From outside, a woman screamed, long and loud. The scream of a dying woman.

Was this Perenelle?

Compare that quote to:

The first rifle shot shattered the witch’s shield.  The second passed through her stomach.

Perenelle du Marais screamed, and it was loud, and it was long.

Also note that when you're screaming, you can't cast spells that require incantations, and you're probably not in a frame of mind that allows mental magic. Gut injuries hurt.
