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. :^)

[X] Plan What's in the Book? A Yorri and Karstah Story

Agreed with Dutch, the waystones probably won´t yield that much interesting stuff.
 
[X] Plan To War and Spite, With Waystone Work, Starting Smelters

One Smelter means we can compress its hopeful Combo, then move into making yet better Smelters, and those will scale fast.

Besides. Asking your elder for a clue and then doing nothing with it for... 130 years is kinda rude.

Dutch's Plan. Added the reagent list for the Zharr-a-Drakhazi. Would rather wait on working with the Waystones until we have finished Extrasensory as that's no doubt the path to making them totally safe and will probably make mastering them easier.

Then they're wrong and need to update their definitions. I literally play music for a living, that is not what crescendo means and I've never encountered a SINGLE PERSON, EVER that uses crescendo that way.

Granted English is a language that knifes other languages in dark alleys then rifles through its victims pockets for loanwords it likes. So its understandable that incorrect usage can creep into the regular lexicon.

But as I said, the usage is wrong and I'm not going to allow music illiteracy to occur on my watch.
I'll be honest with you. You kind of can't say the dictionary, in this case multiple dictionaries, are wrong about the definition of a word. You can absolutely complain that people have distorted the meaning of a word beyond what it was meant to be, but dictionaries are rigorously vetted against common parlance, understanding, and usage. By the time a word makes it into, or has its definition updated within, a dictionary the point of no return has occurred.

However, what isn't mentioned in the above posts is that those same dictionaries include the addendum of [Music] and then definitions with the same meaning as the one you are arguing for. Words have meaning in context after all.

Beyond that

So who are we teaching at Khazagar? Any runesmith who rocks up or do they need to complete a challenge?
They aren't all in the same course.
Any Journeyperson who shows up can learn prosphesis runes or the improved Chainmaker stuff.
Repair, Stacking and if there was another ancestor rune that will be taught to anyone who can pass a set of unspecified trials. (Journey person tiered again)
Any Master who shows up can learn the old Chainmaker stuff although there probably aren't that many interested in that course. This is beyond journey people as it involves an MRune.

Waystones are fine but I don't see them going anywhere any time soon. We've already had it proven they are far harder than people were giving them credit for being.

Ironically I suspect waystones would be far, far easier if we were working with elves. Not because they understand them better, but because waystones are way easier to poke correctly with magic. Likely because the non-magical means is actually a backup of a backup of a backup of a backup procedure.

Elves definitely understand them better than us, odds are good they understand them better than Thungi. Elves made the Vortex which is lined with elf-made Waystones

Got a buncha new ideas today

#Rune-Ideas @soulcake

Rune of Mirage
The Rune of Mirage can be placed on a banner to make a small group look much larger or to make a large group look much smaller. Placed on a Talisman it makes the user near invisible only distinguished by the slight distortion in the air. Placed on a weapon the rune make the weapon exceptionally hard to defend against by creating illusionary copies of the attack to disorient the foe. Placed on Armor the rune make the damage foes inflict look much worse to deceive them and make them lower their guard.

Master Rune of Deaths Knell
This rune must be placed on a bell and requires the dawi ringing the bell to be completely deaf or else risk falling victim to the runes effect. Otherwise the rune does not affect allies. This rune enhances, concentrates, and shapes the sound produced by the bell into spears of piercing vibration. These spears specifically target an enemies hearts and brain. Ingredients required include either Dragon ogre brains or Chracian Lion brains.

Master Rune of Redemption
A rune developed from the runes of purification and spite, this rune reaches out to those mutated or corrupted by the warp and allows the target to pit their will against the forces corrupting them and should they not be found wanting they will excise the corruption from mind, body, and soul

Master Rune of the Alpha
Allows the user to control wild animals they encounter. The only limitations are the strength of the user's willpower, with enough force of will even a dragon could be forced to bend the knee although such strength of will belongs to the realm of legends.

Rune of Gentle Breeze
A banner rune that slightly bolsters the speed of allies while slightly reducing the accuracy of foe's projectiles as well as shifting winds to make foes stumble.

Master Rune/Rune Combo- Master Rune of Valaya, Rune of Hearth, and Rune of Healing-> Combo Valayas Embrace: This combo of runes grants Regeneration not just to the user but also their arms and armor, the level of regeneration is unsurpassed within the world acting swiftly enough to regenerate limbs in seconds and whole pieces of armor in mere moments. "With the safety of your children falling on your shoulders you cannot falter! Fight! Fight until the sun rises seven times and sets on a home made safe by your effort!"

Rune of Discernment
This talisman rune flashes when presented with falsehood, the brightness growing based in the level of deception at play. The rune also grow hot when the user is lied to and grows cold when faced with hostility from nearby.

Master Rune of Shifting Mountains
This weapon rune allows one to strike with all the force of shifting tectonic plates, the entire concentrated force of an earthquake that mives mountain and shakes the world focused into a single massive impact that vibrates through any armor or ward.

I was also going to do a Rune of Stilling that makes magic near impossible to use but someone already posted something similar, I'd love some feedback on my ideas! Any of them seem too strong? Anything feel redundant?
