Lutine "Louie" Bell IV, Summoner of Sprouts, Wooer of Women, and All-Around Swell Guy

With his fruity missiles en-route to their floating target, the marvelous wizard Louie decided that he should shore up his own defenses. With a swish of his wand and some complicated hand gestures, he cast another spell, this time saying,

When it comes to life I'm a bit of a rambler
When it comes to magic I'm a bit of gambler
You need to know when to hold 'em
And know when to mold 'em
(The Magical powers that is)
I need a shield leafy and tall
Able to withstand fire and squall
To keep other spells out of my biz!

LUTINE BELL IV cast HEDGING YOUR BETS on the area surrounding himself!

Once the incantation was complete, Lutine Bell IV jabbed the base of the Staff of Whims into the ground and, as if by magic, actually, by magic, a dizzying network of towering hedge walls burst from the ground, forming a labyrinth of neatly-trimmed passages that obscured the wizard from sight and, he hoped, would make any counterattack by his magical opponent or assault by the minions of darkness considerably more difficult. Satisfied with his defenses, the mighty wizard leaned his staff against one leafy wall and lit up his pipe. "Man, am I good," he said contentedly.
