you ever think about how magnus burnsides can just turn right into a fucking sword tornado. like. just slamming the most powerful worldbreaking sword in the world around at the rate of 4 attacks per 6 seconds. thats literally an attack every 1.5 seconds. do you know how heavy swords are. it takes more time than that to do entire, full-powered sword swings but here he is doing that
taakos over there taking a few seconds to charge up his spells like a normal person bound to the confines of time, and merle’s doing whatever merle does
this is why magnus made the chalice. he was already manipulating time. the chalice was simply a small step upwards
one time during stolen century, one of the others cast a buff on magnus that basically made time slow down for him, so he could fight Fast. he defeated a huge group of people within a couple rounds, and davenport banned them from using that spell on magnus except to fight the hunger
holy fuck. alright. so magnus can, within SIX SECONDS, run 60 feet (at a rate of TEN FEET PER SECOND, OR FASTER) and land 4 hits on someone
if you take into account the fact that he could hit people entirely at the end of the move, separately from the move action, he could go TWENTY FEET PER SECOND and swing his sword at a rate of ONE HIT PER .75 SECONDS
