Dungeon Meshi is a well liked manga, and an adaptation by Studio Trigger is now airing. If you haven’t picked this one up, consider joining us. Both for fun and as a way of contributing to activity on Lemmy.
This week we get learn a lot about the phenomenon known as “dungeons”. Marcille points out that the dungeon they are in has been carefully designed accounting for a mind-boggling amount of complexity, and that she studied the science in school. But then the dungeon that Falin discovered seemed like a natural occurrence?
So which is it? Man-made, or natural phenomenon? And can the dungeon master really be taking every little detail into account? Are they omniscient within the dungeon?
This is the tipping point. This is where the story begins to crack open the floodgates on what is really going on.
Remember not to spoil anything if you’re a manga reader, but feel free to elaborate on tidbits of lore that may not be coming through in the adaptation.
It’s not really explained, but there are several characters who cast spells with their hands “by default” so the use of a staff or wand isn’t just a matter of “it’s more efficient” or everyone would use them.
Marcille comments that she hopes she’ll be able to hit, so my assumption has been that the staff improves precision in some way. That simply achieving a very high skill level in casting allows you to forego the use of a casting aid.
