even if he's not able to go to the Dreamworld for now, there are tons of nightmare creatures in the real world for him to demolish. he could also have another saint bring him back and forth so he can get the feeling and maybe figure out how to do it himself... I'm more interested in seeing how things turn out with Neph right now compared to abilities. it would suck a little if he went back to being lonely and solo.
Iām waiting to see if his Saint Transformation will allow his shadows and himself to āwearā the shadows within his soul sea the way the Serpent can, vastly upgrading his previous pseudo-transformation and allowing him to basically have up to 8 selves (7 shadows + original) all at the Saint level and all using shadow dance to become monsters that can be entirely different from one another to create perfect cooperation and teamwork between what are basically 7-8 separate Saints.
I am good with this development. He will now be forced to learn more about how to use his abilities than others are, so he will be better at it. His transformation ability also seems like it will greatly help him in learning anything he wants to learn. For example, assigning each of them a task, like learning more about weaving memories. Another one can learn more about runes. Another one can be continuously practicing and learning more about how to use his abilities and everything without the help from the spell. Things like thatš¤·. Oh! and have another to write more research papers to get paid šš¤£ that is a long gruelling job that I bet he wants to dump on gloomy šš¤£
Oh wow His Transformation Ability is actual terrifying if it not only makes him the center of a hive mind (because each shadow has its own personality and is capable of self-autonomy) but also copies over any memories his main self is wielding. Unless the reason they all have the onyx shell is because itās soulbound, in which case they can copy soulbound items (which Iām hoping he makes a weapon or charm form of, a soulbound essence replenishment charm would be AWESOME), but likely can also equip memories themselves as they will, which is againā¦ terrifying. Other saints gain maybe a x2 or x1.5 boost in power by taking an unfamiliar form requiring whole new battle methodsā¦ Sunny directly gets the power of multiple saints with perfect teamwork as a force multiplier on top of it.
Ok that is busted , what if the shadow can also shapeshift. So you will have to fight a sea serpent ,a giant butterfly, a demon with four arm , and 4 other saints? But the downside would be that sunny can not angment itself but stil. Can the shadow talk ? Can they lie? Or maybe they can take a female or male body shape ? What about weaver mask ? Bro is gonna be the most confusing saint in the world if not the strongest
But the question still is, is Sunless still Shadow Bonded? Considering the bond was part of his aspect, I don't have high hopes. Frankly to me, it never smeamed being connected to the spell was the problem. It was the Shadow Bond that was the problem. So Sunless had very well got the wrong separation he wanted.
The combat potential here is crazy and I'm sure we all agree as long as they get the same memories and access to abilities sunny has. Not only that! The story potential is amazing too. Imagine a clone of sunny but with the shadow's personality. Happy sunny, arrogant? even creepy(ier?) sunny! man this is gonna be so great. Author only knows how to cook š„
