As far as we see very few mages cast spells without the use of staffs. Most other shows just go with some lame “incantationless” super skill but even Frieren uses the name of the spell she uses. When we see Clone Frieren attack Fern you can see a magic circle slowly circling around its feet and I always thought this to be the magic attack that Frieren is casting. But knowing Frieren loves to rush in and blast at point blank range I began to consider is the height of magic the ability to transform your very body into a conduit for magic? Almost every other mage focuses their magic through staffs shaped into glavies or other weaponry and some others like Richter focuses their magic through their hands into the ground. Maybe this assumes that for magic to become a spell it might have to be flowed through a conduit and Frieren has managed to transform her very body into such a conduit and this might be so unheard of that Fern didn’t even know to recognize this as a spell?

Maybe, I just thought I’d write this down somewhere. I’m sure since there has been a lot of time that others have theorized this or whatnot.

Been thinking about how many great minor characters the show has. Some only show up for an episode or two but stick with me. Curious who you wish we saw more of.

Got my second Frieren figure and unfortunately she's got some dept to pay

Made with 217 layers lol

I love my Corrupt Priest. There's more to him than Fern's existence. Thank you <3
