"Worst case scenario, I suppose that would work if they cracked their heads against something," Mikumo says, taking it in the humour intended. While she imagines she could do something more dramatic if she could actually make something out of the water, she'd have to actually be sure she could do that much first.

She's seen the magic parts of the camp, but she's not as familiar with what comes with the Tian alignment, so she takes the information on board. "It seems as if there would be clearer instructions on that, though, since it's not as individualised as the Heba abilities are supposed to be."

So that's one advantage to the Tian side, as well as having a broader range of abilities available to them via spells. But having a theoretically immediately ready power at her disposal isn't too bad either.
