I think what it'd do is just mitigate the failure severity of Overwork for primarily physical tasks at best if used that way. No, the time saving comes from Mathilde sprinting and jumping everywhere like an Elder Scrolls character because:
1) She doesn't get fatigued from physical activity, theres no reason to NOT be at top speed all the time unless talking to people, especially if she has a spell active which masks her position.
2) It progresses her from Fit to Very Fit, she lives at the top of a mountain, even if she's not getting tired from it her muscles are getting a hell of a workout.
3) If we combine it with Cloak Activity, she can sprint everywhere while looking like she's walking, effectively moving like a horror movie character, giving everyone nightmares.
Doing this, by my rough estimate, might save her an AP per 2 AP for actions performed within the same Karak in saved time.
Uh, the worst that happens is that we botch the action we're taking the extra action on due to being too tired to pay attention properly.
We've tested it sufficiently that based on our understanding of runecraft, it should be very useful. Further experiments would not improve that without a runesmith's knowledge, its a theory we cannot test without getting a runesmith.
Also that yeah.
My understanding of it is that each aspect is worshipped by quite a wide range of people:
-Deceiver should be worshipped a lot by nobles, merchants, and thieves, anyone who needs to tell a lie with high sincerity.
--Enemies would be the adherents of Truth or Honor gods, law enforcement and the like.
-The Gambler is worshipped by everyone, but especially those in risky trades like soldiers(who'd pray to both their preferred Imperial War God AND Ranald because you never know), sailors, long haul merchants, and thieves.
--There are no enemies to this aspect except grumpy longbeards complaining about all this unreliability thing.
-The Night Prowler is the patron of thieves and spies, anyone seeking his favor under this aspect probably doesn't want it to be known to begin with.
--Basically everyone is on some level an enemy of this aspect, including other adherents of it really.
-The Protector is a patron of commoners, watchmen, militiamen, and also anyone in a position of power who genuinely does good for those below them.
--Enemies are those who make a living off exploiting their lessers, be it nobles or industry owners. Ironically, while banned in Bretonnia the Protector SHOULD technically approve of chivalrous knights living up to their ideals.
--But on the other hand its just so much more convenient to squeeze out another 5% more profit and oppress the shit out of people following the Protector instead.
What BoneyM had said on gods is that "sure, they're blobs of Aethyric energy, but so are humans".
So by implication they're at least possessed of self-identity and will, but could be changed externally given sufficient force applied to the problem. Like people could be changed by peer pressure or by experimental surgery.
Depends. Knowledge is not inherently discovery though.
I assume if we DID have such a tower it'd damned well be controlled by a powerful seal.
Does the Gold College mind if one of their Journeymen basically decided their true calling is being a Magister's secretary?
Right, just wary since their spell selection and traits are likely to be very important to the Karagril battle and after Panoramia I don't think any of us are going to be comfortable assuming that they'd just gladly sit out the battle if we told them to.
Looking at the peripheral signs I don't think its going to worsen any time soon. Belegar did put some show into "never forget the past".
But reconciliation would take two very stiff individuals bending.
