The best targets for this are really 'minor' talents. They can be just as strong in their areas of influence, suffering in breadth of application more than anything else.
So, I'm trying to translate this from metaphor to mechanics. If I understand correctly it goes like this:
If you combined these things it would work.
I don't think the bit with the leylines was about angels so much as our spirit designing.
I'm not convinced we lack equivalents in terms of produced work. Crafting is one of those places where more natural power doesn't mean as much. Time and cleverness can get a lot of work done; modern technology is similar in that regard - a group of engineers working together couldn't produce a tenth of the power through muscle that they can by building a nuclear reactor instead. If anything I'd expect the greater time and industrialization to make collective products that are frighteningly advanced from every perspective.
In general any knowledge exchange we do with the White Council is going to be biased in our favor because them learning from us means wizards going to our hell and learning in our universities well anything that we learn from them our people can crowd source, develop on further and add to our curriculum.
Wait, is Molly creating a Shendao cultivator out of a Fallen Angel Shadow? Talk about overachieving.
Hopefully we never have to explain it to anyone we like, because I'm pretty sure getting that idea laid out cold will cause people to clench so hard they sprain things. Like the world's most screwed up power word or something.
Oh my god, I can just imagine her with some bullshit long title like "Supreme Heavenly Fallen Angel Great Pardon Dragon Ancestor" or some just idiotic (but funny) shit like that.
We're designing her prosthetic, I see no reason we can't make the brand names of every individual component silly for our own entertainment. Other than ethics I suppose, but I'm pretty sure there isn't a professional body monitoring this stuff.
Molly - It's Mollytech. That means it is powered entirely by green energy.
If I meant Solar power I would have said Solar power. This is more refined than that.
I don't think 'refined' is the word to use for that Infernal Contraption.
Wizards punch high in their area but are terrible outside of it. If your a wizard that does fighting your great at it, if your not even trash vampires can gank you. We have a much higher baseline average then the wizards could ever hope to achieve. Generally the WC have 1-3 people that are really good at something at most. We have a dozen people that surpass all the other members.
Molly - It is a more elegant weapon, from a more civilized era.I don't think 'refined' is the word to use for that Infernal Contraption.
This part is actually pretty clear:
Molly says that Lash doesn't have access to ley lines, and Molly can't give her one. Lash responds that such access is something absolutely required by her nature as a Fallen / Fallen derivative.
A Wizard who specializes in combat can still scry, do minor mental spells, make some enchantments and alchemy, a good bit of illusions and some more stuff besides the fireballs and lightning.
Fair. I read that as a general lament that the fallen are broken and can't smoothly integrate with anything natural, but that is a bit of a stretch.
I read it as Fallen only having to tap into this (although, if Universe is actually White God's Kingdom similar to how Molly's Courts are hers, and we are in a Xianxia story, angels being tapped into leylines makes tons of sense), but apparently I was misreading this:
So, just to clarify, does this mean that Fallen cannot access leylines? This would be a very important piece of information.
The Fallen: *Conduct elaborate rituals and farm cultists for dregs of power*
