At last!
As it was foretold by the Scrolls!
Finally, a short story is made,
of the mixing of "Ferment"
and "Taste of Fire"!
Long have we known this day would come, and yet long have we awaited its coming still.
And at last, as all knew it must, it happened in the thread it must: in the Dynasty of Dynamic Alcoholism.
Now is the time. Two titans meet - as it was written. Legends collide.
perform
And while Boris was not privy too the spells
to
Most Ostlanders might be willingly to do it since alcohol was involved
willing
So it became that each day that they would be given some work in kitchen storage area to convert kegs of less than decent water and empower the result or natural brews.
Not sure what about this sentence... maybe it should be "and empower the results of natural brews"?
"Hey Boris, you think the other colleges can do this to?" Luthor asked his friend as he focused his magic on a keg of ostka, empowering the drink to even greater levels of alcoholic content and giving it a underlying spicy taste.
"Do what exactly?" Boris asked curiously as he turned a tub's worth of dirty dish water into kvas.
"You know, use magic to turn stuff into alcohol. I mean, if the Jade and Bright Order can do it, although in different ways, I'm sure the others could as well," Luthor explained as he empowered the newly transformed kvas to make it stronger.
"too" "an" ((I think "an" instead of "a" is correct anyway))
And, interesting (if natural) question. Touching more on it below too....
"Heh, maybe the Golds can make boring bases for their alchemy and potion making, and not for drinking," Luthor laughed.
"It could very well be, and mayhaps the Amber Brotherhood can only make drinks similar to naturally fermenting things found in nature that beasts are known to eat. We will never no unless asked, and both are not the most socially inclined."
"know"
So, here's my thought -- maybe it's not
alcohol-making specifically exactly... I don't think this is like Aethyric Armor or Lock or Sound; a cantrip or least magic that anybody can cast. Even priests! Not merely wizards, but priests too.
But. I think there's some possibility to it --
especially after you suggested that interesting idea of Golds making bases for alchemy and potion-making! Because I think
that's the way to go about it!
This isn't a "Can every Wind make alcohol?" angle to approach, but rather a... "If we wanted to make or do something with liquid or drinks, how would each Wind go about it?"
And I got some ideas. For instance -- perhaps Shyish could create a draught that kills pain, or turn things into poisons or painless poisons of some sort? Or create a draught that removes memories; to play on some mythological things like the River Lethe. Though that may be more Ulgu -- Ulgu even has a spell that removes memories to begin with, so.
Gold would have acids and bases. But also perhaps a form of oil -- for polishing or for burning as fuel!
I'm... not sure what other Winds might have. Maybe Light can make or empower coffee? Something that makes you clearheaded. Or perhaps outright
Knurd, if the coffee was strong enough.
Maybe Ghur could have something to do with milk (though that may be Ghyran again) or naturally fermented things. Or maybe it'd have something with venom... eh. Dunno. Nothing really comes to mind. ... Ah, actually, something comes to mind: a spell that clears up and purifies water...
but only in natural watering/drinking holes. As in, the kind that animals use. Not all 'alcohol-or-liquid-related-spells' have to be as "make alcohol!" as possible. Sometimes it could just be something that is related to drinking. Not every Wind could, or should, be able to do this.
I think this is something that should be kept at the level of "Gold Wizards can maybe make or do something to or with acids or bases, for alchemy or potions?" ((It's especially appropriate because Gold Wizards do, indeed, descend from alchemists in part. So hey, that's neat!)) or "Hysh and Light Wizards can brew Coffee that will make you Knurd."
Something that is about the Wind, rather than trying to squeeze alcohol into every Wind's spell list. (Though, admittedly, if it would be appropriate in any quest? It would be in this one: Dynasty of Dynamic Alcoholism, after all. It's sort of... well, I wouldn't say no if it happened due to being appropriate or fitting in with the quest's aesthetics or things, yeah? Like, it almost becomes a manner of thread history and theming and culture, really. It's neat.)
EDIT: This post now has an appropriate prelude added to it. Very crucially important. Also, sadly, copy-pasted URL links no longer adds a green color to it (it's all blue now) so I had to eyeball and manually find an appropriate-ish green color.
Behold. My sig-quote used for justice. ((This is all because I caught sight of my own sig, laughed, and said "Actually hey wait, wouldn't it be funny..." And so it goes.))
