#green slime man with a plan
im sure they actually came up with really clever spells but it would be hilarious if howl and suliman just outsourced first aid kits from our world. like all the orders they got from the king to equip their soldiers with healing spells they were just like ‘cool give us a few days’ and went and bought bulk orders of stuff from a pharmacy in wales
honestly this is what I always assumed they did. if I remember correctly the descriptions sound like DWJ trying to describe mundane things from our world in a new context, and honestly Howl at least is a lazy bastard who would DEFINITELY go to a pharmacy in wales and claim it’s Dramatic New Magic
it’s even better to imagine that he did not consult wizard suliman on this, so ben ends up just standing there long-suffering
trying to hold back a laughwhile howl unveils the marvel that is the Not-A-First-Aid-Kit, such genius, much vision
#howl being like I got this ill get you the STRONGEST magic known to mankind#(aka. ibuprofen)
