As far as i know there are 3 possibilities to Baam's spell immunity/destruction.
#1. All irregulars are naturally immune to spells due to the rules of the tower not applying to them -- This holds some weight on its own, and likely wouldnt be broadcast as an ability by them, so few would know of...
putting my thoughts in order, possible conclusion(s) at end.
1. FUG is not afraid of hiding in the shadows, so a "middle ground" group that is secretly controlled by them sounds plausible.
2. We know Krapface hates the 10 families(ofc), so likely the group is related to what pissed him off...
Problem with that is that we know the red witches existed prior to Enryu showing up. I wouldnt be surprised if all precog powers are linked to a single source, but its not Enryu.
Your a bit wrong on a few things, to start with the original karaka/yuri fight she held back a TON even states so...
I realize this is a bit of a late reply, but we know of one princess certainly that fought a "high level ranker" which means either advanced or an actual high ranker as a regular..and won. So yes while certainly rare for non princesses/10 families to be able to do this there HAVE been...
I really dont get how people thing there is still debate about baam being ranker level. End of season 2 he was 1 hitting multiple C rank regulars(presumed to be cream of the crop C ranks) like a joke. No items, no thorn. WITH BM+thorn he was clearly Advanced ranker level if not low tier high...
Ok i think a few things are missing..and kinda way off topic. so to start with the off topic stuff.
Baam starts super weak. That is undeniable, at the same time he has worked really hard to improve his "base" stats. This is why he can use the thorn(s) for longer now. Is he unaided stronger than...
Yeah as i said above cannon its HR, thus far there have been some comments about her beauty in a "jealous" type situation. but nothing major related to it.
Honestly i think you mostly hit it on the head, Mazino imo is not an "important" character or at least not as important as he could be despite his over whelming power. While its still clearly going to be several "leaps" in power till baam can just laugh at high rankers... He is clearly in a...
well HR...if you go with the "official" line...
But id say tossup between Yuri(who has been my fav character since day one, such a BAMF) or Elaine all of her artwork is just...gorgeous. Though props to Yeon when she goes all inferno on the train, that artwork was amazing, and she looked great.
Two things about spells:
Spells come in grades
Spells require a "contract" much like shinsoo with a powerful being, the more powerful the being, the more powerful the spell.
Which leaves 3 scenarios, one is that the spell that brought baam to life is higher grade than the spells question mark...
