Understanding episode 11

Umm...are we supposed to just forget that Will and Colette have been doing this on the regular? in the tournament, Colette summons Will a magic gauntlet which allows him to do magic damage to golems which previously were immune to his physical damage (plus giant area of effect damage) and lets him cast at least limited earth spells by punching the ground. She also regularly summons more powerful than normal swords for him, as she did in this very episode so he could cut off the wing. This is apparently so normal for them that Will doesn't even have to explain, he just says "Colette!" and she automatically knows what to do. WillXColette, obviously.

The idea of empowering Will with magic to create a situation where super strength+magic is stronger than the sum of its parts is not new. How is a flaming sword which gives him a stronger magic attack meaningfully different than an earth gauntlet which gives him a stronger magic attack? Just because they didn't call it "wand plus sword" previously?

@amf85 I think in that case Colette straight up just made him a sword and gauntlet and they were just solid objects made of earth. The 'Wis' as they called it was the sword absorbing the magic and becoming a magic sword so this is magic + strength whereas the first situation was just rock shaped as sword

I did go back and check the gauntlet scene before writing my comment. In Episode 5, the gauntlet lets him deal damage (a LOT of damage) against the golems. Colette then says "even if he can't use magic, if he attacks with a magical gauntlet, we're not breaking the rules," definitely implying (to me) that the gauntlet is intended to add magic damage to his attacks to give him the magic damage he lacks, even if I suppose they don't come right out and say it. In the next scene, he punches the ground and creates a large earth shield which appears to rise from the ground without a corresponding shaped/sized crater.

@amf85 im pretty sure thats his natural strength isnt it? though the shield wall was a little too perfect thats true, the crater thing was probably cos they didnt animate it. but you could be right

guys how rosti come to will so earlier than worknor even though he was on foot? 💀
