No, don't invoke a god where it isn't needed, not while doing dubious magic, and not with the other stuff we've done.

But that's half the fun! We gave up on scientific study of gods, and because of the results we are going to treat them as people, so teasing is appropriate. Imho.

Morr knows our work putting down vampires and the dead and getting the K8P ossuary set up, we're cool. 😎

The Dammerlichtreiter Battle Magic is a fairly minor bit of self-aggrandisement. It relies on the reader knowing all of: the details of a fairly obscure Stirland legend from a decade ago, and that that figure is actually the Spymaster of Stirland and that the Spymaster of Stirland at the time was Mathilde Weber and that they know Grey College Battlemagic.

The overlap of that Euler diagram is less than a dozen people at most, and will get smaller as time goes on and the legend gets ever more obscure.

Yeah. It's something I'm much more comfortable with than putting Mathilde's literal factual features onto the apparition, yet still retains the quintessential spark of Mathilde's usual bullshit that makes it a neat reference.
 
Question, for boney: where exactly are boud apparitions kept when not Giving Someone The Business? What do they do there? Is there any kind of magical/metaphysical/theonarrative resonance between the stories told of a folk hero and the actual factual warp being that bears the heros likeness?

They don't do much.

They're bound to the Wizard's soul and kept dormant. The spell manifests and commands them. So it's sort of a summoning, in that it's transferring it from the Warp to reality, but sort of not, in that what it's summoning is already present.

To be fair, I think the legend is getting more mainstream, not more obscure. Merchandising is a hell of a thing!

That said I have no issue with the dammerlichtrieter as an option, now that it's not explicitly a mathilde doppleganger.
 
I don't care about the apparition spell so I will not be voting for that. As far as Sevirscope goes, I'm pretty sure that Auditory would be better, but this is supposed to be a gift for Kragg who needs the visual for this.

Okay, but regardless of form, we call our final spell this:

Fog Immersed Riders from Essence Bound Apparitions Located Liminally

We just got a lot of work to get to that point, I think.

The other half of it is that I don't think a lot of us are taking it for the "Self-aggrandisement" or pun factor but because we want to see if anything noteworthy will come of wrapping an apparition in a legend.

EDIT: You could say we're quite literally, trying it to find out.

The Dammerlichtreiter option also gives eventual future generations of the grey college their own "mutter something about corvus the crow lord" when asked.

"You want to know how the Twilight Knight spell works? The Twilight Knight spell that was created by the actual historical Dammerlichtreiter? The Dammerlichtreiter that people in stirland still regard as a protective spirit the wreaks vengeance on Sylvania Nastyness? The actual Historical Dammerlichtreiter that even now arguments are happening about whether she's a Saint of Ranald or a Saint of Sigmar*?

How the hell do you think it works, doofus."

*'saint of sigmar' of course not going to be something that would please Mathilde at all but well, from your average stirland peasant's perspective it's likely to line up pretty well.

He doesn't need it per say. He has been studying blind for years now. I am sure that he could use audio in a methodical way.
