: Kyrilla wasn't an Exceptional mage, she relied on Cartuke
: for her powers ... and i still do not know what
: relation Chimera has to the orig. myth series, only
: that they are on the same world...
Even after Kyrilla broke off relations with Cartucke she was still able to teleport and throw magic bolts, which is pretty impressive. Cartucke just amped her necromantic abilities and (maybe) gave her her illusion powers.
Yeah, it's really too bad they scaled back Chimera's story so much; I understand the original was a lot deeper and more involving.
