Gotta give props to my two favorite write ins.

Also man I get why a bunch of Golds wanna bring their doggos with them to the afterlife now. Even with Mathildes clinical mindset, I am finding myself endeared to the murder knight. *insert elf bafflement at human capacity to pack bond with anything *

Length aside, and taking into account that it'd be sacrificing a lot of flexibility, would it be correct to presume that creating a target-specific version of Instinctive would be the safest way to make the spell, since you wouldn't need to worry about warning friendly spellcasters in the area not to use destructive magic?

The safest way would be to do what the Golds do and have it only attack the target that the Wizard explicitly points it at.

I believe an enchanted object was mentioned as a possibility with the hounds. If a true wizard (with no sense of right or wrong :V ) were to try their hands at the concept, would some kind of haunted obelisk type enchantment be a good enough home for an apparition with a license to kill?
 
You know, something about the name "The Hunter's Ruin" feels a little at odds with it's stated reasoning to me and I want to tease out what it was.

I know it's intended to invoke the servant bringing out ruin, but the spell, on the face of it, ruins those who would hunt down wizards on the battlefield and that sense gets all the stronger. As a result, the the naming convention feels like like the Ruin sent out by the Hunter (Count), and more like the Ruin that came to the Hunter Count.

One Hunter Count and the wizard that was his knight, councilor, and in-that-moment bodyguard, standing against impossible odds.

Looked at that way, it's in no way a bad name, but it seems quite poignant one. At once a memory, immortalization, and defiance of a tragedy: "Mathilde Weber ever regretted her inability to save Abelhelm, and so she bound her own regrets to repeat moment of that tragedy forevermore in spell, that it would not occur again." Which at least certainly feels like it fits with the mindset of a creature that fundamentally bases its nature around setting the world right and making it orderly once more.

So, yeah, with a story to the name that strong, I'll approve it.

Potentially, though it would restrict it to the general area of that obelisk instead of it being free to roam the planet.

Then again, that's kind of the point. We can just set more apparitions at different obelisks. Now the real issue would be to make sure the apparition leaves friendly casters alone when they want to perform maintenance/use it for something (ie what we did at Vlag) while still attacking necromancers who want to clog it up for Dhar.

You can certainly lean harder into the Aethyric, but lethal is right there.
