See, I'm not gonna protect him from everything—[ That's kind of impossible here, he thinks. He won't say he's well-versed in magic but sometimes he thinks he can sense what limitations there are, especially because he's not an experienced wizard. ]—but I want it to protect him from something that woulda been lethal, so that the situation you just told me 'bout won't repeat, hopefully. [ Where recovering from bodily trauma that extreme seems to drain Mika and triggers the hunger frenzy. ] And it protectin' him from stuff that'd kill him would...well, also be good, obviously.

[ "Obviously" like he isn't kind of aware that Mika is not fond of his undead existence, but. You know. ]
