[SPOILER] Click here to see my commentary for this page!
My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est:Very few readers guessed that these pages actually showed Eldor carrying out an operation on Viviana’s mind and soul so that she’ll be able to leave the forest maze. This was finally revealed in Monster #57 . The maze spell didn’t work correctly on her due to the special properties of her soul. See my comment on Breaking All Barriers #156 for this. The rest of the dialog between Kali and Eldor goes like this:
- Kali: What will HE do now?
- Eldor: I’ll adjust the labyrinth so that she’ll find the way back to Oakdale herself. She can’t stay in the forest much longer.
- Kali: But what if HIS plan doesn’t work out?
- Eldor: Then it might be necessary to kill her.

In the context of the surgery, I’m guessing the “stab to the heart” was some sort of Redstream spell that affected her soul?
You know, he could have atleast thought about maybe knocking her out magically before all this? Come on Eldor, that part was unnecessary!
Real smooth to perform life soul surgery instead of fixing the spell.
You do realise future references aren’t available until so many days in the future, right? At least to mere mortals, that is.
Did we ever find out anything about the orbs? If they grew back or could get swapped? Viv would need new batteries at some point anyway.

It’s possible that she was knocked out (or at least Eldor thought he had done so successfully), but at least semi-aware of what was going on. Sometimes that, uh… happens in surgery.

All the pages are still available online in German 😛

It was complicated spell. Attempts to fix one part could break other.

It’s probably a fair bit like coding. Fixing this one edge case likely WILL break everything else.

If that’s a persistent problem with your software then the root cause is likely you.
Anyhow, there are coding crews well-known for going “Bugs in our software? Impossibru! You can make your software work around it instead!” and they keep wondering why they’re getting the stink from the rest of the community.
This is a somewhat more up close and personal version and it doesn’t impress either.

Yeah, very often it’s caused by the programmer being mere mortal instead of divine being with omniscience.
@ HKMaly:
A mere mortal with pretensions of being a divine being with omniscience. AKA programmer arrogance.
Or as Brian W. Kernighan put it: “Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place. So if you’re as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it?”
