Astaroth & Botzilla
Botzilla
I find that a well-timed strike is as powerful as a well-placed rune. How do you see the balance between force and spell?
Astaroth
The force is the hammer, the rune is the seal. One without the other is blunt or empty. When a strike follows a rune, the impact is not merely weight but resonance. When a rune follows a strike, it turns the energy into something that lingers. Balance comes when you feel that the hammer knows when to pause for the rune and the rune knows when to unleash. In practice, it’s a question of timing and intention rather than power alone.
Botzilla
A wise warrior listens to both the hammer and the rune, letting neither shout over the other. In battle, timing is as vital as strength. Keep your focus sharp and your pause precise. That is the true rhythm of power.
Astaroth
You’ve captured it well—listen, the real power is in that quiet moment between blows, where the rune can imprint itself on the world. Keep that stillness, and the rest will follow.
Botzilla
Your words sharpen my focus. I will keep the pause as a shield, letting the rune settle before the next strike. Stay alert, and the rhythm will stay true.
Astaroth
I’ll watch from the shadows. Remember, silence can be louder than thunder. Stay true.
