No, but Arthur must have done some experimentation with his "quirk", even if it wasn't exactly the same way Tedd did, the results may have been similar. Hence the "it's possible Tedd reminded him his attempts at research despite him never getting anywhere with that research". Or in other words, not every experimentation is research ; for example, when Sarah was trying to find out what her spell is, it was experimentation, but she didn't get anywhere. Her later experimentation with her spell were also more for fun than for research ; and she got distracted in big way when she was supposed to focus on showing her spell to Tedd, and then didn't reported what she was doing truthfully ... luckily it didn't matter. (If it doesn't make sense I'll try again after sleeping ...)

But Arthur, as a Seer, is a "well of power". So while that ring may be a very small catalyst, Arthur should be able to use it anywhere, while other wizards might only be able to use it in high ambient energy areas or drain their own energy reserves. Dan tweeted as such: So maybe Arthur's "wizard with a quirk" was refering to the fact that he also figured out how to make catalysts that let him cast spells, but they either only worked for him or they ended up having very limited use by other wizards. Yes, I was copying what I wrote on tumblr before someone reminded seers being a well of power here. So I am aware that Arthur is able to do that. The question why he is using the ring instead of wand still remains ; even with plenty of power to spare, wouldn't wand be easier? Note his "Wizard with a quirk" is probably "Wizard except not being able to cast the spells directly and needing to put them to wand instead". This is obviously speculation, but Arthur doesn't look like researcher to me, AND his evaluation of Tedd was missing the option of him doing it; he basically said Tedd is the best researcher available, although it's just best from the three seers he knows of. Of course, it's possible Tedd reminded him his attempts at research despite him never getting anywhere with that research ; while Tedd found out how to make watches by himself, I think Arthur learned how to make wands by someone telling him how to do it or possibly reading about it. (Or by watching someone making wand, that would presumably also work.)

I'm comparing to NP, so out of canon as well. And Dan himself is calling it "Rhoda height and figure" ... Yes, but proportionally, so it shouldn't make her sexier.

Even if same rules would be in effect (which may not be true), their resistance would be higher due to higher exposure. Still, higher than ELLEN? I agree in general but regarding the specific case of Mr. Raven, I think the reason Abraham was unconvinced he can put him to sleep was related to his age and experience, not species. Note he said "The elf", not just elf. That's a great observation, thank you for sharing it! ... I though the ring being wand was given. Wasn't I talking about it being small wand? Oh, wait, that was on tumblr, seems I forgot to copy it here ... https://honza137.tumblr.com/post/174105734843/egscomics-door-time-story-swings-and-misses ... weird. I though the think expands tumblr. Or was it just twitter? Well ok: Considering Arthur as a seer doesn’t have any spells, he must be casting that AoE sleep from spell catalyst … and only thing visible which could be spell catalyst is his ring. So, quite small spell catalyst. Must be hard to cast from that … (I must admit I didn't remembered if he was wearing it before, though ... so, thanks for additional argument.) About as long as it will take him to check out the hidden cameras they will unquestionably have in a place like that. He may have seemed hair trigger but this had morphed from routine to major emergency; taking out everybody in sight by putting them to sleep and sorting them out later was actually by far not his worst possible move. 1) I think the cameras don't even need to be hidden. Although maybe they are to make the warehouse look even more abandoned. 2) If he was paying attention when reading their files, he may not even need to wait that long. As I already speculated. Although considering the situation, he's likely to look at the cameras anyway. Only problem is it would be too late to catch Magus, but I suspect it would be too late if they told him as well. The reason I suggested hiding in her clothes was that women generally complain their clothes lack pockets, they don't LOOK as having pockets and Kevin is pretty long for normal pockets anyway. He WOULD however fit into sleeve or just under jacket. He might claim to, but would they believe him? Hmmm ... even if Kevin wouldn't specifically talk about Ashley being wizard, almost anything he can say is likely to prompt scanning Ashley. Not speaking about the possibility they will scan all of them as part of verifying what happened. Which means I'm wondering more about if WE will find out the result than if they do it.

Maybe she just wants to look as herself ... until the final frame. In final frame, she is thinking it may be worth it. (Nanase is plenty of sexy in her own form. I agree that she looks sexy with "Rhoda" figure, but not that much more it would be worth not being herself.) (... also, is that really Rhoda figure? I don't think Rhoda is this sexy. Although maybe it's just the clothes. Because looking here, she's not so sexy after reset but before reset ... and pet kitty might not modify figure ... maybe ...)

... stopped being mini. Almost turned to coat. Nah, it's little higher, look at the background.

... that would be better, yes. Although I'm not sure if I notice where it's heading in advance. (It's obvious from hindsight ...) Also, I should really go to sleep already.

Yes, it is based on the assumption that your fantasies are superior to everybody else's. There was a reason I used the word 'playpen.' Your arguments belong there. This is what I refuse to do. I refuse to stop posting my "fantasies" just because whenever I do, you will accuse me of making them superior to others. You don't need to agree with them. If you make some argument I overlook, I may even change mind - or, if not that convincing, at least tone it down. I'm not likely to change mind if you ridicule it, in fact, I'm probably going to harden. With the "real dragon", you convinced me I said it incorrectly. Not this time. In fact, I'm second-guessing if it really was incorrect that time or if you were only one who understood it incorrectly. If you really want to teach me how to post speculations correctly, do it differently, this is not working. Not fair using words I don't know.

And I still refuse to submit to yours. You responded to my statement that I could perfectly understand why Ellen would want to hit Magus with a playpen-esque claim of "BUT MAGUS FLATTEN ELLEN WITHOUT TROUBLE NAAA NAAA MY DADDY CAN BEAT YOURS". If you don't like me giving you shit back, DON'T GIVE ME SHIT TO START WITH. In that case, Magus had good idea to not getting near her. Because I suspect if she would started with that, Magus would do something he would then regret and feel need to atone for. ... wait. Maybe not. Maybe he would be able to cast the "calm" spell quickly. Which might actually help Ellen in sorting out the emotions. And in not attacking person who have worse angry issues than her AND is actually trained to use magic in fight. You know, that "suspect" and "maybe" was there for a reason. But if you don't see the difference between that and "BUT MAGUS FLATTEN ELLEN WITHOUT TROUBLE NAAA NAAA MY DADDY CAN BEAT YOURS" ... Also, Ellen is even better example of being self-taught than Nanase, AND she doesn't even have hereditary talent, although being created by magic may supply one. Sure, my comparison of their power is speculation, but it is based on something. Magus doesn't need to be that powerful to flatten Ellen because Ellen is not that great. (Despite looking half-dragon for a moment and me liking dragons.)

Before he knew Seers were a thing, he thought he was a "wizard with a quirk". I think it's safe to say that he long ago decked himself out in all sorts of wand-like devices to enable him to cast an arsenal of spells. I don't think what Arthur can do is of any meaningful use in assessing what Magus might be able to do. Arthur is a seer. One established trait of seers is that they have enormous amounts of magic energy that they can put into the spells they cast (via wands), to the point that it had Pandora going on about Tedd having the power to bend worlds - plural - to his will. A seer being able to overwhelm someone's magic resistance doesn't really say anything about how anyone other than a seer might do. Good point. If Arthur is using that "power to bend worlds" here he would be definitely more powerful than Magus ... also, it might explain why is Terra usually beating Magus. Assuming she's also seer of course. ... unlike just age, which may not prove that much, giving that Magus can easily have better training. Yes, after junior high BATTLE MAGIC school. Or not, of course ... we don't know much about what training Arthur got. It was just speculation that he was jealous of Edward and Noriko being trained by Adrian. Unlike liberal art schools in our universe, battle magic school is teaching something which can be measured and I'm sure they wouldn't bother with school which is worse than being self-taught. So, Magus's claim of being better than Nanase is believable and he may even be better than older magic users with worse training in EGS universe. Hawk to mice, as Pandora said, comparing Magus to Edward and agent Wolf ... You really like to accuse me of stuff like this. However, I refuse to submit to your trick and I repeat that it's obvious he doesn't need to be demigod. Nor the seers are demigods - at least, they were not described that way, although you can say that any son of Zeus (formerly known as Jerry) could claim the title of demigod ...

And is beefy Nanase Susan's height? What's NORMAL Nanase height again? ... and the hair is even longer. Still not the longest Nanase had, so ... At this point, I would wonder if Rhoda is just playing or if she really forgot how Nanase looks. Although they DO visit same school ...

And surprising, considering he's both not field operative AND seer (therefore not having own spells). I suppose he used that ring to cast it. And yes, he managed to put Elliot and Ellen into sleep. Who were predicting Magus wouldn't be able to use his calm spell on Ellen? At this point, I would consider canon that Magus doesn't need to be an unbeatable demigod to flatten Ellen. Wait ... what was Ellen going to say? Elliot was going to say it's Arthur, he knows him from TV, but what Ellen? Magic resistance could render Sleep spells ineffective. I though Ellen has quite high magic resistance. Maybe they COULD put even Magus into sleep if he wouldn't be out of range already. Of course, no surprise Ashley is sleeping again. She will have problems sleeping in night after sleeping so much over the day ... I don't think they would be suspect. They have detailed files on them AND they didn't even raised the alarm obviously. He doesn't need them awake for that. "Is that Elliot? And Ellen. Of course. Where is the dewitchery diamond? Right. Quick, there must be another copy of those two getting away!" I wonder if THEY ever find out. It's also possible that will be information just for us (and Arthur). I wonder if the real reason he entered casting sleep wasn't exactly to disable any human present so they can safely start shooting anything which is still standing. Still wonder how will Kevin manage to stay with Ashley. Not saying anything might be big part of that. That and quickly hiding inside her clothes, they may forgot to search her.

He is definitely Snoke. He has all these involved plans and they keep going exactly wrong. Palpatine's plans worked. At least until that goldarn Jedi returned. Voltaire assumed the total number of seers is close to total number of eligible seers. He was wrong by three orders of magnitude. Palpatine's only mistake was missing TWO Jedis out of thousands. Imagine if Palpatine executed order 66 and only few dozens Jedis were killed, with the rest arresting him and taking control of the Empire. That's how bad Voltaire is.

http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=770 And Rhoda finally fixed Nanase. Although she forgot to adjust the clothes it seems ... (Reading commentary) ... ok, almost.

So, in other words, Magus only hurt Elliot's pride by stopping that punch. Definitely not what I was saying. ... although the pride hurt more than the hand, that's true.

If that hurt, imagine how much it would have hurt Elliot had his punches actually connected with Magus' face. First, that's not exactly the same (I suppose Magus moved his hand as fast as Elliot to catch him, so the velocity difference was twice as big), second, yes that would probably hurt too but it would be much more satisfying.

Yeah, no. The 'Calm' spell worked fine on Ashley who was panicking and had minimal magic resistance. Ellen? Just absorbed a massive amount of magical energy, and already had a lot more of it than Ashley to begin with. Her magical resistance would be through the roof Good point. Even if Magus managed to cast the spell, Ellen could resist it successfully. ... that won't really help her resisting spells, would it? He didn't wanted to harm Elliot either. I still think the clap hurt. He would likely dodge for some time, then get angry - probably faster than with Elliot, because he has even LESS time now - and then, well, remember Ellen doesn't have enhanced regeneration. Or at least hadn't on morning. Also girlfriend. Who's athletic, smart, trilingual, .... I'm just saying her reaction isn't logical. I don't blame her either.

I don't see why not. It's what I would do in her place. In that case, Magus had good idea to not getting near her. Because I suspect if she would started with that, Magus would do something he would then regret and feel need to atone for. ... wait. Maybe not. Maybe he would be able to cast the "calm" spell quickly. Which might actually help Ellen in sorting out the emotions. And in not attacking person who have worse angry issues than her AND is actually trained to use magic in fight.

... wait. Could she be angry at him BECAUSE he made her angry at Tedd?

Also, there is that bit that if she wanted to be male Tedd could easily help. I suspect she wanted to punch him, although I'm not entirely sure why would she think he owes that to her. Or why would she think after the fight with golem that it would be good idea to do that.

Realistically speaking, he shouldn't be able to hear her over the whoosh, but ... yes.

So, he did wanted to TRY, but when another door apparently appeared inside he decided not to. However, he WOULD have opportunity to cast spell on her. Now, we could assume that he wanted to at least quickly ask. Or maybe that spell is short-range. And yes, this is totally the same case as with Tedd. Sure, he doesn't have the advantage of it being mistakes, but still, is Ellen that angry at someone causing her existence? ... well, she is. As she shown with Tedd. Emotions are not logical, after all. Hmmm ... not sure about the awkwardness, but I think for Ashley, this date trumps the griffin one in how confusing it is.

Star Trek was pretty clearly inspired by a Fifties movie, Forbidden Planet, where a ship the size of the Enterprise does land on a planet. It only had to land on one planet. It's not (just) about size, it's about shape. Nope. He's meant to be Darth Vader, the bad guy who turns away from the Dark Side Right. General Shade Tail will be the final boss.

I don't think Arthur J. Arthur is qualified for field work. I consider Agent Wolf and Agent Cranium most likely - as in, from the ones we know, the most qualified field operatives. Commander Jaguar and Specialist Steve seems better suited to deal with non-magic adversaries, although maybe they can arrive too. Of course, it could also be someone we don't know. Or ... Noriko. I find very unlikely that the alarm is alerting Lord Tedd, so I don't expect Nioi or General Shade Tail. (Lord Tedd himself will DEFINITELY not show.) Enterprise itself (meaning, constitution, excelsior, ambassador, galaxy or sovereign class starship) can NEVER land on planet without needing severe repairs afterwards. Voyager was exception in this regard. The issue wasn't special effect to shown landing of Enterprise, but landing of a shuttle and the fact they were not able to get a model soon enough - they later get one for sixteenth episode. But Dan keeps going back to Lord Tedd and Ellen's Second Life, so either he's got something worked out now and is just waiting for the opportunity to get to it, or he's stubbornly hoping that if he continues to reference it, it'll help with the brainstorming. Dan never said he DOESN'T have Lord Tedd in plan. What he said that he shown him too soon. He's probably supposed to be some sort of final boss. And looking at how the stuff starting with Lord Tedd is keeping referenced, I don't think he could be removed completely. I suppose that what Dan meant was basically leaving both the Goo and Nioi "hanging" in air and only later admitting they are connected and bring Lord Tedd into picture. After all, look at Andrea. I think people would accept Nioi appearing out of thin air, making the nose-beep and only being explained later. ... it's also possible if Dan would really exclude Lord Tedd he would be regretting it now.

http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=769 I'm not sure if tensaided is the kind of nerd preferring pony to minotaur. George, that would be another question ... Also, I suspect the result is less like minotaur than he imagined. On a related note, I'm not sure what I would choose from the available options ; and the idea to motivate it sexually doesn't help much. Not because I would be also close to asexual, but because I would prefer to see attractive forms on OTHERS - and they already ARE there, so I'm not that much motivated to choose form I want to see and then go search for mirror. And, the base thing I would be sexually motivated to try - being girl - would be sideefect of ANY option. (I'm sure what I would like to try which was NOT on list: wings.)
