Schwarzbart Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 didn't we already learn from you that also humans can have auras right from the birth depending how strong they where in the parents? Also there some people that offer the service to change the aura of an unborn, although they mostly charlatan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Yep, and there are some Background which hint at that, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhialto Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 @Legate of Mineta: 1. Are female students not from Avila expected to wear dresses during formal functions? 2. Do satyrs ware specially made pants, human pants, or are they wearing skirts or dresses of varying lengths in order to cover their legs when it is appropriate?

Legate of Mineta Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Rhi; 1) Generally, such events do have a dress code which would include formal attire. For women, that is usually a dress in the Renaglian style. 2) They do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legate of Mineta Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Rhialto; Oh, trousers, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhialto Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Just now, Legate of Mineta said: Rhialto; Oh, trousers, yes. 1. But can satyrs wear human trousers, or are their legs too differently shaped? I am not being obtuse. 2. Lest I seem like a human with a trouser fetish (although honestly, I am asking these questions for the Y2 adventure "Beatrix von Wetgen's Wondering Band", which is planned to feature satyrs and a fancy party), here is another question, inspired by Harry Potter Fandom. Harry Potter fandom assumes that mages, even after they finish school, are much concerned with what colleges/houses of schools they went to or are suited for. Other fans criticize this concept. In the setting of Academagia, it has been established that colleges remain influential upon mages' lives long after they finish school. But are mages who went to the Academagia ever known to say (perhaps with condescension?) "you would have been perfect for X College?"

Legate of Mineta Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Rhialto; 1) If they are baggy enough, they could. 2) That's probably more personality than anything else, but I could certainly imagine certain Y1 Students saying that...;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhialto Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 @Legate of Mineta: Are people who share names with phemes vulnerable to the pheme or to magic in general? What about people (if any) who chose to use a pheme as their pseudonym? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Rhialto; No, the names are somewhat arbitrary, and generally unrelated to magical workings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhialto Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 @Legate of Mineta: Has there been any speculation, though, about the magical effects of a person's having a commonly used pheme as a name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Rhi; Not in modern times, no. Edit: That said, if you need it for a story, you can certainly have someone still researching, or curious about this topic. And there is no doubt that there might still be superstitions about it, especially among the non-magically educated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhialto Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 @Legate of Mineta: 1. So this issue has already been settled among scholars. Does this mean that it is only researched by cranks? 2. Speaking of phemes, do different languages and/or cultural areas give them different names? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Rhi; 1) Yes. 2) In rare cases, but within the Empire of Man, the Elumian names hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhialto Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 @Legate of Mineta: 1. Is there any tradition of mime or pantomime? 2. Was there any quarrel with King Morvidus due to his late arrival in the war against the dragons? I could understand how he could be accused of cowardice or incompetence for being late to the war. 3. Is there any taboo surrounding telling stories about the liberation war against the dragons? I am aware that stories about that war are constantly being told in various forms, but would there be horror if a storyteller were to admit that he/she, rather than basing his/her story upon oral tradition or a great past work, had simply made the story up? In this, I exclude comical interludes (although it would be interesting if there were such a strong taboo). 4. Are there legal or social limits upon how comical/incompetent dragons can be shown as being? I can imagine that there were at one time strong movements to preserve at all times the notion that dragons are dangerous and evil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Rhialto; 1) Pantomime, yes. 2) If there was, it's not recorded in History. That said, you may want to look at the Lores for other clues. 3) There's no problem spinning new stories, if it's in the right venue and form. 4) No, not particularly. In theater and song, Dragons are simultaneously all-powerful and comically inept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhialto Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 @Legate of Mineta: 1. I apologize if this question has been asked before, but how many known sky islands capable of supporting, say at least 100 people are known to geographers in the Empire of Man? 2. On 1/14/2019 at 3:01 PM, Legate of Mineta said: 3) There's no problem spinning new stories, if it's in the right venue and form. What would be a wrong venue and form for new stories? 3. Are there any traditions about humans being more magically powerful (as opposed to more magically knowledgeable/sophisticated) before or after the exile? 4. Is one common artistic motif showing the gods teaching humans astrology? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Rhi; 1) It hasn't, and I'm not sure the figure. I don't think anyone's considered it from that perspective, because that would mean water and arable land. 2) Presenting it as fact or something more than humor or an interesting story. 3) Before, yes. 4) Yes, it is often seen in government buildings or private decor as well.

Rhialto Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 @Legate of Mineta: Inspired by a semi-random event that I am writing: 1. Would I be correct in thinking that the more powerful gates summoning spells have higher probabilities of going wrong somehow? 2. Are summoned creatures catalogued in ranks according to their powers? 3. Would researching the previous two questions while not practicing or planning to practiced gates magic be legal? 4. Are summoned creatures that are capable of casting their own magic more dangerous to summon, and can summoning them more easily go wrong?

Legate of Mineta Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Rhialto; 1) The problems associated with Gates do not seem to have any relation to the complexity or power of a Spell- it applies to all, no matter how weak. Worse, when things go wrong, the results also do not seem to be tied to power or complexity... 2) No, although there has been some attempts to add them to a taxonomy. 3) Quasi-legal. It would certainly invite attention. 4) That chain of disaster is possible, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
