very pleased by zhe idea of adding a coilgun armature to my currently-entirely-magical signature bow, just in case my magic cuts out (which it does a lot) and i can fall back to trusty aluminium rod

its a lot less nuanced and sophisticated zhan my normal approach to combat, sure, but you are certaintly not immune to aluminium rod

just very amused by zhe very-nonlezhal purely-status-effect-deluge bow, highly refined and finetuned over many many iterations, being flipped upsidedown to just reveal a fuckin steampunky coilgun wizh exposed solenoids practically taped to zhe bottom

i kinda shy away from making characters like, video game protagonists with bespoke movesets and things like that but Birdy Egrets would definitely have a staff i think

not like as a mage magic channeling thing. big stick. bonk things with it

big stick is a very good tool

yeaaah i didnt mean to make myself into a full fuckin video game protagonist like zhis but i gave myself exactly one weird game mechanic trait and it all spiralled from zhere lmao

oh yeah it kind of falls through from like, some students waaaaaaaaaay back in HS who did martial arts did a demonstration once and i can't even remember the name of the school or style that did it but one of them was just having wooden sticks and getting absolutely sick with being able to spin them around and do all sorts of incredible shows of dexterity with them and i've loved them ever since as their own thing and not just like, decorations for wizards

anyway idk you should probably ignore me grumping about the video game thing i just got annoyed because i read a lot of refs/bios in the last few days that read like game stat sheets or skill tree builds and got annoyed about it because i don't really care about any of that, like, tell me what kind of coffee you drink or what your favourite diode is or something idk

it's just very specific annoyed brainworms that leaked out for a second

laser diode for sure
im not much of an electronics bird but i do a lot of networking and connecting devices to other devices and fibre optic links are very important and cool

(i don't get to play with any of the equipment fancy enough to have fibre optics coupled to lasers though)
