I have started this thread because I would like to speak about the power gap between those humans who just train and study, and those who have power-ups (Heroes, Incubi and maybe Covenanters too).

First, we have your regular warrior, trained with mundane weapons. How well do you think a competent warrior can fare against Mamonos? And what about very good, thoroughly trained warriors?

And then we have human mages. How well do you think a trained mage will do against Mamonos? And what about very good, very powerful experienced mages?

The Covenanters have help. The Elementals give them extra power. Their spells are said to be more powerful than regular magic, but it seem the Elementals don't like it very much if you use their power for war, and they have a say on how you use it (Saphirette Spherica says that the Order "try" to use the Elementals for war).

The truth is, we don't know much about the power of Covenanters, almost all the feats described are the work of Demonic Elementals (Saphirette Spherica included) not of Covenanters.

The Heroes have Holy Blessings, but we don't really know what those do or how they work. Heroes are a threat to Mamono big enough that Druella attacked Lescatie because of them.

And then we have Incubi. Being an Incubi gives a power-up to everybody: Warriors, Mages and Covenanters, since they have more SE to spend. At the upper level, the Khepri Kings' power rivals that of Pharaohs.

We don't really know how other kinds of Incubi compare to the power of Khepri Kings or powerful Mamono. Inaris channel all their excess DE into their husbands, so those must be pretty powerful. Kyubi-no-kitsune Inaris seem to be roughly at the level of Pharaohs in term of power, so their husbands could be close to Khepri Kings.

Your thoughts?
