[Viral's shout would have been enough to catch Grune in time--she was still far enough from completion that she could have dispersed the energy of her spell without harm.
Of course, being tackled to the ground is certainly another way to stop her from casting.
Even landing atop Viral instead of the hard floor of the lakehouse, Grune lets out a soft, gasped, "Oh!" For only a moment, she lies where she is, disoriented and shaken.
She doesn't understand. She had chosen that spell because she had thought it would stop Sabriel from being badly hurt, and yet instead...it had hurt her so much. It had stopped her--but it had caused her great pain.
There's no time to wonder why, though. When Mars goes to Sabriel's side, Grune rolls off Viral. She then kneels down next to him and holds her hands above him, entirely disregarding the blood that now stains her dress and smears her skin. Her hands soon glow with a far gentler light as she calls upon Nala's magic to heal him. Though she cast only two spells during the fight, she doesn't think she'll be able to cure him all the way, or even most of the way. Healing is relatively new to her; it burns her energy far, far more quickly than her battle eres.]
