"The blades described circles and arcs and angles, creating a myriad of fantastic tableaus that existed in the air over the platform, springing into being one instant, only to be replaced the next instant with another succession of whirls and lines. Here was the perfect, steel-colored circle of a many-spoked wheel throwing off a dazzle of light. Here was the abrupt unfolding of a lady's fan, opening with a clatter and formed of light and air and iron death. And there was a strange flower grown of loops and whorls and deadly clashing petals."
— Christopher Bunn (The Shadow at the Gate (The Tormay Trilogy, #2))

A/N
Just btw, this is a sword fight in the book. But it's a cool bit of descriptive writing so I included it.
