Yeah but what this with losing our magic for a hammer when we have best sword.
I mean maybe if it was an Axe or better yet a proper Nohrian Lance so we could be a Lance Lord like Ephriram.

In Fire Emblem a hammer is classified as an axe, we can be like Hector.
Can you tell me you don't want that?

It's a bad axe.
If It was Wolf Beil, or a Killer Axe something with Star power to counter the Dead star power of Apocalypse I might barely be okay but is not. It's a demon infest peace of shit.
Hector's one of the only characters in Fire Emblem that does axes right. Most of them are High HP reliant soak tanks with high alpha-strike damage which is just so... inelegant. And they're really squishy actually. No staying power at all most of the time.
Not to mention we're a fucking Kitsune. Seriously, who ever heard of a freaking Kitsune wailing on someone with a Hammer. It's not even funny/awesome in the unexpected way, it just sounds stupid.
And honestly we were building up our magic, and had one of the more hilariously powerful tomes in the series. I think only the FE8 tome beats it out in raw Might? I don't really know off the top of my head.

I'm not disputing the fact that it wasn't really fair to lose Apocalypse to the Hammer automatically, I'm just saying that the axe isn't TERRIBLE. And we managed to exorcise the demon earlier.
Hey Crit, could we win Apocalypse's favour back?

To be honest id be willing to give a try at smiting that damn hammer on a pure with the nagisa ta and the bow to get Apocaypse chan back. She saved our life so hard. And murdered those guys so well.
Sure the same can be said of that accursed rock from orbit but that rock is competing with Sword kun. And our beast stone melee and cost us shit.

Well, that's just uncalled for.

...Fairly sure.
But it is basically Wolf Beil... Look, do you want me to just buff it or something?
...But Mozu EXCORCISED the demons. It's now a hammer suited for the
Yes, but you'll have to get in line after Tarleton. He's an actual dark mage after all, he gets priority shipping. Still need to roll to see if it jumps to him.

It's fine, Mozu just needs her...what are we up to? Sixth natural 100 to get the book back, it'll be easy.

IT IS THE TRUTH. The god declare it.
HAMMER OF HERACLES.
Claud say otherwise.
It is not styling like wolf veil or welded by Hector.
We want the magic back. We fought with her. We killed with her. We bent multiple level ups to get good with her.
and it made Apocalypse Chan go away in spite.

It took Mozu a while to wake up from her slumber. Blinking the drowsiness from her eyes, she looked at her surroundings. As she surveyed, Coinspinner spoke up in her mind.
"Hey. We need to talk."
Worried, she responded back. "About what? My... rage?"
He laughed. "No, that just makes things interesting. So long as you can learn to control yourself while in that state, you'll hear no complaints on my part." He sobered quickly, however. "No, we need to talk about the Blind Bard Bastard. More specifically, the song he sang to put you to sleep."

"What do you mean? It was spoken in a language I didn't know, but it was quite... melodic..."
Coinspinner snorted. "That's probably the first time in a while that I've heard German described as melodic. And before you ask, German's a language, and not one native to this world."

Her eyes widened. "But... how did he know a song in that language?"
The sound of clapping hands resounded in her head. "BINGO. Our dear bard, at minimum, learned that song somewhere. It's translated name is 'Be Still My Soul', it's a very famous song... in Johnny's world. Obviously, it's on other worlds as well, but not here. Which makes me question, how did he learn it? Keep in mind, this is putting aside the matter of whether or not he knows German. Again, at minimum, we've got what I like to call 'Planeswalker Shenanigans' at hand."
"What shenanigans?"
This time, she heard the snapping of fingers. "That's right, didn't tell you about Planeswalkers, did I? Anyway, even though they're technically a distinct supernatural mutation at large, I use their name as a catch all term for people who are able to travel to different worlds and dimensions. Hopefully we don't get an ACTUAL Planeswalker here, we've got enough on our plate as it is."

"But what if he has good intentions?"
Coinspinner scoffed. "Often, that's even worse. Urza had good intentions. Zeltrech has good intentions quite often. Doesn't mean that Urza didn't almost doom the multiverse to Phyrexia because he was too much of a massive nerd. Doesn't mean that Zeltrech doesn't go through apprentices like toilet paper because they keep dying.

This is the second time I'm writing this update, after SV got rid of most of it. Even before rewriting it, I wasn't that satisfied with it. But, I'd rather just have it done than have it stuck here in this reply box until the end of time. I really don't want to slow down this soon in the quest.
In any case, next update will be a Paralogue involving our good friend Hana. Because of that, I'll be writing it at the same time that the vote is going on, since it'll be separate from the situation the vote involves. At least, I HOPE I'll be writing it during that time, Life tends to throw curveballs after all.

No reason to rock the boat right now. If he does anything we might not like, we'll deal with it, and if he doesn't, he's a very valuable ally. I don't think we should potentially antagonize him.

It's important to know-are we talking oldwalkers, or modern planeswalkers? Modern planeswalkers are mostly manageable, nicol bolas and ugin aside. They are really no more than particularly powerful mages. But oldwalkers were nearly gods. If there is an oldwalker we can do nothing except hope they don't bother us.

...Well then. This happened.
...That's all I can really say. Well, scratch that, I can say a bit more than that.
So, after Marked By Arcadia's Whims began to spread around, I decided to roll for whether a character would ever awaken to become a Mage, since Marked By Arcadia's Whims, among other things, makes one a Sleepwalker, someone who is able to view magic and not suffer from Quiescience. Hana rolled a 90, the very cut off point for whether someone would awaken. Certain events have sped up the amount of time it would have taken her, so she is currently on what is called a "Supernal Journey". It's the second typical form of awakening, where the person's soul is directly transported to one of the Supernal Realms, and if they reach that realm's "Watchtower" and leave a mark of some sort, they'll Awaken. So, yeah, for a short amount of time at least, Hana's going to be further than Mozu at Mage-crap (I'm not proud of myself for that pun.)
Oh yeah, and this is still going on in the middle of the vote, so don't worry about it being over or anything.

I have no idea which realm that was. "Arcadia's Whims" implies she would go to the realm of Arcadia and, if successful, she'll be a Mage that manipulated Fate like our protagonist. The whole "turning someone into a sleeper" doesn't mean that they will awaken as the same type of Mage though. This is a neat turn of events! I would not have expected that we would get an ally Mage before an enemy.

It's not Arcadia, it's the Primal Wilds.
Sadly, no. I did the rolls and everything, and Hana's not getting access to Fate arcana, not yet at least.
Well, with Nyx on Corrin's side, and the planeswalker thing happening, I had to escalate things as it were.

Forgot to answer the following.
That's the general reaction, yes.
A good enough reason as any.
Modern. I'd rather not have to deal the MtG equivalent of Archmages... Just yet, that is.
Powerful, yes, but not cost-effective. A Red Planeswalker tosses lightning bolts everywhere, and can do so almost as soon as they begin basic spellcraft, but that still requires red mana with every use. An Obrimos Mage with at least Disciple-ranking in Forces can do the same thing at a slower rate, but for free. So, in a war of attrition, or in a battle with plenty of prep time, the Mage wins, but in any other case the Planeswalker can expect to win. That is, until you bring stuff like Fate Arcana into the mix.
Again, MtG's Archmage equivalent, though they did it first. Immortal, able to go anywhere they want to, and extremely powerful. The Old!Walker edges out the Archmage if there's no prep time, however, because without Quiesence he's not able to use any Rank 6+ spells. But WITH prep time... Even the Old!Walker is screwed.

All I care about is that her luck is worse than ours, almost as bad as when we started. I wonder if the other guys are going to need help from the trouble she causes.
[X] Don't Confront Him at all, he's helped us immensely, I'd say that he's earned out trust.
At this rate the Wheel of Fate will convert or deal with him for us. Why risk pushing any other allies past what they're willing to tolerate from a dark magic slinging fox?
Now here's where my genius idea comes in. Fujiko will stick with us (like a sister) against whatever madness the world can throw at us. We can 1) train her in the art of diplomacy and begging, 2) cast a spell on her to aid her with an upcoming roll, and 3) convince her to seek Sadaharu's tutelage in the ways of Bardic expression.
Think about it. She values her memories of people and daily life from her (our) village. She needs to make sure the world remembers them! Make those memories into songs that the world will cheer for and pass on no matter how this war challenges them!
So again. Let's try to convince Fujiko to become the dastardly bard's apprentice. We will have an eye on him and we won't strain any relationships. Not only that, but Fujiko will be able to meaningfully participate in the battles to come. Anyone willing to vote for such a plan?

The mage plane walker thing seems game play story segregation problem with the all casts cost a minimum mana.Forgot to answer the following.
That's the general reaction, yes.
A good enough reason as any.
Modern. I'd rather not have to deal the MtG equivalent of Archmages... Just yet, that is.

Also the unknown refresh rate on taps. And the could the walker use their magic omniglot nature to learn to cast like a mage?

Muh dood, there's a problem there. Out of all the times I've rerolled the opinion rolls due to Reality Alteration, Fujiko has always been at a all time low. It would take a huge amount of convincing to get her to even consider helping us right now. To put things in perspective (And I'm sorry I haven't had more character interaction with her to demonstrate this) she likes Mozu right now less than Ullr.
