Much as I dislike Ravi, I agree with his reasoning.
And for a change he’s actually being serious.
Yep.
I actually kinda like this trope in general. It’s the only justification for “children with absurd magical power” that I’ll accept at this point.
Maybe Ravi just needs to call it the bloomin’ Force. Emphasis on the bloomin’.
Too old to start the training, he is?
Young Padawan, no. Padawan, he is, but young he is no longer. He must go train in the swamplands of Missisippi, raising transportation vehicles from the waterbeds with naught but his mind before he would be deemed powerful enough to face the Dark Side.
I know it’s not gonna happen, doesn’t fit the tone of the comic and stuff, but I’d love to hear what Ravi thinks mortals mean when using the term ‘energy’ when discussing physical laws of nature. I don’t even need anything that in depth. I’d take anyone asking, “Lifting water ain’t physical?”
I love the way the characters are interacting with Ravi here. From Colin’s perspective, Ravi is the awesome guy who gave him magic. From Jim’s perspective, Ravi is the annoying know-it-all git who turned his hair into a plant and can’t stop talking cryptic if his life depended on it.
Phineas was the Red, his daughter Phineas II was the Green, so who is that lovely young lady gryphon with water around her paws?
Is it me or is Ravi more ready to answer questions from Colin without resorting to Wise-One-babbling? And Jim is really getting into a full time sulk.
On another note, I would love to be able to come to the convention. But… too far. Too far…
That’s Phineas’ wife. No special powers, just a nice memorial to her in his tomb.
(Not just making something up; Kory left a note on the Patreon posting of this page.)
That’s nice to know. Thanks.
Jim is pulling an Anakin here. He’s too old for the Jedi training, but has talent not seen for millennia. Also, love the further confusion dinosaur head.
Oh sweet! I will also have a table at FC :D
Looking forward to seeing you there!
…says the person who has lived for hundreds, if not thousands of years longer than either of the Finns…
Some of the words Ravi used for Prana weren’t familiar to me – had to Google for it.
And hope Jim get over this all… its beggining to get on my nerves seeing him all hyper grumpy and complaining lots (imo) – and yea, I know his relationship with Ravi is complicated to boost.
Uh oh! Looks like Old Man Jim’s getting his blood up! Somebody better go get his medication!
Yeah, he’s popping claws there.
You may be only 20 Jim but you’ve already decided you cant do magic. Gonna be hard to do something if you think its impossible.
*scrolls down, sees con map*
Why…. is she a corythos–ohhhhhhhhh
*wonders if I’m the only one that got that on the first look because I’m a giant NERD*
Also…. enjoying the comic. <3
I dunno Jim, IM 20 and I feel fricken ancient.
Also, only one of you is actually trying to do it. That might make a difference.
Hehe, Colin is cute and Jim is even cuter.
I think Jim’s main problem is that deep down he believes that if he develops these abilities he’s going to be resigned to settling down and being a Cavern Guardian, and that will take away his freedom. This is something that Jim does not want AT ALL! So he has this huge mental block that’s preventing him from getting in touch with his powers.
I just started to wonder if words PRANA and Finnish expletive PeRhANA are related.
I mean, it is a word of power and has no other meaning.
Jim is really miserable that someone is trying to teach him how to use magic powers. Poor guy.
By the way…is that fountain there specifically so that Water gifted Finns would be able to use their powers in the cave? I’ve noticed other repositories of water as well as we’ve traversed them, and I figure it makes sense the cave would have been designed – in the generations that knew of it – to ensure that Finns could use their elemental powers to decent effect down there.
