[A cunning strategy, and it's clear that Izunia is not expecting the second - though this time it largely grazes his shoulder, most of the snow bouncing off in a spray, it decidedly does still hit.
Jake isn't the only one steadily taking this more seriously. There's the faintest flick of magic as Izunia changes the weapon he has set to hand - unlike Regis, he can't conjure shields of pure magic, so keeping the oversized literal one in the 'forefront' of his Armiger is his best defense. As such, Jake will see the faint outline of the shield flicker and then immediately vanish at his shoulder.
He doesn't conjure it yet, though, instead opting for another warp, with a snowball that he throws and catches at the other end in an attempt to get a better angle before immediately flinging it at Jake's head.]
