#listen the way dima SMACKS AWAY THE LAST MAGIC ATTACK LIKE IT BOTHERS HIMMMM

[xamaxenta]

Also that visual imagery of Ace stepping up to protect Sabo from a force he's frankly outclassed against?? Yeah that's supreme grade 👌👌👌 right there. Might be a walk in the park for Sabo to handle himself but Ace is his own true and faithful knight for a reason. Of course he'll willingly put himself in harms way for Sabo 11 times out of 10

Hehe ok now that you've put the scene in my head I have another magic question to ponder over: Do you think Ace's sword gets high buff magical RES too? Just for situations like these?? Maybe Sabo has to meticulously mess with it and even then it's a one-and-done kinda deal but imagine an enemy firing a spell off that Ace just slices through no problemo, cuts it like butter. Would certainly think twice about doing the same thing again, and Ace can probably bluff his way into them thinking his sword can just always deflect magic like nothing.

Yeeee!!!! Listen im sooooooo excited over this concept bc im always for the whole i will protect you no matter the odds but also bc it feeds into the himboism heroism of the defending character

Like its the entire schtick of I know you can handle this but I WANT to protect you

The greatest example i can offer is this cutscene frm fe3h three hopes (im so normal… and dimitri hilariously has super low RES so this was very pleasing to see)

Yanno smthin abt a guy taking magical hits and nothing phases him

Yeah

Ace… i need it

For Ace’s sword yah!! I think Sabo’s tinkered with it much to the smithy’s dismay, “your highness tampering with the foiling magically will ruin its durability!” (whatever its called when swords are folded and worked over and over theres a term i just forgor)

Sabo sniffinf haughtily bc he already thought about the enchantments compromising the steel and had sewn in material binding spellwork too

Ace’s sword is a loaded die so to speak, it may cleave a magic meteor in two one day and fail to block even a spark another, such is the effect of a non mana emitter wielding an enchanted weapon

Ace’s mana siphon tattoos and markings only allow him to cast incantations he’s learnt, wielding an enchanted item is purely at the ebb and flow of mana itself, now if Sabo deigned himself to handling Ace’s sword (heh.) it would do as its enchantments command it bc Sabos an emitter and probably in his hands would work a little too well

But yes Ace bluffing his way into making people think he can always slice through magical attacks like deep down hes like whAaat THEE FUUUUUUCK and Sabos just smirking like heh. Thats my knight
