There's no hint that sharing mana has anywhere near that kind of loss rate. Jade stole the mana the Lightning Djinn was about to use on a spell, Sidhe regularly recycles Blue mana used during her and Jade's practice sessions, Indira bribed a bunch of branch family members to release mana for her own practice...
Agneyastra couldn't release mana without giving it a purpose (either because of restrictions, or a limitation of the Djinn power), and had to deliberately create a failed spell to work around it:
In exchange for seeing some wicked cool constructs, and some tips on proper Red cleansing? More than a fair trade.
Agreed, but learning harvest is optional. Harvest is just to ensure they have mana to spare for Jade's demonstrations.
Yes, and they're mistaken; shattering a soul gem/grief seed releases the soul within, it does not destroy it.
Since Jade's soul doesn't produce grief anymore, how else is she supposed to practice creating fire that only burns grief? Better a grief seed than an actual living soul gem. It would be risky if she didn't know what she was doing, but since she's very close to perfecting her technique, the risk is as minimal as it can be.

No. She was contracted about a month and a half ago; Kyubey contracts willing adults now, although they're often weaker in potential (and thus standard MG magic) than teenagers are.
Thus far? They don't. Kyubey's controller says they're working on that.
I'm surprised Jade isn't more confused over her appearance that caused her "First Law". I thought she had no memory of what happened at that point. Did Agneyastra explain the sequence of events offscreen at some point?

Is this still true? Considering how hard she blew out her restrictions and how much she's influenced us...
Hm...
"Lone agni servant raises long lost heir to conquer the multi-verse" sounds like propoganda they might like actually.
YES.

Well, as far as organizing a scientific field goes, there are some things. You need to have paper indexing system in place, like scopus or web of science. You want to have social networks too.
As far as organizing the conference goes: @Alivaril how much do we (players) need to go into detail? I can share some experience with organizing a scientific conference if needed.
In general, however, you need to:
1) organize accommodation. Depending on the budget, level of organization and type of event this may range from naming hotels in close vicinity of the conference hall that people might want to book, to working out arrangements with said hotels for discounts / making sure there are rooms available, to booking rooms is those hotels and then reselling them to participants, to outright providing housing for participants (especially if you are an institute and have dorms available).
Organizing transport to and from airports (and in general) also goes here.
2) organize reception and catering. Coffee breaks, lunch, conference dinner and reception are all important part of socialization that goes into conferences
3) organize social programme. Tours, basically. Maybe a concert.
4) organize the presentations. This means technical support, and, in our case, we could show off some of MGLN-tech (ie hologram projectors and such).
5) Manage the media. You always get media, and, in most cases, want to get the conference covered, as it raises its status. In this case here, we don't want much attention.
In our specific case, we might also want to organize protection for areas pyros leave. Pay nearby magical girls to substitute for pyros? That should work.

This is sounding like something that we would like more than a week to prepare.
Edit: Nevermind forgot that Mom is overpowered. Still do keep in mind that our funds are actually limited.

[X] Decline. You have a bunch to do and not a lot of time to do it in. Not to mention you've promised your friends no trouble.
-[x] You're best with Detonate, Fire Constructs, and Cleansing. Mental defenses would be a week-long seminar all by themselves, so that's out. You never worked with empathy, lightning, or geomancy, so maybe other speakers could demonstrate those?
-[x] Set the date late enough that Nanoha will have enough Red mana control to benefit from the conference as well, and doesn't interfere with your others commitments (XCOM, etc.)
-[X] Say goodbye to Kanon and planeswalk back to your friends.
[X] Ask Mom why she's so adamant on banning Red/Green Channeling; you already don't like the idea of Channeling into a berserker but you wonder if it's something about your vessel enhanchements, the War Hero mod or another thing.
[X] Try to listen for prayers, both from here and Magnostadt. "Worship doesn't stretch across planes", but Neph didn't mention prayers.
edit: actually we have plenty on the table already. I think it would be more fun to meet with Aria with our friends instead of learning & trading MG tricks. I'm sceptical about MG magic in general, must be because I think its weaker or its not worth the effort to learn it.

Can we avoid spinning another plate? We are dealing with XCOM, Sigure, the problem on Magi and preparing for the Jewel seeds.
If she isn't a thousand year old magical device, then she's not old enough to be our mother. Maybe an aunt, or just a Respectable Older Female Figure.Louise Anholts is old enough to be your mother (39). Jade has fought having proper adult supervision on her quest so far, so why would she start now?
This looks weird. We say that we would like to learn MG magic, but then turn around and talk about mana magic?
Agneyastra is just a few hundred years old though (made shortly before the fall of Agni). She is even younger in subjective time (a decade or two old, I think).
Children always think their parents are older than they really are. Also, Agneyastra was made with some archeotech, so I'm technically not wrong, which is all that matters on the internet.

No.
This is less of an ongoing commitment anyway. Far as I can tell we're just going to be popping back in later to teach Red mages how not to Witch.

I actually meant using postcognition to look at Siofra's precog training breakthroughs in the past. We proved we can do that when we investigated the Ethereals.
I rephrased the vote so that it's clearer.
Does anyone have better suggestions what we should scry for?
Velgarth is disabled (empty brackets) since we should speak with Kal'enel at one of her temples first.
I'm deliberately not scrying Remnant's moon, since
Hah, no. Go poke Remnant's moon, I dare you.
Who says that wasn't horribly inefficient? Just because she did it doesn't mean she did it well.
Both of which trained to work with foreign mana. I'm not saying that the transfer is inherently wasteful, but Jade never worked on her technique with it.
We want magic demonstrations in exchange for those, so requesting their mana means we get less knowledge. Besides, giving tips on Red cleansing when we haven't mastered it yet and will present it for free on the conference?
Destroying the Seed, yes. But we're working with fire that can damage or destroy the soul.
Jade only needs to bind the fire to selectively burn things that aren't alive, so she can probably practice on any living organism with dead parts. @Alivaril, does Jade think practicing on tree bark would work?
We might also want to review Siofra's purification process again which uses White, Red, and Black:
Once we arrange time and place, mom can probably handle those far easier than Kanon, so I guess we should deal with that before we leave?
Location: I can see two criteria. Number of local pyros and Red concentration in the area.
New York might be an option, since it apparently stands out globally:
Then again, it's pricey and Kanon was already worried about the cost of plane tickets, so unless we pay for the hotel it might not be an option.
Hmm... would an "Enhance Cooking" workshop count as relaxation? We demonstrate the basic technique and then everyone including us gets to experiment. Bonus points since we learn more from observing others.
If you mean the "biannual" part of my vote, organizing it doesn't force us to participate, and besides, the next conference would be 6 months away, which is longer than the duration of the quest so far.
Two errors, and the XCOM meeting isn't even in the 1-3 weeks time-frame we suggested. The only other date we have to worry about is Sidhe's birthday on Sep 22 and I doubt Jade would forget that, so IMHO your addition is unnecessary.
I don't really care whether we ask or not, so I'll add it for now. If a majority is against, feel free to suggest removing it though.
[x] Decline. You're low on mana and only have about 2h right now. Hash out the basics for the pyro conference instead.
-[x] You're best with Detonate, Fire Constructs, and Cleansing. Mental defenses would be a week-long seminar all by themselves, so that's out. You never worked with empathy, lightning, or geomancy, so maybe other speakers could demonstrate those?
-[x] Set the date late enough that Nanoha will have enough Red mana control to benefit from the conference as well.
-[x] Does Kanon have a location in mind? If not, New York probably has decent ambient Red mana levels.
-[x] Once time and place are set, ask mom whether she would handle funding, accommodation, airport shuttles, catering, and relaxation for the conference. Let her decide whether to offer free flights and housing.
-[x] Ask mom how hard it would be to establish biannual conferences, research grants, and a scientific journal on mana and soul magic.
[X] Ask Mom why she's so adamant on banning Red/Green Channeling; you already don't like the idea of Channeling into a berserker but you wonder if it's something about your vessel enhancements, the War Hero mod or another thing.
[X] Try to listen for prayers, both from here and Magnostadt. "Worship doesn't stretch across planes", but Neph didn't mention prayers.
[X] Planar scrying: You're now able to direct your plane glimpses, but your view gets blurry "for a while" after a few questions. The sooner you start, the sooner it will recover for a second round.
-[X] Earthland: Postcog Siofra to learn about her Origin's affinities and the breakthroughs in her precog training.
-[X] Science plane: What is a SCIENCE spark? Take a regular look at the political situation as well.
-[X] Magi plane: Devoid mana to eradicate.
-[X] Thedas: Shinies in the Fade.
-[] Velgarth: Adept potentials that would part with their mage gift, preferably even want to get rid of it. If you think narrowing it down helps, focus on Valdemar's borders, the Dhorisha Plains' borders, and Karse.

I'll have to check the reason when I'm on a computer, but Jade should know about it.
No. Black mana might be close, though.
Other Reds have already gone far further with Enhance Cooking than you have. One of them even has her own cooking manga (with some extreme artistic liberties taken).
Mom may be overpowered (she is) but won't be here to oversee the preparations.
It's about a border case: it shouldn't be close enough to the lower bound (a week) as the meeting with XCOM is in 6 days and we need some time to recover any mana we used there, then planeswalk to PMMM, summon and recover mana again.

Depends on how much can be done over the internet. If the answwer is 'most of it', popping over for a minute every day should be enough.

I must have missed that; that shows a different picture of what I imagined: it means there's still a lot of non-mage magical girls. Just to be clear, can OMG cleanse nonmage MG?
I though Jade didn't remember the moments where she was never-confirmed-drugged which started after she returned from Uminari; then again according to the Character Sheet Jade doesn't remember well shen she got Agneyastra's summon, and that happened just before Channeling Red (thus before leaving to Uminari)

You don't. You're not sure Kanon will even be arranging a proper academic conference so much as something closer to one giant social gathering. Good question, though.
Yep.

Not only that, regular MGs without mana magic are also still contracted:
Since Kyubey has abandoned his Sorceress experiments, only females who naturally have the potential for mana magic and aren't already MGs can become Colored.
Back then, the drugs blurred the memories of the entire day, including before Agneyastra dosed us.

Normally I'd be OK with that as (O)MG usually are children to teenagers and a big gathering may fit them better and be in a better mood about charing magical knowledge.... but that's only if the OMG are children and teenagers. But this may not be case anymore as we now know about the 39 y/o OMG Louise Anholts
@Alivaril, how is the age distribution of OMG?

Now another question. Where should we have it? We can do anywhere on Earth.
