Hm, okay. I think my opinion may have been unduly colored by my memory of the original AMG anime, where punishments for gods were pretty severe. I was thinking the act of breaking the seal was in and of itself a serious crime, which could easily be compounded by what was done while the god was unsealed. > >In this case, there wasn't any significant celestially-inflicted >damage to the fabric of Midgard at all, accidental or otherwise, so... >there's not really anything further to investigate.

Makes sense, and thanks for the clarification. ------ Fearless creatures, we all learn to fight the Reaper Can't defeat Her, so instead I'll have to be Her |
