Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina : Episode 6
Current Episode Score: 6
That ending just has so many issues, like the King forced his entire Country to not lie and than everyone just agreed he was a good guy who made a dumb decision and let it go? Also I’ve noticed this before, but it really feels like Kings more control a single city than an entire Country in this show. Like his barrier was around the city, or they have walls around the entire outskirts of Country like it is a game of Civ.
Now onto my complaint about magic and world building. Once again I feel like the lack of information about what and how magic actually works hurts this episode immensely. So this Witch put a bunch of her energy, and her own voice somehow into finishing this barrier sword. And than afterward lost all her magic, so does that mean magic in like a non-renewable resource in humans? Are you born with a certain amount and if you use it all up, you can just no longer use magic. And why would giving her voice up assist in finishing the sword, does your voice contain a certain amount of magic in this world?
This episode is also the return of Saya, who apparently spent all of her money on some minor necklace in hopes of giving it to Elania. And just pure luck caused them to meet at this point.
