a little excessive.

Merlin taking out first one leg and then doing quite a bit of damage to the other was more than helpful. Not only did it hinder its ability yo properly charge, it also forced it into using only one front leg to swipe at her, having to balance now on the other. Her spell to raise it's anger to blinding levels prevented it from realizing just how much danger it was currently in.

"Release the sword and come take my staff! It's a frostcaller," she ordered, tossing it to the side and pulling two of the daggers at hips to start engaging the beast closer in. "Anyone can use it. Focus your thoughts on sending a blast of elemental energy through it and to the creature! Do it as many times as you must until it goes down!"

She had other weapons and he could use that one at a distance.
