Loving the au!!! The whole tricking the beasts and reducing them to weakened forms is something I can see happening canonically but I swear youve given me a smybiote with how many brain worms I have of the au! ;ppp
This might be a very spoiler heavy question but do any of the beasts get affected by the reworked spell or do they all escape to their ancient counterpart in the nick of time?
After the spell backfired on Shadow Milk (which im calling Witches' Flame for now)...the spell was slightly adjusted so it could be cast directly on the other beasts.
All attempts were successful, and even though two of the now-symbiotes are currently with their Ancient counterparts as a host....
...the other three were not so lucky.
