Having Dess lose a bunch of her Majiks but not remembering which ones, setting up a recurring gag of her pulling a badass move only for nothing to happen (and a quest to recover them, either for her or for Ichi), could be a fun time. Also gives her room to mentor Ichi on how she caught them the first time around. But that's fanfiction territory, I have no idea what direction this will actually go.

Xelkelvos posted:I feel like the trial is probably something specific but trivial based on how he's hiding it so strongly. If it was difficult, he's probably have no problem with revealing it. Also the World-Hater could always just bug out instead of there having to be something where Dess is defeated in some way.

Fabricated posted:Since it's the "World Hater" magic I wonder if the trial is something like "Make me feel love or happiness". From the previous Majicks, their capture requirement and their abilities don't really have much to do with each other so it can really be anything and more based on their personalities if anything. So it could be something as innocuous as "Make him smile/laugh" or "Find out where his mole is" to something more absurd like "1v1 him in a sumo match" or "Make him say his name backwards three times" Xelkelvos fucked around with this message at 18:07 on Jan 20, 2025 |

Desscaras losing a bunch of her majiks would put her on the same foot as Ichi, ie, having a bunch of overpowered abilities that are hard to use while slowly working to build up her bread-and-butter abilities, which might be fun.

Imagine if she had to go back to school along with Ichi to do so

If Desscaras was more willing to be hands on I could see the need to tune her down but from everything we have seen she is quite willing to let Ichi run wild with her being there to make sure nothing goes wrong. Long term yes there would be a reason to shake things up but at the start of the manga not so much.

Desscaras being depowered would not be fun IMO. Her power is the key to her being everyone's favorite uber-talented badass. Having Kumugi being the weaker but knowledgeable witch learning along with Ichi is enough.
|
|
|

Alternatively, have her depowered, but have it not faze her cause she's really good at catching Magiks in her own unique way, (I mean, she managed to catch a fuckton so I assume she can do it again) so she and Ichi have to compete now and we can see how Ichi's hunting compares to Descarres's style of catching.

desscaras doesn't really care if ichi fails a hunt or gets beaten up. she only stepped in once poo poo got real.

Also powerful as she is, she may not be equipped to best the Trails of Magicks they face.

I mean objectively she's the best witch at Trials considering her giant collection.

She's really powerful in that "when all you have is a hammer" way. Her magical combat is great but more narrowly refined than Ichi's way of adapting to what he's hunting. Rather than depower her, she'll probably have to learn to cooperate with him and not just treat him as a subordinate and if this majik isn't an end boss type, that might tie into its trial.

I mean, she presumably had to have been skilled in a way beyond that to acquire so many magiks in the first place. It's not like she started out with all these powerful magiks (and most presumably can't be captured with direct combat).

Tbh I think Ichi just got lucky with this that the magik in question happens to share his exact idea of what would be beautiful Ytlaya fucked around with this message at 16:47 on Jan 25, 2025 |

Desscaras would beat her down, use her truth telling majik to force Hisame to tell her what she wants to see in the fashion contest and do that. Forced truth-telling is pretty OP power in this world, tbh.

Lt. Lizard posted:Desscaras would beat her down, use her truth telling majik to force Hisame to tell her what she wants to see in the fashion contest and do that. There might be limitations to it, though. Like, it can tell you the exact terms of the trial, but maybe not subjective truth about non-physical trials. So since Hisame was so straightforward as to say "make me beautiful", it might not've gotten anything more than that. Otherwise, you're right and might be too powerful of a thing to introduce this early.

There might also be a thing where revealing or hiding the trial affects how much power can be brought to bear. Magic can be weird like that if the author wants it to be.

Incredibly glad that instead of the Musing in this thread she just beat his rear end so hard she bought the time for the evacuation and killed him so much he decided to give up and leave. Desscaras ftw.

I mean, to be fair that really did look like a death flag

I liked the panel sequence where it was a few tight shots and then they panned out to reveal Warp was talking out of his disembodied head.

This Magic Circle beat is going to set up for a hell of a Dess arc where she is knocked out and has to deal with all the Majik's she's captured in whatever her inner circle is.

Everyone will complain about her just generally being the worst (best), just the loving worst (still best). Also probably about being bored as poo poo since if you have Dio bread numbers of little guys in you how many of them really get to see action?

Presumably all Witches are aware of it and have some way of handling it. Dess presumably just lords over hers by force give that it's her inner realm.

I'm kind of imagining all the majiks in Desscaras' inner realm lovebombing her, which doesn't really make sense but would be a funny way of explaining why she's Like That.

I wonder if Dess already knew about this part of the prophecy, and had already come to terms with it as part of her attempt to acquire Uroro.
