[Not only is he big and strong, in that instant he is fast. When the way is cleared for him, the charged aura of his mana rewrites the laws of nature to the word that Potemkin is moving in one direction and one direction only, and it's not to the ground. It shoots him forward like a cannonball, clearing the floor of the lab at a neckbreaking rate, straight toward the Mistress. Irisviel's barrier appears a moment later, flashing on top of him, and an orange passenger after that.
The latter is not planned for, and Potemkin's face becomes marked with anguish, but it's too late to change his mind. When the Mistress sees what's coming at her, she has the time to lob a vial or two of some magical concoction, but it breaks against the barrier as planned.
The liquid contents spill on the floor and create limp versions of the intended magical effect (apparently air and darkness) as they dissipate into the air. Rather than fully disappearing though, the eddy just seems to be getting stronger and stronger at the back of the room where Serpico and company are.]
