Even the Bright College has some spells not directly related to those things. One of their spells makes stuff spicier, turns water into alcohol, or makes alcohol stronger. There are also a few spells for inspiring Anger or Passion in other people. One spell can even make someone desire to enact vengeance on another. I can think of a few scenarios in which Bright magic didn't work out as intended.
If I did that with my dad, he would find it pretty strange too
It's a reference to a meme that I think started out as a vine, so if it turns awkward you can always show him the video and make it more awkward as he doesn't laugh at it. Dads are great.If I did that with my dad, he would find it pretty strange too
Technically speaking, we only know for sure that she's worshipped by the Ostland and Nordland Hedgewise, there's a suspicion in the thread that the matriarchal mystery cult of the Ostermark Hedgewise also worships her.
Just tried this with my father. The results? "Pretty weird. I don't understand it." However, when pressed he admitted it was not particularly weird for my standards, but that it was weird "by horror movie standards".If I did that with my dad, he would find it pretty strange too
Ah, so the same basic principle as xianxia medicine. I can absolutely imagine the Grandmaster of Demonic Dick Punching just chugging a vial of pure mercury to cultivate his [Liquid Movement Art] or whatever.
My vote would be to send a flask of the same brand of dwarven whisky we used in it. Seems appropriate.
Wasn't that something she already dealt with, not something she was going to deal with?
Probably stewardship and diplomacy? That's probably what her Oma focused on teaching her, at least. Maybe some learning as well. She never struck me as super sneaky or pious yet—although that might change while she's in the College and isn't saying much besides—and martial will probably be limited at least a bit with her being both young and a Shallyan of some degree. Mathy will probably be better at covering her bases than strengthening her focus though we'll almost certainly be able to do both.
If we want to be a terrible hypocrite, of course.
(Like all good parental/authority figures, right?)
Maybe checking to see if the Duckling Club is still running in our absence? If it is, is Panoramia heading it by virtue of having been around the longest?
No, she's running it by virtue of intimidation factor.
I think Max signed up for the expedition before she did
Max came with us to Web-Mat, didn't he?
But he, Johann, and Mathilde have all left for Laurelorn.
I'm against this. We sent that Lord Magister a firkin of ale because he did us a favour in both improving our spell for wider use, and for maintaining our joke in the name when he had no obligation to do so. By contrast, the flask was a commission we explicitly paid for, and it wasn't cheap. I think it would cheapen the gesture to make it again, here.
Think this is being too kind to the guy. Mathilde didn't owe anything on either side, Olenus probably didn't think he was due something from Mathilde, nor did Mathilde feel a sense of obligation. It was purely a gesture of gratitude.
He's just a nice guy, the roll was fair. IC he wasn't the type of guy to take all the credit in the first place. The guy who made the dragonflask also mentioned enjoying the creation process for the sake of it and even injured his throat, so it's not purely mercantile. Don't think it will cheapen it for anyone, it's just a token of appreciation.
I'm not sure what you're saying here. I'm saying that we sent the Firkin because Olenus did something nice that benefited Mathilde personally with no prompting from her, as opposed to a literal transaction where we paid someone to make a thing for us that then did what it was supposed to do.
