"Yeah. But... we could also be wrong. Maybe the answer is actually to ram it in your ass with 30 Strength, making your voice create a trench that hyper-evolves into a magical black hole to suck all hostile mobs into it. And then, and then! Once they get the suck, they become part of our shared power pool! Then I get the suck for having such an awesome, intuitive idea!" Yugi suggested. HIs level of seriousness was admittedly lacking, but such was often the case. There was no point getting down in the dumps over this kind of thing, after all. Moving on though, mention of a bath got him thinking... and made him upset. "I could go for a bat─oh goddamnit! I should have hid in the bathroom after all!" he griped.
Miko thought herself more capable of enacting the 'net fishing' plan with use of her staff. Having even a percentage applied to her mana channeling, he was able to further grow the idea... with some caveats. "Sou. Mana cost should be fine then... though it's still a river. I imagine it'll take focus and a strong enough use of that mana to get enough of it out. Anyway... using magic on the water instead of the eels should help us fight against something else I imagine they're capable of: Reflect Magic. I've got no reason to believe they definitely have something like that, but it would be the kind of dickhead thing Brainface would throw at us right now. Physical damage would probably be best even if they don't have that ability. I could start working on a new sword, but I want something else to go into it. That busted iron thing might have to do." As he spoke, Yugi collected the sword in question from their inventory, stabbing it into the ground. "I want to bet on them having Reflect Magic. If they do, our builds wouldn't do shit normally. But... what happens when you reflect a reflection? What I'm thinking is to wash them out of the water, to this blade that I'll have lightning on by then. Lightning arcs through the water, hits the eels, reflects back. But... it doesn't reflect back to a person. It'll reflect toward a conductor and, basically, just double the lightning strength. That cycle will probably keep going until the sword is completely trashed, but what if you slap that barrier of yours on the eels when the sword can't cycle electricity through the loop anymore? I think... that might have us eating unagi tonight. That's assuming enough electricity can be built up to overwhelm the barrier's healing ability, but not break the barrier. You might have to recast. What do you think?"
