    So the immortals might decide to go back to being demigods, with the implication that mortals might be very disposable to them.

    Mr. Verres has already said that a powerful wizard could beat an "Immortal" in a fair fight on the mortal plane; I wonder how hard it is to trap one of them on the mortal plane or into a fair fight.  I also wonder if the original purpose of Nanase's family was not as "Monster" hunters, but as "Immortal" hunters.

    Look, it's really simple. Pandora will just wear a t-shirt with the text "Everyday Student" written on it and no-one will pay any attention to her after that. :danshiftyeyes:

    I don't think Mr. Shive has ever shot down the fan belief that Mr. Verres had some kind of spell to make those work, so they might have to go through him -- on th other hand, if Tedd asks nicely for a t-shirt for his great godmother...

    If the Dragon should sneeze, it would incinerate everything in a one mile radius.  It doesn't need a lot of other spells.

    At a minimum, a temporary dragon morph to be in the right form to use its incinerator sneeze spell.

    Being even genuinely comfortable with her role after getting used to it for over a year isn't really proof that she started out comfortable with it, especially when her template/brother has been shown to get used to things he clearly started out uncomfortable with.

    My understanding is that the Chinese words for "dragon" and "dinosaur" are the same, due to large dinosaur bones having always been called dragon bones there.

    Either Pandora can travel between worlds, or there were dragons (or something that looks like a dragon and can shoot fire) back in Blaike's day.

    Just because something seems to exist around an immortal doesn't necessarily mean it is "real". Arthur has already mentioned one way (summons) that an immortal could empower a human to temporarily produce something that doesn't really exist in our world. That doesn't rule out the alternate world idea, of course.

    ...and I'm going to assume it's a sucker bet that any spells Ashley gets will be transformation-related.

    If she wasn't any sort of magic user before, she's probably a long way from getting spells of her own. What she needs is to see at least one low-power spell a few times to use her wizards ability to learn other people's spells. Once she knows one, she can start practicing it.

    Ellen's "blonder" beam (http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/2017-07-23-ellen-demo-15) should be a low-power transformation that Ashley would like.

    As Sarah has already demonstrated, having (technically) some magical affinity doesn't necessarily mean having the power to use it without some sort of extra energy (such as the Moperville Clog). "Wizard too weak to actually use the spells they learn" may be a common situation.

    Surprisingly, eepeople are more tolerant to other people dressed in swimwear (at least near water), despite swimwear often covering just as little as underwear

    Even a tiny, sheer, and close-fitting swimsuit can be thought of as "trying" to wear clothes. It's easier to make excuses that they are dressed than to outright admit people are effectively swimming in the nude.

    How about a rigid traditionalist government where you can aspire to any position you have the talent for -- but then you get made over to fit whatever pigionhole you're in. The president might have been a woman...until the mandatory change after inauguration.

    I think Elliot's fine unless magus pushes the issue.

    Better still is something that builds down the confrontation.  "It's ellen's choice..  You'd want that choice in her place.  You wouldn't want even the right thing done TO you without your consent or control."

    I'm beginning to wonder just how much choice ur-ellen was given, most likely being hurried into "doing the right thing" with no consideration for how painful she would find it in the long run.

    If the ur-ellen would give them a chance, Tedd/Tess could give Ellen her own gender-change wand, making it clear that she could switch any time she really wanted to. Getting ur-ellen to understand that could be all kinds of difficult, though.

    Could ur-ellen actually be really missing her feminine side, resulting in feeling envy and resentment for the double of herself that got to keep hers?

    The attempts by ye olde immortal pair of Pandora and/vs. Colonel Sanders to set Magus up to fight for their amusement may yet pay off. The impositions that Ellen and Elliott would probably have volunteered to endure are a lot more offensive when there is no way to ask politely ahead of time.

    It isn't because the Gryphons' home is in the main universe, just the other side of it.

    I wouldn't count on anyone else except another esoteric scholar gryphon being precise about the distinction between a different dimensional plane and a different side of the same one.

    A new question: We know that an Uryuom "egg" with no Uryuom DNA produces a Roaisol Seyunolu, one Uryuom DNA and one Non-Uryuom DNA source produces a Tolougal Seyunolu, and two different Uryuom DNA sources produces an Uryuom, but the number of DNA sources can be more than two (Grace having four sources). What results with two Uryuoms and one Non-Uryuom DNA source? Is the rule "more than one Uryuom always breeds true?" That would sure be handy for adapting second-generation Uryuom settlers to a new planet by producing true Uryuoms with extra, localised DNA.

    Perhaps have each player get their choice of any cards they played which are still active, to use until those cards automatically cancel and return to the box at dawn? The winner would have the most cards to choose from by the way the score is determined (counting double cards twice, etc.)

    Does raise the question,  why didn't some one break it before.

    I can just see Abraham hitting it with a crystal-shattering spell, but it doesn't work on a crystal-over-wood construct. Next, he uses a fire hot enough to burn diamond (the only flammable precious gem) but the actual crystal is not diamond and not flammable and protects the wood core...
