@Darth - Many countries have stopped producing nukes because the ones they have are enough to destroy the world many times over. There is simply no need for more.

And yet, there's still a massive military industrial complex. Which is constantly developing new methods of warfare.

It's also funny to criticize fern's spell selection from a practical aspect because asking Serie for a spell as part of the graduation ceremony is presumably this heavily ritualized and formal process. You're presumably supposed to ask for a spell that embodies your ethos towards magic. It's a symbolic beseechment/blessing as part of your promotion. It's not like she's a genie and you're supposed to find the correct phrase to ask for infinite wishes.

That's a lot of assumptions to be making about a process they showed us 0% of.

That did not negate my point. There are times when people stop increasing destructive power because it is redundant or no longer cost effective.

To add, while the world is constantly creating new weapons, it is also creating many more methods of making everyday life more convenient, comfortable, and easy.

Graduation ceremonies are activities fraught with symbolic meaning and ritual process because that's what a ceremony is by definition, and in this one you are becoming a peer of an ancient immortal sorceress so yes I think it's a fairly safe assumption it contains ritual and symbolism.

And what part of ANY of the interactions they've shown with Serie so far would suggest that she'd have any interest in that kind of frivolous display?

So, did we find out what Denken wished for? I only remember "finally I can visit my wife's grave". Did he get a spell that allows him to access certain places?

We didn't find out SHIT!

They showed 3 seconds of Fern getting her spell and 0 seconds of anyone else getting theirs!

The fact that she holds the ceremony at all. She could just have a courier inform them they were promoted if there wasn't supposed to be any pomp.

How is she supposed to hand out spells from her collection through a courier?
