    Well, I was thinking more of controlling them, but that might be a bit too close to Golem.

    But we have no idea what codex the guy in the bandages may be, correct? What if he just gets hurt a lot?

    Or maybe he has some kind of disease (as a payment for the codex). Also, that guy(?) with the earrings is almost screaming "Insect". Flying honeycomb patterns, paralyzing venom...

    It doesn't need to be a mythological creature. Where else have you heard of blind people with flying laser-shooting eyes?

    I've heard of scrying, and aside from in DnD, the person is usually blind except for the vision itself. (it's done mentally)

    Remove the "blind people" part and I can think of something that fits the "flying eyes that shoot lasers". Okay, it's not exactly mythological, but it's there.

    As long as someone believed in it at any point in time after 1 AD, sure.

    No, he'll just become a Page. Also, evil clowns and skeleton? These guys are definitely evil. So when you become an eyedoll, you give up your eyes, when you become skeleton/undead, you give up an appendage?

    Two Halloween-themed gangs of pages.
    On the aggressor's side, evil clown, undead, and whatever the heck Painted Eyes is.
    On the other side, Mummy-Boy, Kitty-Collar Witch, and whatever the heck Bobble-Hat Man is.

    In the middle, Chaos Troll Raoul.

    Wait; aren't all page groups Halloween-themed as soon as they mix different codices?

    Candle lexicon. The hexagons make sense now: beeswax. The tall top hat is probably for the tallow shape; unless Painted Eyes is hiding a wick under it.

    Oh wait, scratch that. On a second reading, Candle Guy is Bobble Hat Man, not Painted Eyes. Painted Eyes is about freezing stuff. Makes more sense for what he did to Raoul's arm, but the symbolism of the hexagons remains unexplained.

    Well, based on his lexicon name and spell, i'd say wearing a jack o lantern shirt isn't too outrageous.

    When water freezes, the molecules form hexagon shapes. It's the reason that ice is less dense than water.

    So, in other words, look at her boobs.

    Of course, from what I've learned in this thread about manga, that probably confirms her masculinity.

    oh wait, that explained it fine.
