Galaxia passive aura

“It’s a cycle,” Venus said, even her mental voice strained. “It’s all about timing. The gravity is meant to stop and push away anyone in close range, but it’s when she’s most vulnerable to magical attacks. It’s followed up by that dead zone trick, which is the only time that warriors can approach. That flood of wild magic disrupts any spells that are still in place or are used while it’s up, and then that lightshow hits everyone nearby. Mages are only effective in the first and maybe last stage and have to target her during that time, then Warriors need to use the dead period to approach and attack during it and while the wild magic is in effect, and then withdraw quickly before the light hits. If I’m right, the cycle’s length should be consistent. Mercury?”

“It’s hard to scan her, even with the Mercury Computer, but I think you’re right,” Mercury replied. “The first two stages seem to be the same length, and the third and fourth are shorter, but should be the same as well. I suspect it’s about how much damage can be inflicted by mages in the first period and warriors in the second, and the third and fourth stages are to put any attacks on the defensive—hitting her hard enough might extend the first two steps. The wild magic didn’t seem dangerous on its own, but then, she didn’t cast any spells at us during that time, either.”

“She didn’t…?” Jupiter asked.

Venus’ laughter resounded through her thoughts then, but it was clear she didn’t find this fun.

“That bitch isn’t even doing anything,” Venus confirmed. “She’s just using her passive aura to throw us around—it’s really starting to piss me off.”
