The reason Kherstian symbols, objects, and prayers harm her more than the others is not because Khersis is particularly strong or has [[GodsNeedPrayerBadly a lot of worshippers]], but rather because she was raised in a society of prominently Kherstian faith. When someone starts praying in fear, or waving around an un-blessed holy symbol, it triggers a reflex to stop messing with the mortals before someone gets hurt. Full demons actually do have to deal with the gods themselves, and other half-demons (if they've been shown in-story at all to be harmed by faith and the symbols thereof, rather than straight divine magic) are harmed because they messed with the natural order of things, and killed too many beings under the protection of a more powerful demi- or full-deity. If divine magic is present every time other half-demons were harmed, then this theory holds for Mack's SuperPoweredEvilSide as well. It would explain why Mack felt sick around (Dee?)'s [[FlatEarthAthiest Flat Earth Solipsist]] symbol but not the Mechan stuff (since she considered the former a "true but lesser" faith and the latter a bunch of kids playing around at being the universe's equivalent of Ninja Storm PowerRangers).

*** [[YouFailLogicForever ...Bwuh?]] The suggestion is that demons don't rampage, citing as support lack of mentions of violently rampaging full demons - and that's a specific counter-example.

We are told multiple times that Dee had an elder brother who died before she was born, an event which has left her mother deeply depressed and longing for a son. What if her brother is only symbolically dead (as in ‘dead to me’) rather than literally dead and in fact ran away to the surface in the manner of [[ForgottenRealms Forgotten Realms’s]] [[Literature/TheDarkElfTrilogy Drizzt]]. Part of the reason Dee’s been sent on her own surface path would be to find him. Of course, given that this is Tales of MU, the whole [[OverusedCopycatCharacter run away Drow cliché]] would be turned on its head.

Way I see it, mechans are among the more accurately portrayed magical scientists(what that says about the genre is another topic entirely), factoring in the fact that ''no one'' knows where magic came from or can describe it in any terms that seem consistent I'd guess that, as the Arkanites believe gods are SufficentlyAdvanced creatures [[AbusingTheKardashevScaleForFunAndProfit are at least type four]].

* My guess is ''some kind of sexually transmitted "[[Main/RanmaOneHalf Spring of the Drowned Man]]" curse''. Okay, I know the only detail supporting this version over less insane forms is the protection discussion in [[http://www.talesofmu.com/story/?p=81#more-81 Chapter 62]], especially the line, "I’m just trying to think of everything I wish somebody had told me…" but what is WMG/WildMassGuessing for if not insane theories?
