I still don't understand what people don't get about Velvet being a mage type.

"I hope the box opens and turns into a turret gun!" What in the actual fuck about "turret gun" says "mage" to you people?!

While I'm at it, what about "bow and arrow" says "mage"?! That would make her an archer. I don't care if the arrows would be tipped with dust. It would still make her an archer. Also, she wouldn't need to sling a box over her shoulder to carry a bow and some arrows.

She also wouldn't need the box to carry a staff or a wand.

And having it just be a box full of dust wouldn't be very practical. You wanna know a practical way for someone to carry dust to use in combat? Look at Cinder's stealth suit. She had containers of dust strapped to her belt. Instead of fiddling around in a box, she grabbed a container from her side.

Whatever's in the box, it'll need to be one thing she can take out and toss the box aside. Otherwise, the box is gonna cause a lot of problems. If she wants to keep the box with her, she'll need to keep opening it to grab other things. If she keeps it open while keeping it with her, it'll limit the movement of her arm on that side. If she needs to keep it open without it getting in her way, it'll have to be on the ground or on her back or front. Therefore, I'm pretty sure it's not just gonna be a box full of dust vials and dust crystals.

Needless to say, though, I'm stumped, and I'm with you, Mercen. The reveal better be interesting.
