Well .. here is the problem ... right here: Tomas already has the bandaids of reckoning, the fire blaze of torment and the enchantment of protection in his vocabulary - how hard is it for him to verbalize them and use them in fights?
HOw hard is it to grasp that tentacles, whips or bands - literally endless fighting arms at the carefree disposal of Tomas are wonderful visual aids and spices to any fights? Who needs hand to hand when MC literally has ropes to whip and toss opponents aside? MC also has powerful fire tempest at his finger tips - how awesome is a fire ball for drama in a fight?
The answer is obvious to any todler - Totally Awesome!
So I've been looking a way how to enhance some fights that might occur in the future... and I found it. And it was completely random from a store I knew existed but never really used before. Just need to learn
Nisha is a literal spirit animal who is bound to Tomas and is solely focused on his well being and preservation of life - if Tomas dissapears, so does Nisha - so where would Nisha be that MC can, even if he tried, be alone in a fight?
It has been expressed at neuseam the phisics and magics of their bond makes it impossible to be apart, even if they tried.
Although Nisha already has her entry on the main cast page, but that's because she is seen most often out of the familiars and she has had an important role in the story overall.
Tomas does recon - so do the damn work before the fight and strategize - just like he did with the necromancer in the first updates - is Tomas suddenly a moron and haplessly just jumping head first into fights? Is he a lunatic hermit all of a sudden?
The merry companions we have gathered and cherished along the way have been ready to tell Tomas what is what about his hissy fits. It really is about time we get to see their efforts come to fruition in Tomas rising up to their expectations like a true leader should.
The fights are problematic in a sense. They kind of work right now, but a lot of them will boil down to some sort of deadlock, at least until Nisha (or someone else) comes and mauls the opponent. Or distraction. But that is the nature of magic. The one who makes a mistake first loses. Or who is the fastest or the stealthiest one.
MC has a spirit animal he can turn invisible and he usually uses her for scouting, as she is happy to help keep Tomas safe and he shares her smell and her eyes and her feelings and her thoughts in ways we cannot even immagine.
About time we see actual visible proof of their bond both before and during the fight, because ”sudden” when we know Nisha is appearing outta thin air exactly at Tomas location like all the other spirit animas do in this game is not in our vocabulary.
