[OVER VARIOUS COMPETITORS' PDAS, EXCLUDING GENSOKYO RESIDENTS]

All right, competitors. We will be fighting against each other in the ring, but until that moment, I am still your ally, and I wish to see you all fighting your best. Therefore, I am offering a quick crash course in creating and using your own spellcards. I would highly recommend taking this, as I will not be offering an other opportunity. Feel free to swing by the Simulation Chamber in the next few hours, and I will do what I can.

[ACTION]

One competitor, at least, has already joined up; Kitaro can be seeing trying out some patterns, though they're still obviously not very high quality. Observers might note he's slightly tense around Ran, though Ran is doing her best in spite of it as far as coaching him.

Oh, that's quite an interesting technique you are using there! And that speed will certainly increase the difficulty of your getting hit in return. Very impressive!

She makes a note not to memorize; no sense in developing an advantage too early.

Still, at some point you will need to generate your own attacks. There is only so much extraneous debris, after all.

Well, I'll just have to find a way around that, won't I?

[NiGHTS was new at this, but he'd have to try and use an attack like theirs. He thought back to his fight with Reala, and how his brother had managed to summon those baloons. Maybe he could do something like that too?]

[He tried his hardest, and soccer-ball sized purple orbs rained down from the sky and exploded as they hit the ground. The attack was weak, but surely he could develop this a bit more.]

Well, it looks like I just need to practice a bit more.

Perhaps, but that's a good start. If you can focus those explosions to send out further smaller bullets, that could cause a real crimp in the opponent's plans.

So it would help to focus on number rather then size? Amazing!

[NiGHTS had seen ballons that were bigger then him before, but he had a feeling that he wasn't quite powerful enough to do something like that. Actually, Ran's suggestion was probably a good idea.]

Size can be utilized, but number is typically better, and capable of much more graceful patterns. I have heard of size being used very effectively, however. Lady Yukari told me once the Hell Raven of the Underground used quite large danmaku in her attacks.

Aren't spell cards supposed to be graceful? It hardly seems right to do something aside from that.

[faithfultenko.livejournal.com]

Theoretically, but some people aren't exactly graceful people.
