[OWMWO]

She wanna make a SQUIRT STAFF.
Okay, alright, yup, totally not sus at all.

 

[Miserys_End]

She wanna make a SQUIRT STAFF.
Okay, alright, yup, totally not sus at all.

I mean perverse imagery aside, a squirtgun capable of firing verity of corrosives, healing agents, and abnormal status ailments would be rather useful. And she could always fall back on your bog standard flamethrower by shooting a combustible liquid that passes thrue an ignition source.

 

[JACGohu]

Think she might be able to replicate the effects of her emerald magic using magic stones? Embed some stones on the bag, and configure them to absorb mana from the air to keep them charged?

 

[TrapCard113]

Page 10-11, she just streamlined the peasant railgun.

 

[blablablub]

I'm a bit surprised there was noone around to scold Daisy for her "dangerous" experiment.

 

[WhimsiCat]

She wanna make a SQUIRT STAFF.
Okay, alright, yup, totally not sus at all.

Well, she's just starting on her journey to reaching magical girl power of highly destruction but rarely ever fatal LASER (Divine Buster, 'Love sign' Master Spark, etc)

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

She just needs to treat the magic bags like they're cars. An expensive purchase that requires constant refills of fuel. She could sell them to major merchants and nobles for a super high price. They'd definitely buy them and because of the pricing and the low volume, it'd be worth it for her.

 

[CraniumAmbiguity]

So side thought...
maybe the wizard tower works on a similar principle, but uses ley lines to refill/maintain the magic.

The recourse for fuel isn't ubiquitous as gasoline. So far, she is the only one that we know of, that can recharge this tool which is a major stopgap to scaling up.

If she sold them, the government/military would immediately demand a monopoly. It is too valuable to potentially land in the hands of rivaling nations, and not prioritize their own.

It really depends on how long the charge lasts, if the charge depletes if not in use, and how taxing it is to charge.

1) The time limit of the charge determines how far you can transport in one trip per bag, or how many trips you can make.
2) If the charge depletes over time regardless of use, then you could only use them in parallel to expand how much you could transport at the same time.
3) The tax on the charge determines the maximum number of bags that could feasibly be in circulation. Depending on the amount and duration she could be treated as a battery working full time doing only this.

Imagine if the tax wasn't so bad and it lasted about a week or more. You could sell a few as a side gig and not have it interfere with your alchemy life too much, similar to how you described.

But what if the duration was less than a day? This would require the client to interact with the alchemist once a day or more. This is a burden on the alchemist and the client that might not make it worth it for either, unless they already interact that frequently anyway. At that point it might only be practically usable for the MC and her employees. Or rather than selling a tool she could become a tool selling a service.

I suppose in you analogy if she were the only gas station in existence that sold cars. Is she really selling cars or just the service of providing gas?
