The most important spell for a journeywomen shadowmancer is the shadow steed. Having faster overland movement than basically anyone else is huge. In terms of utility it's more valuable than many bigger and more complex spells.
Mathilde's metastatized Dwarven infection makes her a much more diligent master than Regimand.
This is cool and strong, but I am a bit bothered by how much this seems like the mechanics for Guard Bypass rather than the entire style. Neither the I-Cant-Believe-Its-Not-Dualwielding nor the ability to swing a Greatsword with minimal commitment due to dematerialisation seem like they would only be useful on attack or be this mitigateable. There is the +1 to the overall stat, but that is carrying a ton of narrative weight if it represents all of that.
Considering her apparent idol worship of Mathilde, she would love learning that spell. Watch as she starts galloping around proclaiming her position as the Dämmerlichtreiter's apprentice to the world.
And we can hit them with magic in the middle of combat to make them forget who we are and everything they know about us.This is cool and strong, but I am a bit bothered by how much this seems like the mechanics for Guard Bypass rather than the entire style.

I also feel like that last sentence needs an additional 'and realise this is what they are fighting' given a full 100% of current practitioners love sneak attacks and have disguise magic
Nevertheless, Hammer.
We are gonna end up with five wholly different ways to make waystomes networks by the end of this.
Hmm. An idea I just got; @Boney could we learn the Lesser Magic spell MMAPP and teach it to Eike, all in one action? (Assuming we succeed on the roll to learn it in the first place that is.)
Or enemies that are prepared for us. Being able to swap between guard bypass and double tap makes the countermeasures for bypass counter productive.
More ordered?
The best part of prototyping waystones in Stirland is that if anyone asks about your priorities, you can just point firmly at Sylvania.
It seems very likely to me that either combatant would immediately figure out a counter/work around and adjust. We'd at best get 1 hit. And neither opponent is likely to fall to that single hit.
We gave a ton of money to the Council of Manhorak back on turn 39 so it's only been two years. If they are still standing themselves up in the area influencing them to also push into the rivers would help now more than later when they are more entrenched. And we have a lot of pull in Stirland/Eastern Stirland when it comes to "I want to funnel all the extra magic that would otherwise become evil to this demigod who is already an active combatant on our side of this fight". Let him take half for all I care.
Oh sure, if we roll extremely well and they roll extremely poorly we'd certainly get an immediate and significant advantage out of that, I'm just saying its unlikely to guarantee victory or allow for a 1 shot one kill in a reliable fashion against such skilled opponents. We're probably devastating against chaff though.
Turn 39 was 1 year ago (two turns per year)
Do you think that would change their ability to take on that task? An extra year one way or another is a lot in terms of infrastructure development.
I'd say he'll reach smugness levels of around 6 demiMathildes.
So, did he mean third decade of apprenticing, or third decade total age? Because if the latter, this is something the Rhunkit could actually manage enmasse, despite my earlier doubts.
Smh, i want battlemagic tho.
Battle magic is learning.
