When you try to look at the figure before you, you are forced to squint and hold your hand in front of your face. The experience is similar to attempting to look through a keyhole at the sun as it sets, but so rapidly that it rises again before you can blink, and sets again, and so on. Through the flickering you occasionally discern details that make the figure appear vaguely human.
During one of the more calm spells, you quickly take in the general appearance of the figure. Most definitely male, he seems to be of an average height for a human male. His face is clean-shaven, and his attire is clean but unimpressive. reminding you of a tax collector or some sort of banker.
Dark-rimmed spectacles frame a thin but healthy face, and short brown hair matches the color of his eyes.
In all, you'd be ready to discount this being as insignificant. Until you notice a palpable feeling of Magic in the air around you.
The light flashes again and you are once more unable to discern details. Curiously, you do see what appears to be a canine figure by the human's side.
