Curufin is perfectly fine with being Taako's backup. That's not usually his style, but he's willing to take that role in order to learn something new, or in order to let somebody else shine for a while.

He snickers again to see the Null tearing their own comrades apart.

"I'd do it if I had that kind of magic. My power is mostly translated through my blade." He draws the said blade and lifts it high. It suddenly crackles with blue-white light, like lightening or St. Elmo's Fire. "This fire of the spirit enhances the force of my blows, but I can't generally use it at a distance."

And he admires the Magic Missile bullets as they smack into the few, stupid Null who approach.
