Maelstrom thought he was out of sight of the entire field - certainly not visible to the mages from their relatively safe position. So when a third shows up and actually locates him, much closer to the main field of battle from where Lucas inscribed his circle - and then has the audacity to actually wound him with one of those bolts, he quickly shields himself with every defensive effect he knows, wind and radiating lightning and fog - and flees into the safety of the statue.
It doesn't stop the storm - he can cause it to happen whether he can see it or not, but it will make it easier to fight, now that Maelstrom is limited to just trying to increase its power in general, and less capable of precise, directed effects.
