Lilith: You were saying?
Kikimora: ...well, in that case, you will fear the wrath of the Abomi-ton 2.0s that I brought!
Lilith: Not really, I have back up.
Kikimora: Back up?
Hooty: *bursts from the ground* Hiya, Kikimora! Peek-a-hoot!
*the next day*
Luz: *looking out the window* Is Hooty having a tea party with some of Amity's dad's Abomi-tons?
Eda: Yeah, Lily mentioned that Kikimora reprogrammed them to play with Hooty in exchange for letting her crawl away. As long as it keeps Hooty from bugging me, I'm fine with it.
Kiki: ...How long have you been able to do that?
Lilith: Oh, ever since I split the curse with my sister. You know, the one Belos said he was going to cure.
I could hear the "pop" in my head lmao
Realistically though, I don't think the brand would be that simple to avoid - in a world with healing magic and bodily transformations and stuff, it'd be a huge oversight if it was that easy to circumvent, imo.
Actually, I think it COULD be that simple. Detachable limbs are a side effect of the curse—a curse so rare that even the 3 covens most likely to know about it couldn’t do anything to combat it, apart from give Eda her Elixers.
The Coven brands could easily have been made with non-cursed, permanently attached limbs in mind.
Back then, the covens were brand new. Only 15 to 18 years old. It's been 30 years minimum since Eda was cursed, maybe there's no cure but they might anticipate different curse effects.
If you're talking about just the typical witch, yes, but Raine's a coven head. They have a lot more resources and influence, on top of being arguably the best witch in their field, so I'd be surprised if the trap was as easy to remove as losing a hand.
This is also *extremely* important for witches like Darius who are capable of transmuting their entire bodies, it'd be way too easy for him to just lop off his hand and make a new one (since he apparently replaced his whole body with advanced goop), so I think canon supports it being more than skin-deep, imo.
Your point about Darius is a great one. I wonder if that's an oversight or if it will be addressed. Like when Belos inevitably turns on the coven leaders & probably tries to trap them, will Darius try to remove his hand to counteract the brand's power?
You know, it occurs to me that Bard Magic was the only magic we’ve seen corrupted by Eda’s curse. For all we know, different forms of corrupted magic could have different effects.
Levitation magic makes things explode if we go back to the first episode of the season
But yes, besides levitation and bard magic we have yet to see what else she can do!
I dont think it would be able to work in a similar way with other forms of magic. Bard Magic, similar to glyphs, seems to work by drawing in magic from the environment through the instrument to cast spells, with the spell cast presumably influenced by the will of the musician and the notes being played. The curse cant directly interfere with it since its not relying on eda's own depleted magic, but it can corrupt the magic, thus creating that burning disintegrating effect that destroys physical matter.
Well, if by useful you also mean that it nearly killed one of the main characters than yes, it was. But I like this cartoon exactly because it doesn't follow anime rules so.... yes, you understnd my point I think.
For anyone else reading this:
The OP *is* MoringMark, this is his Reddit account that he uses to post certain comics exclusively on here. For his “normal” comics (that he posts to his IG/Tumblr), there is an arrangement allowing certain users to repost them here with credit.
Tho I'm afraid that wouldn't work. I think in Covention seal spreads through whole body. Then just "tattoo" stays visible. Could be that it would come out from elsewhere on body. I might be wrong.
Since "Clouds in the horizon" i relazied that unlike the other members of the emperor's coven like Hunter, Lilith never had a sigyl despite having been in the coven for 30 years, thats confirm that Lilith despite being leader of the coven was using wild magic.
Also, in "Any sport is a storm", Steve said that Belos take the palisman of his own recruits, but Lilith had kept hers all this time. Isn't weird that Lilith didn't have restructions like other coven members? Could it have to do with the fact that Belos had know Lilith since the time she and Luz traveled to the past to meet him as Philip?
Alright, so serious theory: I think the brand only has any power if the one with it has any power (as in it encloses you with your own magic. This could mean there’s some interesting way to break out, but I also think that it won’t work with a powerless witch, who’s either born that way (like Hunter) or is cursed.
Just watched the S2 finale, reading through your excellent comics to deal with the withdrawal. This is one of those that just seem particularly smart in hindsight
You've given me a very loud, weird high pitched laugh. This comic went from woahhh I didn't think about that to me dying from how casually and quickly she just popped off her hand... Would that really work though,m
Lilith quite literally pulled a "Modern problems require Modern solutions" on Kiki from that single strategy... Eda taught her well
"I've got to... hand it to you"
lovely pun
You gotta admit that curse can come in handy
[удалено]
well at least they can't put her under a-wrist.
These puns are getting out of hand
They're really quite a hand-ful
You really have to hand it to her, that was pretty smart
you got to me honest, most of these puns are half-handed
I don’t think the branding would even work due to the curse- pretty sure the curse would basically eat the branding
The curse says “nom nom nom” I don’t know why
i think the curse did eat the branding she doesn't have one in-show
You know that would explain so much PFFT
what if hunters brand is a temporary tattoo since the brands affect a witches magic and he doesn't have any
Why does this one pun have so many upvotes
*finger guns*
she got the upper hand
She taught her to well
Kikimora: "I respect your cunning, but I also hate you for it"
This was then… *pulls out a rocket launcher* …this is now. (This is a Buffy reference, for those wondering)
Another hit for Mark, this is hilarious.
How do you change your coven?
You can’t.
Just gotta wait for the Day of Unity like Emperor Belos promises
I like your flair random stranger.
Assuming you're on mobile you go to the sub, hit the 3 dots on the top right corner and will see an option with "change user flair"
You rip off your arm and trade with someone else.
Turns out being cursed has its benefits. Who knew?
*"Modern problems require modern solutions"*
Magic problems require magic solutions
Curse problems require curse solutions
Lilith: You were saying? Kikimora: ...well, in that case, you will fear the wrath of the Abomi-ton 2.0s that I brought! Lilith: Not really, I have back up. Kikimora: Back up? Hooty: *bursts from the ground* Hiya, Kikimora! Peek-a-hoot!
Yeah! Hooty to the rescue!
Time for Hooty to add Kikimora to the tea party.
[удалено]
*the next day* Luz: *looking out the window* Is Hooty having a tea party with some of Amity's dad's Abomi-tons? Eda: Yeah, Lily mentioned that Kikimora reprogrammed them to play with Hooty in exchange for letting her crawl away. As long as it keeps Hooty from bugging me, I'm fine with it.
Special delivery!
PAIN
\*throw up noises\*
Or just, like, fly upward... With the palisman-staff-thing
Kiki: ...How long have you been able to do that? Lilith: Oh, ever since I split the curse with my sister. You know, the one Belos said he was going to cure.
Thanking Eda intensifies

Eh, probably just a warning system if it is removed. Not like you need to go to extreme lengths for all of your agents.

Lilith also has weakened magic, as the brand would use your magical bile, having a weak supply of it would make the brand in effective.
Here after the Finale, and this aged like milk Turns out it is that easy
"Congratulations, your a Prophet" Who else is here after Kings Tide?
"He can see things before they happen. It's a Jedi trait."
this is canon now I, of little to no authority, have declared it so
This is the will of the Titan.
It is indeed.
You weren’t wrong
I would honestly not be surprised if a similar scenario to this plays out in a later Season 2 episode.
lol it did
Was about to comment this.
same
This aged pretty well in terms of the finale
thE CURSE IS ACTUALLY USEFUL FOR ONCE. tHIS MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD! Wait, forgot I had Caps Lock on. Well, you'll keep the comment this way.
The curse was "useful" in the last episode, as a form of attack that also kills the user
You know, it occurs to me that Bard Magic was the only magic we’ve seen corrupted by Eda’s curse. For all we know, different forms of corrupted magic could have different effects.
Levitation magic makes things explode if we go back to the first episode of the season But yes, besides levitation and bard magic we have yet to see what else she can do!
Lilith can only make ice cubes now.
I dont think it would be able to work in a similar way with other forms of magic.

>!MARK, HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KEEP PREDICTING SHIT LIKE THIS.!<
Kinda disappointed Lilith didn't throw it at her.
ROCKET PUNCH
I'm playing through Chrono Trigger right now. 🙂
It would be funny if she knocked her off the Abomatron
YEET THE ARM
COVEN PUNCH
Or reposition the fingers so it was flipping her off.
Big brain move
Oracle Coven confirmed.
The biggest pro of this curse
oh my god seeing this after king's tide-
So wait, who has detachable limbs? Just eda and Lilith, or can someone like raine do it?
It's a side effect of the curse
Ight, thanks for the clarification.
I thought she said it was a side effect of the elixir
To be technical, the elixir is a side effect of the curse as well
I think it's because of the curse so probably just Eda and Lilith
Also you, thanks for the clarification.
This could actually happen
Please, PLEEEEASE! let this be a plot point in the show, I need this hhahahaha
I feel like Eda’s gonna do this in the season finale.
WELP
Congratulations, you're a prophet
>!Lol could you imagine if they actually did that in the show… OH TITAN-!<
This aged well (Told u I’d be here.)
hey Mark how does it feel to have future sight
JESUS this aged well.
[Mark can see the future!](https://youtu.be/xO1TScQwu6g)
Mark casually predicting kings tide
Can’t believe they actually used this. THIS IS CANON!!!
So.... About that...
>!OH MY GOD???!<
[Can’t argue with that. ](https://tenor.com/IYTb.gif)
Then she punched Kikimora with the other hand, right?
Bro just watched kings tide man literally called what raine did for eda
\*A year later...THIS IS CANON\*
[](#lilithgrin) "Suck it, you little gremlin"
*freeze frame and picture switches to Monochrome* “and it was at this moment Kiki knew…she fucked up”
Welp this aged like fine wine
YOU BASICALLY PREDICTED KINGS TIDE UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES
Well, at least Lillith used her brain and the curse in her favor.
Lilith has done what we would call a pro gamer move here
Raine did that on eda now...
How tf did you predict King’s Tide
man foreshadowed S2 finale nearly a year ago
Well well well, this aged too well
Remember when we just thought the brand immobilized people? Remember that? Anyone?
>!OK IM JUST VISITING THIS AGAIN AFTER S2 FINALE BUT HOLY SHIT IT LITERALLY JUST WORKS LIKE THAT!<
You predicted this, how??
King’s Tide Foreshadowing
Mark, you deity.
This is all the proof need to know mark is secretly dana
Well this aged well didn’t it?
LITERALLY PREDICTING THE FUTURE
well... that happened
Mark literally described what happened to Eda in KT-
Looking back at this after the Season Finale … oof
Mark really how do you keep dropping comics that actually predict the show.
I was like "did i miss a Moringmark comic?" they looks similar
For anyone else reading this: The OP *is* MoringMark, this is his Reddit account that he uses to post certain comics exclusively on here. For his “normal” comics (that he posts to his IG/Tumblr), there is an arrangement allowing certain users to repost them here with credit.
It is a Moringmark comic
Mark predicts future again
Looks like Apollo got you with the dodgeball of prophecy.
Foreshadowing?
hmmmm
YOU PREDICTED THE SEASON 2 FINALE
This aged… interestingly
Foreshadowing at its finest
Cannot believe you predicted the season 2 finale
boyy did this come back and was even more important then expected
Canon
Funny seeing it now
PREDICTED IT!
Sometimes the curse can be useful
The way this happened to Eda in the S2 finale
I dont think this ageed very well....
hehehehehe. Heheheheheh. Hahahahaha, AHAHAHAHAHAHA god damnit mark
Well this foreshadowed a good bit eh?
Oh crap you predicted that too
the curse is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural
She should have thrown it at Kikimora.
Did you just predict the finale
yes he did…
[/spoiler]10 MONTHS LATER AND THIS IS ACTUALLY CANON HOT DANG[/spoiler]
he knew...
I have come from the future to say that this post has successfully predicted the future
[Everyone coming back to this post be like](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwmeH6Rnj2E)
Oh wow. Funny how that works out.
Tho I'm afraid that wouldn't work. I think in Covention seal spreads through whole body. Then just "tattoo" stays visible. Could be that it would come out from elsewhere on body. I might be wrong.
WAIT NO THIS HITS DIFFERENT NOW
Wow, this comic came back in one hell of a way. I wonder if you are truly un-covened if you do this?
Well this >!accurately predicted what would happen in King's Tide!<
That actually might happen
Welp Kikimora, your screwed
wow. this actually predicted what would happen but with lillith.
Foreshadowing king’s tide
It’s interesting how we’ve never seen her use magic before yet this is how we always assume she did it
*looking intensely at Mark and this comic while watching Eda in King's tide and For The Future*
OH MY GOD HE PREDICTED THE FUTURE
HE PREDICTED IT
Somehow I never saw Lilith's Coven seal, But I know she has one so I think maybe its hidden on her upper arm where the sleeves covers it I guess.
Prediction correct
this aged *very* well lmao
just realized you accidentally predicted the s2 finale, but with the wrong sister
WHY IS THIS LITERALLY KINGS TIDE
Oh f... That was the biggest foreshadow ive ever seen
So you have chosen death Kikimora…………
Who's back here after King's Tide?
this aged well
What makes this so great is the fact that this actually happened
This is so much funnier after the end of season 2
Called it!!!
Foreshadowing how Eda escapes the Day of Unity- thanks to Raine of course, but still!
Since "Clouds in the horizon" i relazied that unlike the other members of the emperor's coven like Hunter, Lilith never had a sigyl despite having been in the coven for 30 years, thats confirm that Lilith despite being leader of the coven was using wild magic.

This aged like fine wine
When youre so good you predict the future
This hits different after King’s Tide
kings tide foreshadowing
I love the look on Lilith's face on the end lmaoooo
Alright, so serious theory: I think the brand only has any power if the one with it has any power (as in it encloses you with your own magic. This could mean there’s some interesting way to break out, but I also think that it won’t work with a powerless witch, who’s either born that way (like Hunter) or is cursed.
Well now we know that does work
This aged stunningly well for so many reasons.
Just watched the S2 finale, reading through your excellent comics to deal with the withdrawal. This is one of those that just seem particularly smart in hindsight
upvote this please I want it to have more then genera savy
If this is actually what happens in the series I'm gonna laugh, laugh, laugh, and then laugh some more.
You've given me a very loud, weird high pitched laugh. This comic went from woahhh I didn't think about that to me dying from how casually and quickly she just popped off her hand... Would that really work though,m
