Not to mention she still has full use of the flexor digitorum profundus of her other arm.

@Ledasmon – In other mythos, at least, there are often alternatives albeit ones that people have to specifically learn or figure out. In some ways, it’s like trying to shoot with an injured trigger finger. Yes, it’s possible, but it will probably be awkward and less accurate unless you specifically trained to shoot with your other fingers and kept in practice. There was actually a nice bit in one of the Forgotten Realms War of the Spider Queen books where a wizard with his hands chained above his head managed to improvise a Knock spell using his toes for the somatic component.

In any case, if the fingers are that crucial to spell-casting you’d expect somebody to have invented some sort of aid to move the fingers into the appropriate positions, if by chance an injury rendered them incapable of the normal full range of motion.

^_^ Well, someone was bound to figure it out. Somehow, it doesn’t overly surprise me that Deadpool was the person. Despite a deservedly earned reputation for insanity, he’s got a knack for finding unorthodox but oddly astute solutions.

And here I had honestly thought “Flexor Digitorum Profundus” was just Deadpool making a silly Harry Potter-style joke about magic fingers. Wow. You really do learn something new every day.
