No, nope, nuh-uh. The part of Sven that is El'Nil'm's power recoils in alarm and he snaps his gaze up at Xander, shaking his head. Xander only means well, but Sven struggles to get his head around how that kind of idea made it past the magic-caster's filter in the first place. He rises to his feet, walking over to Ifrit and putting his hand on her shoulder.
"Nobody is putting a shield around you." He looks back at Xander and Nita. He's not angry but his words are firm and authoritative. "Xander...you can't just lock a magic-user in with their power. If magic's bursting to get out, you let it. You can't just block it up, even if it's happening when it's not supposed to. That's far too dangerous, we can't know what stress we'd be putting Ifrit's body and mind under."
Before trying to "fix" Ifrit, they already have a task ahead of them and the night's dragging on.
"We focus on fireproofing Ifrit's room for tonight. We can always work on the rest of the sleeper tomorrow if we need to, but it's late now and we need to make sure Ifrit and her roommates can sleep safely. Nita, how does this network thing of yours work?"
