"I want a Firecat," you blurt out, then immediately slap both hands over your mouth. Where did that come from?
Rather than being offended by the notion, Kal'enel snorts with obvious amusement.
"You realize Firecats are not pets, yes?" Kal'enel teases. "They are, one and all, older than you. Still, I suppose I can discuss giving Sigurd the... form.
he's actually either a powerful extraplanar or a godling himself, one who's almost immune to fire and feels rather similar to static electricity. He can't bring most of that fizzy-tasting power to bear in his current form
I assume that in the firecat form, Sigurd would be able to express his affinity for Red mana instead of that for White. A different set of restrictions that would allow him to access a different subset of his full power.
Better idea; we just need his wards to not cover an area where they're searching~
he might have allies who'd swear up and down that he'd been framed.
A sudden leak in normally fail-proof suppression wards? That would give him actual 'evidence' for having been framed. From there, it's a small step to get away with blaming the saboteur for the torture as well.
Does she not already have one? I could have sworn that we had at least given her a small one.
The main reason we didn't is that, until recently, we thought that Sidhe's lack of a Linker Core might actually be beneficial at the start of the JS incident: We planned to have her and Hayate stay at our mansion, and since the BoD consumes Linker Cores...
Now that we know that it will archive and learn from any and all magical phenomena, that precaution is less important, but giving her a LC would still risk the BoD getting a power boost from Sidhe's LC right after it activates.
You know i had had thoughs about introducing modified souls into this Planes cycle of reincarnation
Going against one of the agreements between Velgarth's gods is a very bad idea. We'd make enemies of several beings far more powerful than us, and if the reincarnation cycle is part of the divine treaty, we'd even open ourself up to direct retaliation.
That's costly; probably valuable to plop down as a copy Summon onto Planes with problems on them to deal with for as long as a Summon of someone will last though; can you imagine how many Grimm he could go through?
You want to waste 7 mana on a copy that only lasts 24h, then send it against an infinite horde of enemies that just regenerates from any damage you do? That's a horrible misuse of mana. What's more, I doubt Sigurd would be comfortable with the idea of copies of himself with
all his knowledge running around.
Nope. We had a foresight dream about the AI of an Agni flagship and know that Jail has twisted the AI of an Agni cruiser, but Jade hasn't met either of them so far.
our party members can donate mana, too.
At 50% loss for colors other than Red, going by the time Agneyastra had to invest both her White motes to let us absorb one of them. That isn't exactly sustainable.
For Sidhe, Agneyastra, maybe Sigurd, and Nanoha in the future, this means they can optionally offset much of their own cost.
We know from Yuuno that summoning costs can rise if a companion gets a boost to their... power? card value? spiritual weight?
In other words, I wouldn't rely on them being able to significantly contribute to their own summoning cost, since increasing their mana production will also make their summon more expensive.
Not now that it's one of the only things that'll work against the Book Of Darkness is won't be.
First off, why would Jade struggle to learn Stasis when Sidhe is a prodigy with Blue? Second, Stasis is
not a solution for the BoD. It can grant us time in a critical moment, but likely at the cost of being used against us shortly after. And Alivaril himself interjected that "stasis, then summon" is not a valid tactic because we simply can't summon the BoD:
The mechanics of summoning make these versus arguments really silly, guys.
Actually that gives me a thought; is it cheaper if we Walk with Mitra attached to us rather then attached to Nanoha while we Summon her?
Remember how Agneyastra is a special artifact, e.g. that we can't summon a copy of her? Trying to take Mitra with us directly would likely end like any attempt to bring a companion along, i.e. death by Blind eternities.
Grief; there should be a bunch in our Witch Seeds that we could probably Recolor.
As Nixeu pointed out, Grief isn't Black mana, and Black OMGs need to actually learn how to convert it into Black before they can use Grief as a mana source.
