This must be partly Abel coping with his "insanity."

As long as he doesn't wake up staring into a snow globe we will be fine.

Now THAT would've made MacGyver's job a lot easier...

Abel isn't a MacGyver ... he's a  MacGuffin.  :D

The ability to work metal without tools?  That I like.

Awww, he's doing his hair... maybe later they could do each others nails (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1015.php) and then ... no, wait ... err, ...what I wanted to say ...

I shudder to think what he can make if he added batteries in the mix- probably something loud and able to cut trees!

So, Abel knows about Dr. Who (And mocks those who don't)... but doesn't know MacGuyver? Interesting

Dr. Who has been around waaaay longer than Macguyver.

He's like MacGuyver and Edward smashed into one who has a father that has a chance of becoming another Harry MacDowel. He's becoming a very interesting character IMHO.

I knew someone would say this sooner or later -w-

But yeah, its interesting to see magic used in different ways in the comic. The possibilities are endless~

Good god.

Luckily there wasn't a rubber band around or Able would have made a nuclear sub!

Post by: Scrap Fish on December 04, 2010, 03:14:55 PM
Actually.... That would require a tube sock as well.  I think he used the rubber band on the scissor handle already.
Anyway, I agree this is probably Abel trying to distract himself from the fact he just saw the dead walking.

Well, if he can use the wings to make armor plate, it stands to reason he could use them to shape metal as well.

Heck, there might even be blacksmithing spells ... they'd probably be rather complicated and utterly useless in battle.
Knowing the kind of classes Abel picked (like grassgrowing), that could certainly be a possibility.

AFAIK the armour plate was made of his wings.  This is different - sure, you could use tentacles to mill a solid block of metal, but for paperclips -> scissors, you'd either have to melt them or combine/morph them magically.
It would have been kind of cool to see it done :3

It's unusual enough that Jyrras considers it pretty far out there. Interesting.

I believe she does that deliberately.

It's called "dramatic tension"...

I was surprised to learn that there's a Mc Gyver in Furrae. I wonder what species he is.

In any case, it's good to see both Jyrras and Abel are recovering from their respective breakdowns.

Abel used alchemy to turn the paperclips into a pair of scissors. Fullmetal Alchemist anyone?  :rolleyes

Hrm. Jyrras with a crew-cut will take some getting used to.

Seems to me like all magic is rather like alchemy (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_652.php) in the DMFA universe. I'm guessing that like people said, he had to weld the paperclips together.

Hey now, if there is a sudden and unexplained drop in quality we will still be crazy about the next comic with these insidious techniques. Of course, considering this is Amber she'd probably skip the comic instead of putting something really crappy that isn't filler when she doesn't feel upto it, then again her dedication is disturbing. Actually forget all that, I can't make up my mind but you know what I mean.

I tend to think that the relationship of these two is more brother sister to the point that a naked Wildy would give him the same level of gross as he was made to look like Alexis.

Got to be a crow.  They're quite good at making tools from random objects in their environment!   :3
