Wait. What do you mean by that?Fuck no.
Terrestrials are already broken, I'm not going to break them in the other direction too.

You shall all burn beneath my light!!!
Yeah, its from an asshole disease spirit who wanted to increase the size of his portfolio. It died down when someone shanked him with a spirit killer charm; the medical society just takes credit for the awesome kung-fu battle.

Hey! Who's to say that the medical society isn't the one that killed him?

He's making a joke. There was a persistent joke/theory that DB's were really exalted, just jumped up godblooded.

... well, how dangerous does it make it? I mean, if you can use the shadow clone technique in a combination with threshing floor technique.
On that note, why is it called threshing floor?

More attacks using that combo is basically a really powerful Flurry, and that is dangerous to give to DBs since the best Exalt Flurry is 8 attacks with Iron Whirlwind and Invincible Fury of the Dawn. (Which is already Holy shit wtf levels of damage)
A threshing floor is where harvested wheat goes to get the Grains taken off of it. You do this by making a big pile of wheat, grabbing a few friends, and then beating at the wheat with specially made threshing flails.

So basically, someone with essence..... 2/3?
Would be insanely dangerous with it? Especially since dragonblooded come in packs?

I will strangle you with your entrails and offer your broken body as a sacrifice to the Dragons.
Not quite. Remember everyone's favorite "Five Dudes With Sledgehammers Prana"? Threshing Floor Technique basically lets you do "Ten Dudes With Sledgehammers Prana", which is pretty ridiculous itself, but also allowing you to make the dudes with sledgehammers migh be going a bit too far.

On the wyld-shaping technique thing...
Would it be too far to make it so that everyone can use it, but only making ground and demesnes?
And giving Earth aspected dragonblooded boosts or bonuses for it? Like, say, normally it's random, but an earth aspect can decide that the ground is made of pure jade or something.

What is "everyone" supposed to mean in this context.
There is a very good reason that I explicitly didn't allow it to make magical materials.
I guess one could make a theoretical upgrade that allows it to make a little amount of Jade.
Look, if you want to give DBs a way of reclaiming areas of Bordermarch, it's easy:
- Only works on Bordermarch or wyld-tainted bits of Creation; doesn't work on Middlemarch or higher.
- Activated after the DB conquers the waypoint (thus owning it) or kills the current owner of the waypoint. That means they need to go invade the waypoint and take control of it, which might be a non-trivial exercise.
- You flood the waypoint with elemental essence, purging the Wyld with raw elemental force which takes its place.
- Calcifies the waypoint as it currently is, converting wyld themes into an elemental thing equal to the combined elements of the DBs who use this Charm together. Hence, for example, if only a Fire Aspect uses it then it calcifies as a "Fire" landscape - desert, volcanoes, igneous rock, etc, while if only a Wood Aspect uses it you get jungle and forest, but if both use it at the same time you get a "Fire and Wood" landscape - a fire ecology, or a lush growing area on the slope of a volcano.
- The DBs get no control over how the calcification happens - this Charm is fundamentally a way of purging the Wyld from landscapes, not a way of making use of the Wyld. That if you get a bunch of DBs of all Aspects together and use it, you get well-balanced 5-Element land that's nice and harmonious is just a beneficial side effect.

All Dragon-Blooded can already use it?
Like, they just need the prerequisite Charms.

Look, Accelerator, bluntly you shouldn't make these kinds of jokes.
You quite self-evidently haven't read the rules yourself, because you keep on asking questions about things that are explained in the rules. You certainly shouldn't involve yourself in trying to write Charms for a splat when you don't know the mechanics (or the themes). If you did know the mechanics, you'd know that Dragonblooded are not restricted to their own Aspect's Charms. A Water Aspect can learn Fire-Aspected Melee Charms just fine.
And just as with HoratioVonBecker before you, it gets more than a little wearisome to try to engage with someone who hasn't put the effort or the time into learning these things. Repeating tired fandom jokes does not make the process any easier - or more tolerable.

Though I will say that Accelerator is far more pleasant than Horatio ever was. He actually listens and doesn't constantly talk about GLORIOUS TRANSHUMANIST ASCENDANCY.
But yes, you should go read the rules @Accelerator.

What did Horatio do?
I'm not looking for themes. I'm just wanting to throw nails into the setting and see what happens.

I'm not going to look a 1355-pages long thread through to find the Horatio-Vicky conflicts.
Shit it sounds like a fucking war.
Honestly I'd recommend you to read the thread through one day, you'll find some amusing parts and also WALLS OF ARGUMENTS.
See, the thing is that the setting and those themes are heavily interconnected and can't really be separated.
