On Thread Etiquette:

I'm not going to weigh in on the logic of either side's arguments, but I will ask that everyone read over what they write and really consider if the words they used are polite and won't be inflammatory intentionally or not. You cant account for people's tolerances perfectly but at least try to say your piece without saying things that can be easily construed as overly dismissive of the other side of the argument, thank you.

Please endeavour to be cordial. :^)

There is an idea. Make a Gronti that is in fact made of a bunch forged limbs put together. Seems sort of inelegant though.

That makes me wonder if a dwarf could have multiple Forged Limbs if they'd lost several of their own.

Given that an Awakened suit of armour would be made of multiple pieces all moving in concert, it seems possible that an upgraded version of the Rune of Forged Limb might be the Rune of Forged Limbs, which can animate multiple replacement parts with a single rune.

There's a whole load of questions like this that make me think we might want to keep advancing Mind of Things along side Movement of Things, as they may well cross-polinate. Quite possibly even Happening of Things, if Happening is related to the soul.

Soulcake.
Combo, Valaya's Indignance: [Master Rune of Spellspite, Rune of Lightfright, Rune of Lightspite] Spells cast against the user are broken down and the caster is burned and they forget how to cast the spell for a time. The magical energy is stored by the staff, and at the user's command, the energy can be fired back out as bolts of blinding, searing light, or be used to fuel terrible visions that can
instill terror. [LOCKED, MASTER RUNE OF SPELLSPITE UNKNOWN]
This bit under Talismanic Runes has gotten, uh, rearranged. Basically, an Enter key probably got hit accidentally at some point.

Also, spoilers warning people if you're checking the Info threadmark, I guess. To be fair, this was kind of foreshadowed, wasn't it? It sounds like Snorri is going to be doing some head-thumping and congratulating in good measure after all, heh.

Go Snerra!

Nice work on her part and she saved us some actions.
Edit: For those who don't want to search for it the change:
Master Rune of Amplification/Snerra Magnasdottir: Necessary Ingredients: [T3] Pure Gromril: Runesmiths under the effects of this Rune will have improved Rune Casting and dispelling attempts.
Edit2: And I missed some other stuff apparently:
Master Rune of Amplification/Snerra Magnasdottir: Necessary Ingredients: [T3] Pure Gromril: The user's ability to cast Runes and dispel enemy magic is improved.
Combo, Amplifier [Master Rune of Amplification/Snerra Magnasdottir, Rune of Thungni, Rune of Stone] Enemy magic is broken up and used to greatly improve the casting of all Runes around the user's person.
Snerra is pretty amazing.

So, it seems that Snerra may have compressed Glittering Beacon into her Master Rune, understood it to convert it from a Banner into a Talisman rune, and then created a combo to strengthen the effect even further.

I wonder if the only reason she didn't compress the Amplifier combo into another Master Rune is because that compressed rune needs Adamant as an ingredient, and we haven't taught her how to make that yet.

All in all, a pretty amazing series of achievements, that will hopefully lead into further developments in the not too far distant future. I feel that we really want to share our books on the Winds of Magic with her, and to invite her to our Eltharin lessons.

This does throw a wrench in our ideas for what the Master Rune of Thungni would be. More mysteries ahead!
 
That looks like MGlittering Beacon. Good job Snerra.
I'm not sure if that actually is MGlittering Beacon since she used the rune of Thungni in the amplifier combo and it seems kinda odd to repeat the rune in the MR and the combo. If it is though, it shoots down that banner combo for Snorri meant to empower runes with the deep magic since the effect is just casts and not the runes themselves.
 
Interesting that the Amplifier combo uses Thungni rather than Spelleating. I wonder want a compressed Amplifier + Spelleating would do.

Also, I wonder if Snerra made the Ampifier combo on a item she gave as a gift to Snorri.

This all makes me want to understand OUR master rune too, and maybe compress the adamant maker comb and understand that. Becuase I have an inkling we'll need it for Glimril.
 
MPurification + Stone + Thungni?

MPurification + Thungni + Smednir? Since, the MPurification rune heats up objects a lot, kind of like MConduction, maybe Smednir would be appropriate here again.

Could be interesting. We really need to do the Master Rune research of our own Master Rune...

I'd say Compressed Adamant Maker + Smednir + Thungni might well be appropriate, but I'm less sure about Purification plus them for the moment.

I think this research line is probably better to do after we've learned Eltharin and hired an alchemy teacher.
 
I'd rather do the main chain rune metal until we hit a wall that tells us we need to understand MPurification than the other way around unless the goal is to use it for something else like a weapon.
 
Me putting two of my own posts opposite one another, forming an infinite tunnel of reflections: let's research the master rune of purification purification purification purification purification
 
The mystery deepens, and it seems it's a very terrifying rune to put on our banners. Also our beardlings have all grown up

Can we get 15k update for Christmas? We've been good beardlings questers so far :p

I'll try to finish Yorri Omake before Christmas in exchange

I expected no less from Snerra. That Rune just seems great in general.

As for the 15k update, I'll quote soulcake. :p
you magical prophetic bastard, cease your magics this instant! I didn't want or ask for this!
 
Go Snerra!

Snerra is pretty amazing.
Just because she's amazing won't stop her getting a grumbling for being so reckless though.

You can figure this one out.
Heres a hint: Why did you use the Mountain Souled Combo instead of compressing that into an MRune?
 
I think I found our Victory condition

So compress the Amplifier combo to form the Master Rune of Amplifier, then compress the combo of Master Rune of Amplifier + Master Rune of Purification + Rune of Daemon Slaying to form the Master Rune of Anathema, then combine Master Rune of Anathema + Rune of Fire + Rune of Spelleating to form the combo Astronomican. Then build a fancy throne with the Astronomican runes on the vortex to give it a massive power boost.

Erm so compressing two MRunes together isn't possible. Max of one MRune per item.
The one flaw in an otherwise perfect plan
 
[ ] Compress a Combo: [Cost: Variable with a max of 10 actions] Student of the Odd and/or Soul of the Earth may proc. A Master Rune is in essence a series of Runes condensed down into a greater, more powerful, and compact form. Having such an option is particularly valuable to many a Runesmith most obviously because it effectively opens up two new Runes to be used on an item. Master Rune will be for the equipment type of the Combo.

soulcake, For compressing a combo can we compress Master Rune together?

Right this won't work because of the double master runes but... I feel like we should compress compress the amplifier combo down multiple times, build off it to get something even more stupidly powerful, understand Purification to get a normal rune from it add daemon slaying to get Anathema.
