You know, the problem of Evil or the problem of the omnipotence of God have some pretty easy solutions.
Just, you know, convert to something else where this isn't an issue.

> Atheism
But in the case of the Dresden Files, I always assumed that Butches just wanted to avoid the issue for as long as possible. Hence why having Viserys turn up and try to study it is... awkward, from an author's perspective.
Solutions dicier when you've got an up-jumped elemental that probably doesn't have limitations that can observed by anything but another being who can see outside the scope of universal physics or metaphysics.
@Snowfire, before you rate me insightful please be aware that I was editing my post at the same time.
I know it's rude, sorry.
And Crake, I didn't understand your post either.
That's his frenchness. We have been trying to fix that for a while.*removes Insightful rating*

Literally all you did is make more work for me. Why can you be more efficient, like @Azel?

Austerity seems to work fine right now. Give it a bit. Rome didn't civilize the barbarians in a day.Can you work faster? I know it's asking a lot, but after a hundred years of attempts I would think you'd have gotten somewhere by now.

You'll get what you'll get and you'll like it
I...have basically no idea what you're talking about here. I mean, that's not unusual, but I'd actually like some clarity this time![]()

We've decided to take the good parts of the civilization and burn down the rest while working on our own.As I remember it, they never civilised the Germanic tribes at all.
Really makes you think![]()
We made progress with the Manderlys, but actually subverting the Umbers?
@DragonParadox, if we had Velwen actively aiding Lya in studying runecrafting, would the Progress 15 action for studying the Land-Wards in Thennhold be any less? Also, how much can she teach to Lya?

I'm still a bit unfamiliar with the new system, hence my asking DP about it.I'd expect more dice to be thrown at it rather than a reduction in Progress requirement.
Alright, fair enough. @DragonParadox, what level of Runecrafting does Velwen have? Runecrafting I, II, or III?Unfortunately not. That 15 took into account all the knowledge the Thenns have to share.

Runecrafting I actually seems super useful, then, if what she has is enough to maintain Land-Wards and spell wells to never freeze even in the middle of Winter.She has Runecrafting I, most of what she does is by rote and ritual.
Would you mind laying out what Runecrafting I and Runecrafting II are?And another, Lya's Runecrafting
Runecrafting III
An enchanter possessing this feat can shape magic in accordance to the ancient traditions of the First Men, allowing them to use any one of the following abilities.
Legend-wrought: May reduce the cost of any enchantment process (or group of such processes) so long as they align with the zeitgeist associated with the base object (example: a famed explorer's ship taking to the sky, a mighty fortress gaining walls impossible to scale, etc). The reduction in cost depends on the scale of the legend ranging from 10%-50%. This bonus stacks with and is added after any other cost-reducing feats.
Elder Roots: May at the cost of doubling the price of an enchantment or group of enchantments (inducing but not limited to wards, traps, and lineage blessings) make the magic far more resilient, echoing back upon the world from the Dreamlands. This means that any dispel checks made against it are rolled twice, choosing the lowest result. The spell may endure for millennia of waning magic and has a 20% chance to continue to function even in an anti-magic effect. (May be improved with use and study)
First Tongue: Offers a significant boost to researching new magical effects at the cost of longer research times.
And interesting idea. If only you hadn't counted "good food" as part of "the rest".We've decided to take the good parts of the civilization and burn down the rest while working on our own.
I'm not sure why this is quoted but I wanted to make Fungal Purple worms so I'm glad we have Frost Worms.

And Leila too, considering we can probably at least shoot for Runecrafting II for her right off the bat.Which reminds me that we should have Valeria learn Runecrafting from the lore we got.
