#info: mc

You can already reveal it, in fact! When you negotiate with D/G/A for their help in "fleeing" the "furious" Gray Regent, the option is there on the "I had a change of heart and no longer wish to work for Y" path. It's a decision with long-term implications, and already impacts certain conversations, in different ways with different characters.

Choosing magic seems to prevent getting injured during the fight, no matter the choices you make otherwise.

Is this intentional?

I went back and chose daggers instead, because I liked Y's reaction to injured MC.

Spoiler-free wrt the update, so I'll take this question now. Yes, it is intentional for the magic path because of where all the parties are physically in that scene: Arthur breaks them apart instead of, as it happens on the weapon path, putting himself in the middle and effectively blocking the MC's line of sight 😬

Thank you!

i scrolled waaay down to the first post on your blog and was reading my way back up, when i found this poll "Are you playing as a mage or a non-mage?". i know its quite old, but i hope i can still share my thoughts/answer. i would have chosen the non-mage option. my thoughts during the choice ingame was: well, the mage hunters may be resistant/immune against magic, but a good pair of daggers still hurt them the same...

i wouldnt call my MC a non-mage. i think a more fitting class name for her would be spellblade or more fitting a arcane trickster (from D&D). in my head she would still mainly use her twin daggers, but would at the same time use their force/telekinesis magic to cause inconveniences for her enemies: an enemy is standing on a rug? use her magic to pull the rug away, then attack them while they are on the ground see an enemy close to a tree? slap them with a branch via magic and use the distraction to attack. need to distract a guard during an infiltration or steal somehting (a coin purse perhaps)? use telekinesis to solve your problem [why does this sound like an ad for telekinesis??]

i guess i also have a question: in all IF´s ive played, which also had the option to choose between weapons or magic, during fight scene you were only able to choose between using your weapons (and 0 magic) OR using your magic (and 0 weapons). do you maybe plan to add an option during a fight, where MC will mainly fight with their weapon/magic, but still uses a bit of magic/a weapon?

thank you for your answer.

I think I mentioned it before (but it will be difficult to find among all the posts) that it will be possible to come up with a blend of telekinesis and a weapon for a fighting style. You should be able to arrive at it from either end and eventually use both in varying proportions.
