Not really. I'm a little skeptical that Training tools for Hugareida are even viable, and certainly not ones for multiple Hugareida simultaneously...that's significantly better than training a single attribute.

I do wonder if say ... a debt freely offered might be considered a sacrifice. If we could simply ORDER him to understand our explanation

[X] Journal Entry: Norsely Armor? Nordic Armor? Hmm...

Nah, the person doing the learning needs to pay the price. Plus the Enemy cheats on prices involving disclosure.
To be fair, if we're using knights as a basis. It'll be a plain set of armor that would take one the aspects of a person's Frami, Vrithing, and Saemd. So three pieces of linked armor; a helm, a cloak, and mail. Hmm, do we want the body piece to be mail? A gambeson would probably be better to put runes for the purposes. And we're going to figure out how to rune up a cloak given how runes work.

We've been told we can manage to get runes on Mail if it's Realized, and the cloak would just be a part of Realized mail mechanically. That said, we might well be able to make actual plate armor with this journal entry, or otherwise take an entirely different path to getting him really nice armor, so we'll have to see.
Huh, that stoking to heal. Has been around for a while like the first time we've learned about the aspects. Since I think that's what Steinarr did. I'm surprised that Eric doesn't know this stuff too, further cementing Steinarr's teaching status. Does Eric even know about Stoker state?

Eric probably does know about Stoking to heal and Stoker State, though we don't know for sure. It just doesn't necessarily repair, like, broken bones or anything.
I think Steinarr did it the first time against the same injury as we gave Eric. We successfully did a shatter-wrist trick again him and he healed himself by stoking his frami.

When did we break his wrist? Also, the degree of healing may have to do with Aspect size. Steinarr's aspects are conservatively 30 times or more the size Eric's were when we broke his.
oh, sweet, its soul channeling. really nice, that.
Damn....
He was raised to despise the northern raiders, his master and teacher was killed and he himself enslaved by one.... and it turns out said killer is not just not despicaple, but one of the most upright person he has met....
And still, there is all that anger, without a good outlet....
Yeah... i really hope he gets some kind of closure.
honestly, i don't care about the sword one, but these two? All my yes.
The armor is a given, but the antimagic stuff? thats the thing of passive that's just fantastic, with our fire attacks hitting harder than they should against hugreida and a big maybe on rune effects.

During Winter 1/Turn 3 the training section when we first learned about Aspects.

Ah! Right. The size distinction between their respective Aspects is still very real there, but still. Hmmm.
@Imperial Fister some outstanding questions we (or at least I) have:
1. How does Aspect Healing actually work? Like, you Stoke an Aspect and how much do you heal, does it take the whole aspect, what happens?
2. What happens to an attack after it breaks something like Sword Guard? Does it stop, or could it continue on to break other Guard effects or hit the target?
3. If Glima is a Style should it be in the Style section with appropriate notes (particularly regarding its ability to allow multiple dice to be invested in non-Trick grapples)? Does that mean we shouldn't need to invest Orthstirr into it and it provides flat dice per level (presumably less than Stoker State because it's a 'weak' Style, like 1 per level or something)? Does that mean we can get the Grapple skill as well as Glima?

It takes the entire Aspect and heals you to full
Definitely not just a cool idea I had that I wanted to work in, not at all... ha ha... ha...
It continues on to clash with other defenses
I need to move it over and do the corrections. You cannot have Grapple as well as Glima, as Glima would be the only method of grappling that the Norse would have (besides Fang, which is just Glima but more violent). There just wouldn't be any substantial difference.

Cool. That's very rarely worth it in-combat but great outside it then. How does that interact with healing spells...the same as Time Heals All Wounds where it can heal bones wrong if they aren't set and so on?
Can it hit the actual target if it beats them all? I ask because that would make sense either way but so far the examples we've seen it stops without hurting the target after breaking such defenses.
Check. That works.

What kinds of things would the anti magic thing affect? would it only affect seidr and other odr/odr equivalent powered abilities or would it also affect osthirr powered stuff?

Gabriel's fire seemed to be damaging our Sword Guard gradually, so it probably effects anything made purely of Orthstirr, but not to the extent of insta-cancelling it or anything.

Tbf, we did shot down his query about the Saga stuff too, but a reason for a reason why not telling it would have been nice, yeah.
Great. can't wait for the one after we meet him years later!
Hm... so, interesting...
Story making would be one
Eyetalking and how did she do it and the healing is the Seidr lead in, i guess?
There is the "Power Requires Sacriice" stuff for fundamental Norse things.
And the obvious "Who demands and what price?"
Yeah, can't really say anything about prying. We will do that for sure.
Oh, trick ideas, huh? We used.... Aetgir Bodyguard for spectral weapon defense, flashfire cleave, Sword strike and... IAT that were observable, i think?
Yeah, i can buy that one. Especially if its oath bound things.
Echoing this!
And yeah, these as well.
Converting people to another faith is not a Christian privilage, despite what the church want you to believe.
As for Standstill training... i could see either glue or beefed up resistance bands or some other restraining tools.
Would they be perfect? Hell no! could they work? Perhaps.
There was also contested movement, which when paired up Gabriel's stats and stuff make it really good for him to learn it. I guess Flashfire Cleave is really good against knights vs knight combat.
