The eyes turn to meet magic thrown at them, even after a stride

Springing the Trap never showed its fireball: Rival stepped into the
watched corridor facing the way he walked, and the ambush's fireball
flew in from the mouth behind him while only the caption told of it.
The director now aims at incoming magic and punches — the caster's or
attacker's square, straight or through a mouth — and a stride that
ends with something to watch turns once more after the walk, the
slate holding the outcome until the eyes face it. The fireball comes
through the wormhole at the camera, then the blow lands.

The trap's first beat re-blessed for it.
