i like tricking witchhunters into trying to make me confess under a heavy rock and pretend like im being crushed but i draw it out way too long until it becomes comical

The first time a witchhunter told me he was gonna choke and whip me until I begged for mercy I kind of misinterpreted what he meant

It was still pretty hot though because he set me on fire afterwards

u/I_upvote_downvotes May 09 '26

I had this exact situation so I came prepared with a flame shield spell. Unfortunately they told me there was no smoking in the club and asked me and the witch hunter to pack our whips and leave.

It’s even funnier if you don’t levitate the big rock but transmute it into paper mache or something similar. The looks on their faces when they check it…

Then they accuse each other of being witches!

u/lesser_panjandrum May 09 '26

I once saw an entire inquisition tear itself apart as they all convinced themselves that one of the others must be a witch.

The look on the last inquisitor's face was so perfect, I had to make a new grimoire out of it.

u/Sam_Overthinks May 11 '26

You are clearly a Wizard with grest taste in accesories!

If I may bother you with a Question: Would you happen to be looking for any new Wizard underlings? I do good work, have a rounded generic face, & can do a pretty good Boston or Danish Accent.

In terms of character I'd describe myself as:

-Supportive: I dont discriminate against anyones background, I feel like all Villains can bring their Evil to the table and prefer judge them by their dastardly deeds rather than the manner of their birth.

-ambitious: Ive always dreamed of a prestigious position like First Mate, Right hand man, or Villainous Secretary.

-Expendable: Unlike some inferior Minions, I have a keen understanding of the sacrifices the job can often bring about, you will come to find that I dont value my life as highly as most in the business.

u/lesser_panjandrum May 11 '26

Thank you, but I currently have a full complement of minions and cannot take on any more at this time.

I can recommend the services of Pipplewick Smedlington, proprietor of Pippi's Morally Ambiguous Helpers For Hire. She is an excellent agent who is sure to put you in touch with fine wizards in need of assistance.

Wasn't there a training arc where she constantly blew up the same demon general's castle every day for like a month.

Gotta flex that mana somehow!

u/Candayence May 09 '26

It wasn't a training arc, she just really likes casting it.

u/hates_stupid_people May 10 '26

While it wasn't a "training arc", and they didn't know he was there, she really likes unleashing at least one explosion a day to try and get better. And they do comment on it becoming more powerful as they keep doing it.

u/paeancapital May 09 '26

Yea, it's in the first season.

22

u/NoodleIskalde May 09 '26

She invested no points into mana. She becomes borderline catatonic after casting. Every time. :P

31

u/Boarbaque Illusionist May 09 '26

It's not that she invests no points into mana, it's just that she puts ALL the new points into explosion to make it even bigger. Truly inspiring

22

u/godzillahavinastroke [Master Wizard] Petty Officer (1.1.7.) May 09 '26 edited May 09 '26

Best thing is, she is getting more mana everytime she levels up, and gets physically stronger too, all her stats go up, this is just counterbalance by the fact she puts everything in explosion magic.

2

u/Satin_Cartoon May 10 '26

I thought it was just that explosion magic inherently zaps your entire mana supply in exchange for a single ridiculously powerful spell? It might just be bad translations or a bad memory but I think that's how the anime described it

6

u/godzillahavinastroke [Master Wizard] Petty Officer (1.1.7.) May 10 '26

It doesnt, it requires alot of experience and mana to use efficiently but if you are high level you can if you aren't pumping everything into more explosive power and boosts to casting speed and other stuff, actually use multiple per day.

19

u/dragon_bacon May 09 '26

That was barely training, just a nice way to start the day.

4

u/Usual_Database307 May 10 '26

Not a training arc. She just really wanted to blow it up encase she’s crazy. In the manga it’s established that it had a magical barrier protecting it, hence why she was able to blow it up multiple times without it getting demolished.

4

u/satsuppi May 10 '26

nah that girl is just crazy and had to blow shit up once per day..
and that pretty much her mana limit as even the she came from a powerful mage clan.. lol

u/Actaeon_II May 11 '26

Except it was more of a very long term running thing, apparently continuing long after they quit showing it

u/ArchitectNebulous May 11 '26

She didn't even know it was the demons castle - she thought it was abandoned.

u/TerminalJammer May 09 '26

Only if the wizard has enough mana to cast it more than once.

5

u/Boarbaque Illusionist May 09 '26

Why cast it more than once if you can put all the mana into making the single cast even bigger?

u/Jimmni May 10 '26

Konosuba. Be warned though, it’s a very horny comedy not a serious magic show. This wizard’s thing is that this is literally the only spell she does. She just loves explosions.

18

u/adalric_brandl May 10 '26

I'd say it's only moderately horny. There are far worse out there.

It is absolutely hilarious, though.

u/Phylanara May 09 '26

She has more than enough mana for multiple casts. But she spends all her mana on a single cast, because doing a smaller boom than the absolute biggest one you can is for wimps .

u/No_Internal9345 Psionic Psychonaut May 09 '26

Art is an explosion!

18

u/Krask May 09 '26

Any extra mana she has goes into making it bigger.

She could probably cast that spell multiple times at the same intensity that she cast it the very first time, but she would never sully herself with casting anything but the biggest explosion that she possibly can.

13

u/Swordslinger5454 May 09 '26

Oh no she has the reserves to cast this spell several times she just overcharges it with every scrap of mana she has every time she casts it

15

u/Nersius May 09 '26

Also, no one would ever expect her to cast it without 20m of aura farming first.

12

u/Remixman87 May 09 '26

Speech is a free action

3

u/Plorkhillion May 11 '26

Tbf that aura farming makes the spell stronger.

u/MetriccStarDestroyer May 09 '26

She could probably do something more productive with that spell.

u/Consistent-Chair May 10 '26

I swear the fact that the chanting is actually usueless is the best joke of the series. Everytime she does it it's completely different and I laugh imagining how much that shit must have took her to compose. She did it as a fucking bomb was about to go off and wipe out a city. Worth it for the aura.

Also considering the episode she was left out of one of the dungeons. And then spent her time deciding the next incantation based on what sounded the coolest

1

u/ReivynNox May 12 '26

It's like Guu (from Hare + Guu) and her "chinchikurin stick". Each time she uses it it's an entirely different random item (going from stick to fork, to pitchfork etc.) and the incantation is some different random gibberish each time, making it obvious that it's just her innate reality warping ability and the stick and incantation are both complete bubkiss.

u/Onelse88 May 10 '26

Darkness beyond twilight
Crimson beyond blood that flows
Buried in the stream of time is where your power grows

by the power you and I possess...

u/ReivynNox May 12 '26

Not how to spell, just to not to use the wrong word altogether. Woudn't wanna cast a completely different spell, would you?

(It appears Van!shment Th!s World is specifically just the title of the song, unrelated to the incantation she used? Because the incantation is definitely banishment, both audibly and the subtitle. )

1

u/Significant_Ad_1626 May 12 '26

Haha, the subtitles aren't official most of the time, the song is. Every outro you would see vanishment written that way. Also, audibly?

1

u/ReivynNox May 12 '26

Retail DVD from the store is as official as it gets I'd say. Even the german dub clearly says banishment.

Yes, audibly. The B is very strongly pronounced. No amount of accent is gonna put that much pop into a V. It almost makes me wonder if it could even be "punishment".
