idk, I think maybeness might really do some damage, even if it's not a killing blow. Maya says that those who lack the ability to choose their fate will be cut. Even though he is trying to end it by destroying existence once and for all, Jagg firmly believes in the wheel, fate, and the way he's fated to do everything he's doing.

Maybe! Maya's wording suggests that it's not so much just choosing not to die, as much as it cuts anything which believes itself bound by fate. Jagganoth's whole deal is that he believes he is a fated, inevitability. A constant of fate. The Maybe Sword will only cut him until such a point in which he is willing to break his role in the cycle, and choose his own fate. So by that point even if the sword stops cutting he'll have found himself in a position where he's questioning his place in the turning of the wheel. It's a win-win either way.

I figured she used it to cut his head clean off, just that this didn't kill him as much as she'd like. This is her fault for not just just going full Aesma and Cutting all the space around him until his whole body is a million technically adjacent pieces (that might have made him doubt his ability to heal form it and then die from lack of focus)

The Maybe Sword did cut him cleanly, and it would have killed him cleanly, but as Maya said on page 10 Incubus is very strong in Blood Alchemy. Much like Jagganoth's former master Jantris who cheated his appointed death by extending his life much the same way. Honestly, this whole chapter has really shown that Incubus has never had a single original thought in his head. He's a swordsman because Maya wanted to be one. He's a demiurge because Maya was one. He became a master of Blood Alchemy because Jantris was one. All his life he's amassed power by copying the greats around him, never truly mastering his own strengths.

He's like a teenager making his very first original character by copying all the cool things he sees from other characters.

I don’t think originality is really something this comic is emphasizing as a failing of Incubus. Every demiurge - Maya included - is following a path laid for them. Maya was no more inventive in the question that hounded her, having inherited it from Meti.

Allison’s the only one genuinely doing something new and without regard for what came before.

Jags has repeated the cycle so much his rut in it is kitted out with easy chairs and tasteful throw pillows. IDK why you'd think he was capable of determining his own destiny

Not the only one. She's chosen friends who are all like that, too. White Chain has transcended the nature of angels, Cio became more than any other devil, Nyave and Zaid are both on far different paths than the "plans" for their lives. It's infectious, too.

For real, though, situating progressive thought as the linchpin to save a stagnant universe is pretty cool.

Insofar as anyone can anyway. All things already happened and all, Jadis remains correct.

So she chose the fate she already had and already was going to have.
