Oh, thread madness is discussing battle altars and how to mount them?
I thought Boney already told us the canonical means Mathilde would move a battle altar?

For the purposes of a Right-of-Way Battle Altar, wouldn't mind getting a custom-built steam tank from the Dwarfs to mount it on.
Given that a RoW Battle Altar necessarily needs to be leading a charge from the front, it needs some weight to it I think, more-so than, say, a Luminark.

Would it be possible to convert substance of shadow into a substance of fog spell? Trading off the perfect intangibility for getting rid of the vulnerability to light. Sure, maybe you couldn't walk through walls, but I can imagine a lot of situations where having swords and bullets pass harmlessly through you and being able to flow around cages, bars, shackles, etc could be useful. If it retained the on and off at will nature of substance of shadow it'd be pretty hell on wheels in a fight.
Do you tihnk we can reuse this solution to haul cart of Charcoal to Laurelorn?

- being near locations is my passion.
If we get a powerful enough - or large enough number - of skywalk enchanted items to allow Stompy to walk just above the surface of the swamp, then yes. [the charcoal is loaded onto its back rather than on a wagon]
Stompy: happy mammoth noises
Wouldn't that be a variation of Alka-whatever's travelling mist spell? I think Boney said the hard part was turning yourself back into flesh without horribly imploding yourself. Alka got away with it because he's a vampire who could survive that sort of nonsense.
Also I just discovered that my phone has "Alka-whatever" in its auto-complete dictionary.

Theoretically someone with a strong affinity for literal fog might be able to.

Ulgu is all about invoking the line where one thing transitions into another. Mist is the line between water and air. A mist spell that makes air act like water makes sense.
I can see the dark elves having delved into that aspect of Ulgu. As littoral raiders, it's a theme they'd have lots of reasons to explore.

A mist spell that confuses [air] for [a burrito]...
But, actually, if I remember correctly, Ulgu is confirmed as being able to lift stuff up into the air if you're okay with it just hanging around like a fog bank a few feet over the ground, and being blown around is a boat's natural state of being, so to speak.
That would seem like a surprisingly solid use-case of an otherwise niche effect.
@picklepikkl, do you happen to know if there's a post from Boney mentioning the 'Ulgu can let things float around' idea?

It's been posted a couple times in the last day or so. Something about floating at the mercy of the wind being within Ulgu's grasp, whereas for practical directed flight you want azyr.

Thank you.
Yes, it indeed says like a sailboat. It and the post that quoted it also prove that the notion of a flying sailboat is the first immediate thought of everyone who remembers that, so I feel a bit less special.
But, you know, consider; regular trading sailboats get by pretty okay using what nature gives them. In a featureless void Azyr would let you render the boat an interesting choice of airplane frame, but if you're okay with the boat having the limitations of a boat then a boat that can go over solid ground sometimes is still a pretty good choice if you want some of the benefits of boat travel in a place that's hard to get to by boat.

I'm thinking the we have a cabin example of soil behaving like water- when Kragg and Thorek boiled the caldera. Given the 'reality is a bit twangy' comments, we might be better off with an orb of sorcery to losen reality and then a bit of runecraft to make the boat float on soil?

The real question is whether her access to the thread gestalt is something that, in the fiction of the setting, she's "always" had (so that this is her normal level of creativity), or if it's new upon becoming Mathilde's apprentice (implying that being apprenticed to Mathilde makes you accessible by us).
I'm not saying that we're a bunch of extradimensional horrors piping our dark designs into our anointed victims, but IA IA MATHILDE FHTAGN
