the-sleepy-silurian asked:

If black magic harms both the caster and the victim as mentioned in one of your earlier posts, then how corrupted/hurt/damaged is Praxina? While the twins cast spells together and separately Praxina is usually the one to conjure up the huge monsters and seal people in black crystal. Since these are larger and presumably more difficult spells, as opposed to just attacking with crystal shards, making shields etc., does the black magic have a stronger hold on her than it does on Mephisto?

Let’s clarify a thing first : Praxina and Mephisto are nearly as powerful as each other. They just don’t use magic the same way. 

Praxina prefers demonstrations of raw power, like big explosion spells and huge monster summoning. And she’s good at that.

Mephisto prefers more elaborate spells and tricks (he likes to brag how he’s a genius, remember ?), like trying to put all princesses to sleep, or removing Iris’ memory, things like that. 

He however is as capable as her to summon monsters and freeze people in black crystal. And she is also capable of being more subtle when needed. That’s why they make a pretty good team. 

Now, back to the main question. How “damaged” are our favourite twins ? They’re still young, so they’re fine… for now. The first thing black magic does it making its caster a little more evil each day. If they continue using it all their lives ? They might end up like Gramorr : Evil, Powerful, and Angry all the time. :) At best. 

That’s all I can say for now. ;)
