2.- It's semi common, actually. It's more of an odd balls that start only with some ideas and then made up things on the fry.

In my head right this very moment I'm holding plans for an epic 4 parts Nanoha series (6 parts, if I plan to include something for the current two mangas) involving Yuuno, Chrono and Acous using elements that I've picked up from reading studying Index, and some parts from watching 'Burn Notice', 'Fringe', 'White Collar' and 'Justified', nothing too game changing, just more than enough for you to feel where the inspiration comes from. I've already thought up of several warring organization, and their history and their ideology and culture and politics and how all that clashes with each other in a Mafia sort of way. I've even prepared a special style of magic technique that I picked up from watching 'Horizon'. ...Haven't really written pass part one though.

That damned Kamachi with his foreshadowing. Now, I cannot understand if he planned out everything or just played his cards right enough to make me believe in the first statement.

Hm, that's what my tired brain can make out of some small research for fanfic. I forgot where was the mention of Touma not feeling the aura from Index in first volume (hello, precognition!)... Alright, I'm done for now otherwise I'd drag it for a loooooong time. |

The point is, if you're writing a plot and setting intenisve story, you'll definately be planning ten steps ahead with an entire Universe figured out.

He failed because he didn't believe in himself. Touma's words won't keep reaching everyone and Touma only could stop what he could touch. That won't save him every time. Plus, if you call fenrir, his siblings will come as well, and one Archangel cost him a trip into the sea.

Well, it's different for NT, though. He probably had the whole series planned out in advance. |

That's not possible. Maybe I should phrase it differently: Killing Othinus using Fenrir would directly lead to Ragnarok, which Olleris would never allow. Same reason for Othinus or her followers to never try it. For Ollerus, there's no other known method to kill Othinus other than using Fenrir, so it's a stalemate for now.

Secondly, Ollerus said if he could have done so, he would have killed her a long time ago- This implies that a method does not yet exist, rather than a method which price is too high to pay, or else he would had said 'I couldn't even if I wanted to', a technicality maybe, but I would like to think it means something.

And you're reading too much into the wordings of the novel. After all, it's the translated version of a line from a language that emphasizes on subtlety and written by an author whose style usually consisting of indirect implications. As you said, it could have been technicality, and your preferences in its meaning doesn't necessary hold true. |

I just remembered something from the Norse SS.
One of the chapters was about Naglfar, a ship transporting Hel's army, made of dead people's nails. In the myth this ship is not supposed to set sail until Ragnarok, yet nobody mentioned in the novel that such ship could onset it. So maybe it's possible to use a Fenrir themed spiritual item without bringing the end of the world. |

Anyway, this doesn't have anything to do with you reading too much into the dialogue, so don't change the subject. And we're all speculating, aren't we? Our basis is that she looks like Odin and is trying to forge Odin's most powerful weapon. Is that not enough to assume that her power is connected to Odin? |

You know, I actually figured her to be like...Date Masamune's daughter or something.
Jokes aside, it will be relatively safe to assume that those with Nordic gods/heroes nicknames will have powers similar to those of the original versions. But do note that her 50/50 ability is as a majin, not of Norse mythology.

Sure you can speculate and I never deny that her powers are connected to Odin, but the moment you start talking about elements that have not yet been properly introduced into the story as if they were facts... Well, that would raise a few eyebrows now wouldn't it? Once Again, Kamachi's ideology about this kind of issue never changes- If the answer was that simple, somebody would have already done it. But instead of bringing up your suggestion, Ollerus' focus in his dialogue with Othinus was on the 50:50 chance, implying that was her one and only main weakness. Another thing, while she maybe be using the name 'Othinus', while she may be using Odin's power, it does not make her Odin himself- To say that Ragnarok would start because of her defeat... Well that's pretty far fetch.
