[The few attempts at freezing the chocolate that follows result in a predictable failure, despite (or perhaps because of) Gina's insistent instructions. Uncertainty will do that to you, and it's a lesson probably best learned in a situation like this rather than any other...
It's more out of instinct than thought that van Zieks darts in front of Gina to block the magical construct's advance, his ice dreamotion channeled into his blade as he draws it and slashes.
He isn't exactly fully thinking this part through, either, but maybe it won't end in disaster. Or maybe he'll just end up with his sword stuck in an upside-down mobile chocolate statue.]
