Those explanations make sense so I don't think it needs to be added.

 

Your reminder about Lorraine cleared up my other question. Since AA licenses are pretty much made for Priests and Priest Candidates (you have to be able to score very well on the barrier test to get one) it seemed weird to me that they'd still have a testing orb for Destruction (and presumably Resurrection). But a strong enough triple attribute mage can maintain a barrier with different attributes for a short period of time in cases of emergencies so it makes sense why they would want to test as many competent triples as possible. 

 

Thanks.

Something confusing I came across when re-reading the flashback to Asha's magic exam. When she's arguing with the barrier test administrator, he says she can't take the test because he only has one Marut attribute. But how can there be a Marut barrier if the Temple of Destruction was destroyed in the Cataclysm?

The Temple of Destruction is in Atera; Asha's magic exam was in Rindhallow.
I remember that the barrier test is done in rooms; each one has barrier stone of different attribute.
They aren't like the main room that operates the barrier around the city; simulation might be involved as well.

Why does Rana think she will stop aging? What kind of deal did she make to get 'it'? (2-130)

 

Which magician helped Asha get the names from the human search system?

[Nualie]

What exactly happened between Maruna, Riagara and Pingara?

 

Asking this because there's probably more to it than just Maruna hunting Pingara a couple times.

I was rereading the Test of the Sword and something hit me...

Why does Sagara always use her transcendental to heal, rather than regular regeneration? 

 

Neither Yuta nor Alex use one, but Sagara keeps using it. I agree it's handy, but she didn't need it against Brilith, since she turned it off right after... Right?

Now that I think of it, we saw both Ria and Pingara regenerating before, but neither showed the use of a transcendental, either.

 

So what? Is she hiding something? Or is it just more efficient vigor-wise?

It probably makes it a helluva lot easier/quicker to regenerate. I mean, I doubt that they all have Transcendentals that aid regeneration. Of the Sura in the main story, Gandharva and Hura are the only other ones who would have those kinds of Transcendentals, right?

The Rana thing ... I took that as a partial answer to 'What was the bet that Rana made with Ran's aunt?' ... but if you feel that's an assumption on my part and they aren't related ... I could add it.

 

Added (And before anyone else says that they know based on the latest Ch. 2-144. That's just a guess )

Why not Maruna's section is pretty empty ... Added

Already a section for that, scroll to the bottomish of the OP.

[rojo]

Rana -

♦ What was the bet that Rana made with Ran's aunt?

 

Answered, 2-145.

 

♦ Did Asha kill all those people?

 

Answered, Falling Petals arc.

 

♦ Which AA (Claude, Laila, or Lorriane) helped Asha get the names from the human search system?

 

Answered, 2-144.

[Kitty1826x]

Use spoilers rojo >.< not everyone looks at the raws, some wait for BKS to translate Kubera. 

 

Not going to change Asha's question, since Asha hasn't admitted it, or some flashback of her doing the killing has been shown. Currygom master of making you look one way when you should be looking another. 

 

I'll update the AA magician question.

[Blunt]

Rojo really didn't spoil anything though... Just said that those questions got answered in those chapters, not what the answers were. 

[Horseshoe Crab]

I re-read 2-59 and this question came up: What caused the Taraka clan's sudden power-up in N5?

Yuta was stranded in Isholy in N0 and arrived in Willarv in N15, so what was he up to in the meantime other than traveling through space? (I'm assuming here that the power-up is related to Yuta.)

[BehindTheLighT]

I don't think it was a power up, but that taraka brought with her some strong sura from her clan, instead of of her usual minions. The gandharva rakshasa was surprised because that big sura didn't resembled the standard taraka sura at all

[Jassim Al-Madeh]

Just one big Chaos Sura showed up,
doesn't necessary mean whole clan powered up.
(That dude killed a confident Nastkia like nothing LOL)

[Nualie]

I think they after Yuta reached second stage, they waited for an opportunity. They attacked the Gandharva Clan before over clans attacked them and after they had been sufficiently weakened.

[Stagehand]

As Nualie said, they probably wanted to wait until the Gandharva, and Yaksha clans were stuck in the sura realm with them after Yuta reached stage 2 sometime between leaving Garuda and being left behind during the Cataclysm, and presumably powered up his clan a bit in the process. Since the Chaos clan doesn't usually set foot in the human realm, and because the two clans weren't exactly pushovers at the time, it would have been prudent to wait a while.

[Nualie]

Just thought of something: If a sura wears a DA-amplifier item (ex: the Golden Knight), will he/she be able to use magic?

[Paper]

Just thought of something: If a sura wears a DA-amplifier item (ex: the Golden Knight), will he/she be able to use magic?

I suppose it depends on the God to whom the item belongs. I mean, God-level items are "part" of that God, and the Gods hate the Sura, so why would any God let their item activate for a Sura?

 

Here's another question: If Gods can make God-level items, can Nastika make Nastika-level items? The bodies of certain dead Sura are made into ships, the bones of one of the Nastika Kings (was it Yaksha? I can't remember) are used by Half-hunters to capture/restrain Halfs, and the items of clothing worn by Sura are considered part of their bodies and can be given to others or removed from their possession (as shown with Yuta giving Leez his scarf, Gandha giving Teo his coat, etc.). But can Sura (or Nastika, at least) make their own-leveled items? If not now, was it possible back when Fiendish Magic was available (before D0)?

 

I wish Currygom would show us more glimpses of the Kuberaverse pre-D0...

[Nualie]

 With that logic, does Hoti Asvins work on sura at all?
