Fwd: [Mkguild] The Last Tale of Yajakali - Chapter LXV

[Pontos]

I don't really like the idea of manipulation on the effects of the Curse 
by means like bows (a way of divine intervention on a specific group), 
or things like one's willpower.
As Virmir said, Matthias can always make that in this case none of them 
get affected with the TG curse by random chance.

I actually think that the nuns who may get changed with the TG curse 
will in fact be facing something they can interpret as a trial, putting 
their faith to test. Since Matthias stated they were not afraid of it, 
then that pretty much shows their faith is strong enough to serve their 
beliefs.
All this depending on the final decision on this matter, of course.
