Wish we got to see Lucy use her whip(s) even more in FT.
In fact, I think celestial spirit mages are generally good candidates for a secondary magic speciality (this was a thought I had a LOT before they introduced Star Dress). Like… a very ummm a very tame kind of secondary magic?
Something like small-time enhancement/enchantment magic in Lucy’s case, given she’s already shown to be VERY athletic. Like just… enhancing what she can already do. Making her whip deadlier. And making it markedly less costly than summoning and maintaining spirits.
Maybe something that we see a lot more of following Phantom Lord, where we are most openly shown the weakness of Celestial Spirit mages (without the keys…). Like by the time we reach Love and Lucky, we get to see that she’s massively improved in hand-to-hand combat (like yes, Lucy Kick was a fun gag, but also… it could have been a fun finisher!)
I think that may have led really nicely into Star Dress Leo being the first one she acquires given how Loke fights (and how she fights while in that Star Dress)? Then Star Dress Aquarius could be the very last she gets as a result of the broken key and the grief.
Idk is this something?
