C'mon, Miki, a spellslicer isn't the end of the world. Just gotta be a little more creative against it.

In case you forgot, a spellslicer cuts and disrupts khert-lines. So if you lob a spell at someone wielding one, they're gonna truncate the path it's taking and it won't hit 'em. It's also a sword. Miki knows the dangers of swords.

We're coming up on one week left of the Kickstarter! Also... today is my birthday! If you love me, spread the link around this weekend, pimp the comic to your friends. It'd be cool to get the prose zine printed :)

You know something else about spell slicers? They make you lazy and overconfident... 😈 Timefor Miki to use some real guile here. I know Lem taught her how to fight dirty! Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday! I’m suddenly unsure if this battle will be a win or loss for Mikaila. If she wins, then the new church might not be built, which could circumvent much of the plot. If she loses, she has a need to redeem herself— but the same would be true if her identity is unmasked here. Hm…..

Ashley

All I can say is this duel is setting up the rest of her life. It's pretty important.

Khyrberos

what the heck, seriously

Khyrberos

win or lose, the church is being constructed; remember, the duel was only to determine whether plods could be used in its construction.

Happy birthday! Flashback time baybeeeee

Love how the dais frames Goodwin in the 3rd panel there. Beautiful shot with the cape and dust, and just a little reminder it's still going around :) Happy birthday!!

Flyfly

Happy birthday! I wish a pie of your choice to reach you. I have a spellslicer question. The way I see it, catching a spell with a spellslicer blade isn't particularly easier compared to just catching it the regular way, and doing it the regular way gives you more options like redirecting. And so, I assumed it was more of a tool for non-wrights to be able to go toe-to-toe with wrights. Clearly I am wrong, but now I am curious: what is their benefit to a wright? Is it so you are free to parry pymary and cast offensively at the same time?

Lulululu

A spellslicer not only disrupts any spells that it hits but also severs the khert strands upon which a spell travels. Blocking a spell this way is presumably a lot less dependent on perfect timing than trying to catch the spell, since you can disrupt the spell's path before it actually gets there.

Duke BG

Cannot wait for more flashback panels on Monday.

Ashley

Pretty much what Lulululu said, Flyfly. You don't have to be able to sense the spell or scrye the line to cut it. You can whirlwind the blade around you all moronic Link-style and sever all the lines, very little skill required. If you keep the blade in motion, you're pretty much unhittable by free-floating lines; the wright has to come at you from a line you can't reach with the edge, like one embedded in the ground or a wall. Catching a spell is MUCH MUCH harder, but can be more rewarding. You have to time a verbal cue with the meeting of your port with the incoming uninstantiated Aspect. Do this perfectly, and you bounce the spell right back at the caster. Of course they can catch it too, but ideally you're surprising them.

Ashley

Thank you! I gotta keep that dais conspicuous in the background for Reasons ;)

Ashley

I cannot help but read this as sarcasm :3

Duke BG

Sorry, bad phrasing on my part. I genuinely think I will enjoy flashback a bit more because there would be fewer red assholes in it.

Michael Stakely

Using a spell slicer in a duel like this is poor form but a PLAT using a spell slicer in a duel is just sad. What would Duane's lads say? Happy Birthday!

Flyfly

I see. Interesting, thank you!

astine

It's your birthday? How could you exhibit such dishonour?

Karvil

Happy Birthday! Hope it was better than Miki's was!

Romv

I know I'm late, but Happy Birthday! I hope you indulge on many a pie :)
