dyrhet Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Phemes are three dimensional, right? How are they represented in books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 If I remember right then books for mages can't be duplicated with the normal printing press because they need magic to be made. That means that in our school books and other books containing information for spells, pheme or palette the illustration are probably in some way 3 dimensional trough magic. But given the right perspective I think some easy pheme could be shown with 1 or 2 nonmagical 2d pictures (building plans for buildings are also just on 2D paper in our world).

Schwarzbart Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 1) How common is it that Academagia students in their 5th year are involved into top of the edge magic research? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Schwarzbart; Relatively uncommon, but not unknown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 Does the Elumian calendar have leap years? And if so, which years are they and where do they fit the day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 Free; They kind of do- they have intercalendar days which are used only occasionally. I don't recall the name immediately, but they do appear from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwarzbart Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 1) Are there confiscated items that we direct given back before the summer break because they are only illegal for 1st year or during our stay at Academagia? 2) Are there confiscated items that our parents decide if we get them back or not? 3) What happen to the items that are illegal by law within Mineta when a professor confiscate them?

Legate of Mineta Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 S; 1) No, once they are gone, they are gone...unless you can find them. 2) No. 3) They are intended to be destroyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 1) So in year 1 confiscated items that are not found again with year 1 are lost? (Its kind of sad to see this things not returned like Professor Lupin did for Harry) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 S; Illegal things are destroyed (Mastery and Gates)- but other things are kept, and you may be able to find them. Unfortunately, at least in Y1 & Y2, they are not returned. That's an engine limitation, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 I know we already had questions about the magicians but I can't remember if we ever got an answer to questions related to them. 1) At the Workshop Days we meet magicians but the text leave it kind of open if their "magic" is pure slight of hand or real magic? 2) If it is real magic the magicians use can our character learn this as well? 3) Are there known schools that teach magic that isn't based on Phemes/Palettes?

Legate of Mineta Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 S; I'll have to check this, but I seem to recall that it's not real magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhialto Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 @Schwarzbart: An excellent treatment of the relationship between mages and magicians is found in the Morvidus-exclusive adventure "Familiar Distress". @Legate of Mineta: 1. Would Miya be violating any laws by practicing her religion or talking about it to others? 2. Are student at Academegia ever taken boating as part of classes? or have such things happened in the past? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Rhialto; 1) Technically, yes, but there are unlikely to be any consequences as long as she keeps it private. 2) As a class? No- but certainly an activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhialto Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 1. What could the penalty be, if she were prosecuted? And were such laws more enforced in the past? 2. I can think of how boating would be a useful part of zoology, and perhaps incantation classes. Is this a correct guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Rhialto; 1) Temple Law can be pretty stark- it might involve fire. 2) Yes and yes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 Oh, man, the team must be busy this week. I noticed it right away. I keep thinking Y2 might be coming, but then I remember, its more likely some convention is underway. What does the team do there? I'd go myself if I didn't live in the middle of nowhere.

Rhialto Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 @Legate of Mineta: Would I be correct in thinking that Nugen's Alley is associated with Gates Magic? I ask because the in-game description is suggestive: "The mysterious Nugen’s Alley shows up only when someone with the ‘proper’ skills calls for it." And is the name Nugen an allusion to the Discworld god Nugen from Monstrous Regiment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 I really must not say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhialto Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 1. Is Miya the first student in Academagia's history to not belong to the state religion? 2. How much does the school know or care about her real background? Given the intrigue that has been mentioned as surrounding noble students from the Empire of Man, I would think that they would make at least a few inquiries - am I right? 3. What is the scholarly opinion about life from other worlds that would arrive through non-gates magic? Would such life (leaving aside scholarly opinions) be viewed with suspicion as merely a disguise for gates-created life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
