[ translated literally, "There is a dying for everyone," but laced with a suggestion of necessity. translated simply... "Everyone must die," impersonal and irrefutable.
close, then, to the inevitable end he represents, but ... not quite. the sentiment behind it, not yet entirely there. there is a gravity behind the fate he ushers in, a meaning, a consequence: regardless of what one was in life, the end is the same. it may be harsh, and it may be cruel, but it can hardly be considered unfair.
... it might be almost funny, then, how mild the cadence of his voice is after all that, a slight puzzlement in it at the sentiment expressed, even. like the display was nothing but pedestrian, simply the way things are. in any case, the brand fades like it was never there once he stops actively feeding it more magic. ]
Hmm? I thought something like that best to gauge the strength of the casting with. Too small, and even a weaker response might still produce an adequate output.
... Though I admit, there are those who likely might have given me a large berth after witnessing that kind of display.
[ congrats day, you're still here. but you lack the context to know why people would have run from him anyway. ]
[ Yeah, that just confirms Day's reassessment, though if any asked him he would not really be able to put "why" into words. ]
I think anyone not used to magic would be havin' second thoughts at least. [ So what does that say about Day here, huh? (And indeed, he does lack the context so some of this is lost on him.) ]
...But I'm guessin' you were already used to magic yourself 'fore this, since you sound like you know what you're talkin' about.
[ what would be a harmless cantrip, no practical usage on the battlefield. well— that's going a bit far, perhaps, it could probably be used as a signal of some sort with some creativity, but a simple bolt of thunder or swirl of fire could easily accomplish the same thing without quite so much pointless flash.
not like the risen need such things, though, and not like he's taken that particular role of coordinating army movements for a while. ]
But I would say I was fairly practiced at it, yes.
