It's hard to tell whether the spell becomes easier to cast, what with it being trivially easy to cast, but it's possible that Bella's post-flash exhaustion is dissipating more quickly? And as Bella keeps on trying out new ways of mistreating an innocent sword, she will eventually find a stance that seems a little easier on her wrist. A short time later it feels a lot easier on her wrist, and she feels inspired to slice up plants in a steadier way that uses a bit less energy.
Bella murderhoboes her way to a pair of huge imposing gates of stone bound with tin. Haroun identifies this as almost certainly the boss room, especially considering the restroom stalls nearby. This probably means they've explored around half the floor. They now have somewhere between 5 and 10 silver of loot before tax, which is not enough to get her a non-provisional adventuring license, and Haroun is even less sure about what it turns into after tax.
Does Bella daringly go into the Boss Room despite her previous plans, or continue murderhoboizing the remainder of the first floor? Also, was her previous sparing of the baby pineapples a one-time thing, or has she made it a general policy when confronted with pineapple nests?
