Got an idea: eldritch shields

Basically make the outward facing side of our shields/grief fort painful/disturbing to look at. Think lovecraftian imagery: fractal patterns, impossible geometry, Tzeentchian tapestry.

It'll make our active defenses even more active by making our allies also hard to hit, plus give our enemies a delibitating headache to stop them from concentrating or performing complicated magic.

This may or may not work:
It's pretty cool, since you know what it does, but it probably looks pretty terrifying, from the outside, since you can practically feel the malevolence the ring radiates, and paying too-close attention to the maelstrom of deep purple reveals eye-warping, unsettling fractal patterns that dive deeper and deeper and deeper.

It doesn't seem to have affected Sabrina overly much, so it's likely our opponents can simply ignore it. And in the case that this does work, it can friendly-fire since friends do need to look for each other and I don't think we can make the patterns appear or disappear depending on who's looking at them. That would be fucking cool, though.

Sabrina's repeatedly been shown to have difficulty detecting her own witch effects. If what she does is powerful enough to show up on her senses, it's probably much more powerful to an outside observer.

Is it trouble detecting, or just not noticing/paying attention because effectively everything we do with our power feels Witch-y? We did get overwhelmed the first time we entered a Barrier.

"Rin," you say, voice still pitched barely loud enough to be heard over the pattering of rain off concrete. "I'm not going to lie. Things have gotten pretty serious. You're... at a crossroads, and you may need to make an important choice very soon."

The healer rocks back on her heels, looking like she's just been slapped. A spark of defiance flickers to life, and she glares half heartedly at you. "I know. I know. Y-you... don't have to dress it up in... dramatics, Miss Sabrina."

:rolleyes:

Yeah, that was the reaction I was expecting. We do occasionally treat the people around Sabrina like they're morons. Doesn't help that we have all the subtly of a brick. Or a hammer.

Also, sorry, Rin. It isn't happening. It's practically a requirement that the SV hive mind be as overdramatic as possible.:p

Eh, sugar coating the situation would've been worse. Sometimes blunt honesty is a better way to go.


Still kinda wish we didn't have Sabrina make a promise that means absolutely nothing and did nothing but cast suspicions on us. But well, that's what compromise votes are. You don't always get what you want.
 
Yes bountiful conflict!
with the shards of their Soul Gem's we shall forge Great Rings of Power!

Always enjoy combat in this quest, Sabrina's ability's are so versatile.
 
Now is the perfect time to find out if we can make a barrier! And familiars! and familiars with barriers! *mad scientist cackle*

I dunno about all that, but we should definitely find a combat use for transmutation.

If only to show Sakura how much of a Witch we totally aren't.

Well, given our current circumstances, our first attempt at a barrier* could be a huge, hollow ball of half-molten half-solid rock? We could trap some of our opponents inside with us while leaving the rest outside.

Before we're actually in combat, we might want to spin up some of our grief, as in flywheel energy storage. Changing the way it's moving wouldn't require much effort on our part, and could substantially increase its utility as a weapon.
(Bonus; ominous hummm). :V
