Question:
Why is the magic around Frey when she uses Flow gold?
Shimmy and Leap are properly purple
But Flow is pure gold, not a speck of purple to be seen
And she's coated in it when she first breaks into her sprints! Look at this, the only place it doesn't touch is her face:
Looks familiar, too, doesn't it? Where have we seen gold in these patterns before?
Oh. Ooooooh.
I'm sure it's fine :)
But it's really interesting, right? Flow isn't Frey's magic. It's Cuff's. All the rest of Frey's magic has purple in it—after all, Frey's magic is purple magic. But Flow is the only magic in her entire arsenal that has no color other than gold.
Trust me, I spent two-ish hours today going through every single spell.
I'm fascinated that of all the magics Cuff could have given her, it's the ability to run and escape. It's the one thing we don't see him do when he's fighting her as Susurrus. He could have given her flight, laser beams, forming weapons out of gold filament, fancy gold armor, summon 6d12 breakbirds per round, anything. But instead he gives her the power to flee, and that's before he really learned or knew anything about who she is as a person.
What an interesting and missable bit of characterization.
