..and it sounds like the vast majority of the society doesn't think so. I'm not sure if I should be happy or very afraid for Luke.
Is that Shades?
Yes, afaik.

Looks like it should be. I wondered at first if it was Turnsky's take on Pal, though the fur is wrong for that.
Will the tech guide explain where he got the glasses made in a medieval tech area? :P

I actually did a little research on that myself, but you can only trust Wikipedia so far. According to that source, there have been sunglasses dating back as early as ancient China, and their lenses were made out of smoky quartz and other translucent/polarized gems.
Regular glasses for vision correction date back to about the 9th century, so they definitely exist in medieval level technology. Also, we saw another character from a close area wearing them as well, so we know they exist on Ariannia.
However, I'm not sure if Shade's glasses are corrective or not.
EDIT:
Turnsky, you never fixed Ephrael's right eye in panels 5 and 6 of page 58.

Oh, silly me, I was not wearing my corrective lenses when I viewed it this morning. :P
Man Shades is a big MOFO :3 Then again he always is o.o

If every line I wrote was entirely correct without fail, I could command a far larger salary than I do...
Anyway, regarding the comic, I feel obliged to say that Shades is looking pretty awesome here. And I'm so glad that Luke seems to be getting someone sensible as a guide, Eph really had me worried there :P
Would you rather my character? :P

I don't really know him will enough to make an informed judgment, but I'll take your word for it >:3 Really I was hoping for Paige or Paladin, but Shades is good too.
If I had won, I had thought to offer Daryil and see what Turnsky did with him. Though since it would probably have involved driving Luke to insanity and/or suicide, it's probably a good job I lost.
So I'm just the distant third, is that what you're saying Tape? You are so mean! *Beeps Tape's nose*
That is quite the rocken fox there Turnsky! :boogie
I like the outfit and the look on his face in the last panel. Yes... Luke and I will be good friends :3

No, last I saw, Pal won the auction, that's all :P
Yea, honestly I just wanted to call you mean >:3
All you weird canine/fox types are mean.
It's in your blood

I think with ShadesFox there, he might not mind Eph being on him. Honestly never knew Shades was that kind of guy. O.o
Turnsky you evil man you added Shades?
Bwhahahahahaha!
Yes, and just think, this is the first 'cubi Shades :3
Luke yet still needs pants, shirt, shoes, possibly coat and hat and to not sit around all day.
Oh, this is such fun...and probably won't result in quite as many second degree burns as having a roommate whose projects explode a third of the time. Let's just say that being absent-minded isn't a desirable trait in someone that's studying potentially volatile spells and potions.
"Uh-oh" is not the kind of interjection one likes to hear in the midst of an otherwise friendly/sympathetic conversation. Other unpopular conversation stoppers include "Duck!" and "Want to see a chemical (alchemical?) reaction?" This goes double if that last one is said with an unhealthy amount of enthusiasm.

I wouldn't think that they would allow too volatile projects to be performed in sleeping quarters. Even if they did allow that, I would imagine that active torture or consuming a soul could be as bad as any alchemy and possibly even worse on Luke.

Don't Luke's energy wings (or whatever they're properly called) protect him from most damage on a subconscious level?

only until he learns how to use them, then that effect kinda wears off, more often than not it's more a in-built self defense thing.. keeps young thaelith from hurting eachother via one method or another.
I'm assuming you're referring only to the automatic defense wearing off, where later he has to consciously defend.

Electricity expensive out there? A kWh of power here runs anywhere between $0.03/kWh (Arizona at night, its $0.06/kWh in the day) to around $0.20kWh (probably in California). Under the billing plan my house is on, its about $0.125/kWh for 500kWh or less, $0.11/kWh for 501-1000kWh, and $0.105/kWh for 1001kWh or more.
So, running a 18,000BTU AC (1.85kW) for 12 hours a day at $0.12/kWh is about $40/month (estimated run time of about 30 minutes an hour with AC on automatic)
it's called a "tight budget" :U

*Throws a few snowballs at Turnsky to cool off*
I wish I could go south for the winter that's up here right now. I hate the cold and it causes my skin to dry out and develop huge gashes as it literally cracks.

Oh, roll around AC units, usually seen at 15, 18 and 20k BTU's. They're relatively new out here in the states (they started popping up here about two or three years ago)
I could always say to just run them at the hottest part of the day (over 85F, usually 4 or 5PM) and run it for an hour, but that's all up to you.
I find that when it's stuffy/muggy, a little fan blowing by me makes it bearable. though too much cooling in one spot that way can cause muscle stiffness.
