Re: Chapter 14 - Info page

[(Anonymous)]

+1 to hoping for more detail about Onni's coma, whether it be as infopage or just brought up later in the comic... The differences make me kind of ??? and I'm wondering if he's just able to do this because he's more experienced than Lalli, or what.

Re: Chapter 14 - Info page

Yeah, basically - the only one who's currently able to interact with him (at least until it's over) is Reynir, and he doesn't know enough about Finnish magic to ask the right questions. Lalli probably knowsthe theory at least, so won't need to ask, if he manages to contact Onni again with Reynir's help. So an info page would be good.

Pet theory: Onni's Luonto, as a semi-autonomous spirit, is currently sheltering the rest of him, that's why's he's currentl in owl shape. Somehow it didn't take as much of a hit - maybe Onni somehow re-routed the damage he took? According to wikipedia, one can lose their itse, too, and perhaps that's what happened here instead.

Oof let's hope not, losing your souls goes in manner of severity thus: luonto - itse - henki. Lose your luonto? Resting is recommended, you wait and it'll try to find its way back (it usually can do this independently). Lose your itse and you're pretty much comatose until someone else goes to get it back for you, itse typically get so lost they don't find their owner on their own (they might though, on occasion, but in the most typical scenario you need a witch to go find it for you). Lose your henki and game over, since henki is your life force.

Onni might also be manifesting as a owl simply because he can use his luonto much better than Lalli can and can therefore be aware of himself in his luonto soul as well... Or idk, maybe we'll get more info from Minna at some point...
