Maybe the technique was invented by a very short-armed demiurge :colbert:

(A cubit is the length from your elbow to your middle finger tip)

I think Incubus might still be in the driver's seat here. "You are the master, there is nothing to fear!" feels like a practiced line, and this isn't his first seduction-via-offer-of-power-and-knowledge-in-dreams rodeo.

It's the style that has you headbutt things like a furious idiot. They ram three studs into their heads that makes their heads nigh untouchable to any blade or strike while the rest of their body is the usual.

This is probably what Incubus tells himself at night when he's deeply sad about how his power isn't making him happy.

Incubus would get more respect if he had taken his position by force than if he had just claimed it after Maya abdicated. I think perhaps he regrets not taking his chance to try.

His preoccupation with ambition suggests that he's overcorrecting for his prior hesitance. At the time, he didn't think he could take her on; currently, he thinks he could have.

I actually don't think Maya would have won the fight, or rather, would have achieved an outcome worth fighting for. Incubus was probably at the height of his skill when she abdicated, the leanest and meanest he would ever get, and some of the under-comic text talks about how she left in part to let him get bloated and indolent while he rotted on the throne.

As Allison approaches Royalty, a cubit's definition approaches "one tenth of that spear".

Maya didn't just leave the throne, she left her seventh of the Key of Kings as well. And skills are nice but the Keys count for a lot too.

You can call it a Ten Cubit Spear even if it's not ten cubits long. That only requires a very small, easily attainable amount of royalty.

Why is it called that? Because that's the approximate amount of blood you lose every time it strikes you.

Royalty is a continuous shitposting motion.
Hold up, who's got some receipts about Incubus being able to take Maya back before he took the key that she passed up? I thought it was known that she had that seat at the table for the taking, and she walked away from it leaving it to the best of the rest (who ended up being Incubus).

E: re: Head of John

Manual of Hands and Feet posted:

“HEAD OF JOHN

An internal style focused on hardening the self. After many years of preparation and training, practitioners ram three metal studs into their skull, piercing the bone and blocking the flow of Atum at precise meridians. The studs extrude from the skull slightly and are said to be uncomfortable in cold weather. Once this ritual is accomplished, there is a healing, fasting, and meditation period of three weeks. After this, the practitioner finds that the skin of their head and neck becomes almost impermeable to harm and able to exert incredible force. It cannot be cut, severed, or scored by any blade, though I have seen many try.

The chief feature of this style is using the head as a blunt weapon. I have seen acolytes shatter bone with their headbutts in practice and an elder monk break a temple wall with the fierce application of his forehead. By practice of meditation they are also said to have accomplished unbelievable feats. It is a common story among the monks that their most senior member had his body destroyed and his head severed while defending the temple many years ago. His head survived for four weeks without a body, and was later sewn back on to the body of a deceased temple guard, which quickly revivified both the body and the head. I could not verify his claims but his neck did have a most spectacular scar. ”
