> Conjure a large square metal sheet, several yards across in each direction, about a foot above the hole in the branches Tojiko made, to act as a shield for the hole against the petals. Let's see how well this holds up against the petals compared to the umbrellas.

>You do so, and it holds up nice against the petals, cutting off the rain entirely. It also press down against the branches, bending many of them and making its position rather precarious, as it seems likely to slide off soonish.
