Burning Shadows's native targeting system is based on the caster's perception, so I can imagine a fail-safe system where "dwarf" is an impossible targeting choice unless you get the full council override or whatever, but "loyal and friendly to K8P" would not be legal because the caster cannot perceive that.
I think burning shadows have basic IFF, which is why the tower was so appealing in the first place.
Move the mountain from [part of the landscape] to [a distinct object], and then move that [distinct object] from [a building] to [part of the shadow we're casting]?
I imagine the farmers might be pleased at the utility. On the other hand, it does raise the question of what sort of residue the spell leaves behind, if at all.
To further explain trying to weave with pedipalps...imagine weaving with one hand, attached to your head by the wrist, where you cannot see it directly, with only four fingers.
Brazier of coals and a large sheet of polished metal, usually brass(due to corrosion resistance) as a reflector.
Yeah, shifting a mountain's shadow when the sun is up requires that your light source be brighter than the sun. Which would be difficult to sustain.
Not sure how the Aqshy of the Inexhaustible Flame would interact with it, we know normal Burning Shadows exploits make use of large bonfires, but that sounds like a suitable seed idea. You just need aqshy eating runes to keep the Aqshy in the brazier letting only the light out, but you could probably do that with magic eating runes and mirrors?
A good point; rather than moving the flame around, it might be better to move mirrors so that the light is spread across the edges of wherever we want to aim without us having to transport a gigantic runic light source, or whatever.
Last update was at 12:26 (Freedom Time), so they've got 17-18-ish more minutes before the vote should be closed, plus however much time they need to sleep, wake up, and read through the backlog. The update is probably going to be some hours from now.
Well, we know that light-runes don't produce hysh that would foul our neutrality room, but we don't exactly know that it's mundane in the same way sunlight or burning stuff is.
Please let's not do this. It hasn't even been 24 hours. He often closes the vote at something more like 28 hours because he's sleeping/busy/whatever at the exact 24 hour mark.
Perfect coordination among its constituent bodies doesn't solve the problems of "the pedipalps are not very long and the spiders' bodies are large compared to hands, and so multiple We working on the same loom as makeshift hands will get in each other's way" or "they have literally never done anything like this before and would need to be taught to weave as a complete beginner, which isn't great when you're trying to establish an industry."
That would lead to different problems. Due to the We being so big, the only cloth they'd be able to make would be sized for giants.
Finally a good use for necromancy + mathilde's matrix. Practical jokes from beyond the grave.
Doesn't solve the problem of them getting in each other's ways: imagine multiple dogs, each with the end of a thread in its mouth, trying to cross the threads over one another in a tight pattern. Essentially the entire body would be the loom's shuttle, and a dog-sized shuttle is not conducive to weaving.
ah, but are they small but viscous dog sized, or large and viscous dog sized?
