I want to put some of that power into the snare we're going to use on Tiamat's current soul bitch to punch her in the face and take her lunch money.

+2 weapons?
I believe he is trying to make dragon and weapons.
It's not going well.

So long as Lya keeps a close eye on that. I don't mind the help, but I also don't trust them not to pull a fast one and take the power themselves.
Dragonbane isn't a hard enchantment to figure out. If he was making something even stronger then yeah, that's gonna take research.
In any case, he was indeed making those weapons. It was part of the infodump after we captured Varys.
On the bright side, free dragonbane weapons for us when we finally do collect.

...Do you think we'll get a chance to nab him that soon?
...I mean, I was under the impression that we were going to take out Timmie's forces and shank her with the Worm (And Yss, Jazzirian, MK, OGs, hopefully Silver Moon Goddess and Weeping Lady) in 2-3 months :/ ...
Was I wrong? What's our timetable, then?

"Hey brah, we have this here thing we're going to use to stab the Mother of Dragons in the face with. Wanna help?"

Proportional to the offence.
No clear Definition from our side, but I would suspect a fine in most cases, no death unless they used said magic for really stupid things that are also illegal without throwing in magic.

Should be mostly community service (which means working under direct Scholarium supervision) for a while, if the person in question has simply neglected to register.
If you actively tried to hide yourself from the Scholarium, things would get less pleasant. Doubly so if you used magic in questionable activities.

And if you really don't want to be part of the Scholarium, you can leave the realm, you aren't obligated to stick around, and if you aren't in our Empire, then you aren't obligated to follow our laws.

They're more than welcome to leave via the Terminus.
In all seriousness, though, the Scholarum is very reasonable in what it offers and what it demands. Anyone sane is going to see the benefits.

I'm really looking forward to our decision on the Glassmakers (and similar institutions) next month.
I was very much against this law when it was written, but to them I want to apply it.
Edit: Shouldn't you be writing about our prehistoric adventure time with the weird lowlanders?

Come on.
It's not the fucking Warp.
Hm, reminder on this? The Greatest Sin is, what, the Bloodstone Emperor?The empire-building itself?
What would eventually become the Cthullu living there?

I'm guessing the greatest sin was the Bloodstone Emperor rejecting the gods the progress of the souls and basically hijacking the entire thing for himself and his followers, in essence creating the Rakshasas.

Jesus fucking Chirst, Uncle.
And I was just commenting yesterday with my flatmate, after we both marathoned the current season, that "things wouldn't ever be this bad if Bloodraven was still in charge".

Bloodraven: "It's impressive to kill a Divine champion in single combat when you have reality defying mystic powers that nigh on rival the gods."
Viserry: nod nod
Bloodraven: "But a real man does it from 3000 miles away, through seventeen proxies, a handful of Hardy Ravens, and a whisper campaign in the Dreamland's."

Mind you that show-canon Bloodraven has been shown to not be a fraction as competent as our one.
I'm pretty sure our Bloodraven would pop a root at seeing the show version bumbling around, especially with Bran.

Holy shit Blood raven! Damn, surprised The Seven didn't try inserting more juice into the world after Like number 4-7 were killed. Or maybe they did via presurring Lucan to summon more Outsiders? Wonder how limited they are.
Update in beta.

The Terminus will mean that you can still do it reasonably easily, and having to be in the Scholarium will be even less restrictive at that point, as once we have total control of the planet, while we will still be at war, we wont be pressured like we are now, so the wartime draft parts of the Scholarium will be less in effect(not that they are that much in effect now, but once the Empire is stronger, there will be less mandatory contribution to the war effort)

Unfortunately for the Steven, angels can't bypass the rules that bound Outsiders from entering willy-nilly into the Material.

Part MMDCCCIX: The Sevenfold Dream
The Sevenfold Dream
Tenth Day of the Ninth Month 293 AC
"Do they not deserve one who will speak for them and be heard in southern courts? Do they not deserve one to counsel them against senseless bloodshed and revenge?" you ask, feeling at once relieved to hear the question of your alliance with the Old Gods asked in full rather than whispered, and... saddened. It takes you a moment to recognize why. It is one thing to find yourself explaining the realities of this new world to lords and princes, but quite another to have to lay out such simple truths to the very servants of the Seven. How could they have allowed themselves to lapse so? Why? Not a question you will get an answer to from Brother Lucan's lips, alas.
Perhaps one of the other Chosen may shed some light on the matter. For now you must concern yourself with the one before you, to give an accounting of your reasoning. "True, I have spilled much blood at the roots of their Heart Trees, yet it is the blood of Winterborn and monsters, Fiends and those that sold their souls to them. How many have you slain in Lucan's service?"
"None, for I do not serve Brother Lucan. I serve the Father above, and it is in his name that I have ended the lives of those who would prey upon the Faithful, whether they be mortal or of a darker kindred." The angel's voice grows harsher. Perhaps you should not have implied he is sworn, though from where you stand it makes little difference.
"And what of those who merely chose to make use of their powers, harming none, but refusing to give their oaths?" Yrael interjects, unwilling to let the other's words slide by unchecked.
"In time they would have reached too far, greed, ambition, and fear driving them to dark pacts to the ruin of all." The answer is not as steady as those which had come before, like a stone tower build on sandy ground.
"Such certainty..." you shake your head. "Through all the magic I possess I have found no way to know for certain how the heart will be moved for good or evil, certainly not any means that I would trust to hand out sentences of death." Seeing that Roland was about to reply you raise a hand to forestall him a moment more.
"It will not end with them, you must know that. Think of what Brother Lucan would he do if he came to hold sway in the Vale and have the power to act in the North? I have little love for R'hllor the Red, yet I have not closed a single of his temples, instead raising one in the Deep greater then all others for the sake of those who follow him. Neither can I claim much love for the Seven, yet a great sept is being wrought in my name as we speak. Will Lucan do the same? Or will he do as in the old days and make kindling of Weirwood trees and build septs on the bones of those who do not kneel before his gods?"
A shadow passes over the face of the moon, or perhaps only over the face of the angel, the luster of his armor fading, wings furled instinctively close. "It is not for Brother Lucan to rule the Kingdoms of Men, but instead to lead the Hand of the Gods to protect the realms against otherworldly threats," he finally says, far from a direct answer to your question.
For a moment you are silent, walking forward to sit upon one of the larger stones in some faint echo of a throne. "My line have reigned over the Seven Kingdoms for some three-hundred years, and one of their first acts was to abolish the Faith Militant. It was ultimately not because we were strangers to the Seven or of Valyrian blood, but simply because no king can afford in his realm a gathering of so many swords that are not sworn to him that could plunge the realm intp war at any moment. Yet besides what you propose even the Faith Militant of old would seem almost inconsequential, all the mages of the realm to swear to the Seven that they may fight threats which are by your own admission beyond what the lords can face." With a thought you allow the glamour upon your crown to fade. "How then could any lord, any king, say that he is master of his domain and not just a steward for the true power of the Faith?"
"Brother Lucan is faithful to the Father and through him to the Seven Who Are One," the bright spirit replies stiffly. "He would impose no laws and neither would he command the lords in peace or in war."
"And yet the power would still be there. What king would not covet it and seek to rule it or destroy it seeing the peril it holds?" Once you would not have known to make this argument, but over the last year you have learned the lessons of kingship and of power. "Do you imagine Robert Baratheon would be agreeable to such a thing? That Tywin Lannister would meekly allow his mages to abandon him?"
"It is not to such as them that I place my hopes. A new age is upon us that calls for greater and more honorable folk..."
"And where will you find these new lords?" you interject, unpleasantly reminded of Varys' madness, his twisted hopes for Aegon. This is nothing so perverse certainly, but in its essence it can be just as crippling. "You seek to change the guard of a fortress with an enemy at the gates. It is too late for that. I suspect it has been so since the day magic began to seep back into the world."
Though you still cannot see beyond the helm, you can read the unease in Roland's posture, ironically due to having spent so much time in the company of the Furies.
"I must meditate on this and ask for the Crone's wisdom..." Roland finally says, obviously meaning to leave.
