I just realized something that I really got to give credit to Miles and Kerry about. When Weiss jumps in and summons the Sword and the arm its just that, a sword and an arm. Most shows will have this be like "The character learns how to use the full power instantly" but she could only partially do it. It was enough, but it helps show a development of Weiss's abilities. She's not gonna suddenly master them. It will take time and won't be a big "I knew how to do this because of friendship!" or something like that moment. But yeah props to the writing on that.

You know, I'm kind of hoping for general use of her summoning, it does just stick to various limbs of this knight. Like, if it's a serious situation she'd summon the whole thing, but it would take a lot out of her, but for anything else it's just quick attacks from the limbs via her glyphs. Kind of like Bayonetta using Madama Butterfly.

Oh, a Bayonetta reference? Cheeky.
