Cool episode with flashbacks. I gather the Holy Emblem is something bestowed upon by Serie. Flamme probably brought Frieren to Serie to be recognised as "a true mage".

It makes sense that Fern is not to use complex spells during battle since speed is entirely her thing. That said, Frieren isn't exactly slow. Between this fight and the sleeping-plant fight, she's pretty bloody quick. Now whether that's mostly decision-making vs spell activation is a different matter - but the end result is that she's quick.

I laughed out loud at Frieren letting Denken soak. I kinda expected her to cast a barrier but nope, just gtfo xD.

Denken going a fistfight was a good detail. He sees magic as a tool, not his entire identity. The mindset seemed to be that most mages wanted "their spell" kind of like how the demons did. I suppose Zoltraak technically is one such spell - it's just commonly known. (Anti-demon variant aside)
