I love that it's implied that Tarren, whoever they are, has made the elemental magus their test subject repeatedly. And will do so again. And that's really interesting. Why does Erin put up with this? Mr. "I don't want to end up on the wrong side of the microscope," is just letting this happen? What about Tarren doing it makes it okay? I have questions, hubris boy has answers, and I doubt he will share them but hey I can dream.

Tarren: you can give the ocean suggestions but you can't control it nor can you change the tides. Erin "no one has survived the storm because I haven't tried yet" "No matter what they want, we still get to choose!" "you're a problem and I'm going to solve you" Hubris McGee, vessel of the void dragon, Ruunaser: Something out of my control? what! I must fix that. Here's a big display of power to show that I am totally in control and not at all worried about anything.

I've only had Tarren for a day, but if anything happened to them, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.

Aurora doodle: Erin and Tarren

It's Erin and Tarren from @comicaurora! Ah, the duality of scientists. Doodled as a brain break during work, then redid digitally real quick.

Just for fun, a poll (not that I expect much reach Cx):

If you want to know the easiest way to figure out my favourite character in a piece of media: look for the mad scientist.

This doesn't always work, but it's surprisingly reliable.

#And no #Erin is not a mad scientist.#Aurora's mad scientist is Tarren #and they managed to weasel their way into tied first place within 4 pages.#Also I don't know what Falst is doing #I'm blaming the lacrima plot.

Loving Aurora in general, but want to call out one specific thing I esspecially love. As a disabled reader, I'm very glad to see disabled rep in Aurora. It's rare to see disabled characters in general, rarer to see them in a low tech fantasy setting, and even rarer still to see them in a low tech fantasy setting with healing magic. There's kinda an unspoken implication in a lot of stories with healing magic that disabled folk all get "fixed" (or in the cases that have disabled characters actually get "fixed", a very clearly spoken implication), and I'm happy that this isn't the case here and that people can just exist with a disability in the world. Looking forward to reading more as the story continues.

I'm really glad!

One of the things I wanted to do in this story was make sure healing followed something like hard magic rules, because if healing magic is too omnipotent and readily accessible, along with the dubious implications you mentioned, almost all the stakes of combat go away.

Because of the way a soul resists elemental magic, that means only fresh injuries can be readily healed, and anything that isn't a simple wound (like an illness or poisoning) might not be accessible to healing magic - and since it's basically refinement and accelleration of the body's natural healing, anything a body can't naturally heal on its own becomes much dicier.

A consequence of this is that it created a large space of circumstances in which an injury, illness or condition couldn't just be handwaved away. Dainix is down an eye, and rebuilding an eye isn't in the purview of standard healing magic, so he can't just get it reversed (and the fact that it exploded in soulfire the moment he lost it probably isn't helping). Tess is heavily scarred, and the injury is years old so it can't be magic'd away. Falst's own healing factor has the potential to screw him over by closing a wound too fast for it to be sterilized first.

The nature of Tarren's disability will be discussed in future pages, but the short of it is that they suffered from chronic water corruption for several years, resulting in widespread joint problems. Elemental corruption can be prevented and managed, but regardless of the cause - magical or mundane - slow-building, long-term weakening of their body can't just be magically reversed with the established rules of healing magic.

I like it when things make sense, and I'm glad people are liking Tarren!

[ID: A panel from the comic Aurora. Tarren, a mage with blue hair, a brace on their right knee, and using a crutch with their right hand, is standing in front of a shining, metallic boat and, from the glow in their hand, using magic to raise a wave of seawater. Erin is watching with interest. Tarren is saying, "What say we take it for a test drive?" End ID]

I am already planning my cosplay

Spoilers for the webcomic Aurora

I wanted to draw Tarren so I did!

Photo ID: Digital illustration of Tarren from the webcomic Aurora, they're faced in a side profile, looking just past the "camera", goggles on their forehead, and has their arms with the forearm cuffs for their crutches in front of them. End ID
