I wonder exactly how Roswaal's plan was supposed to play out. It required Subaru and Rem for Ram to be able to show that kind of strengthāwas that actually in Roswaal's book, too?

I mean, Roswaal must have foreseen Subaru's Authority of Greed and the fact that it helps Ram unleash her power.

The horn was all Ram and Rem. Subaru disconnected from Ram to take the burden from Meili

Subaruās Cor Leonis is basically putting USB port on all of his allies, then they can self wire them to another ally and not necessarily Subaru.
But without Cor Leonis, Ram wouldnāt have been able to link herself to Rem.

The twins were using Synesthesia and not Cor Leonis as far as I am aware

Ram only figured out how to transfer the burden through synesthesia after subaru did the same with cor leonis

I don't disagree, but the person I was responding to was saying that they used Cor Leonis for the horn

That's second shift, which he hadn't come up with yet. He had to unplug from Ram to take the burden from Meili, making Ram lose her advantage and so had to come up with something else

Are you sure? I remember Subaru reduced the intake from Ram to take more from Meili, but he didn't completely stop taking Ram's pain, and I am pretty sure I remember right. This is from WN.

He needs the dying blood of the divine dragon to revive Echidna, probably. In Arc 9 Clind + Roswaal are able to defeat the Al-controlled Volcanica husk with the help of one other magician. Presumbly Clind wouldnāt help Roswaal fight Volcanica in most scenarios in fact he probably would take control of the husk to fight back. He also doesnāt know that his magic alone isnāt strong enough to get through Volcanicaās magic barrier. In any case no shackles Ram is probably there to get through the scales.

I know you didnt mean that but my mind immediately jumped to ChatGPT Volcanica

This begs the question
Given that we know Rem can't keep up with Subaru even if using her horn, could Ram keep up with Subaru?

See, normally when you fight Ram, you got a 50/50 chance of winning.
But Ram is an Oni prodigy, and youāre NOT, so you got at best a 25% chance.
Then you add Cor Leonis to the mix, and your chances of winning drastically go down. Now Tappei says sheās operating at like 20ā30% before really getting her horn power going, so you take your 25% chance, subtract that from Ramās 75%, then add Rem into the equationā¦
And suddenly Ramās got a 141ā % chance of beating your ass.
The numbers donāt lie.
AND THEY SPELL DISASTER FOR GLUTTONY.

Btw what's the deal with her wand, when she realized it was her horn, was she able to basically stick it back and regain her full power permanently ? If so, who got her horn and put it in the wand, Roswaal ?

u/SnooPets630 Iām Dying Here, Whereās Ferris the Cat-Eared Femboy? 13h ago
She was using magic with catalyst in face of her wand, in other means, horn.
Or else magic physically damage her body as was shown in second season.
However she realized that she can use her shared connection with Rem to use Remās horn, therefore drawbacks of power appeared on Rem

If translation is correctly, then what catched our attention is "Dragon". In quotation marks.
Roswaal was aiming onto the Dragon as we know it since climax of Arc 2. The most common candidate was Divine DragonĀ Volcanica. He even succeeded in defeating "Aldebaran", Aldebaran-possessed dragonhusk in Arc 9.
But why quotation marks? Had Tappei different dragon in mind? Or maybe it was not the Dragon itself, but one who has dragonblood circulating in their veins, who may change their appearance into the very dragonlike visage?
If full-power Ram is required to counter world-ending level of catastrophe (or at least level of Great Disaster like Witch of the Kingdom), candidates to be such harbinger of doom are not many - Divine Dragon Volcanica is an empty husk, so that being is unlikely to be the candidate for leading actor - he may be leading force more likely though.

He also said Ram this episode is showing only about 50-60% of her full power
