**SPOILERS** What I would love to see in a DLC superboss

SpoilerTheory

I seen a post this morning someone mentioned about how they would go about dealing with super damage builds on the DLC.

This took me down a rabbit hole on what they could do for the DLCs superboss and I think what could make the most sense would be a writer.

A painter can create life but can't create context. I'm sure Aline never created Verso with the intention that he would eventually join an expedition to bring her down. Maybe a writer on the other hand would be able to create context. In battle I imagine he would be able to alter or delete damage amounts done to him. He might be able to delete pictos and lumina, remove abilities, maybe even change targets (IE Maelle attacks xxxx > Maelle attacks Verso), change equipment, change party members, really do anything to make the battle a difficult but fun one.

In universe maybe they can say he was the one that lit the fire and fell into the painting somehow and maybe Clea took his physical body away from the painting (which is why he wasn't there when you walk up to the canvas) so she can interrogate him when he ejected from the painting

I mean that's just a half-baked idea I had during my morning commute, but I would LOVE to see something about a writer just to pull the curtain back a little bit more on that storyline
