“You risk death [to] have a brief connection to magic?”
Two, for everyone else, unless we’re about to have a flashback over to Jen and her trial and then a long piece where she catches up and ends up here to cast an illusion of herself to draw Maga’s ire… that’s not Jen. So who is casting glamours on Maga for our party’s behest?
Unless it is Jen, people on the edge of death like Maga, are haunted by the voices of their dead friends and enemies. Jen could be far enough into the grave, to actually be contacting Maga.
I think the magic immunity can be shut off to access magic again (maybe the shroud picks up on his preference), sort of like dropping an anti-magic field for a split second – but doing so means the curse that was killing him gets turned on again for a split second, too.
I certainly hope we get to see the results of Jen’s “trial”. Sevasti was damn annoying (not to mention she pretty much murdered Ukarin), and I want to see her get her butt kicked.
Humph deactivated the Shroud momentarily in panel one to create a blade to stop Maga from killing Weyland.
Thus, scene two, Humphrey is reactivating the Shroud, but while it was turned off, he started to die. Maga can see this, comments on it and notes that she tried to use the Hero Power to heal herself even as the Bond-Curse was killing her.
Good timing on the taunt! Getting Maga out of here is definitely a good call. Related note, is there such a thing as magical therapy in this universe?
Don’t know, but by this point given the people we’ve met I’m on board with just sitting back and letting the dragon eat the universes.
Two things, the first to Aaron:

Or it’s just the narrative magic forcing things back on the railroad again.
Humphrey should be immune to magic, though… which logically means that he should be immune to plot armour, canonically caused by magic. Right?
I think you’re underestimating how much mass narrativium has. That stuff twists black holes into knots if needed for the plot.

Yeah, I’m thinking this is ghost Jen with a power assist from Hilda so she can manifest enough to be visible to Maga.

I’m afraid nothing in frame 2 made sence.

Make sense now?
What I don’t get is that Maga is dead, kept animate by (holy) magic. Maga is within the shroud’s anti-magic radius. Why isn’t she dead-dead now?
The Shroud’s current anti-magic radius seems very small, mostly Humphrey himself, otherwise Maga’s sword wouldn’t work.
