Looks like Clovis is getting something that s/he wasn't expecting.

Also, the last two panels are reminiscent of Kung Fu Panda 3

Isn't the comic traditionally supposed to be in the first post?

I'm sure it's preemptive and presumptive, but...

That's right, burn you literal psycho son-of-a-[censored]!

By the way, is a wox (or folf) like Clovis fertile? I am pretty sure felineXcanine are sterile (IIRC...I binge read the archive) and, say, coyoteXwolf would be fertile (they even are in RL).

Come to think of it, I guess the answer is no (already mentioned different genera). Tried to delete the above but don't know how.

There should be an edit button, looks like a pencil in the top right. Delete is the X right next to it. And yeah, comic is generally included in the first post of the thread.

I wonder what's happening to him in that last panel... Too much power, or Brahn having a failsafe?

It's been said that dragons are magic. Maybe that includes their soul/consciousness, and instead of this spell just being a set of magical jump leads, he's inadvertently possessed himself?

We're about to find out why the Templars manipulated Clovis to use this amulet.

Maybe! Neutral Mask already relaxed the fertility restriction with humans to keep something of the Keidrans around. Allowing more cross-fertilizatons within the Keidran races before this wouldn't be surprising if finally had to go as far as with humans.

Dragons are made of magic. Therefore dragons are energy fields.
Renee is larger than Clovis, and Clovis as a whole is larger than just Clovis’ head.
Therefore, Renee is an energy field larger than Clovis’ head.
Clovis has just tried to possess Renee, and clearly had something unexpected happen that will doubtless be his downfall.
Ipso facto, Clovis tried to consume an energy field larger than his head, and is now finding out why the Evil Overlord List specifically forbids that.

I get the feeling that Reni is purposely pushing large amounts of energy Clovis' way. We saw this before when Raine went after Carver:

She threw Carver all the way to the Basitin Island. Who knows what could happen to Clovis if he gets hit with what Reni is throwing at him

Well, Raine could tell that he was trying to teleport, and boosted the spell with her own magic. Clovis is trying to take Reni's power, not use his own. The only thing I can think of, is that (as was suggested) Clovis' body can't handle the level of magic Reni has, and has basically overloaded himself; unless it's a trap by Brahn.

That or...
Maybe dragon magic is, like, a different frequency or something? Maybe it's just not compatible with him?

Has been done in other comics. Dragonball did it, probably more than once. Someone tried to drain Goku's power, exploded.

I find m'self agreeing with those who are of the belief that Braun manipulated and "sandbagged" Clovis by playing on his insatiable greed and lust for power/wealth. Oh he (Braun) told him what the amulet would do, but not the "price" or side effects of it's use against someone like Reni.

Clovis has loaded, cocked and placed the gun to his own head and is now in the process of pulling the trigger.........but what it's going to do/is doing to Reni is what concerns me.

Looks like what happened to Kai in Kung Fu Panda 3 when Po overloaded him with chi.
