It may interest you to know that this comic idea has been around forever—I first thought up this idea in Beta 1, way before I even considered doing a regular RO webcomic like I'm doing now.
In fact, I do believe it was back when it was just me, Lun, Sniff and Trist in a small lil' party.
Though in the original idea, the guy supplying the lightening (intentionally spelt wrong, since in iRO the Lightning Bolt spell is misspelled ... or was, I don't know now) was Kaileron, a magician character of Tristan's.
That character is now an assassin, and he was never featured in an RW anyway, so MVE's got the spot instead.
Sorry, Tristie. ;o;
