Doing a rereading, this quote from Algard directed at Mathilde when she is made a Magister is really funny especially since the next important thing she does is joining the Eight Peaks expedition.
I'm sure that's what he'd want us to think.Are we entirely sure he did not do it on purpose?
When in doubt, just jab it into a random rock. That always works out for the better.
Well, there's always taking hideous risks using substance of shadow to try and fuse it into a suitably important rock. Sure, it'd probably violently explode, but that's half the fun! I recommend the black pillar in skavenblight. Or maybe the oak of ages.When in doubt, just jab it into a random rock. That always works out for the better.
Problem is finding a good enough rock that does not explode. I got a plan to fix that and we only need to dedicate a measly 4 ap.
Mathilde on realizing she's dying fuses it into a rock, and spreads some story about how she'll return some day to reclaim it in the hour of the Empire/Karaz Ankor's greatest need. Then she vanishes.
The issue with the River leylines is making sure no-one tries to pull a Nagash and turn them into a new Mortis.
No different than what Von Carstein did to Sylvania. Same risks eitherway.
The big problem i see with river Leylines (aside from pumping magic into the drinking water) is that at the end of the river has to be a normal waystone. Just letting it flow into the sea seems problematic.
I disagree slightly, Vlad had to first take over Sylvania then destroy the waystones one by one.
Mathildes secret plot, feed the peasants Aether infused water.
Someone will probably argue that. It isn't too far fetched.
Leylines may not directly drain magic, but if we can turn rivers into leylines it will still make it much easier to do so.
Agreed on that.
Because no one voted for the air transmission option because most people thought it was too risky.
We were worried about air transimission leylines being easy to distrub. It's just that air leylines are so hilariously unstable that we were talking about them being disturbed by the weather and the phases of the moon. Honestly air leylines are so leaky that they might not be worth the trouble of corrupting.
I think people are mostly worried about adding Dhar into the mix. I think if river leylines work anything like normal leylines we would have Dhar packets surrounded by winds, which would ideally insulate the water from the bad juju, but I do worry a bit about what happens if those leylines are tampered with.
