Merlin let go of the sword and raced to her side, grabbing the staff. He concentrated and energy seemed to pulse as he did so, flowing into the creature as he hung on to the staff. He concentrated and felt the cold elements at a distance, having never used cold magic and studied it as he tried to send blast after blast of elemental energy into the beast. He was really hoping that this worked as he waited to see what his companion would do.

Frost power felt different from air and water, which was all he had really used before, and not really used so much as just let happen. Firepower also just happened, but less often. "This is amazing! I've never felt anything like this!" It felt like what he had always imagined the Sidhe staff to be. He had heard about that staff, but never seen it, and this staff felt magical, and he wondered now if that would be similar.
