*sigh* ... I am, unfortunately, something of a stickler for detail.
My *OPINION* is, that there are plenty of canonical spells in Slayers to
account for *most* purposes - crossing between worlds isn't one of them,
for the most part; that's why Inverse Gateway was a good addition ... and
*PLEASE* do not get me wrong about this: I thought it *was* a good
addition for the purposes - you wrote a very good incantation for it!
If you want to use "non-canonical" spells, feel free - C&C is not
hard and fast instructions, but just something which the C&Cer thinks
would make the fic better. *I* thought using canonical spells would be
better; you have every right to disagree if you see fit.
Perhaps I made the mistake of thinking that you were trying to
refer to spells used in the anime, and had gotten the names wrong; in
either case, I apologize if you feel like I was flaming your work just for
that. I *do* think Slayers X looks good so far, and I dearly hope to see
more of it.
(P.S. - If I send a private response to someone about a fanfic, or
answering a question, I prefer *not* to see my response getting back to
the FFML at large - particularly in the form of a single line. -.-;;
Please - Nightman, *and* everyone else - if I send you a private reply,
deal with me about it directly? ^^;)
