Even if you're as fast as Mercer, it doesn't do much if what you're trying to avoid is going everywhere.
He changes direction at the last second to try and get out of range, but that was essentially ground zero he was standing next to; some of the Dark slams against his shoulder, and Mercer stumbles back into visibility and goes down, hard.
It lasts half a second. Coiling his legs under him, he springs back to his feet -- but it's not without a lot of extremely loud and vitrolic swearing, and he's got his left shoulder in a death grip.
