Yes indeed, Meji has proven that when she's motivated for any reason she's quite capable of mastering any given spell in impressively short time. Anybody who believes Meji lacks competence in anything she has ever been motivated to do hasn't been reading the comic for long. Her problem earlier was immaturity -- which the events of the past weeks appears to have resolved somewhat, thus perhaps why we're seeing her now in well-coifed mage chick gear rather than her previous scruffy look -- not incompetence.

I wasn't under the impression that Meji had failed to master such spells by the time the comic is taking place, merely that she had generally chosen not to use them.

Well, you'd know better than I ;). Indeed, the whole immaturity thing might explain why she hadn't chosen to use the less, well, spectacular spells. I mean, what could be cooler for someone with the emotional maturity of an average 12-14 year old than whooshing spectacular lighting bolts and fireballs around?! I know that the middle school kids that I taught in that age range woulda loved that kinda stuff.

But anyhow, there should never have been any question about her whoosh bang boom competence, she decidedly has proven in the past that she's quite capable at whoosh bang boom thank you very much :lol: . Edited: Even Ellis admits Meji is good at whoosh boom bang. And Ellis isn't one to hand out the compliments when he could snark an insult instead :).

...

It just occurred to me that Rainae is wearing the exact same kind of armor that Sarine has been wearing since she ditched her old human made armor, right down to the number of segments on the front. Standard elven leather armor for light infantry perhaps?

She's just a misunderstood flower that hasn't had the opportunity to bloom yet.

Heh. Yeah, "delicate little flower" and "Meji" in the same sentence leads to a :o moment. Somehow two terms that I don't expect to see together when refering to Jon's "scary little devil girl" :lol: .

Eh, her body type doesn't fit with true loli. Not only that, but she's too cynical and non-innocent to really fit the bill. She's closer to the classic, teenage shounen MC like Naruto or, in a more recent if post-dated example, Ryūko Matoi.
Because badass action girl is as badass action girl does.
