-[X] Trade the Familiar ritual to test the waters in exchange for help with Livestone.

@Goldfish, that isn't a vital ritual of great importance, so it should be fine.

What would you like in exchange, at least in general?

@DragonParadox as far as necro/geo mancy do they have any long form earth based divinations?

Like stone tell but for hundreds or thousands of years ago?

Or hell even regular geological knowledge.

Ancient Valryia has a lot of history that needs untombing.

Can living metal be hardened?

Equivalent ritual magic would be nice, but anything that lessens the progress required from our research would be amazing.

They do have superior stone tell, but it involves either talking to rather anti-social earth elementals or complex and delicate arcane machinery.

Yes it can, everything can be hardened.

zxzx24 · Jun 28, 2019

@DragonParadox nevermind. There is no maximum backdate for stone tell.

Do they ave spells for the following.
-Get more mortal friendly information out of stones (visual illusions of their past surroundings would be ideal)
-A wide range ritual to determine the location and "age" of stone. (When it last underwent catastrophic change)

Both of these should save us a lot of time putting together how ancient Valryians did things and finding in tact ruins.

We've hired water elementals, why not earth?

I am actually super excited for the possibilities here.

Both in a geological perspective and perhaps in using an earth elemental divination array for prospecting.

Obdurium
This incredibly rare and hard metal represents the pinnacle of nonmagical metal. Treat weapons and armor crafted from obdurium as adamantine, except for hardness (30), hit points (60 per inch of thickness, or twice as many hit points as a typical item), and price (twice the listed price for adamantine).
HP: 60 per inch of thickness; Break DC: 48 + 4 per inch of thickness.

Yes, but it requiters animating the stone, if you want to to that in Valyria you need to push back the general corruption from the stone you are interviewing
Yes, though again it's a device not a ritual

So...
Are there any ritual applications any of ya guys can think of, that would help our citizens en-large, or would enforce Legions further?

Was thinking of hardened living metal armor. Should help with repeated/prolonged battles and/or expeditions.

Eh, I was but jokingly-ish mentioning something that would be hilariously tough if Hardened via someone with our maximal CL (was that 23 or 24)?
Either way, something with Hardness of 41-42 is stupidly difficult to break.

Like, seriously.

Here's the RAs I think their Empire may have something useful to help with.

Whatever the Shaitan version of this is. Always good to be safe against undermining, and attacks from below.

Edit:
Also an earth elemental version of the water elemental powered detector globe.

You also have to work it. Living metal parts may be encouraged to fuse (making welding unnecessary).

Heh, still remember we wanted to see if we could make a Cerulean Sign Living Spell. Cant tell why we didnt think about Demon Dirge or Devil Blight instead.

Absylon Quilby · Jun 28, 2019

Is there anything wrong with the idea of beginning a long crossbreeding/eugenics program for our Weirwoods? Imagine, bone-white trees that grow metals, are immune to fire, regenerate at an astounding rate, and are virtually impervious to unauthorized harvesting....My inner Exalt is telling me that if we have trees that grow metal, we need to make them grow BETTER METAL. And if we're already doing unholy science on Weirwoods, why not combine the two?

Helping with the livestone is a good fit for the familiar ritual. It would allow you guys to grow more of it without the risk of being eaten.
The spell would need a more substantive offering
The living spells are too esoteric to handle as a joint research for now

@Duesal, I request this being the trade then.
It's been there on RAs for far too long, imo.

Even though I don't even remember why it's been put there to begin with...

Well at it's base it is cheap living stone for places where mining is difficult, like most of Sothoryos.

Sure, Livestone is as good as anything.
