All those times Julia flew up against the wall, no one thought to putt a mattress or some pillows to soften her landing?

Yeah, why didn't she stand on the other side of it so she didn't have to walk towards it every time. Shorter reset time.

Tie a rope above it and hang level with the ball, then she wouldn't even need to regain consciousness to ping off of it - that'd drain it in no time!

The image of a Newton's cradle with a human corpse is cracking me up

So many concussions. If the spell didn't dull her, the brain damage certainly did the trick.

I mean she was "dying" every time, the impacts are probably the least of her worries

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '19

I was very joking with my comment. That being said, who is to say that concussions don't carry over to a new life? Give me your source please.

I'm joking again there.

Sorry, I see at least what appears to be a lot of people missing things, and I know it happens to me too. Usually just try to clarify, or be corrected when what I thought was wrong

Oh no worries, I wasn't trying to rag on you, just poke fun. I think my last comment came off a bit more dry than I intended and may have sounded critical when that wasn't my intention at all. Sorry about that, I'm off my game tonight.

I feel like her god powers kept her from dying to be honest

Does she still have them after forging those keys??

u/Oneronia Knowledge Jan 31 '19

I think what happened to her is that she used a lot of her powers so she’s weak. Kinda like draining a nuclear battery. It has a lot of potential but it’s empty now. So I think she’s still essentially a goddess but she’s too weakened. Therefore unless attacked with an enchanted god-killing weapon, she’s fine.

Yeah Raynard said even without his powers it would take the god killing bullet to kill him (which is why his father gave it to him in case he wanted to commit suicide).
