Rose died and yet is still with us, so not *certain* the wolf is no more even if dead. It appears Rose never actually died . Her body's in some sort of stasis/life support system, and the person everyone's been interacting with is the magical equivalent of the Star Trek EMH program. I'm guessing De...

Finally:

He's passed on! This wolf is no more! He has ceased to be! He's expired and gone to meet his maker! He's a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests (not) in peace!

I'm trying to remember if he'd encountered them before.

They were Clovis' henchwolves, maybe he encountered them through working for Clovis before the start of the comic?

When he cast the Heart's Desire spell, Natani still required a mana crystal to get the spell going , so there's still an upfront cost. Raine was able to fix her magic suppression shackle once she got Zen's crystals. Since we know Zen was traveling pretty light during that time, and Raine was current...

Even if the runes did get burned in they would require him to supply mana to them, which without and crystals he wouldn't be able to. Then how do slave collars work? They are used on crystal-less Keidrans. They don't seem to get it from the owner because Keidrans would need to constantly use crysta...

Quite a lot of things could have happened at the same moment for the bracelet here to fail, though, interestingly: 1. Zen's leg (debatable, as just described above) 2. Eric arriving on-scene and triggering whatever brotherly love/arcane slaveowning failsafes/magical dei ex machina might be affectin...

It would actually be a good idea to design a mind control device to fail if following an order required extreme actions outside of the direct order. Imagine you order a slave to go outside, but the guards stop her, so that the slave believes the only immediate way to get through that door is to kil...

I suggested this during the stream, but what if a shard of the antimagic shackle itself was embedded into his leg when it exploded? It might still have some residual magical power that interacted with Kat's cuff when her claws pierced Zen's bandages. Having a bit of metal in the wound might explain ...

I disagree, the cuff was specifically for getting Zen out, adding function to an already existing item wouldn't be beyond Clovis, and we've seen a goon of his use teleportation (Carver). Your explanation doesn't touch on why he would mention the wards (one of the functions of which is preventing tel...

Romulus mentioned sending her to "his friends". I think he means Brutus and Roan in the dungeons, so things aren't quite going to go according to his plan seeing as one is a roasted pile of bones and the other is dying of poison. But Clovis and Reni are fighting down there, so that's stil...

Way to kill the one person at hand who can stop Kat from walking into Clovis' hands, Zen! What a "hero".

Another thing to bring up is Lynn. We still have no idea where they are, true, but Kat was able to briefly leave the room to yell for help. Those big ears aren't just for show, so there are some good odds that Kathrin was heard. As for just how effective a Basitin bureaucrat would be against an inj...

While this is definitely a horrible thing to happen to poor Kat, this does almost certainly place her out of harm's way for the immediate future. Romulus now knows where his primary target is, and has no reason to bring her along. She'll probably be instructed to wait in the room until he and/or Cl...

Well that creepy bracelet can’t be good... Appears to be like the control collars humans use on their Keidran slaves. Kat hasn't been under any kind of control magic (according to Eric, anyway) since she was very young. You'd think she'd remember what it felt like, but she might have suppressed tho...
