you forgot one: Fear. Ok. You don't get rid of fear either. Immortals can totally keep scaring Uryuom forever, even if without humans they wouldn't have anyone to empower and guide. Also, maybe if all immortals agree, the rules can be changed.

The original case couldn't be killing the Celebrity Guest Star ... and there was that map ... was the Falcon originally hidden under the X but missing? Wait, what was in the package for mayor? The Falcon again? ... I think there isn't enough information.

That's what I'm expecting. Laser scan your feet, then 3D print a pair of shoes custom made, complete with adjustments for any medical/orthopedic issues. Could be five years, could be twenty, but it should be within my lifetime. :-) The technology could be there literally tomorrow. It's only question of price. Also, it will not be LEATHER shoes, of course.

Dex said Saturday, he was already attacking on Tuesday. I suspect it can be done even faster. What, you expected Pandora would play it fair? Also, war has PLENTY of drama. Angst-induced awakenings would be common. I'm not sure if those are the most dangerous spells ... summoning might be worse, as shown by Dex. Also consider the psychological effect of monster you fire several rockets into and it just shrugs it off. The most important part, however, is that Uryuom have NO WAY to prevent humans to use magic unless they KILL them all. No matter the technological advantage, Uryuom can be disarmed and it's weapon stolen and used against them. You can't disarm magic user. (Which brings me to the motivation Uryuom would have to conquer Earth. It can't be resources - there are plenty of resources on uninhabited planets. It's either ego - proving superiority and such - or slaves. By eradicating humans you reach neither.)

that would seem to imply it's not reacting to the change so much as the stacking of two different spells together. or in the case of the TF gun, Spell-Like Abilities. The term is enchantment. Both transformation spells and TF gun works on humans by putting enchantment on them. Not on uryuoms, though. And no, it was not stacking, there was only ONE enchantment on Nanase. Otherwise, yes. Flaws which include being a bit worried about whether or not Elliot would like what she wears, being awkwardly adorable when getting tongue-tied, and not listening to her date when he says she should go somewhere safe and instead does something badass that saves him. Yep, she's evil. Flaws don't make you evil. They makes you multidimensional. Character without flaws is flat, and I mean it in sense which is even worse than lacking boobs for woman.

Well, might not be safe to show her where Tedd lives. I think THIS is her attempt to apologize. But in this case it's the though that counts. I think they are still IN FRONT OF Charlotte's apartment but don't care. ... hmmm, likely yes. I don't think Raven is that bad in hiding what he is. More like he don't really care, because authorities (DGB) know anyway.

Weeeell, Uryuoms should be very happy Earth Immortals have rules. And even in limits of empower and guide, how long do you think Uryuom would last if they attacked Earth and say Pandora decided she doesn't want them in same universe as Adrian? Could give a whole new meaning to the term "guided missile".

The wiki disagree in the formulae ; it says male shoe size is 3x last length in inches - 24 ; by chance, if the last length in inches is 12, the result is still 12. Notable fact is that formulae for female shoe size is different. On the other hand, the difference between length of my foot and length of my shoes was bigger than 3cm. I suspect that you are not SUPPOSED to buy shoes with last length matching your foot length - the foot have different shape, is "less pointy". (On the metaphorical third hand, the shoes I was measuring were hiking boots and it was outside length. Also, I was using 16cm long ruler, so I might get different results using proper instruments I'm too lazy to find.)

True ; on the other hand, we can assume there WERE some cases, just not shown explicitly. She seems to like using fairy doll both to contact people and to just being fairy. I'm sure she is enjoying flying like this regularly, maybe even every week. I'm sure that in general, characters are using more spells than we are shown and experiments more, because otherwise their level of curiosity would be dangerously low. It's just that when the results of experiments are not important we are not shown. Well ... if there will be some misconception, it WILL be important. Either the hair change for the first one was bigger, or, as I already said (although it was edit so maybe you missed it), ALL changes of hair she can make with her spell counts as ONE change. Yup. Although the third one doesn't, so it's still possible that if it existed, she wouldn't be able to make new one because her "updated" look is basically using her hair spell. OF COURSE contacting Cheerleadra was mixing magic. That doesn't mean it's not intended function of the spell, just that spell interaction are (or may be) outside of scope of spellbook because the possibilities are infinite.

You mean 30.48cm? ... (Tried to measure foot. Then measure shoe. Finding out the difference. WTF?) ... anyway, my shoes are bigger but not by much. EDIT: Wiki disagree.

Remember that she READS her spellbook. But it's true that you can blame anything on her not understanding the spell. With the way the spell is written, it IS possible ... It's just that I made theory which ALSO explains why she wasn't able to create fourth doll linked to Ellen which wouldn't require Nanase after Sister II rereading her spellbook and realizing she understood it incorrectly. Which might even be important enough to be shown - or mentioned when she had another problem with the spell. I just can't imagine where should she get the assumption that if the doll is already created she will inhabit existing doll elsewhere than the spellbook. And, note that it worked every time when she was NOT transformed.

If 12 is a woman's shoe size, she's got big feet. I'm size 13 shoe size and have a tough time finding shoes that size for me. Well, I have no idea what size 12 is. I just googled and first replies were about woman shoes. Maybe first replies are woman shoes no matter the size :-) ... anyway, my size is 45 or 46, but that's obviously different scale.

The two other dolls (the first one she made and the male one from Grace's birthday) were at home, so Nanase would have had no issue creating a new one near Ellen, but even after changing hairstyles she ended up back at the one she made just outside the classroom because it was the closest one to Ellen. Nanase was able to create several dolls for Susan at Tedd's because they were full transformations, not simple hairstyle changes. It doesn't matter they were at home. The spell is not supposed to create new doll just because the person left the first one somewhere. That's why she was telling people to keep the dolls out. She even TOLD US that she will end up at Ellen's house if she wouldn't transform. Although it's possible that other, natural changes happening since she created the doll helped as well. EDIT: Or different idea: Maybe the hair change count as the same change no matter what she does because it's same spell. So she was able to make three dolls: normal one, with male transformation and with hair changed by her spell.

Hmmmm ... the Celebrity Guess Star is unlikely to use lipstick, and isn't 12 WOMAN shoe size? Is the killer the woman from beginning?

Making universally effective NON-LETHAL weapon is VERY HARD. And even for lethal weapons, there IS big advantage in weapon which kills people but DOESN'T damage structures - and, again, this is not so easy. Of course, for general "kill everything don't care about property damage" purpose, explosives are simpler.

The two she made were IN ADDITION to doll Ellen already had. TWO dolls actually. So the change of hair worked at least once. Me to, but people freak out when I get more specific. In this case, however, TF gun backup might be enough. Agree, if she would be pretending something consciously, she would stop if we are only one looking. But also agree that if she does it subconsciously ... ... yes, it definitely worked that way. Hmmm ... what other secrets could she picked up? This could be interesting ... She DID dated him and it's possible she was dating him longer than her average. His sex was really only thing which she didn't liked. ... yup. Consciously, she likely realises that the reason she had so much trouble dating was that she didn't admitted she's lesbian, but subconsciously, she FEELS this was too easy.

You can come up with geometries where the ratio of circumference to diameter of a circle isn't equal to pi, but that doesn't mean that pi is different, only that the circle is different. The difference in the circle will have other consequences precisely because pi is still the same. (And, in fact, you can't have that ratio be a constant other than pi, because non-Euclidean geometries are still locally Euclidean, meaning that as the circle gets smaller the ratio approaches pi.) It depends on what you take as definition of π. It's true that the equation eiπ = -1 would never work with anything rational. You can develop the math behind this without inputing anything from real world, so if you define π based on that geometry wouldn't matter. But good point about the locally Euclidean stuff: constructing geometry which would make circles with constant ratio different than π no matter size of circle will likely be impossible - or at least the results will be totally unusable in some other way. Both elliptic and hyperbolic geometry definitely wouldn't qualify. You don't need tolerance of manufacturing being lower than 0.0000000000007%. But in the mathematics of design? I was actually reacting to ... well, if the phases are off, that means interference. With the speed modern CPUs are operating, length of signal paths is actually close to how fast signal is required to get from one end to other by speed of light. I must admit I don't actually know enough about it to know how much is π needed there, but it appears very easily around signal processing, and if it's somewhere on start of computation, the difference in result might be multiplied. By the way, quantum physic? SSD contain flash NAND, which uses tunnel injection for writing. Specifically, Fowler–Nordheim tunneling ... totally impossible under classical mechanics. Also, there is π several times on the page talking about it (although I'm not sure if those needs to be computed when constructing the SSD).

Also, he was speaking about saving the world, while Pandora wanted to destroy it - while not literally, it could still be taken as hint it's someone else. Raven might be mistaken when he though Pandora is behind this. Of course, it would mean that Dan deliberately tried to confuse us by talking about Pandora under comic where Raven explained motivation of immortal who was behind this, but note that Dan didn't said DIRECTLY it was Pandora, so ... yes, very interesting idea.

I don't think the stuff Uryuom military uses is called Cosmetic Morph Devices, despite having similar technology. But yes, I think they will have something like that. Without safeties, you can probably use it effectively even against Uryuom who normally can transform back ...

That's good. So we don't have to worry about someone using the TF Gun (Or another Uryuom CMD) for murder, unless said person knows enough about the ins and outs of the device in order to disable the safeties. Ummm ... you know, the sanctioned programming languages might be worse with safeties as well. We can assume TF Gun have safeties on safe level, but other CMDs? We have no idea.

I have a hard time seeing it as jealousy. What exactly is there to be jealous of? If anything it's just paranoia, justified or not. Jealousy is a feeling. It doesn't need to be logical. Ashley, especially in relationship with Elliot, might seem to her like something she wanted to be and failed. On the other hand, the paranoia is certainly there as well. Nanase may have some residual feelings for Elliot, despite her relationship with Ellen. This could be related to Elliot's girly transformations. Note that Nanase had to "think about baseball" when Elliot morphed into Cheerleadra Mark II. Nanase was first who acknowledged Ellen as separate person ... but I wouldn't be so sure her feelings accepted it too. Every time Elliot transforms to girl (which is all the time) he reminds her Ellen.

Yes, it certainly does, although they were only mentioned indirectly. ... ok, probably not THAT much safeties.

I was commenting the "I can assure you that this is absolutely the correct response to that faction" part. Of course Grace isn't mercenary, so it's understandable she's making mistakes. Pointing them out should help others to not repeat those mistakes.

I don't think so. Grace really thinks about time. Nanase is suspicious of WHO he is dating. We are not SURE noone saw him ... but yes, seems we were wrong. She also don't like labels. And gets stuck in book shops. And there may be other stuff we don't know about her yet. Speaking about knowing, Nanase don't know about the labels and book shops either ... she may like Ashley more when she gets to know her. ... or after she tries to spy on her and finds NOTHING. Charlotte definitely. She knows too much already. Later maybe Sam and/or Luke. According to commentary, Dan didn't planned that ... he also didn't planed Susan to be clean-freak. But while Susan being clean-freak can be kept in background, this will need to be resolved eventually, so ...

Computers would not start like that. The calculations necessary for creating working CPU already require both quantum physics and theory of relativity, I'm sure they require very precise π as well. You can, if you don't insist on parallel lines not crossing. I mean, "world where this number were equal to pi" sounds very similarly to description of non-euclidean space. Nah, that's a different natural law -- any new technology will have an early but necessary growth stage in which it is used primarily for porn/sex/masturbatioin/etc. Not ANY. Only the ones which will be successful. For example, Betamax was never used for porn. That's why there are more people who own VHS than people who know what Betamax is. ... that's almost paranoid. Also, good idea. Ok. Step 1, get Nanase from waistband. Then call Nanase.
