Tasting the Blade
No Title

Hey everyone!
Here's this week's question:
You've stated that there are other races in the world of Aikonia, but only humans seem to be studying magic at the school. Do other races (such as Bardans) lack ability with magic, or do they just have different approaches to it that aren't taught at the school?
There are other races in Aikonia that are magically inclined, but those races are either not living among the humans or not in good terms with them. The Bardans, on the other hand, can simply not master magic. Many of them have tried, but for mysterious reasons, channeling does not seem to work with them. Some think it's because of the copper in their skin, others think it's because they lack the mental ability.
Have a nice week everyone :)

You know what they say! Can't make an omlet without... murdering a few students. You know, I'm starting to think I learned that incorrectly. Posted on September 24th, 2012 at 02:24AMvlad3163 said:

I'm thinking all other students have fled at that point, after that 'ceremony' Ariel did. The ones there left behind must be the ones from her demonic little mind-controlled group. Posted on September 24th, 2012 at 09:13AMAndrew-David replied:
@Crimsonazule: That is correct. We showed some of the escaped students back in that pub scene. It was actually mentioned too. Posted on September 24th, 2012 at 09:31AMMattxAus replied:
yeah, but at the time we last saw mention of it, not that far back, she hadnt taken too many - if memory serves, there was only mention of a 'few students' going missing, above average though (lol), that, and she only seemed to be going after students that were naturally talented at both binding and casting (her crazy magic-sight, earlier on) - surely there arent many children with that level of aptitude..

*gasp* It's you! From that other comic! Glad you like this one, too. ;D Posted on September 24th, 2012 at 10:26AMAlexisonfire said:
Yay, lets all go on a murder spree of helpless, mind controlled students! I'm sure mass murder of their friends and classmates won't be at all scarring or mentally destabilizing for Gwynne and Derron!Ah, who am I kidding, Gwynne isn't going to live through this. Nor are the soldiers, considering they still don't have character pages. Posted on September 24th, 2012 at 12:19PM Reply

Yeah, I don't think Ariel is going to put up with this. Posted on September 24th, 2012 at 12:24PMSmurfton replied:
The soldiers don't even have names, why would they live? Posted on September 24th, 2012 at 01:19PMAndrew-David replied:
The soldiers do have names. Read more carefully. Posted on September 24th, 2012 at 07:18PMMDude said:

Oh awesome, the RSS feed is switched! I don't know if it's from my comment, others' comments, or you just felt like it, but thank you very much! Posted on September 24th, 2012 at 02:29PM ReplyAndrew-David replied:
Yeah, a couple people pointed it out in the past (a total of 5 so far, I think?) so I figured I'd finally do it despite saying that I wouldn't. Posted on September 24th, 2012 at 07:19PMRSS feed replied:
Ah, so THAT'S why my RSS reader, which shows me only the newest entry in the feed when it happens, suddenly has 258 new feed entries...And teaser images! You fiends! XD Posted on September 26th, 2012 at 09:14AM

So the bardans have copper in their skin...is that what makes it green? Posted on September 24th, 2012 at 08:50PM ReplyMattxAus replied:
maybe bardans have chlorophyll in their skin - woodnt you like to know? Posted on September 25th, 2012 at 06:32AMLabrynianRebel replied:
No their skin are green due to their natural racial inferiority, duh :P Posted on September 25th, 2012 at 10:04PMMattxAus replied:
because they're envious of every other race?Posted on September 26th, 2012 at 07:50AM

If Bardans have copper in their skin, lightning storms must not be very fun. Posted on September 26th, 2012 at 11:11AMMattxAus replied:
well, we have iron in our blood, but we arent magnetic.. Posted on September 28th, 2012 at 09:30PMShadowdragoonftw said:
If Bardans have Chlorophyll in their skin, does that mean they photosynthesize like plants? Could be interesting effects from that, like them healing faster...But yes, oxidized copper turns green, so even if it's a coincidence, I think it's a great one! :D Posted on September 28th, 2012 at 06:43AM Reply
