... Until another one of those ropes is flung down, attempting to attach itself to Wrath. The last time she'd uttered a spell of this nature, it'd burned her lips. She feels nothing now as her hand extends, an invisible claw tearing the cord and leaving it ribbons.

The good thing is warmth does, indeed, draw the attention of the Motherless. The bad news is the swarm now comes for her instead.
