Yeah especially summoning something in a city. This isn't the Shadow Clone Jutsu from Naruto, putting Mathilde's face on this thing, is... well I can personally see it leading to unnecessary drama and confusion. I can maybe be convinced of putting her heraldry on the thing, but putting anyone's face on it? Nope, that just seems like a bad idea.
Cats are sacred to Ranald, and Mathilde once had a pet cat named Morr. There is plenty of connection.
Well, I'm not saying peasants COULDNT look at the image of the Hunter Count trampling skeletons 'neath the hooves of his mighty steed, runefang hewing through some foul necromancer, probably with his long hair flowing in some unseen wind, nod their heads sagely and say, 'Yes, clearly this was made to mock a great man.'
To be fair, if they have a detector that gives different tones for different kinds of magic, Witch Hunters would at least be able to tell fairly quickly if something is the actual illegal dark magic or just a particularly spooky looking legal magic.
I'll keep voting cats as long as the chance of us putting Mathilde's face on it is near second. It's the less bad option IMO. It's not a great solution, as it doesn't solve our problems as well as horses or wolves. But, it also doesn't make our face the PTSD trigger for any imperial soldier who survived a miscast. And its gauche.
Yes, we caused a huge commotion, but everyone in the city knew that a cultist was being hunted. We could have used any spell there, and people would have been fine with it.
No. They can't be used as an illusion, they are constantly trying to kill things. Your job is to point them. You want to use this on a busy street? That's crazy. This is just asking for slaughtered civvies. And who will have slaughtered them? Mathilde.
I'd expect Ranald to be associated with cats like the ones you'd find in human civilizations that worship Him, e.g Altdorf alleycats. It seems a bit of a stretch to have it also apply to lions, which is what I'm taking 'Great Cat' to mean.
Could the meteoric graphite from the Tower have an insulative role to play here?
Neutral, transparent and wind-rejecting. Likely very expensive, but this is for the limited-production Masterwork Visual Seviroscope.
Mathilde used to be constantly surrounded by cats in the old hideout. This is just her catching a bigger cat.
It really is fun how Eike was actually able to help as a result. I wasn't even expecting her to be able to do anything at all, not with two Magister Lords on the subject already, but lo and behold she did.
From what I understood several people are, in fact, imagining them to be large housecats. But yes, lions and stuff are less workable.
This is certainly a fair point. Doesn my mean there's not context, but the context is possibly problematic itself.
