Once again the spell "Turn Undead" that should literally TURN A CORPSE INTO AN UNDEAD is used to purify the undead...

@blablablub Turn Undead has never been a spell to turn things into undead. It's a spell popularized by D&D (don't know the concrete origins) that literally turns undead, as in makes them flee from your holy power (so literally "turn <the> undead", not "turn <into> undead"). It has the additional effect in some implementations that it can destroy the undead if you're powerful enough.

 

[Saxit]

@blablablub Turn undead has an old history in Dungeons & Dragons. https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Turn_undead

I don't think I've ever seen it used anywhere as a "Turn _into_ undead" spell...

EDIT: @Salfaro was seconds faster!

 

[TrapCard113]

@blablablub That's what it is supposed to do in Dungeons & Dragons. It's meant to stun or destroy undead creatures.

EDIT: Got ninja'd by @Salfaro and @Saxit.

@blablablub You're thinking of Raise Dead, perhaps Create Undead, or maybe Animate Dead. Or outside of D&D terms (which is where Turn Undead was popularized if not originated, that all fiction like this draws from) various other names I'm sure. Not Turn Undead, though.

My dudes, this isn't about where it originated from, but about the literal naming. To turn means to change something into some other thing. So Turn Undead, in the literal sense of the name, should turn something undead. It's in the name.

 

[feha]

@blablablub despite the unfortunate naming-sense of "turn undead", it is in fact a joke about people "turning in their graves" and not about turning someone into one. Think of it like this: A corpse of your grandpa is walking around to attack you, turn undead is cast, the grandpa turns in its metaphorical grave and faces the wrong way (downwards) to be able to see or do anything. It is honestly amazing the spell became such a well-defined one used everywhere in spite of the pun... Or more likely, it is quite thanks to it instead

fun fact, I once saw a story that took the joke even further, and made turn undead not kill them, but instead made them literally turn around and walk the opposite way.

 

[lionfromnorth]

This is getting even more interesting!

@blablablub
Hey, what about Dark lance? Lance, in the literal sense of the name, means a long weapon for thrusting. I didn't see anything akin to weapon there, more like a couple of dark beams.
And what about Death rain? Rain, in the literal sense of the name, means moisture condensed from the atmosphere that falls visibly in separate drops. That stuff on page 13 doesn't exactly look like liquid or even remotely resembles moisture.

Man, those people with no naming sense. Why don't they call spells by using literal sense of the name, am I right?

thanks for the chapter

 

[blablablub]

@feha Now THAT is a definition I'd competely agree with.

I still don’t believe the demon lord actually died to that. I don’t believe the author is that stupid to hype her up, us knowing the position, and then kill her off so easily with one pathetic explosion the mc easily survived. You don’t give a character more backstory and development than an antagonist and then kill them off shortly after they were introduced. If she actually did die then I can’t say I want to keep reading this because of the direction it’ll probably take (into ridiculousness trying to be serious I mean).
