Comic for Friday, November 27th
Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving (or, you know, Thursday for non-Thanksgiving-lands).
Page! Slightly late, sorry. Thanksgiving plus slightly complicated page (compared to what I’ve been doing on the Surface). Sort of phoned in some of special effects I usually do in post processing but wasn’t unhappy with how anything turned out for the most part.
We see a little more about how compiled magic works, though we don’t see anyone use it here. Yes, Peter technically can use magic with an autocaster (most people can – at least with the ones buttons/triggers – those bracelets are a little more tricky). Peter’s phone is likely a general autocaster or linked to one; though a basic (and slow) general autocaster is little more than a series of specialized programs running on hardware that helps crunch the calculation required to use magic (but cannot self-activate, and does not supply the power required).
Compiled magic is another word in the setting for “modern” magic (though I’m not entirely sure it’s ever been said in setting now that I think about it), and is entirely what autocasters use (with the exception of the Boost engine I suppose I should clarify)… It’s magic processes and calculations that have been encoded to a set of rules. We’ll see more of it, but it’s also not the only application of magic – Naomi, for example.

I noticed a few shortcuts you used, but nothing fatal You seem to be getting the hang of the Surface. š
It warms my heart to see how much Naomi enjoys her work. ^^
Um, speaking of Naomi, are those ….. bishi sparkles? O.o I know she’s cute, but still….
She definitely could talk at “Do what you love, love what you do” seminars, couldn’t she? š
Haha, no. They are just sort of different version of the usual magic effects I draw around people using mana/psionic particles. They change a fair bit from time to time, but are a little more different than usual since I usually do them as an effect rather than draw them (like this).
In general weird glowy stuff = probably something I put in for magic. I’m even thinking about changing the magic circles again š I made a version I like better, but haven’t decided yet.
I am impressed by the Kor World’s fellow assuming he’s not a android, the way Noami is knocking him around he has to be feeling extremely dizzy and I am surprised he isn’t passed out in that suit.
Apparently Kor’s world soldiers are pretty tough. They’re Fascistic little monsters, but tough. š
Have higher standards for androids to be impressed with? How unfair! š
Kor’s World technology is pretty fancy; there’s a reason Peter’s been a little spooked š
20 twenty meters? Is that like 20×20 vision? š
lookin’ good.
Haha I don’t want to admit how many times I had to read that to see what was wrong in it š
Alas, no. When I type naturally I put numbers in number form (20) but for some reason when they are being spoken I reckon that should be in written form, but sometimes… err… things… happen š
