Yeah, same here. The ending was a genuinely suspenseful piece of writing and it showed that the Guild is in dire need of help or else they are going to suffer the consequences. Mavis may be a strategist extraordinaire, but even strategists know if they're limited in number of tools at hand, they can't fulfill the objective. It's like giving the world's best chess player five pawns, a knight and a bishop while your opponent has a full compliment of pieces and that's how you start the game. Sure, you may be good, but even someone slightly less better than you can overwhelm you by sheer attrition alone.

I'd like to see the Wizard Council (also the Wizard Saints) actually get off their butt and DO something for a change. It'd be the first time the Council has done anything other than fire a Magical Sattelite way back in the Heaven's Tower Arc. Other than that, they've been useless. Hopefully they can change that soon
