He made flaming horns! How does he make the fire bend like that? He is truly a mad scientist!
Hierophant gets a chance to flex some magic plant muscle. That last panel was actually easy. I already had the 3D model of the building. I just downloaded a “thorny vine” brush from the Clip Studio assets and drew a bunch of vines entangling the building. Used some different sizes and colors. Easy.

(sorry Matt for the re–direct to another WC, just trying to help a brother out, the end of McNinja was EPIC)
