Most people would not know that Johann is the punchmaster though, they would have to know us or him well.
I mean, the circle of people that would both know that we went hunting a red rider, that we brought Johann along on our little hunting trip, and *don't* know that Johann is a shiny golden god of punching feels like a very small group of individuals.
I've been thinking about creating something that can block Divine Sight, with the idea of using it to seal very dangerous items like the Crown of Domination or similar so Chaos cannot find them.
That's a cool idea, but I see some issues. One, we'd need a friendly, cooperative god to help us test it. And while Ranald is friendly, he hasn't seemed, *especially* cooperative with our tentative efforts to poke at the nature of the divine. Sure, the bit with looking at Him was probably to protect us, and truth/faith was our choice, where he probably wouldn't have actively interfered, but he hasn't exactly been spilling secrets. I don't know where we'd even begin trying to get another god to help us test ways to block their perception. Let alone being able to trust them to tell the truth. And then, even if you somehow threaded that needle, Tzeentch quite possibly could just look in the past to find the Crown when it got stuck in your anti-divine vault. Or like, look at a possible future to find the future where he tells his champion where to find it based on the info he got from looking at said future.
 
Among Stirlandian peasants, how well known is it that the Dämmerlichtreiter is a actual person that was at one point under employ by the Hunter count?

The most common version of the tale is that she served the Hunter Count, so that's what most people believe. It's not like this is a legend from a particularly long time ago.

How well known is it that the Dämmerlichtreiter's real actual name is Mathilde?

Among peasants, largely unknown.
 
[X] [RIDER] The Dämmerlichtreiter
[X] [RIDER] Knight
-[X] Conventional Empire (Mathilde's Heraldry)
[X] [RIDER] Spider
 
If Mathilde wanted to pen a autobiography, beyond obviously leaving out all the illegal shit she's done, how vague would she be required to get about how Ulgu and other assorted wizardry actually works?

Would it be permissible for her to explain what a couple of given spells like Burning shadows for instance do, without giving any explanation on how those things are done? (At least in the public redacted version)

Or would she have to be all vague even about that?

I don't think explaining what a spell does is illegal, if only because there are almost certainly a lot of 'so what can you do?' questions aimed at Magisters by employers and prospective employers.
 
Boney once we've figured out this Rider In Red Apparition spell, how difficult would it be to then in the future make a reskinned version when we capture another Rider In Red?


If at all possible, I want at least one Ork riding Slayer to be a part of Mathilde's arsenal

Supreme Magister Ptolos, who was a Grey Wizard, kept a diary, and redacted versions are handed out to apprentices for study. I think an autobiography would be fine, if we ever had a reason to write one.
 
Oh, hunh, came across a side note folks weren't talking about. I suspect it hadn't come up before because the wiki specified "Destructive Spells" but in quest...
the Rider in Red, which preys upon Bright and Battle Magic
I've been looking over the thread, and I don't think I've seen the point raised before but.... If the Red Rider preys on Battle Magic as in the category of spellcraft, not just magic of battlefield destruction, would that place an upper limit on the complexity of any spell used to bind and unleash it?

Presumably it's meant in the sense of destructive magic?

I do not think 'Battle Magic' in the sense you are using is a metaphysical quality. What is generally means is 'humans cannot cast this safely unless they have some kind of gimmick'.
