Re: Thaumaturge
Ooh. Ominous. Seems our title character is definitely a Geosopher; Time will tell whether he is something else, too.

Re: Thaumaturge
Woohoo... time to kick ass!
Wait, did our Mysterious Stranger just stop time? Wendy and Adam seem to have motion lines, but their positions don't denote movement, while in contrast, Mr. Mysterious doesn't have movement lines, but is in a position that should have them. Looking at it, I can't help but get the impression that the audience's perception of time is different from the characters actually in the scene. Especially considering panel 4 and the movement lines around our villain.

Re: Thaumaturge
What about using the cards upside-down to reverse their effects?

Little confused as what all is happening. Other than that, it is awesome!

Re: Thaumaturge
Admittedly, it took my a second read to get it, but it looks like Stutter Du-Dude attacked with the totem-pole thingies (Ancestor's Elder Spires) but Douche-hawk blocked the attack with the toothy-looking things (Earthshape: Clay).
I'm really loving the stutter, by the way. It's a really nice detail, somehow.Last edited by SlyGuyMcFly; 2012-01-09 at 01:13 PM.

Re: Thaumaturge
So I guess there's multiple "miracles" within an element, and then when you use a thamacard of that miracle, it can take different forms?

Re: Thaumaturge
Assuming those are the "tectonic phantasms," I'd guess Earth. Of course, I'd also guess that clay manipulation falls under Earth, too. I suppose there are more limits on one's power than simply the element of your card.
EDIT:
Another little detail I like is how he doesn't stutter when he's casting. I've heard lots of stutterers don't stutter when singing or speaking in a non-normal voice.
...Also, holy crap, what's wrong with Dalton's eyes in panel 1?

Re: Thaumaturge
Seems logical, given what the old guy with the punny name told us: Each sopher has their own take on the deeper meanings of their element. Maybe the varying approaches shape how they manifest the powers of that element?

Re: Thaumaturge
Hmm, does he mean impossible as in what just happened is considered impossible by general consensus. Or impossible as in: "Holy ****, what did I get myself into? This guy is way tougher than I thought."

Re: Thaumaturge
Also the length of a chant seems to be indicative of its power. Interesting system here. :)

Re: Thaumaturge
So our title page is not one who's just getting INTO it, while the supporting characters are already immersed in this stuff; Rather, the supporting characters are the novices, or novice, since is a novice, and TPC is already a MASTER.
Three-of-a-kind, 17 syllables...
Alright; What of a miracle-pair? Say, two thunderbolt cards (I see one in the BG in the title page). The number of syllables is important.
Say, I pulled two thunderbolts, and chanted
"Blazing Rod, Straight and tall;
Strike the clouds, bring their fall."
I'm not a sopher, but that would be a 12 syllable chant. I assume, though, that that's not really a chant a sopher would use for a miracle. But would that be close to what happens?
What happens when you mix elements? Say, a miracle using both a flame and... I can't think of what element that card that looks like a hoof might be for. Maybe that's... yeah, that's the mind card, isn't it. So, If you had a miracle with both fire+mind element cards, what might the chant be? What might the effect be?Demilich avatar by Smuchmuch.

Re: Thaumaturge
This isn't that kind of a fight really, it's an establishing fight, to set up just how powerful our title character is. Not to show off how the system works.

Re: Thaumaturge
Let's admit it, it's also a fight to let the author have fun with manga clichés.
