"Hello Mrs. Katsuki, Mr. Katsuki. We're here to talk to you about your sons involvement in the suicide of young Midoriya Izuku."

It's GOTTA happen now, right? There's no way that Alec wouldn't tell them WHY he was able to be stuffed in a given receptacle. This one being Izukus mangled remains.

Which again, All Might SAW with his own eyes...
He should probably clone a mangled body and drop it off infront of Katsuki to drive the point home.
 
Huh, is it early enough in the timeline to prevent Toga from having her psychotic break? The girl was emotionally abused in ways that perhaps surpass what happened to Izuku.
 
The boy in question? Nedzu noted that his eyes were perhaps a bit too sharp for a young child. He looked between his mother and All Might before silently nodding and following along after her. All Might took up the rear, one guilty glance over his shoulder to the rat told Nedzu that the man was getting himself ready to do something extraordinarily difficult.
Not surprising, Eri's quirk doesn't seem to rewind a person's mind. Midoriya wasn't constantly forgetting things when Eri was rewinding him to allow him to us All for One at 100%, and Mirio didn't forget anything when Eri rewinded his quirk back into existence.
 
It's a diamond worth ~1,000gp, and a vessel worth 2,000. Even if the haste enchantments added on top to make it work in a reasonable time just cost magic and with the assumption that a roughly modern society can make large quality containers for considerably less then 2,000gp equivalent...that diamond is still a whole lot. I'm sure more could have been looted from the Yakuza or other groups, but Alec was clearly speed-running for only what he needed, and dropped all his other plans once he actually rescued Eri. And TBF, pretty much all of his actual needs and most of his wants are covered by magic and a bit of harmless squatting to fix his private demiplane wherever.

if the spell was based on actual cost what would that look like?

a vessel woth 10s of thousands
 
Uh so Alec decided to stick around and I guess making the clone was really expensive?
At Alex's level of magic he can basically turn time spent into wealth directly.
The wish version he is using came from Pathfinder, which as a principle took any spells that had XP values spells may have had, and converted them into GP value instead (either X ounces of gold coins, or so much diamond/gemstones) [mentioned earlier in the story: the joke about it all coming down to crystals for power(up) sources]

Even with that limitation intact, Alex could take whatever literal waste is lying around, and rearrange the carbon inside it into a crystalline lattice (aka a diamond) and then use that to cast wish to create up to the equivalent of 10,000 GP of any/all material goods he wants. (This is the minimum, using the most restrictive interpretation of wish with only what is specifically allowed.)

Alex also has the ability to overlevel his spell, breaking the normal limits. Something said in a pervious MHA snipped make me think he no longer needs diamonds as a material component anymore; that he can just spend his MP on a magical effect, including creation of material goods.

So the time spent isn't his personal time anymore, but the time it takes him to regenerate the MP.

@Mister Ficser If he is going to be offering boons to Izuku/Eri, he should consider Wish granted Inherent attributes.
The normal limit is +5 per attribute, but if he has Wish Lv. 200, that is probably at least doubled. On a scale where 10 is fit average, and 18 is normal human maximum. Spending 10 wishes each on 6-7 attributes (D&D doesn't include a LUK stat, but the Gamer system does) would make average to Captain America levels in body and mind. And cannot get dispelled away like a Locked spell can.

...this is also something he should consider doing for himself and Jinx/Kary in the main timeline. This is because his version of the System's missing Gamers Body means many of his Gamer given stats don't do anything. But the Inherent Bonus Attributes are something from a methodology that never possessed Gamers Body to begin with, And could be used by wizards to increase the attributes of nonmagical folks, and have it "just work"

So inherent bonus attributes, should fully interface with his base body/mind properly.
 
Eri needs tons of therapy and a way to control her Quirk but most important she needs protection from abuse.

That's why I guess he stayed, to get Eri protection and an education. He can offer her the first himself but not the second. Yes he could teach her magic but not give her the education she can get from schooling and a degree.
 
IIRC he used wish to cast clone, so material costs would be irrelevant?
I thought wish also had mat cost? Or maybe I was thinking of greater restoration. Either way it could still make sense then if you go with the idea that Alec basically spent the whole last week 'finding' the funds for his Clone vessel and searching for the 8 Precepts. He might know lots of things about various villains and their resources, but actually knowing where those locations are is another matter, as is accessing funds. There's no system to drop loot, common villains are likely pretty poor (except for drugs that Alec isn't going to turn around and sell), and wealthy Villains are smart and likely have all their stuff in banks and accounts even if Alec could find them. Since he has no material costs for himself with magic to take care of everything, getting funds probably stopped being a priority as soon as he had his jar.

if the spell was based on actual cost what would that look like?

This is hard to say. Keeping in mind how Faerun is medieval-ish, a person sized jar that is hermetically sealed and filled with some very specific chemical compounds and/or has enchantments to protect it's contents? That gets very expensive quickly for understandable reasons. In a modern or post modern world though, producing large containers with perfect seals, while not exactly trivial, is no where near special. Aside from that there is a vast supply of chemically pure elements that can be aquired cheaply from the right sources, and any sort of magic required besides the Clone spell itself is well within the capabilities of an experienced artificer like Alchemist. It's just all understandably cheaper.
 
hmmm, wonder if alec can create a ring of draining to drain eri's stockpile quirk and combine it with some kind of quick growing flower to divert the energy into it for a infinitely growing and shrinking flower to keep eri from using her quirk?

Without the System, he only has the magic he already knows. And as bullshit as Wish is, it is from D&D so it can't like drain Quirks because nothing like it exists there. The closest thing would be Dragon... marks.

So... can our VOID DRAGON give Izuku a Dragonmark?

A Wish isn't limited to spells that already exist.
It's not "published spells 8th level or lower," it's anything theoretically possible with an 8th level or lower spell. Including spells that don't exist, but have effect the DM would consider acceptable as a Xth level spell.
 
Since quirks are biological, Alchemist can A.) give Eri a new body without her original quirk, B.) change her appearance so nobody ever comes after her again, and C.) give both her and Izuku new quirks if he so desires. Polymorph Any Objecting them into having new quirks is totally something he could do. He could also do so to others with quirks they don't want, or quirks that alter their bodies in ways they don't like.

Also, Alchemist could teach those two (and Nezu) magic, as well. Because all three would love to have secret powers that can't be taken away via anti-quirk measures (and Eri in particular needs that, so she can protect herself, if only via the Cure and Message spells, since Teleport is definitely not something she'd be interested in, given the problems it has at partial mastery). And Izuku? He'd go spare at the thought that he learned his quirk through his own mind. Screw Bakugo and everything he's ever thought. Izuku doesn't need a stupid quirk when he has magic.

And Nezu would be even more dangerous than he already is, I'm sure. That world needs more Nezu.

Personally, I always wanted to see Nedzu deal with Moon Rat Refugees, a DnD monster that is a normal rat that becomes intelligent during the full moon

honestly think that one of the few questions that would really be important to ask him is his thought on the movie the secret of Nhim
 
I rather suspect that talking to Nedzu about The Secret of NIMH would be about like talking to an actual Nazi POW camp survivor about Hogan's Heroes. In other words, don't.

You're good. I'm perfectly fine with having an actual mistake pointed out to me.

On the one hand, the spell having an Experience Cost would make it a bit harder to replicate for casters that aren't Alchemist. He's got items that literally grant Experience on use.

On the other hand, that kind of exclusivity is... Actually kind of annoying. The spell being difficult, sure. It demanding expensive reagents, fine. Other incredible wizards not being able to cast it because they don't have an arbitrary resource pool... Doesn't fit with how things have been shown so far.

I'll switch it over to Pathfinder and remove the notation on the experience cost.

-Miserly Master: You might have a natural gift for magic but you're also a natural skin-flint. The more familiar you are with a spell, the less you're willing to pay for it. Material requirements for spells are reduced by 0.5%x(Spell Level). Costs cannot be reduced below 0 GP.

This has been brought up immediately after the last actual chapter was posted, but to clarify, here are the salient points. One was a quick debate over which version of the spell to use. The other is a perk that I suppose wasn't focused on but was mentioned a few chapters back.

Alec isn't the first dragon to pick up such mastery over the Wish spell, either. Though, the other ones are rather Cosmic in scope.

And, to link to the spell in question- Wish
 
You seem to have a bad habit of using, well not rhetorical questions but whatever this is for characters who aren't Alchemist, and it kind of reads as out of character and immersion breaking.
Instead? She woke up in the bed, in a tangle of blankets and sheets.

For one truly miserable night? All Might thought it might have actually been a fair trade!

The boy in question? Nedzu noted that his eyes were perhaps a bit too sharp for a young child.
 
Hm, yes, in most cases those should be simply comma or semicolon delineated clauses, occasinally needing a little more revision to properly fit in. I keep noticing them, but not being irritated enough in the moment to remember by the time I get to the end of the post. In general, I would reccomend avoiding that structure unless it's supposed to be a quirk of a specific character's dialogue, and entirely in nominally neutral narration.
