Yep, the ability to use magic was what caused the transformation. So people who were physically transformed were unable to use their magic that they would have had if fire had properly released his magic and it naturally flowed back into the world. So now, Kate’s going to learn a method she can use, to learn magic! Let’s hope it doesn’t involve a demon pact.
Do they plan to do this while setting up pathfinder?
Pathfinder IS the alternate source of magic, of course. Everyone knows this.
Umm… In the last panel, did you mean “than that?”
Nope. “That this” (unless they’re referring to a book which is NOT THE ONE HE IS HOLDING) , if at all.
He’s holding the translation book. They are talking about the magic book – the one with the gray binding.
pretty much “[i]which[/i] that book covers”…
Standard html code: Y U NO WORK?!
Because you need to use the arrow ones?
That’s BBCode, not HTML.
That that does seem to be correct actually. It is something that people say even if it is a bit weird to read. He mentions he’s looking over the translation book now, but the actual book that has the methods of learning is the black book with metal tips on the corners.
That that is correct. The first “that” refers to the subject matter covered by the book, while the second “that” refers to the book itself.
Oh ho? Normally I’d be wary of a demon lord saying “I can show you another way to obtain the power you want,” but this one’s pretty cool. Color me intrigued.
Lets say aqua marine to be safe
Works for me. Aqua marine’s a pretty cool color.
Octarine, the colour of magic.
What could this other way be? maybe trade Jello for borrowing his powers? XD
but at least this answers some questions.
Um. No matter how benign Penpen may claim to be, I keep thinking: “Uh-oh. A DEMON is offering an alternate access to magic. RUN AWAY!”
no, kate, don’t do it, you wouldn’t fit as a nephilim! x3
Darnit Pingu, i grew up with you. i trusted you! and this is how you repay me!?
Nephilim?
Having a demon pact isn’t that bad… If you are a better rules lawyer. Well, Pen Pen is a good example of more or less benevolent demon to get a pact with, the guy could have easily gotten your soul waaaay back then when you were thinking you were drunk and/or asleep, he was nearby for years!
That said, one of more obvious methods is a sort of an advanced prosthetic/symbiote. Something or someone that can use magic, and that you can control instinctively.
Buuut. I doubt the book describes this particular method.
Magic is a whim. Kate’s real powers are in controlling the null.
Controlling Phil’s 2.139 second attention span? That’s a whole new level altogether :3
Is the answer something tantric/vampiric/necromantic? Taking energy from others to empower yourself? I don’t know if the dark side will be able to handle Kate…
*chants* DEMON PACT! DEMON PACT!
Ditto. When’s a daemon pact ever gone wrong?
I’m guessing that this method involves directly controlling magic instead absorbing then using it? That would seem to be the obvious loophole in the `can’t naturally absorb magic` problem, explaining why it works differently. Just me enjoying a bit of guesswork.
Magic power suit! Okay, more likely a magic wand or something.
I would guess you are pretty close. My thoughts are that since she cannot store magical energy in her body; she needs to learn how to construct objects to store magical energy and then how to energize and use them. Just like your magical power suit or wand.
The magic book belonged to Penpen way back when, didn’t it?
