Yes, she needs to be naked for the spell to work and we can all just hope that the sorceress will insist that she remains naked after the spell is finished for an undetermined amount of time to ensure the spell worked. Maybe even add in some random sex as well.
But this is the sorceress we’re talking about, so disasters are almost a given. But since Marie has already reverted to her original form and been restored to this one, I don’t think that will be the disaster in store. 😀
Does that mean you know how human magic works? Because I would settle for that.

You mean in the real world or in the universe of the comic strip? (Not that it makes much of a difference, my rules for how the Sorceress uses magic are pretty minimalistic.)

basically human magic works of whatever you want it to do, it will do something else
Gallstone
But something does happen… and there may be spellcasters out there with better control than the Sorceress.
I wonder… Is Marie’s nudity required by the spell, or because the Sorceress has wistful memories of what happened between the two of them when Herman was still attached to her? 😉
You never know. 😉 A frustrated young magical genius creating a spell could add any requirements his or her fevered imagination threw up…
Gallstone
Or else there can be any number of symbolical reasons for nudity in magic.
Jaycee
Anything’s possible. I tend to stick to what’s likely.
Personally, though, I think nudity and magic should always go hand in hand. 🙂

There is something to be said for dancing skyclad under the full moon. For myself that something is “Don’t.” For Miss Marie, however, it’s “Yes, please!”

I’m often reminded of Matt Groening’s words in one of his early “Life in Hell” books: In general men’s magazines are filled with images of scantily clad, beautiful women. In general women’s magazines are also filled with images of scantily clad, beautiful women. This is because the male body is lumpen and hairy, and ought not be seen by the light of day.
Gallstone
Sounds like Matt Groening was looking at the wrong kind of men… *whistles*
‘Nudity and magic go hand in…’ I wouldn’t have put hand in there myself. I was thinking something else.
And ‘ladies magazines’ were/are something to attain- impossible thought that may be without real life airbrushing. I do not consider most men to be lumpen, and I like them hairy. 🙂

Though I don’t think she needs to be naked for the spell to work, but her being naked is needed, hehe.
Sheela
Oh no, the Sorceress is definitly right on this one – Naked is the way to go!

Jaycee, can you give us a brief compare-and-contrast of Faerie magic vs. Human sorcery?
Jaycee
They day I figure out how faerie magic works, I’ll do that. 🙂

It’s unlikely to have anything to do with the spell itself. 🙂

The height of the Sorcer(er/ess)s hat is starting to get just a little out of hand.
Jaycee
There’s a lot of magic in it?

So it’s not standing in for Herman in his absence? 😉

Wow, can’t believe I just noticed him missing, but where has old Sir “Double Dong” been hanging out all this time?
Guesticus
Aidan became Nadia some time back (still prefers the ladies), you can call her “Lady Twin Tunnels” now
Guesticus
Wonder if Sorceress will admit to Mirror that she is responsible for Mirror having a little Marie in her 😉
Guesticus
Does this mean, that Mirror could be considered pregnant with Eiram? o_O
Gallstone
Nah, this is blooming faeries. There’s bound to be a sex joke to be based on the question “I have X inside of me?!” 😉
