: Ah ok, that would make sense. She doesn't look much like
: her old war-faring self in the Traitor's Game post
: game (more withered and old). So I'd either contend
: she was a damn powerful sorceress (why else would she
: be a Fallen Lord, she doesn't seem to have Damas' love
: anymore) or the realisation of her ugliness drained
: her. The latter seems less likely, as I'd assume she
: was always of that appearance- and just clung to her
: mortal/Myrmidon appearance.
This is a funny thing about M3...Ravanna has jack all spellcasting ability. She's even less magical than Damas, who at least can heal folks. (For some reason, why I don't know, M3 made him a Heron Guard. He still dresses like Soulblighter, but he's a Heron Guard. Go figure.) She's just a powerful warrior.
So at some point she must have hung up her gridaksma blades and turned to sorcery--and unexpectedly been really good at it. A hobby of her old age, I guess.
