Rip Rop Wrappety Do
You're fighting your 131st battle on the way from one end of the ship to the next when the air in front of you ripples and freezes. Your enemy tries to attack you, but bounces off some unseen obstacle.
You wave your weapon in front of you and encounter some invisible field protecting you . . . or protecting your enemy, you're not sure which. You get your answer when the enemy is attacked and dragged backwards by the same unseen force. Or at least a very similar unseen force. He flies over the side of the airship and vanishes.
You hear a crinkling, rustling sound rush past your ear. It almost sounds like "Take this, adventurer, it shall prove useful in your quest." Then the boundary is gone and all has returned to normal.
Relatively speaking.
