[Sirus]

:"And also a hammer sounds useful right I could actually hurt armored people."

: "Look at it logically, Sir Jorinn. As you're well aware, magic is very useful against armored enemies. And we have a number of very powerful magic users in our group. So, how useful will another anti-armor weapon be?"

[Blade Master Model 42]

:"And also a hammer sounds useful right I could actually hurt armored people."

"...But the spell slingers and me already do that."

[Powder Miner]

:"Well yeah, but whenever there are any other people around, they knock you out."

[Gamerboy4life]

:"Well yeah, but whenever there are any other people around, they knock you out."

"But that's your job. You're there to hold the line with Gregor and keep those less armored safe. You kill those guys before they kill ours."

[Blade Master Model 42]

:"Well yeah, but whenever there are any other people around, they knock you out."

"Wow, rude. Besides, I've gotten better recently. A lot better. I think anima casters in particular, I've gotten better at reading their wind-up, you know what I mean?"

[Powder Miner]

:"Well you could probably buy his thing and then buy mine with the leftovers anyway, I only need 35 gold."

..."Also, mages man, have to commiserate there."

[Zako]

Edwin, who happened to be passing by at the moment, stops upon hearing Alex's exclamation.

"I have to agree with you on your point, Sir Jorim. Mages are quite unpleasant to fight against if not prepared properly for.

And don't worry, if you get too hurt, I can just heal you myself. It'll hurt on my end, but it works!"

[Blade Master Model 42]

"Healing people hurts you? Funny, Seyena and Ami never mentioned a problem like that."

[Zako]

"That's because they use staves to do their work for them. They also have limited charges, meaning that they have to replace their staves after a number of castings. My method is that of calling magic, something that Raquel or Tantallos know about I suspect. I can use the spell as many times as I want, but it comes at the cost of my own health for each spell cast this way.

I'm literally tearing myself apart for each spell I call, but it does mean that I can use it without a staff and without the limits that they imply. I used such a technique once on Olison in the battle, so it works at any rate."

[Blade Master Model 42]

"...So... You're using yourself as the staff, and it's possible to use yourself up. That sounds dangerous."

[Sirus]

: "No kidding. That sounds like a rather risky technique."

[Gamerboy4life]

Seyena subconsciously hugged her staff close to her chest.

"By the Dragon..."

[Furtuka]

A blur flew into the wagon, blowing the doors open. Derick stopped for his breath by Raquel, cradling the Mage Masher close to his chest

"Help me hide!"

[Zako]

Edwin nodded in thought as he considered his companion's reactions.

"Yes, it is somewhat risky if you don't know what you are doing. I thankfully have a bit of an advantage that most don't have when it comes to this sort of thing though...

And historically speaking it's also very interesting. Calling magic is one of the oldest, if not arguably one of the first, ways of casting magic. I recall reading accounts of how whole battalions of mages would travel with the armies of footsoldiers to provide support back before the invention of staves and tomes that held magic. It was the invention of both staves and tomes that made a massive change in how battles and wars would be waged in the future, and it was done in order to preserve the lives of those brave mages that literally gave their own away for others."

He looked down at his tome and rubbed it absently with a thumb in thought before looking back up.

"I have a question for you all, if you don't mind me asking?"

[Blade Master Model 42]

"Shoot."
