It's even possible to have a third strike as long as you get in a second impact first. tongue

And somewhere out there are angels seeking to achieve a third impact, we'll be in for epic thunderstorms if they manage it.

Sure, you can have two strikes in a row. You do them in consecutive frames and not the same frame (unless you're in the 10th frame, of course), but it's totally possible. Though if you want to split hairs, I can start being more precise with tenpin bowling terminology.

I'm actually gonna go ahead and pretend that you were using fighting game terminology instead and Janet actually used an overpowered move that can deal fatal damage twice in one hit.

@23428 That's probably a good call.

As for students and powers. When Kat was told to make a boat a flesh body the students were hit with special stamps that restricted powers.

I think every student in the Court has some sort of supernatural ability.

And the robots know Shinto spells 😆

No seriously though. Shinto. That's what those tags were. Like the Cleanse Tag from pokemon?

That was my assumption as well. Just wasn't sure if it had been explecitely stated at some point.

Considering the large number of anti magic stamps that were used.

So which of her three animal boyfriends will Little Orphan Annie take a fling with first?

I don't think everyone in the Court can do magic. People like Kat and her family are more focused on using technology.

Actually, it turns out that literally everyone at the Court can do or is affected by magic, either actively or passively.

Except the Headmaster. Which is why he always looks so glum. Must suck being the only guy without access to magic.

What's the trope for Franklin Richards and the Rubik's Cube?

That sounds more like a strange Fantastic Four / Harry Potter crossover than a trope.

Annie bowls like I do, except the ball is for 5 pin bowling and probably not weighted so a child can throw it (also mine wasn't so physics defying).

I feel your pain Annie. I actually managed to do number three once.
