[i]Astra let out a frankly adorable giggle, her lips spread in a wide, delighted grin, pretty face practically beaming with amusement. She ran her fingers through Irina's silky, ivory hair, unable to help herself but to fawn all over the little psychopath, eagerly patting the top of her head, just demurely indulging herself on the feeling of the Vileblood's locks stroking over her fingers.[/i] "That's the general gist of it all, yes, though allow me to correct two minor faults." [i]She paused for just a second, using that short time to slip her hand down, tentatively booping Irina right on the tip of the nose. Astraeus was acting so uncharacteristically sweet and playful, it was heartwarming for sure.[/i] "You need those tools - weapons, yes - to harm mostly everything in that realm. It might be odd, but I shall try to explain... As with the wraiths, earlier, they cannot be harmed by physical means -- they are only spiritual. Everything sentient has both a physical body, and a spiritual one; their consciousness, really, which resides on the astral plane. If you were to snuff their physical form, they would soon reappear, but if you snuff their spiritual form... The gods [i]can[/i] appear physically, but mostly, they are only spiritual; ethereal; living within the astral plane. As such, to end them, you need such specialized gear: runed weapons amply work, but offensive sorcery does, too, as it does not take a physical form unless specifically crafted and woven to... And that, brings me to your second fault, despite it barely being a mistake, but rather, just a wrong assumption." [i]The little angel lightly booped her little lady on the nose again, her wings twitching and quivering just enough for Irina to feel it, wrapped up within them as she was.[/i] "And I just so happen to have plenty of both."
