Yup. That's one of the reasons it has taken so long. I'm actually surprised a plan without Gambler on it is in the lead.

Iirc its a multi stage project for the first time.
First is capture,
Then is finding a good way to bind it.
Then the actual binding.
If we roll amazingly we might combine a few steps but maybe not. So currently we are only capturing the thing, and we are good at combat and such and have Johann with us whos teacher is Gehenna.
It's not like we are going to reveal it next turn, we are only starting the process.

Differences between apparations and deamons are well documented by the collages. Has to be considering what some collages had been getting up to with apparations untill now. So we are in the clear both legally and magically. It is only somebody who is ignorant of the reserch that exist would confuse apparations with deamons.
Really I think of it like cattle rustling from the enemy country. Demons are enemy solders but apparations are just animals and just because they live in the enemy territory doesn't mean they won't be useful to us once we get them.

Saying something is 'a worse consequence' than a miscast is a little tricky given how variable they are. Even the largest miscast can be harmless, or even situationally beneficial. However even the smallest can with sufficiently bad luck drag the caster out of reality to meet the chaos gods in person. Or open a portal bisecting their body that will spawn demons. Or just atomise everything within a large area.
Having an angry apparition attacking you is dangerous. But it is at least a known and predictable danger.
You have the text of the non ostland one in your vote, despite using the ostland title?
We can also choose to just... Not publish our results. At least until a more acceptable time. Maybe after we've spent more time with Niedzwenka so we can pretend she "inspired" us.
After all, from a certain point of view, apparition binding isn't that different from spirit wrangling.

I mean, they use those on Magisters with bound apparitions...I highly doubt Gehenna just gets a free pass on being daemon checked, for example, so I doubt it causes issues.
Does a significant number of the Gold, Amber and Jade Colleges fail daemon checking with the common Light magic spell?
I mean, how often does your typical Gold, Amber or Jade magister let a Light mage cast spells on them?

Yeah, I don't really want to do apparition binding this turn: it'll be a multi-action chain to actually get any results from it, with length varying based on how well we roll, and I don't really want to start another project at the moment.
To clarify, is the Egrimm Windfall action in the plan the one where we try to get it into Egrimm's head that he shouldn't worry about him taking the credit?

I highly doubt the Grey Order are the only Order with a daemon checker like Algard uses. The Greys probably use theirs more often, but it's too useful for every Order not to have one (well, the Light Order doesn't need one, I suppose).

I mean, it's possible that Dark Hounds aren't enough like daemons to get kicked out, but that Red Riders are? There might be a spectrum of "demon-enough-like to be affected" vs "not enough like a daemon to be affected", we don't know. Though I guess it might be in our Extensive and Esoteric books about Apparitions; Boney, if you see this, is there anything in our rare books about Apparitions to tell us about the interaction with Light magic that affects demons, especially the Apparitions traditionally associated with members of the Four?
Yeah. We write the paper with him and hopefully let him know that it would have been 100% fine for him to write the paper himself, and that we were purposely holding off on doing that so as to not snipe the credit. CF and a bonding experience, everyone wins.
Anyway, it's been about thirteen hours since the vote opened. Here's the tally, cleaned up a little to combine duplicate votes:
Big gulf between Red Riders and non, big gulf between L&M Windfall and the double Branarhune plan and its Ostland variant, then the rest.
I think it's just us finally sitting down and writing it together with him since we're tired of waiting for him to do it alone. If I remember right, Boney made a comment along the lines of, Egrimm wouldn't really trust his boss coming down and going, 'No, really, you do it and take the credit' after his time with Alric.
In the two hundred year history of the Colleges often enough. It's not like they would wave off a result of 'possession' as a fluke
Yeah, you're probably right in quest, but in canon... *looks pointedly at Egrimm being covered in chaos tattoos as a light wizard*
