//...Nazgul, that is completely inaccurate, the bug's magic was never drained by Rikako, only an not even noticeable part was, like 0.2%, she was stripped from the magics because she herself warped all that she had to someone else.
//Uh no. I'm pretty sure you're the one being inaccurate. The bug had absolutely none of her magic remaining.
//If you really think that's what happened, feel free to dig through the giant heap of parts and posts to find that exact moment and show it to me as proof. If I'm wrong, then I'll accept that. But until proof is found we only have our own memories to run on.
//That draining barrier worked slowly, really slowly, and did no harm whatsoever to Life Energies even if they were fairy ones, and even then i doubt she will use that instead of the same lock she used on the Sanae Magic + neutralizing field.
//I remember it working quite rapidly, on the contrary.
//Also more about that barrier, she only did it to demonstrate her capabilities to Umbra, she later undid it so that Umbra could safely stay near her without suffering interference from that effect.
//It was on her constantly. Umbra never suffered any interference. She never even had magic in the first place that the barrier would affect. In fact, Rikako even casted a barrier on Umbra herself with no backlash.
//There's also a chance that the proposed 'lightning quick miracle reflexes' won't be fast enough to affect Seija before she uses the watch. I think the dart plan is more likely to be fast enough that that plan, really. Do you disagree?
//We could have a Dai that didn't act during any of this time (e, g. Prime (Cops) or something) do it. And say that was their actions occurring at the same time as <insert arbitrary event between the initial buff casting and now here>.
//We could also politely ask the parser to exclude "power" when interpreting the definition of "effectiveness", though I doubt that would happen lol
//Also still waiting on the parser's decision Re: the inconsistency, since the outcome of that will greatly affect our decision.
//also Re: disagreeing: It might be faster, but there's also a LOT more room to go wrong. One can argue that the plans could be equally bad or good with that in mind. Though I think we might have a higher chance of success with the miracle or changing the blessing, especially if we do the <Inactive Dai at arbitrary time> suggestion.
//Of course, if the parser's decision Re: the inconsistency means the miracles are parsed properly and they tell us it won't be lethal, or if he excludes "power" from the definition of "effectiveness" neither plan would be necessary and we can just go back to the original plan.
