Warden swords also have some sort of a potent anti-magic effect. IDK, anything goes if you overroll sufficiently, but these effects alone are insufficient.
That is a shame.
TBH I am not super enthused about trying to get literally indestructible universal crafting materials out of one dot of alchemy. And mass production of these materials out of the second dot.
Mirror sword is arguably a clever exploit, but mirror armor and mirror car, palace built out of mirror swords and whatever wild carnival this leads to is kind of waaay too much when +1 soak/+1 damage is a three dot effect otherwise.

Warden Swords have some esoteric abilty to cut through magic, at least defensive shields, possibly other magic too.
As I said, one more alchemical effect, something to cut incorporeal beings and/or magic should go on the pile there. Or we go with enchantment and enchant the sword (interestingly, 2 dot enchantment is explicitly "A more powerful version of a T alisman that could be previously made (adding +2 to an Ability or Attribute or +2 to some task))

Polished metal of any kind, if you can see yourself in the thing with perfect clarity it's a mirror and yes that means you could even build a bunker out of mirrors or something, the most fabulous lair out there

@DragonParadox Say we make an armor out of indestructible material, what would the effect be?
My idea is a indestructible armor that reduces lethal damage to blunt.
The logic is that the armor stops the attack but not the force behind the attack as the person is not indestructible.
Would ghis be possible and if yes how many sux would be required?

It's vulnerable to magic and probably other things.
Think about it, would you want something that shatters into shards the first time it's hit by a magical weapon as armor? Maybe if it's overarmor and even so, you better invent the 'safe glass' version, which would, probably not be invulnerable.

If we make the armor shiny it counts as a mirror as per WOG.

Sure, but what if we want it on say, a kevlar vest? Could we put a really thin layer on top of some non-shiny material?
What about the shape of the mirror? If we make everything out of super shiny chrome can we make mechanisms out of mirrors?
At the upper end, if we could make say mirror-gears we could do some really interesting stuff. Tiny gears which don't wear out allowing for incredibly intricate mechanisms or larger gears which hold under incredible forces for massive mechanical advantage.
Hell with the right set up we could probably make machines that make diamonds using a chamber made of magically tough mirrors. Let us fulfill the lie of Chicago synthetics and automate the moneymaking.
As an aside, if we make a mechanical computer a la the Analytical Engine could we possess it with Hollow Mind Possession? The idea of us making clockwork solders amuses me, even if it wouldn't be practical.

Coating no, it has to be plate of some kind, it does not say 'a mirrored finish', but a mirror.
Ok, so, the fog is great. I'm changing my vote

The mirror is useful, but less useful than painkiller. The fog is s great deployment mechanism. Especially if it can be combined with the glue.
So, glue + mist, and painkiller + healing.

It can, but that entire quote chain was about the specific impact of the last vote on a single minion.
Honestly? Typo. I phone post a lot and my autocorrect isn't always helpful. That was supposed to be "mutate".
Yes, but my point was that she doesn't immediately die if she leaves and that she personally doesn't have a problem with killing someone for this.
We don't want her to, but we can't claim to have her trapped in a do or die bond if she's willing and capable of doing the thing that would get her free.
But all of this is sort of pointless to continue arguing about. We want 4 dots of alchemy anyway, and using it to make the maggots into something more palatable addresses all of the concerns brought up about this, moral and practical, with the single exception of the scaling problem. Even that isn't a huge deal, because we can likely find something to do with distilled emotions or clean base maggot even past that point.
Instead of squeaking by with one vote over each other the next X buy votes and squabbling over the applications we can just proceed with solving the problem.
Indestructible materials are pretty absurd tbh.
Even if that's really shouldn't be a thing from a single dot of mortal sorcery.

Here is the ExWoD doc.
This is the full text of the version of MMP we'd be using:
The closest thing it has is the signature mass transmutation effect, but that's really wasteful as one of our limited Shintai charm enhancements.
Well, the description has "normal force", so anything and everything even a bit magical will probably go it like hot knife through butter.
I plan to buy it at next xp spending. It's only 1 xp, after all.
Not too sure about that. I mean, some magic stuff definitely will, but Harry makes a point about how things called up with magic and then let loose will act according to their natures. You can make magic fire, but most of the time it's easier to make fire with magic and throw it at people.
My bet would be that the common varieties of evocation would also have to meet the force threshold, rather than just bypassing it by virtue of having come from magic.

Different charm. Can't remember the name, but 4 dots in the hell of burrowing maggots.
