    Hmm.  Well, I think Tedd's got the nuke, all but by pure luck.  With one in seven million, there would have been a handful of seers all of recorded history, but only now would exposing magic unleash such a torrent of them.

    (Makes you wonder more than ever what Magic is - especially in a setting with aliens this doesn't affect.)

    Hmm... two observations from a very very Doylist view.

    1. I doubt Tedd and Van will ultimately lose.  As I said before, it feels so wasteful to spend all this time setting up the various characters' magic to do away with it.  Moreover, these millennia-old cycles in fantasy just about always end up being broken before the curtain falls.  Magic has already said this is an unprecedented instance, at what we in the real world perceive as a very anomalous time in our history, and Elliot has laid the groundwork for Tedd to build on the latter.
    2. I also doubt that Tedd and Van will win this scene; heck, my guess'd be that Van'll be on Arthur's side by the end of his speech.  We're clearly being set up for a very compelling argument, and one I don't think Tedd is going to be able to immediately refute to Magic's satisfaction.  If we'd heard it in full prior to this point, I'd think this was likely the climax of that thread, but while we've gotten the gist of Arthur's objection from him and Edward, we're about to see it fleshed out in a way we haven't before, which I doubt will be punctured immediately, especially given the presence of an unknown third party, initially on Tedd's side, at an impressionable age.

    For this reason, I expect that this scene will end with Tedd successfully fighting for an adjournment.  It's probably not something Magic wants, given its aversion to letting seers know this was a thing, but she might be able to leverage the fact that there are three of them now, plus a little "humans are social animals!" into a recess to prepare, with the rest of the eight/nine, a case that will ultimately win.  (After all, friendship is arguably more central a theme to this comic than transformation is.)

    Why, if Noriko lives in Europe (which, at least when that fact was established, included the UK), would Van call his mother "okaa-san" to third parties (which I don't think you actually do even in Japanese...), no matter whom he was raised by?  He might call her that at home, but he'd still be as much a product of his country of birth as Tedd and Nanase are.

    Here's a question - what happens to Abraham if magic resets?  It's pretty much down to two options - he becomes a normal statue, or he becomes a normal human, and I'm not sure which is more likely.  It's been suggested that wizards are going to stay wizards, they're just going to lose their spells...

    ... Tedd has how many methods to turn to boy?

     

    If magic resets, potentially zero (depending on how Uryuom magic's effects change).

    And while this is likely part of the magic reset process, I think she WILL be able to transform before the reset makes it impossible, unless she spends all that time "sleeping".

     

    ...exactly.

    ...huh.

    Well, I was technically right about cutting back to the game, but I kinda figured it was so that no one would question Ashley having her clothes (back) on.  So... are we going to do this Schrödinger's nudity until Ashley's hit with a clothing card?  Only, by the rules of the game, that'd probably be at least an orbit, and I have to wonder whether anyone who didn't read the Patreon commentary would think to question her toplessness even now, let alone after a few more weeks of this...
