Enchanting swords was a long-lived hobby of Wizards though, even the Wardens still get some.

Admittedly, making the blade super-cutty from all sides is among the worst enchantments for someone who is not a master of it.
But we can do something nice and add a glow-effect.

They exist, but I don't think they were ever explicitly made accessible via the nevernever. The instances are sandboxed basically, you need to be something like an Angel to cross the borders.

Honestly I'm more interested in the "small scale" stuff.

Full adventures in our hell would take a lot of screen time, but if the first three levels of prayer eating have an advantageous interaction with our hell we could get something a lot less IC and OOC time consuming that still lets us interact with it.

Specifically by advantageous interaction I mean the range limit falling off because the people praying are technically inside Molly's soul, and the weirdness for the visual check with no range that works across dimensions getting a similar flexible interpretation that lets us peak at worshippers in the same circumstance.

Then we could have Molly spend a few hours a week meditating to answer prayers, and background most of them with the exception of little flavor snippets that show snapshots of the life and trials of various people in the FFCF as we help them via fate manipulation.

Yeah bob never said those worlds were in the nevernever and we already know there must be different versions of even the nevernever seeing as a book where harry not the winter knight is gonna come out. They aren't like fake dream worlds or anything these are fully realized worlds in canon.

Edit: Also you know they could just put a stun option on it right fairly sure even star wars lightsabers had settings or something.

I'm surprised he isn't placing more emphasis on it being created by Molly but having a history older than her. Does he not buy the claim, or his he just shelving that until he's not standing in the middle of the place?

Funny how what Molly did parallels the argument of sone fundamentalist christians that God made whe world 6000 years ago but made it to be much older to test the faith of humans

I think you are missing the point- I don't want to give him a lightsaber to use in battle, I want to give him a lightsaber because he is a huge Star Wars fan and he would probably act like Christmas came early and start using random star wars quotes while holding it.
 
One thing that should be kept in mind is that while your realm does have technology that is more advanced than earth, mostly because they cheat like they are Pentex without the insanity, they do not have arbitrarily advanced tech. Molly could get Harry what is basically a plasma sword, but not a 'cut everything sowrd'.

Well yeah, I didn't expect a real lightsaber, but a visually similar beam sword will definitely make him happy even if it isn't as powerful
 
I imagined some kind of energy blade with like stun mode and slice in half mode. But, not like god steel just fairly strong. Not that he'd use it for combat its for fun afterall.
 
I put up a few videos not that long ago showing advances in light saber technology. Basically a hand held blow torch with a long flame. The magic bit that I have doubts is ever going to happen is the parrying lasers as if it were somehow also solid.

I mean we're still talking about our hell though right? Cause real life lightsabers have big ass plugs and aren't lightsabers.

Actually they have gotten it to the point of being a polearm. The movie thing is so impossible that if you could somehow manage it you would have hundreds of better ways to use the technology.
 
What is the full name of W20? I have already tried searching "Rules for fomori on pages 428-439 of W20"
 
The more comprehensive rules for Fomor are in the W20 Book of the Wyrm.

I'm pretty sure Bob explicitly said you'd travel into the depths of the Nevernever to find the world with Spider-Man.

Fairly sure he didn't. Also unless mab is the same in every universe then there are more than one nevernever. Seeing as jims writing an alternate reality book.

From what I recall it was not Bob but Harry mussing about the infinite nature of the nevernever. That said I will not be using quite so expansive a concept. I have a post somewhere in here explaining why I do not like multi-verses, they make consequences go away, but the same is true for finding arbitrary things in the spirit worlds. If I wanted Harry to find Spiderman in there with all the implications that would have I would have made this a Marvel Crossover, I did not so you cannot.

That said and meta-concerns aside 'you can find anything in the Nevernever if you go deep enough' is something many young wizards believe as it is an exaggeration of the very real fact that you can find a lot of weird stuff in there.
 
In regards to almost immediate benefits our allies might have from our kingdom, I think it's not military hardware that's going to be most useful, but police one. Stuff like bodycam implants with high fidelity, and ability to see in infrared, fingerprint scanners, etc. Both to Harry as a detective, and to Murphy as a cop (if we ever give some to her) there's going to be a lot of invaluable stuff.

Bob is the one who said spider man is real he did not say deep in the nevernever as far as I remember. Asides like I've said it should be really obvious there's more than one nevernever since there are multiple versions of nevernever inhabitants in different earths. There's more than one mab in canon, there more than one arctis tor, and this comes with multiple versions of the nevernever. Cause the next book will be a book where dresden didn't choose to go to mab in changes. So I'm fairly sure that means there are multiple realities and multiple earths not every alternate reality is just a deep place in the nevernever.

Well that or a really deep layer of the nevernever links to other reality iterations where time and space mean less. With lighter sides of the nevernever having different iterations.

There doesn't need to be. Faerie is the region of the Nevernever closest to Earth. Each material world connected via the Nevernever could have their own version of Faerie, which is the region of the Nevernever closest to them, with their own equivalents of the Fae.

Yeah thats fair I assumed you disagreed on this basis. Like there are multiple realities that can be exited from the nevernever. Its not our Earth and then just the nevernever in canon. But, a whole bunch of different places outside the nevernever. Many with different iterations of similar beings who've change due to circumstances.

I am not presently using multiple Earths so this point is kind of moot for the purposes of this quest, but using multiple nevernevers is... remarkably opposed to what the concept is meant to be, right down to the name.

Nevernever should, pardon the pun (or not :V ) never be the kind of thing that can legitimately have a numeric designation after it, it is the spirit world, it is the Wood Between Worlds, it is the mythic realm of gods and monsters, it should not come with sections.
