A fantasy webcomic. Updates M-W-F.

And in the center of the storm, where the six elements of magic come together, there was born the hero future generations would come to know as “Captain Planet”.
Only the Avatar, master of all six elements, could control it. But when the world needed him most…
(mild spoilers)
he started tearing chunks out of books
Water. Wind. Stone. Fire. Lightning. Life. Long ago, the nations of the world lived in harmony. Then, everything changed when the collector attacked. Only the elemental magus, master of all six elements could stop her. But when the world needed her most, she died. 130 years passed and my friend and I discovered the new elemental magus, an aseren named Erin. And although his magic skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he’s ready to save anyone. *shot of Erin being possessed*
Final Fantasy has trained me to deal with this kind of elemental chaos.
our grandparents went through that too everyday when they were going to school
I love this.
this has almost as many areas as there are pokemon types
no it doesn’t
There are 16 pokemon types:
Bug,
Dark,
Dragon,
Electric,
Fairy,
Fighting,
Fire,
Flying,
Ghost,
Grass,
Ground,
Ice,
Poison,
Psychic,
Rock,
And Water,
this storm has 6 sectors
I’ve done it!! I have managed to read All The Things in a single sitting.
I may be slightly dehydrated.
Six Flavors of Death is a mighty cool name for that magic-thingie XD
“The earth is hungry there” is probably the scariest phrase I’ve read in this comic so far.
Agreed. Also honorable mention for the name.
The collector is able to utilize both life and stone magic? Who is she?
Trouble, obviously. I exist, stage left, trying to dodge whatever is thrown my way out.
I like the design on the narration text boxes here – it feels like this is a collection of scattered pieces you’ve found and put together in the right order.
So… question. If theres a method of flight, whether magic or otherwise, brought along, cant someone just…fly through the Stone sector? Or (spoiler warning) will the corruption kick in too soon? Maybe and Wind-and-Stone mage could umi-zoomie through?
The Collectors minions, the Chimeric plague and now this. No wonder the life element is an flavour of death.
It’s pretty darn terrifying for a traditionally “good” power, interesting subversion.
TL;DR: The Big Zappy Storm has six sections, corresponding to the six elements, which are extremely territorial within the confines of the BZS. Lightning is the only one taking the “storm” thing seriously; Fire can’t decide if it wants to be a desert or a volcano; Wind has decided to stick with the “desert” option; Stone can’t make any decisions and keeps moving the furniture around; Water just wants a big lake; and Life sounds like a place which absolutely wouldn’t interfere with Alinua’s magic in a really horrible manner.
Wait, if it doesn’t move or rotate, how does it storm at all?
“Ah, so you’re heading to the six flavors of death.”
for context, the alt text
like “why do people even keep coming here if it’s just Six Flavors Of Death (incidentally also the name it is known as in the exalted culinary halls of Kraz-Ulna)”?
What is your favourite flavour?
Me: personality.
I thought the other two would be light and shadows like in KOTLC
They explain the deal, ’cause it isn’t very hard
But this storm is weird, the way with elements barred
It must be a huge pain in the ass when coming up with an elemental storm to think of something that satisfyingly represents the “Earth” element. Like, uh oh y’all it’s raining boulders! 😂
Yay, lore-dump!
Oh it’s *not* a highstorm.
It’s *way* cooler.
(Possibly even more Invested.)
