So near as I can tell, Serie is not indicating she gave the Hero of the South his magic, just that he was the only person she ever knew who was able to see the future with perfect accuracy and reliably produce results he wanted? Though, it seems whoever is using clairvoyant magic now may be almost as good if they were able to adjust to so many plans Serie made to try to avoid them.

On the other hand, it seems the assassin cannot see through illusions or clones (assuming that is what she meant by simulacra). That could be an important weakness.

One would presume that Schlact (spelling) being a Great Demon with incomprehensible magic is an exception, just as the Hero of the South was. Even if their prediction magic was still in theory imperfect, it was far better than anything else and pretty much always right.

They weren't, the Shadow Warriors started taking matters into their own hands and killing anyone they decided was a potential threat both within and outside the empire. This led to them being disbanded, though of course that didn't stop them.

She has one clairvoyant spell left, and its the worst one, because she knows relying this magic is suicide for most people.

Even then, she explains how many things she tried. There is only so much you can do when someone else is using a more accurate version of future-seeing magic and they happen to be a almost unheard of person who can use it with great accuracy.

Even then, she did find a way to avoid the assassin, she's just not taking it because it will cause a lot of other people to die. So she is instead surrounding herself with mages who she considers unpredictable. What do you think she should have done?

Of course, expecting the party's warrior to be important to the arc about warriors being important is too much. Naturally it needs to circle back to be about mages.
>>
>>282316563
>the dwarf doesnt seem like a bad guy.

Said dwarf has stated:

>"Do you have any idea how many people I've killed?"

He was a hero but it seems he's fell pretty hard since then.

Seems less about them being strong and more about them being able to able to use a magic that amounts to cheating in the rare event it can be used reliably.
>>
>>282316600
It would make perfect narrative sense. It’s not a magic attack that kills serie, which suggests warrior. Another warrior would be the best counter to that. Its why frieren insists on having a frontliner in her party at all times
Then, once stark saves the day, serie decide to reward him like she rewards her first class mages. But since stark isnt interested in grimoires, she gives up her elven pussy instead, and make some half elf babies with red hair
>>
>>282316727
Gojo at least did things. Serie accomplished literally nothing.
>>
why does no one expect heiter have a personality in this manga
>>
Naruhodon't... let us wait for the next chapter. Will Serie be just a worthless elven mage?
>>
>>282316222
It's a story about demon; do you expect it do be anyone other than a demon?
So we've got someone that has better powers than Serie regarding future-reading and is so capable of killing her that they always kill Serie or worse, all without being identified by her. Anyone thinking that this can be the work of the Shadow Warriors are delusional. If anything, the Shadow Warriors work for the demons. Ultimately, they are too clean at killing Serie, regardless of where she goes for it to be anyone but the demons. Haven't they been strangely absent? We heard nothing about the demons trying to exert influence over a crumbling empire that is located in the North.
>>
>>282316699
Now you get it.
But honestly, this arc is focused more on Serie and the CMA than the main group.
The only thing I'm curious about right now is if Frieren have a similar clairvoyance spell. Since she did travel a lot compared to Serie who's a neet.

>Serie accomplished literally nothing.

Trained the greatest mage in human history.

Formed an organization that is so effective at protecting people from monsters and demons that it would cause wide societal instability if it were to collapse.

Faced with an assassination she cannot figure out how to stop, she still makes plans to mitigate harm to everyone else.

>The only thing I'm curious about right now is if Frieren have a similar clairvoyance spell.

Seems likely if she did have such a spell she would refrain from using it for similar reasons as Serie (and probably also because it would diminish the joy of seeking magic if she knew what was going to happen).

It's a little shaky that she can theoretically survive if she goes all out to avoid death, but they then take it out on a bunch of her subordinates. But in that case she'd still be alive so her dream magic should tell her more, right?

I can wank it like she just can't tolerate that amount of killings so knowing about the "hostage situation" makes it retroactively impossible to be clairvoyant past that point

>>282317105

>>
>>282317105
Even if she can see further in the scenario she survives (which since she says the vision length is random, might not be the case) does it matter? She's just seeing further into a future she doesn't wish to pursue.
>>
>>282317105
>she'd still be alive so her dream magic should tell her more, right?
Not with her clairvoyance spell that randomly activates and plays out different scenarios. She can apparently control to some extent but probably either dies like before at a later date or does not want to continue, knowing that so many of her mages have been killed.
What this does tell us, however, is that whoever wants Serie dead isn't out just to get kill her alone. I don't think the SW have much to gain by killing her mages if they cannot get to her so I think it has to be some other faction.

This is what Serie, suggested yeah. That that specific outcome was designed by someone with precognitive magic as a message to her. That's specifically why she believes her enemy has it.
>>
>>282317352
Why Stark? Isn't Fern a war orphan from the south? As is typically the case, the character with the mysterious origins will have--in this case--clairvoyance.
>>
>>282317256
The CMA can exist without Serie, but losing a bunch of its members who are vital to protecting people from monsters and demons would be a greater loss. Plus I'd wager Serie just despises the idea of people dying because she ran away.

>>282317352

Worst chapter of the entire arc, probably multiple arcs.
Entirely info dump exposition revealing nothing new or interesting while other characters are in the middle of a fight (remember Ubel about to die with blood running down her face?) then ends with a sudden fast forward of the plot to get to probably the very end of the arc now. Author didn't even manage to do the usual 19 pages and put out his shortest chapter ever, must be sick of this boring arc too

>>282317105
>But in that case she'd still be alive so her dream magic should tell her more, right?
Not if the killer murders everyone in such a way that nobody knows who it was.

The real issue here is she said the timing and duration of the dreams are random, and the only reason the spell has been so consistent is because her life is near its inevitable end, but if there are outcomes where she lives then that kind of throws off that whole rationale.
If the spell is truly random then it also should have been showing her futures where she's alive after successfully preventing her own death, rather than just futures where she fails to do so.
>>
>>282317539
honestly feels like the author is too high on the "objectively good writing" kool aid in many ways, but particularly in the "overpowered characters are le bad and must be flawed" point because holy shit, serie is legitimately one of if not THE most fucking useless "the strongest" characters i have ever fucking seen

Löwe is a red herring, the old dude standing next to him will be the one with the ability to kill Serie. He's an older and more experienced Shadow Warrior based on context clues in chapter 127 when he's trying to spy on Frieren.

This is the most interesting plot that's been in this whole manga honestly. I always thought the demon stuff was very ropey and the rest was just blank face battle manga but this is pretty clever. At least the writer guy doesn't think he's done with a hiatus when he isn't.

Forget the imminent assassination for a moment and focus on what happens if she skips or delays it. It more or less starts a war with her and a lot of her students going down. Knowing that, its evident whomsoever is planning the assassination is probably a major player in the Empire.

My guess is the kingpin behind the plot is one of the chumps standing with the Emperor in >>282315598

Denken is probably not, and neither is the Emperor. So it has to be one of the other three. My theory is that one of them is fueled by ideology- to make the Empire great again by killing Serie, gathering a lot of political goodwill and replacing the Emperor.

Löwe is the real deal and will probably go toe-to-toe with Frieren and her party but I don't think he's the one who will make the attempt on Serie.

It fits the Shadow Warriors thematically if the dude who can kill Serie is just this random old dude who is never even give a fake or real name like the other Shadow Warriors. He's an actual shadow figuratively.

He's right
She's assuming that the enemy only goes after all the mages in the event of her survival, but that's just a bad assumption
In reality they most likely target all the mages in every scenerio, but she has no knowledge of it since she's dead by that point.
She's assuming they don't target anyone else if she chooses to die, but that's just an assumption

It sounds flippant, but it really was just something she was doing to pass the time in her immortality. Flamme knew Serie would do it eventually even if it was just out of boredome. She didn't expect it to become a chain that would tie down her actions.
>>
>>282318272
She already saved the day. She becomes the Goddess at the end of the story since she has collected all the magical knowledge there is, even the mundane spells like laundry washing. Her ultimate magical attack (the one her clone used on Fern) is the base for the magic of the Goddess and has to be decoded by Priests after she ascends to godhood and newly creates the world once again out of love and a desire to reward Himmel.

She's already manipulated causality by having Sein fucking up the Shadow Warrior's plans by saving Stark from the poison and healing Wehrlos' cat which will lead to the reunion between Sein and Warrior Gorilla. Warrior Gorilla not being willing to kill Sein is what will ruin the Shadow Warrior's plans and save Serie's life.
>>
No news about the other party (Glück, Lernen and Denken) and I wonder about Lineal, Serie said she was really strong. I assume she knows they are all there, and the author is not even showing her going (...)

>>282316762
That's literally the point of Serie though. She did nothing for millennia except accumulate knowledge and mentor some random humans time to time. She's teaches, others use it. A teacher who has taught multiple generations is arguably more useful, though obviously only Flamme was a "success" in history's eye.

That's not a fast forward, it's a return to the earlier scene where Serie and Sense are talking about meeting the emperor. We then she where some of the unaccounted for Shadow Warriors are.

The spy finding out about the assassination plot was plenty of foreshadowing on its own. The future-sight is just establishing why Serie isn't trying to avoid the Empire.

There seems to be some sort of "fate" at play here. A powerful warrior/assassin like Serie's killer and Serie herself coming into contact seems to be how to the world deals with the "overpowered".
They'll take each other out like a self-terminating equation without outside intervention and the world rolls on, with Frieren next in line to take Serie's place.

Even the Shadow Warriors have accepted that the upper echelons are fated to die during this encounter and are already planning successors.

Serie has basically accepted that she is fated to die but wants to spare her fate from her dear apprentices. However she won't actually die because of the scheming of Lineal, Fraise, Frieren, and potentially indirect intervention from the Goddess.

>>282318075
>>282318346
They may not need to go after all the mages. Would the CMA survive without her? Or would the CMA remain a powerful contestant were Serie to die?
The assassination ploy doesn't just seem like the killing of one powerful figure but a decapitation strike against her organisation of which had grown too large for their liking (and the Empire in their minds). Killing Serie would be the less labouring option, but if she were to slip from their fingers then they'd have to exert more resources and kill more people to achieve the same result, which is the crippling (or even destruction) of the CMA.
>>
>>282317990
Keep in mind that it's Frase who arranged for Denken to be away, and she wouldn't tell the Emperor why.
Also, don't forget that Denken is planning something together with Lernen.

>>282318760
>They may not need to go after all the mages.
She's willing to sacrifice her life just based on an assumption without any concrete evidence?

So it's definitely Schlacht and demons finally putting their plans from when Frieren jumped to the past into motion right?
All Serie and the emperor talked about were human mages with clairvoyance, ignoring that Schlacht existed.
No one knows what happened to him after the battle against Hero of the South, everyone just presumed he died.
There was also that time Schlacht stopped Freiren from peeking into Machts past to stop her from seeing his plans, and Grausom learned about the future from Frieren too.
Solitar was also top tier at hiding her mana, I bet the group she was with in the past is finally making their move.

The Shadow Warriors want to eliminate magic from the world and killing Serie helps accomplish that apparently. I'm guessing it's because with her dead, the power ceiling for mages becomes smaller since mages can no long visualize her and her tremendous power and use her as inspiration? idk.
>>
>>282317920
Whoever it is, if this clairvoyant is so good that they can foresee all the possible futures in such a way that they can drive Serie to serving her own head on a platter, then they there shouldn't be a way their plan fails, whatever that plan is.
Either they're fallible, or they succeed and their plan for the future is the continuity we will follow for the rest of the story.
>>282318346
She says that in the event she does everything to save herself, they don't even try to assassinate her and instead kill everyone else.
It's still possible that they go after the others after she dies, but for them to not even try to kill her when she so thoroughly protects herself is a big indication that the killer can read her intentions, and instead of exposing themselves trying to kill her, they'll kill everyone else to send a message.
>>282318795
It's more like she's not willing to hide like a coward while everyone else gets killed. A lot of mages may still die along with her, but it seems she's taken measures to prevent it. We'll see.
>>
>>282318899
>It's more like she's not willing to hide like a coward while everyone else gets killed.
But she has no way of knowing if they won't get killed anyway since she can't see past her own death.
>>
>>282318934
I'd guess it's a matter of pride at that point. She'd rather die with everyone else than only manage to save herself.
>>

Except she is not seeing all possible futures. The spell she uses is random in what it shows, and by the time of this conversation with the emperor she has run out of time to try it again. She's seen a lot of possible futures, but far from all of them.
>>
>>282319176
and she isnt aware of sein, maybe...
>>
>>282318934
>But she has no way of knowing if they won't get killed anyway since she can't see past her own death.

Hence why her focus is on mitigating casualties whether she dies or not. That's the whole point of her making this plan with the emperor. She already knows some of her mages dies when she dies, but she also knows that it is seemingly much worse if she doesn't die. And since she doesn't know if this mass killing happens anyway, she is focused on trying to change that, since preventing her own death didn't help.
>>

>If that's the case then that would be a very recent personality development. Serie had no problem fucking around a cave while humans were getting massacred for millennia.

If nothing else these are people she knows and is responsible for. That she is more indifferent toward things that don't directly concern her doesn't change that she does have standards.
>>
>>282319235
>it is seemingly much worse if she doesn't die.
But again, how? She doesn't know what happens when she dies. Maybe all mages get killed regardless.
>>
>>282319176
But the important part is that she was easily outplayed one way or another in every future she saw. For that to be the case, the other party must have had a plan for every future that Serie saw, which means that they probably have a plan not just for those futures, but also tons more that she didn't see.
>>
>>282315747

>>282316472
He just realized who the southerner with the clairvoyance is, didn't he?

>>282319173
And capable of making the spell in the first place. Ubel uses existing spells in certain ways others cannot, she doesn't create spells that do impossible things.
>>
>>282319270
But since she doesn't know, she can at least hope efforts to mitigate casualties work. She's going with what she sees as the better of two bad options.
>>
>>282319244
We were told she was basically spreading war throughout the south. If she's behind this, that means she now wants to spread war in the north too? What's that slut's deal?

>>
>>282319341
I'd imagine long term she could mitigate casualties better by being alive.
>>
>>282319282
Honestly it sounded more to me like they were using their own clairvoyance to react to her own use of it, hence her saying they were using the future visions as a threat and asking her to give up her life. Like perhaps every time she used her spell and the possible future started to change, their own magic would react so they could make a new future plan that still killed Serie. There's no way a single unchanging plan could kill her no matter where she is, so it becomes more like a duel of clairvoyant spells where one interferes with the other (she says she thinks it is this scenario and it is one of the two ways people with clairvoyant magic tend to die).
>>
>>282319395
She doesn't seem to think so, given as she put it the CMA is too big for her to protect everyone.
>>
>>282319497
She could reform it in the next few decades. Without her the CMA could simply collapse on its own and there would be nobody to fill the gap.

It could go either way. It'd be more convenient for the story if it was as you say, because in that case there's the possibility that this antagonist was so focused on trying to counter Serie's clairvoyance that they got tunnel vision and neglected the the effects someone like Frieren could have in their plan.

Just based on that one speech bubble you can tell no one will die again in this toothless manga!
>>
>>282318801
I don't think we'll see what happens with Grausam and Solitar getting Freiren's memories for a while. Whatever it is is likely related to Schlacht's overall plan since both of them knew they were dead in the time future Frieren came from, which means he presumably told them.
But Schlacht's plan extends a thousand years into the future and the most important part we know of was removing the hero of the south, and making sure no one knew anything about how that went down. Past that it's a lot of mysteries.

Elves in the Frieren universe are very similar to the elves in the Lord of the Rings universe.
They can be very powerful but by themselves they lack the will power to do anything (due to their longevity and lack of urgency).
Even for Frieren, everything she acomplished was thanks to her human companions and their innitiative. It's basically the whole point of the story.
I'd argue that Serie fails to do anything because she doesn't really have any deep connections with her surrounding humans. She cares about them, but doesn't really get too involved as they will eventually die.
>>
>It also shows a good degree of prowess from the enemy (possibly Löwe with the missing eye being a parallel to Odin's knowledge?) in extracting information from the predictions; for such a long-lived mage it wouldn't be weird to think Serie could prioritize her life over her disciples, and even Lerner was blind to how much they mean to her. For them to lay down that trap of weighting her life against the mages under her, they really got some insight in how she thinks.
the enemy has been studying serie for a long time. only frieren knew how much serie actually cared about the CMA mages. who else would know such insight from her?

Mockery.

If you actually had an elf gf to use it with, she'd roast you a bit for dooming her to single motherhood but secretly wish you well. If not, she'd just mock you for picking something useless. If you meant it for her, she'd mock you for being a complete idiot because if she DID want to breed with you she could just cast it on herself, so you'd have been better off asking for literally anything else.

I don't think it's Schlacht. It is maybe just the shadow warrior in chief wanting to eradicate magic and Serie foresaw a future without her death where the shadow warriors murked everybody.
Or it is Übel being retarded by accident and she lops her head and Serie is destined to die here, no matter what.

My guess is that it must be a demon. A demon that likely used Minus as a test run for Serie and guided the Shadow Warriors for decades.

she assumes it's just complicated chantage based on the foreknowldge that she has some limited future sight. but yeah she doesn't know for that won't happen and making arangements for after she dies is something the higher-up first class mages like Sense and Denken won't engage with. choosing to face the attempt head on gives her agency that she doesn't have if her mages just get assassinated en masse.

So if Serie survives this how come all the other mages win the battles and survive in this timeline
>>
>>282327470
Yeah but there isn't really a motivation to do so and the fallout would be bad for everyone as the mages are overwhelming a net positive for society.
The genius of this threat is that it will never have to be carried out thanks to both Serie's clairvoyance and her fondness towards her mages.

The hero of the south did what he said he was going to do. He carved a path forward that made it possible for Himmel to kill the demon king.
The conversation with Macht makes it very clear that Schlacht knew he would die. And there's no way he didn't know the demon king would die too. Just like Grausam and Solitar knew they would be dead in the future as well. It's all definitely within calculations.

>Why do we even need mages
Because magic is still more versatile. Even the shadow warriors need a mage/priest for abilities that go beyond moving really fast and killing someone in as few moves as possible.
>Why cant they kill demons?
Because we only have two shadow warrior cells for context and both are operating as branches of the monarchy whose enemies are demons and also people. Given it's the north I doubt there weren't shadow warrior cells dedicated to killing demons but that's not the focus of the story.

Literally the opposite, she's accepting that her clairvoyance is both confirming she will die as things are but is also near useless to try and prevent it.
She is out of ideas and begging to the emperor to help her, he himself said he cannot control these kinds of things so they are left with trying to arrange a deal for what happens after she gets killed
The only one who are going to turn the table will be Frieren because she exists outside of the sphere of what Serie thinks is possible

Well yes Sein is probably the true wildcard here in that his relationship with Gorilla is pretty likely to play a significant role in disrupting the plot. Only Frieren's group knows about this, plus maybe the dwarf Gorilla is with. They are obviously all going to meet pretty soon.

But something still needs to be done about Lowe, the guy who wants to wipe out magic and end Flamme's legacy. So obviously that's not a role Sein is going to fill, but Frieren quite likely will.
>>
>>282335265
Because open warfare is a different beast. SW are working under ambush/insurgency rules where their targets have their guard down or can't go scorched earth because it would antagonize the empire.

Warriors can and do fight demons, but the SW wouldn't have any special advantages over someone like Stark in that situation because demons generally don't relax in human towns and scorched earth is their default setting.

Minus is the key to all of this.

>>282318760
Again she's making too many assumptions of the opponents mindset despite not knowing who they are, or what they really want. Her belief that they only target mages if she survives is roughly based on nothing. She doesn't know that they don't target mages in worlds where she's killed. She's assuming it because she can only see the results based on one path

Imagine there are two doors
One door is open, the other door is shut, behind the open door is lava, so you assume behind the closed door must be something good
You're assuming because you can see the results of one path, that the thing you can see influences the results of the other path. You don't know if it influences the results unless you can confirm the motivations of the one behind the attack.

Correct, the Antonine Plague is pretty highly forgotten.

I only read the manga, and it was a huge waste of time. Just another overhyped shonen, as usual.

JJK has way too many fundamental structural problems as a story and is written by an incompetent mangaka.

It always had a plot. From the very beginning there as a clear goal to this story plus a side quest: to finish the pilgrimage to Ende and return in time for Stark to reunite with his master and both make peace.

I get the frustration with this current arc. But if the mage exam arc happened after the anime adaptation, people would be saying the very same stuff they are saying about the Serie assassination plot. Frieren was always a story with good bones but that benefits from a snappier storyboarding. If they don't go full retard, I'm very sure the anime adaptation will fix it, just as they did the mage exam arc. There's a lot of fat to trim.

The enemy mastermind is 100% not a demon. There’s no demon anywhere at any time except the Demon King who has the juice to do what Serie is describing. If there was then Serie would have been DEAD a thousand years ago when the Demon King ordered the genocide of the Elves. It’s going to be a human or other elf.

One interesting idea is that the future sight power being used by the enemy ISN’T a spell, but rather a holy ability from the Goddess. Maybe Kraft or some other character like what’s-his-face the priest had been endowed with some crazy prophecy skill by the Goddess that can trump Serie’s counter-vision magic. It could be that there’s a faction of the church which believes the world is being ruined by the overabundance of magic and Serie is the lynchpin of that system. Remember that throughout most of history, magic was a demon-only thing, and may still be viewed by some as a fundamentally evil force. I also like the idea of Kraft being involved because who else has the juice to take Serie out perfectly like this in all scenarios short of Serie running and hiding with all her might?

I can understand the Demon King wanting to abandon the militarized form of demon society if that was his intentions, ie, they saw demons existing within or attached to human society and the only way for that to happen was to lose obediently to the Heroes….but why is it so important for Serie to be killed? Serie doesn’t seem particularity opposed to demons in general, any more than the usual in the current timeline. Hell I could even see her letting demons into the MA if they’re interesting enough. Since we’re talking about a 1000 year timeline starting from less than 100 years ago, it may be that Serie dying now will have far-ranging effects which ultimately satisfies the goal of demons flourishing 900 years later. I guess?

In any case it’s not Serie will die. She’s predicted her own inevitable death this arc so many times the probability of it happening are now lower than escaping the event horizon of a black hole.

the only thing i can think of is what flamme said, that serie is a mage who isnt part of a peaceful era unlike frieren
>>
So if Serie took Flamme's will seriously would she have started the school in the empire and then none of this shit would've happened because she would literally be in charge of all of humanity's magic and control the empire basically?

Flamme probably didn't have much link to the Empire other than as a folk hero.

Shadow warriors being expendable doesn't make any sense, each one of them is like 100 level rogue who can fight a gigawizard 1v1
>>
>>282344816
What if its multiple lesser demons? One with precog that isn't nearly as comprehensive as Serie assumes but simply pinpoints her location, and another with a remote killing spell, both working under Lowe's guidance as an experienced assassin? And the idea of demons and humans cooperating or that young demons present a legitimate threat are both so unthinkable to Minus and Serie that its creating an exploitable blind spot.

CMA Solitar would be hilarious.
>Serie finally finds something that makes Frieren seethe
>Methode gets two lolis
>uses her exams for fucked up social experiments
>accidentally causes a suicide when she notices someone staring at her and Serie's feet and forces them to explain their fetish
>>
>>282324566
might be mirroring on the same level as what happened with Grausam, Serie is just going to get killed by someone with a similar type of future sight who at the same time dies for no reason at all because he foresaw her as a threat unless she was killed by him, ie really shitty communication and the future-sight being more of a self-fulfilling prophecy

>the Demon King wanting to abandon the militarized form of demon society
I mean he created that. Left to their own devices, the vast majority of demons have little interest in one another.

This anon is a demon! don't believe his liACK

Is this NTR

They can ambush them, but would lose in a 1v1 no items Final Destination duel.
They're not like Eisen or Himmel, they're min-maxed but even struggle with mid-tier mages like Ubel.
>>
stark killing serie would be the greatest plot twist I've seen in years
>>
>>282351675
Frieren knew Radar was coming and saw him before he attacked. She still got wrecked.
>>
>>282351992
Probably more likely hair girl
>But serie didn't sense any magic
Then she just killed her without using magic
She's the only one by Serie's side at all times she would never suspect, who would have a chance without ever being seen
Her wish was to sleep easily without remembering any of the bad things she's done
The shadows infiltrated the magic continent ages ago

She won't die m8. It's Frieren. The point is to redeem the character and celebrate life.
>>
>>282351992
stark is done for the rest of the arc, anon.
fern also made her move. only remaining ones who still yet to shine are the cma, serie, frieren, and sein.
>>
>>282340543
Because the conclusion of the fight happened off screen and will be revealed later
>>
>>282352049
Stark somehow jobbed to him twice for no reason, just to get to the climax of that fight. It wasn't a good one.
>>
>>282339467
I bet Minus and Milliarde have great feet
>>
>>282351992
there are plot twist an then there is nonsensical retardation

I want to FUCK Serie before she kill :(

Do you think imminent death could activate elves instinct to breed

There's probably a spell for that.
Which someone have been given from Serie by their request
