On Thread Etiquette:
I'm not going to weigh in on the logic of either side's arguments, but I will ask that everyone read over what they write and really consider if the words they used are polite and won't be inflammatory intentionally or not. You cant account for people's tolerances perfectly but at least try to say your piece without saying things that can be easily construed as overly dismissive of the other side of the argument, thank you.

Please endeavour to be cordial. :^)

Feels the most fitting for where we've started and what we crafted for in the start. It was for children

Perhaps Prismatic Blood would never have worked for some of those Runes, regardless of potency. Power alone was not enough to decide the entire problem, you thought, maybe there was another factor at play.

"Essence," you whisper in shock.

Could the blood be like your theorized Runesmith Essence? That Prismatic blood was actually the distilled form of some fundamental magical quality that was shared across all dragons? If that was the case…

…if that was the case you theoretically had proof about what specific part of the reagent a very small subset of Runes needed to function.

You may have a way to prove that certain Runes that needed Dragon parts for its main reagents actually required something inherent to a Dragon or if it was something else separately or in conjunction with that energy.

BY THUNGNI'S HAMMER YOU MAY HAVE A WAY TO EMPIRICALLY TEST WHAT EXACTLY SORT OF ENERGY OR SUBSTANCE A RUNE NEEDED IN ITS FORGING.

You needed to calm down, you needed to test this.

VINDICATION OF THE SNORRI THEORY OF RUNE ESSENCE!

[X] Blood

But really! With how much metaphoric weight Dawi put on their beards and plaits- that would likely work just as well, if not better…

[X] Blood

It fits with all the theories and the odd dragon blood the purification ended up with.

Also it's very metaphysical, blood is the essence of life and the hashut traitors were using the captured rune smiths as reagents for their spells, so we know they contain more magical power than the normal dwarf.

I'd like to say that it being a facsimile dragon, perhaps it could've breathed fire into the forge itself. That being said, I'll still vote for blood because even then, the dragon was notably arrogant and if we don't convince it then we should've tried something else.

Remind me what runeflame is again?

Runeflame is feeding the fire with Deep Magic, using Zharrgal's fire and a dose of the Ashstorm (a fragment of the Primordial Fire, if you remember the scenes from their forging) from the armor and cloak as the medium.

I would have just said Deep Magic in the first place, but QM ordered us to make it a 1-word write-in so I had to find a workaround.

As far as I can tell these test reveal more about us than the creator, with Adamant being there certainly narrows it down for me.
(X) Blood. Feels to violent to me, yes it is the essence of what runecraft is, magic flowing through us as seams through stone. Yet we've seen what happens when it was pushed too far, we were damaged, likened to a volcano. Thungi wouldn't expect his heirs to mimic the gori or Fimir, tainting what should be noble with that. Of course what is more powerful than a willing sacrifice?

(X) an Item, too common and easy in my mind. Even a masterpiece or legendary item would go against the spirit of this act. This is an act of creation, not destruction.

(X) Will.
This one has my vote. It is what makes a runesmith, what separates them from mages. We are not bound to the whims of the winds, or the dangers of it. We enforce our will onto these flighty things and create something lasting, no quick effect, no spell but a rune that can last as long as there is magical power in it. Thungi carved the glittering realm from the aethyr (pet theory) He brought magic to his people, showed the wonders that could be crafted with it. No base magic like the gori or deamons. But also a force for good for the dawi people. How do they do this?
WILL. Power unending brought into the exacting circumstances and shaped by our will into this. Thungi and his descendants are craftsmen, artists of the highest caliber and will is our paintbrush. An act of creation is what is needed.

You need to use brackets [] for your votes to be counted, not parenthesis.
 
[X] Runeflame

I think this is the easiest to go "oh, well, try again" if it doesn't work, and has good reasoning behind it. Blood would be my second pick.
