Memorizing monster abilities like it’s some kind of strategy game… Oh.

I think there’s a couple of mistakes in speech bubble of the third panel: it should probably be ‘he possesses’ and ‘multicasting’ instead of ‘he possess’ and ‘multi casting’.
Thanks! Yeah I had to make some last minute changes to the dialogue to make the original wording clearer and I princessesessessess’d it. Where you see a word and think “That has too many es’ to be correct”. My editor approved the previous version but went to bed before i made the changes and yep- that’s how mistakes get through! Making changes and not getting them approved. The Multicasting though is an interesting one because technically I could have just used a hyphen – however in comics you are always supposed to avoid using hyphens to carry over words from the previous line. I think it’s a clarity thing for comic reading vs just reading text on a page.
Kaylin should have a built-in excuse anyway. “How did I know all that? Adventurer!”
While i agree with you on the Adventurer point, i think Nyna deserves a bit more answer.
Reminds me how, in one of the first chapters Kaylin would be like “if I said it’s because I’m an elf, would you believe me?”
Hmm, swarms of Magic Missile casts would also be a good choice for spamming low-level spells at low-level enemies – low but guaranteed damage, and can distribute the damage reliably between multiple targets.
