[It's a start, and it helps keep the trap up for a few moments longer than it would have.]
[Even so, it's not enough time for Snatcher to funnel more magic into it as fortification. One of the Ayakashi's many legs slams into the already weakened spot of the barrier, flying right by Snatcher's head, and busts through, the limb wiggling about and widening the hole until the whole thing comes crashing down around them.]
[Snatcher glares at it, somehow managing to keep all the curses he wants to sling its way safely tucked inside his head as he backs up to put some space between him and it. It's powerful. And dangerous. And treats his magic like something slightly thicker than tissue paper.]
[This sucks.]
[He tries to pursue, to at least slow its escape, but one of those long, powerful tentacles comes flying his way, forcing him to dodge back]
