(Actually, has anybody pointed that out? Abandoned as a child, but rather than as a baby having never known parents, Mathilde's parents stood aside to allow her to be burned, also read a spooky book, and rather than having Sigmar just not respond to help in an identity crisis had Sigmar not respond to a call by a devout priest to help her Lord, another devout follower, in a campaign where Sigmar has already helped. Am I being uncharitable to Archy here?)
Ah, so not an actual existing item, but an item to emulate a natural effect. Cool.Balrogs are beings "surrounded by shadow and flame", so I was thinking a combination of Cascading Fire-Cloak and our own mastered version of Dread Aspect so we get a cloak that attacks people with flaming tentacles while also making us terrifying.
No need to bother Shallya, we've got access to a perfectly good home made solution. We've even used the process once before which makes it basically a traditional home remedy, and you know how much the people of Stirland and Dwarfs love tradition. No need to search for this miracle cure I'll provide the quote for you.@BoneyM, if we give the Shallyans enough money, will they heal Johann?
What brilliance! I don't know about you but I'm certainly convinced that this is a good idea that could have absolutely no negative consequences whatsoever.Speaking of Johann, if we really cared about him we'd be willing to help him with the problem with his eyes. Fortunately I have a great idea on how to do it, best of all it's simple and we can do it right now. Ready for it? Prepare to have your mind blown because here it comes.
The problem with Johann's eyes is that they're full of Chamon. This Chamon prevents us from just regenerating his eyes or providing some other fix such as attempting to gild them again. Fortunately we have an easy way to get rid of all the built up Chamon. What is this easy fix? We simply need to transform it into Dhar. All we have to do is give Johann Mathilde's runic belt, stick a bunch of Dhar in his eyes and then apply the Seed to fix any damage. We even have a precedent of turning another wizard's magic into Dhar with Gretel.
If you really care about Johann then you'd be willing to do at least this much wouldn't you?
...have you been taking some of Omegahuggers seminars? Because that sounds like something they would say.What brilliance! I don't know about you but I'm certainly convinced that this is a good idea that could have absolutely no negative consequences whatsoever.
I hesitate to ask but... "Battle magics" sounds plural. Does that mean we can combine a battle magic spell with a non-battle magic spell?It means if you try to combine battle magics or ten different spells or something I'll bonk you over the head with the word 'basic'.

I'm pretty sure that if you make a cloak that attacks people with flamy tentacles, it will make us terrifying without any extra effort.Balrogs are beings "surrounded by shadow and flame", so I was thinking a combination of Cascading Fire-Cloak and our own mastered version of Dread Aspect so we get a cloak that attacks people with flaming tentacles while also making us terrifying.
I would be surprised if they didn't.
Your opinion is noted, though I will point out the power of proposing a turn plan is something that Boney, in his democratically-minded generosity, has distributed to all the people of SV.@picklepikkl please include enchantment lessons next turn because I want a balrog cloak.
Do we have any idea of the scope of non-monetary favor we would need to do the Shallyans to make it a plausible course of action?
keeping track of grievances and arguments is not a good idea for thread culture in the long run.
Looking at that thing, it's suddenly completely understandable why the Dwarven word for human means "shoddy."

Mmm, overall a good idea in thread etiquette, sure; 'Don't restart old arguments.'
Kinda lacks something when it's the very same style of argument coming up again and again, though. Eh, I'll just try to make sure to give the rules another read-over by next vote, see what's acceptable for all sides.
The worst is when it ends up working.Looking at that thing, it suddenly completely understandable why the Dwarven word for human means "shoddy."
I would also have severe reservations about teaching engineering secrets to people who turn around and use them to make that.
If Phoenix King wanted to respond with clarity, he could have done so when the Empire was asking. Since he did not, I am not sure why would he respond to Mathilde alone.I don't see how that's relevant to my proposal. The Ambassador doesn't have to say a single word out of turn to us. He just has to pass a message back to the Phoenix King bypassing the usual bullshit, who himself is personally very familiar with trade, foreign relations, and humans. He can then choose how to respond without being blindsided or rushed.
@BoneyM, spells can be channelled to increase their power, with the biggest example I've seen in the quest being making the gold pile in Nar look worthless. Can you do the same in regards to making magic items? For example, instead of spending 5 favour for a sword with Enchant Item giving it +5, you instead spend 10 favour for a sword with channelled Enchant Item giving it +10.
Putting aside the very likely clash between divine magic and Chamon: Shallya is the White Dove of Mercy that brings comfort to the innocent victims of war, pestilence, and famine. Those that go out of their way to pour molten metal in their eyes twice do not fall under that umbrella, especially when they aren't in pain and have the means to overcome the handicap.
I mean, I have only ever won one outright, though variants of plans I proposed have won more often than that. Besides, I only got to the point of "credible turnplanner" by passing through the stage of "brash upstart"; I didn't start out credible, I just kept annoying the thread with my own suggestions until they started being taken seriously. I really do think that the power of turnplanning has become more democratized with time; I could go through the K8P-era turnplans and list the winning planmakers (as well as if they were a variant of someone else's) to demonstrate this.Yea but In principle over three-four peoples plans ever win.
So whilst the power to make plans exists for every one in principle, in practice not really?
Last turns winner in @Rafin was a first timer too, if I'm not mistaken.I mean, I have only ever won one outright, though variants of plans I proposed have won more often than that.
