I’m giving Spookus a new go-to move when in battle.

Basically he creates ellipses that act like portals using his fingertips.
often times the are utilized against projectiles, such as beams, bullets, arrows, spears, etc. this is all made possible by a second pocket dimension He created when he first learned how to use magic, everything but him can enter it.

These portals have the ability to catch things that are in motion, once the portal is closed the projectile or object that was caught will keep all of its speed and momentum until spookus lets it out.
So he can basically Catch a bullet one day, and then release it at another guy the next.
