We know Dia is going to have a incident while we are gone . AN has told us this.

In this case, the risk exceeds the reward. If Dia does break down while he's there, then she'll have a court sorcerer. That would be capital B Bad.
He will have nothing else but what we teach him. He will not be a fully trained sorcery.
don't worry, there are tons of helpful tutors hanging out in the warp to assist him.

In order to learn how to create the wards, he would also have to know how to invert them to create twisted monstrosities and daemon weapons.

You can't base a vote decision on "I want to keep Dia alive, so I'll take a 90+% risk of catastrophic failure over letting nature take it's course,"(which AN has said may not even be enough to cause her to break in the first place).
That is the point
Summoning Daemons is like...Sorcery 1. All you need is enough power, and if you don't have the power you can make it up in blood. Or emotion. Or desperation
Actually safe wards is like Sorcery 5. It takes a lot of skill to make a safe, stable ward.
A half trained sorceror is far more dangerous to Dia than the corruption already in her.
This. Yes. Many times this.
Is that in Dark Heresy book? Because it only mentions containing warp energy in the update when it talks about it.
Also these is a suggestion and you guys are acting like we are going to do it .
Yes it is a risk but if we want to treat or prevent corruption in the populace we will most likely have to teach sorcery. Because what else do we have that is available to us ?
Ok has An said this because a lot of people on this thread like me make assumptions. We do not know unless AN says so.
@Academia Nut could we teach someone how to make the tattoos that prevent her from going crazy?
We're just all very, very sure that teaching the untrained psyker to also be an untrained sorcerer is basically the biggest "Kick me" sign that you can paint in Warhammer.
AN explicitly said these are pentagrammic wards we're using to shield corruption, and we know what those are in w40k.
Regardless this isn't the time for this conversation.

Yes but has AN said that a lot of people have said things about Santic sorcery but has AN.
mind edit it is not just for the index
Can you stop it with the repeated multiposting?

Right now it isn't for anything, because the only thing we can use it for is forgetfulness.
If we learn it we can push it.
You realize that you are now suggesting we push a mind-altering power so that we can (reversibly) overwrite the personality of someone we just met, who may have underlying trauma/psychological issues/mutations of some sort, so that we can send him off as an untrained psyker and amateur sorcerer to interact with our already corruption-afflicted mother.
The points of failure are now more than I can count on one hand. And they're all MAJOR vulnerabilities, not even niche cases.
I do not think you are reading what I am writing. We can use mind edit to impart knowledge. Yes it will carry risk, but no one is offering a alternative to helping Dia while we are on the quest.
So we transfer knowledge without high level telepathy to make it secure and risk giving him some of OUR corruption along with it? Not actually better, and still leaves all of the other IMMENSE risks (Which are much bigger than the chance that Dia goes nuclear if left to her own devices).
Yes ! Everything carry risk, everything. We are going to have to train someone and trust someone. If this guy is trustworthy we can train him.
1. Why would we train this guy in sorcery over anyone else? He's already a psyker, that just makes it easier for Daemons to influence him.
2. How would we know if he's trustworthy? Even if we read his mind, people lie to themselves all the time. All we'd get is that he thinks he's trustworthy. We've only just met him, seriously.
Everything carries risk, but this carries risk that is MASSIVELY greater than its reward.
And we need to EVENTUALLY train people to do sorcery. It shouldn't be while we're on the road doing the gravequest, and it certainly shouldn't be someone we've just met and don't know AT ALL yet.
