Why didn't Shojo just send his wizard to fetch the order?

[Ruck]

Counterpoint: Shojo ALSO didn't know that Roy would NOT agree to come if he just used sending first.
Which is my basic point: I just see no reason in NOT trying sending first, while STILL sending Miko if sending does not work.

Shojo does. That's all that matters.

1. I covered Jasdoif......so what's your point?

You responded to him, but I don't think you countered his points at all.

Also:

So, if Shojo sended something like:
"Please come to Azure City. World at stake. Your father is here"
And a second sending with Eugene:
"PS: Xykon lives, you moron! Love, dad"
Then Roy would NOT go there?

I find that highly unlikely, considering everything Roy did this far.

What you find "highly unlikely", as a reader of the comic with omniscient information, is a lot less relevant than "What Shojo thinks he needs to do."

And no, Shojo doesn't know all of this. But he ALSO doesn't know that this would NOT work, so why not try?

"Why not try anything you aren't sure won't work"? That's your defense? Really? I dunno, here's one reason: Shojo believes he's only got one shot at this and has to make sure he gets it right the first time.

2. Let's take the Nale example:

Nale used sending to lure Roy to cliffport city. Note that illusions are a thing in this world, so no telling whether Julia was really with Nale or not, right?

How would Nale create a believable illusion of a person he's never met or seen?
