Clan Eshin sorcerers in the army book also get access to the skitterleap spell as battlemagic.

Because we want to stab something!
Because we want the sorceror's corpse and their stuff...
I don't trust anything the vampires or chaos say is true most of the time.
As for Teclis as I already said, I'm more than willing to say that he's telling the truth, just that he hasn't told us the full story, why? I dunno maybe the full truth wasn't something important to the situation so he decided not to say anything, maybe he felt humans weren't ready for it, maybe he forgot he's a busy person.
The point is that I'm willing to accept its the truth, but not the whole truth.
Yeah, but typically you don't to try and assassinate other assassins.
That's like stabin people in the neck 101.
Right...so basically in order to match it in mobility we have to continually cast a battle/fiendishly complex magic and it just has to spam a simple spell...
Welp that's not good.
Well yes I would not trust vampires or Chaos in isolation either, but they hate each other and both hate the high elves, so why would they all three come up with the same lie about the warp and the nature of gods?
Skitterleap is just better in every way. It doesn't have a range restriction, you just need to be able to see where you're going, and you can teleport other people with it, while also being a simple spell.
Presumably the Lore of Stealth is just better at teleportation, which makes sense as using Dhar to destroy distance is more in theme. It's the same way that other lores are better at weapon creation than Shadow is.

Seriously, the main reason I don't like participating in this thread much is because people are so perpetually shitty and snide about the way other people vote on important decisions. Can y'all just cut it out please?
Believing Teclis and believing people's summaries of books are a bit different things. =/
There's also the Elementalism thing. The Elves probably knew it, and Teclis probably decided to teach Color Magic theory in order to rush to Battle Magic (a suggestion I find compelling) but... that did result in Imperial Magisters not knowing much about Elementalism. So Imperial Magisters aren't always all-knowing and infallible.
That said, people have been happy to disagree with Teclis and Volans' judgment/decision on whether the Colleges should worship Gods or be a secular organization whenever that perspective's come up. Pretty frequently I see "melding magic and miracles" as a running theme in quests, a belief pretty directly against what Volans thought should happen.
So, I mean...
These very things that crop up a lot in threads -- tons and magic+miracles -- themselves are sort of... counter or defiance of Imperial magic or most of established lore. It basically came about due to theorycrafting and people making a lot of assumptions -- chief among them the idea that if Chaos Sorcerers can gain magical power from worshipping their gods, why shouldn't others? alongside a few other bits and pieces (Damsels, Nehekhara... And also sometimes talking about miscast risks. Though they've got the same levels thereof on tabletop.)) -- and just running with them.
It's... The ideas sound interesting, sure. Some arguments might or might not be compelling. But -- *sigh*.
Hell, it might even work out and succeed in a thread one day, but... Gah.

Noting that its still casting a spell and that means Poke For Miscast is going to be a game they both play here.

The main drawback to Skitterleap is that you have to have a 2 yard (about 1.8 Meters) distance between you landing spot and any creature/obstruction.
At this point I feel sorry for Mors, with how often they are shit on by the dice.Hmm.

RIP Mors Hope they don't give the Dragon indigestion.Hmm.

I brought it up when people discussed Mathilde's Will.
Or, well, technically I was just talking about an unspecified book to be given to Greta and definitely shouldn't be used to teach her any Dark Arts that can solve any nasty "death" poblems.

the character name is mors.
so it's presumably someone from clan mors being hunted.

Why can't we all just get along?
Edit: The character of that roll is marked as Mors and the title is "Being Hunted". I fail to see how it could be interpreted as Mathilde's roll.

...Ahahaha. Welp.Hmm.
Also, additional spoilers with regards to the Orokos dice roller Boney's using:
Mathilde gets 96 on Hunting, Eshin Sorc. rolled 68 on Being Hunted, Eshin in general rolled 87 on Being Hunted while ominously, the Dragon gets 50 on Being Hunted.

It states Mors as the character so it's not us. which is good for us.

You say that like people can't make the same mistakes independently.
Yikes.
I imagine poking to blow up a battle magic is easier though.
That's not as big a draw back compared to ours though.
...wait a minuite is that Mors hunting us or is that Mors hunting Esshin?Hmm.
