Agree with you, RumplesGirl. ^^ “those spells that have consequences almost written into them”, love this sentence :ugeek:
But when someone looses his arm, that arm is dead. Re attach it should be, as far as i understand it, one of the big spells, since you make a dead limb useful again.
Internal consequences would be also ok with me. If Whale has nightmares afterwards, or becomes a big fan of magic against his own nature, with all the internal conflicts it comes with, or whatever, it would be at least something else than “It was done by a magician”.
Not as funny as having a crazy Whale changing his personality, but fair enough. 😈
Sadly, it seems improbable.
And, regarding Crest1994 comment… personally, if I tell someone “you are not my prince” it has the implication of having my own prince. Mainly because it is a negative existential sentence. That means, by saying… “you are not my brother” to a person who claims being my brother, the implication that the hearer percieves is that I have a brother but he is not the person i’m talking with. Because if i had no brother, i would probably answer something like “What brother?” “I have no brother”…etc.
I’m not English native speaker, so I’m just following the rule. 😳 But even if i’m wrong in my guess, at least it seems quite ambiguous.
