    It was more of a reply to Aeyis of whom was implying that Midgardsormr removing the blessing was permanent. Better to just play along with it. However, in context to what Midgardsormr said during that line, "stripping" the blessing is implied to be temporary - hence, "sealing" in the japanese text. Temporarily removing something is quite similar to sealing something which is what I was pointing out.

    I know what you replied to; I merely meant that using the synonym "removing" is fair use :p

    (Plus another fifteen or so meanings, but I couldn't very well quote all of them, could I? Link.)

    The word stripping in itself has no automatic implication of being temporary. Even if the intention of the word was meant to be 'temporary removal', the word choice wasn't the best.
