pyrrhic victory its an earth-exclusive term. I feel the author missed a great chance there to have the transgender familiar make a comment about pyrrhic victory, there. Google its origin. It is impossible for other worlds to have the term

Thanks for the comment. I'm probably going to replace this with just 'costly' victory. While I adhere by my modus operandi of using Earth terms whenever possible instead of inventing new ones (and many of our words are adapted from history circumstances/situations), a pyrrhic victory denotes a 'hollow victory' which is not just expensive and fails to capitalize on any results. That's not the case here. -- Aorii
