[@VitaVitaAR]I mean yeah, that totally works, provided the barrier's provided enough prana to repair itself faster than the curse can bore its way through. I guess I'm just not entirely comfortable with setting the precedent of having my character's most directly offensive, accurate, and deadly attack being casually sidestepped in a single line of narration, unless there's good reason for it. Like, if Elizabeth is as fast as a Servant, then of course there'd be no contest - Mira can't come anywhere close to that, even at her best. But even if Breathing and Walking is generally a sign of prodigious magical talent, I wasn't aware she was quite on that level, so I figured I'd better ask for clarification. ^^;
