Now you aren't even being subtle about the "Using tongs to get multi-wind" thing being just a front for getting us to use Dhar manipulation

Ninjafish is what I would tentatively classify as a variant of an Omega-Type voter, in case you were wondering. Different specifics, but they argue based on certain assumptions about setting details that are not held by the majority of the thread (e.g vampires are the next step in human evolution and other things of that nature, as an example, if I recall correctly).
Hedge Lore does have a casting cost of literally zero, if I remember that time somebody posted the details correctly (it must have been thousands of pages ago).

While using dhar would be fun, i actually am serious about trying for something without it.
Dhar is just an acceptable booby prize.
It hasn't. I didn;t say without the winds. I said without the Warp.

I mean... vampires are a further step in human evolution.
Not necessarily the only possible route though.
Too bad no one is bothering to try and find any alternatives.
At this point, you are deliberately misinterpreting the actual lore for the sake of pushing what is not just a minority agenda, but one that is completely opposed to everything the rest of the player base wants. You are an outright troll, and have gone beyond mere disruption to outright sabotage.
Why haven't you been thread banned yet?

Which doesn't change the fact necromancy turns everyone who uses it into crazed lunatics who do bad things. It's not bad because of immortality, it's not bad because the gods of Nehekhara don't like humanity, it's bad because using Dhar screws up your mind.

On the topic of "thread has reached stage 8", one of the intermediate stages to producing a Power Stone is obtaining it in a liquid form; comparisons have been made with this stage and Snakejuice. Now, I assume that drinking an incomplete ulgu-stone would be almost immediately fatal. However: One of the possible Arcane Marks that we could get involves the symbol of Ulgu appearing somewhere on our body,
We know that getting a tattoo of mundane ink would not grant the benefits of this mark.
...but what if we used Snake Juice or an incomplete Power Stone to make the tattoo?

I'm fairly certain a Warrior of Fog evolution would be in line here, its perfectly resonant with the entire war turn so far, was the centerpiece of our full strategy from start to end, and factored into the multi-turn setup before that. Might well be automatic.
That said given how much looting we've been doing a Treasure Eye trait to rapidly identify whats the most useful thing to take if you only had a few minutes and no context to decide wouldn't be wrong either.
Or a Hail Dread Arengee trait...

Invent the Pariah Gene.
Or just try and become the first C'tan if warhammer fantasy.
I thought Cathay is the replacement of 'nippon' because GW correctly deduced using a real nation name (however obsolete it may be) for a fantasy place is dumb and culturally idiotic.
They then apparently missed the point because 'Cathay' is a invented Victorianism about china when they were fetishizing the 'mystic east'. Using a real name or a fake name given by dead and buried foreigner otakus of another completely real nation that didn't like the previous and vice-versa for a fantasy product...
Cure worse than the disease? Meh it's not like they don't do the same with 'Tilea' and such, but that's pretty tone deaf example if i have the sequence right.
resuming i thought GW was tending to 'nippon and cathay are one and the same in different editions', which is probably one more example of terrible decisions on worldbuilding and unnecessary friction if true.

No, those are straight up the names GW decided to go with
Note that Cathay has a lot of details that are actually Japanese and not at all Chinese

"Well, I've got nothing."
This is remarkably foolish, considering:
Your purported tool for doing so is, in fact, quite likely intended to keep track of attempting to do so.

No, Cathay is Fantasy China and Nippon is Fantasy Japan.
The witch hunters would love Mathilde. Also isn't that basically dwarves with there by biology is basically as anti magic as you can get?

Not really?
The lore is up for interpretation.
And I kinda resent being called a troll and being accused of trying to sabotage you all?
I haven't made any sockpuppet accounts to try and rig the voting, or bribed anyone, or purposefully tried to post shit that could get the thread locked.
I have just tried to argue for the course of action i want, if it doesn't work... well i'll keep trying, but i aint gonna get salty about it.

Khatep of Nehekara, the Liche Lord, Grand Hierophant of Nehekara is working on it.
Several millenia of research to make perfect, immortal, living bodies for Settra and all Settra might want to share that honor with.
So be assured, a mage with power and experience far beyond our current means is doing his best to achieve your goals, maybe we will get a chance to hear what he got so far eventually.

The Empire is basically the Holy Roman Empire. Bretonnia is an actual region of France. Albion is England. Nippon and Cathay are entirely par the course.

No, Cathay is the China equivalent, and it's Nippon which is the Japan equivalent.
It'd be a massive reinterpretation of the effects and narrative value of the belt. 'Speculation would imply so' is kind of meaningless when it was speculation implying it that caused people to ask Boney about it. Like when Boney confirmed that Mathilde was secretly a vampire all along.
You advocate for Dhar. You are a troll.

I don't think that's true.
For us to be able to hire two more Wizards, it would have to drop the AP cost of the two organizations we manage to 1/3 instead of 1/2. I think we only get 1 more for free if we pick up Collegiate.
The problem with this is that magic is famously difficult to teach to other people directly, because everyone's means of manipulating magic is so individual to them, and unlike the process of learning a normal spell where you can fuck up a bit without danger, every time they fuck up they will be exposed to ambient Dhar.

That's not trollish at all.
It's perfectly legitimate path to want to explore in a quest.
And I'm not advocating for dhar anyway (Well not right now anyways), merely a process that may result in dhar until we perfect it. Kinda like how nuclear reactors results in radiation if not handled properly.
Just because you don't agree with me doesn't make me a troll my dude.

Thinking along that line, one of the Skaven weapons, the Warpforged Blade, is basically a steel sword alloyed with warpstone powder. If one considers warpstone as a Dhar powerstone, it stands to reason that one could potentially alloy powdered powerstones into metal as well. I mean, there's no way that an Ulgu-alloyed blade will hold a candle to Kragg's work, but a proof of concept would put a substantial tool at the disposal of the Colleges for making magically enhanced weapons, armor, jewelry...
