Design History

Above is the original sketch for Garand Magus.

The final concept for Magus' design is a cute, adorable wisp... but with a gun — which I think I recreated very well with her design shown above, but what do y'all think?

Originally, Garand Magus was gonna look more like the unused Sniper Skylander from Skylanders Giants, hence why Magus is the Magic Element Slayer. This was changed because I had an idea — a cute-yet-deadly mage with an M1 Garand.

Garand Magus will also have an ingame variant for Halloween, as seen in this post.

Backstory

Before Garand Magus got her name, she went by Tamira, and is an adventurous, gun-pun loving Wisp who adores searching for legendary treasures.

One day, during one of her escapades in the Arkeyan Armory, she came across an abandoned Arkeyan Gunsmith's workshop.

Out of curiousity, Tamira decided to search and investigate the workshop for any legendary treasures. But to her dismay, there were no legendary treasures there, but there was still one thing that caught her eyes: an ancient Arkeyan Garand rifle, with element-shifting bullets.

Tamira was astonished by the rifle's capabilities, so she, obviously, decided to keep it — hence her new name, the Garand Magus.

Weeks later, she would find herself meeting the Slayers, who needed a Magic Slayer by their side; Magus eagerly decided to join them, proclaiming herself as the Magic Slayer.

I should've added a *trigger* warning when making this post, ey?

What a *garand* finale that was.
