The bias here is that he knows magic is real in the setting already.
Oops, I definitely did.
You aren't supposed to take it as undeniable fact in such that if things are observed that go against commonly acknowledged Laws that people should just conclude it's magic.
Other explanations included the War in Heaven, Xeelee,The simulation hypothesis or other phenomena that are not magic. The Masquerade does not have to fall in the sense that humanity has found reality. It can fall in the sense that the illusion of the ordinary world will fall apart and it will start from there.
There are two things here:
Exactly this. Obviously this event doesn't translate into people immediately concluding that fae and angels are real. But it's not something I can see being brushed off. It's too big of an event that cannot be explained by the current understanding of the universe humanity has. Not convincingly at least, i think. If anyone ever tries to point a moment Sixth Age began, that would probably be it.
Oh boy. I think we might have worried some people.
Didn't Molly's exaltation steal control of Arctis Tor for an instant that was three days long? I have a feeling that if she'd exalted in the material world it would have left some alarming signs.
Did we get any essence back for getting LoV to take FSB? Technically he can't disobey us without losing it, which makes this the recruitment of a dark spirit.
*Eye roll* That isn't what I meant. Conclude magic is real then rather than it being something that can theoretically be explained with a greater understanding of science since that needed to be clarified I guess.
It does still work though.
Nah. Not if nothing else like this happens.
Just going to point out, since the "essence gained" isn't stated anywhere, it probably does just look like Molly got two essence from nowhere to most readers who are keeping track of the number since we rarely ever get it from recruitment.
Putting it like that brings the image of having the cyber devils maintain a website with Molly's patch notes for reality. "FCF expansion now live and retroactively was always part of the game. South America shares a land border with (a) Hell. Blampire hostility tweaked".
Tangential to the current situation, but funnily enough DF magic explicitly does change rules over time. I don't think Butcher intentionally linked that to how magic doesn't precisely care about the conservation of energy, so it's entertaining that he actually set both of those changes up by coincidence.
What I'm interested in here is what the orbital weather, spy, and space observation satellites saw. That will make a huge difference in how people react.
I don't think everything should be on the table for some entities, just enough not to freak out.
That was definitely supposed to be growling.
Need an "is" in between here.
Became.
"Until the last" what? Breath?
And, question mark.
Openly.
Need a space after the quotation mark before you.
Need a period on "Ms".
Can't tell if this is an error or not.
Question mark.
I've noticed that it seems to want to autocorrect to "Lucio" though her name is Luccio.
Quite a day?
Question mark.
Extra word.
It's a name of course but I've never seen it spelled with one c.
That autocorrupt no doubt.
Looks like this was meant to be a period instead of a comma or sacrifice needs to be lowercase.
Also maybe a comma after "Carpenter"?
Missing a period.
For the best?
An "a" between here would sound less awkward though I don't think this is incorrect technically.
Heated.
Winter Court needs to be warned to avoid a plausible scenario where a newly exalted abyssal goes after them with spirit killing charms and costs Creation a valuable mantle. Remember, the condition for becoming an abyssal is being excellent enough to warrant a solar exaltation, being supernaturally aware, and being in the process of dying. Naturally, the last two things can be combined into one - ie dying from supernatural causes. What are the likely causes of supernatural death?
Yeah, that's a fun thought.Putting it like that brings the image of having the cyber devils maintain a website with Molly's patch notes for reality. "FCF expansion now live and retroactively was always part of the game. South America shares a land border with (a) Hell. Blampire hostility tweaked".
The site with the fewest posts and highest number of continuous watchers on the internet.
When you hijack an airplane it keeps flying, it just doesn't go where it was supposed to. The limit track was twisted against its purpose to cause the exalted harm. It's close enough for people who aren't splitting hairs.
I don't understand the point you're trying to make here. My argument on this area was that they had power and were trying to act. They were making plans and successfully executing them. You're moving the goalposts.
So you're suggesting that the guys who successfully plotted the murder of the age of legends think the Abyssals unmodified can and would kill reality for them? Or perhaps that the Neverborn wouldn't try the same trick for a third time even though it's worked amazingly well if they didn't think the current revision was good enough?
You can't say that it doesn't have that thing still, or that it couldn't just make another. They were the ones who got the lore for it from the Yozi per your own cite. They taught the deathlords and not the other way around.
The Neverborn did this on purpose. The death lords were their control mechanism because they didn't want to let that power go free.
As happened in Nightbane, probably my favorite TTRPG setting, when the entire planet was temporarily engulfed in darkness during Dark Day, the event which heralded the Nightlords replacing much of Human government with doppelgangers and monsteous shapeshifters, the darkness was never adequately explained.
In the FAQ he covers this as a broad category of either dead or so changes they aren't truly the same beings anymore.
ExWoD page 442.
Just going to note here, that we don't actually know that. We never bothered to check.
The whole document is based on stuff like that. It's basically a thick layer of don't worry about it used to separate the plot of one age from the next.
