No? Was this a thing? We had a big thing where we burned an army of ghouls to death with a magical light source. Now, I'm not talking about similar scales here, the scale might have been a literal miracle, but the basic idea of the precedent remains; so long as it's not a metaphorical light, it counts.

It was when we burned that vampire to death.
Literally glows, specifically.
Found the quote, I wasn't quite right. It can work with magical lights, but it's risky and can cause issues:

Thats kinda why i wanted to get a one hand runeaxe or one of the reasons since it should be abit better for assanisation rather than gun wich is loud or the greatsword.
My best thoughts were probably a rune of fire and rune of speed combo for 3 favors on the approx cost since we have 3 favors left(maybe have the grateful runepriest who thanked us for witnessing kragg do this for us for the last of current favors)?
We could even get it now if boney allowed and people were interested and it would be dual wieldable with our gun aswell when were not doing magic and be useful when greatsword isnt ideal to use when we are forced to melee.
Wouldnt hate a runesword after the campaign if we dont get a proper rune weapon with the rewards tough from this . Maybe again convince kragg to do one and want super killy , runefang inspired at around 10-12 favors for a personal runefang since he is probably the person to know alaric master rune? But this depends alot if we dont get a proper side weapon before this and get lots and lots of favors from the campaign .
Since doing the fortification is expensive and 4 favors and maybe 2 favors for dwarf farming and prospecting, 5 favors for dwarf blackpowder factory and maybe it was 2 for each further niter factories in other cities for good passive income and helping the dwarfs by selling them niter that they dont have to farm from murder bats mainly apparently. Thats 11 favors that i kinda want to have after we return or abit more than that for more money and helping dwarfs aswell.
@BoneyM , The anti chaos thingie or atleast the valaya rune wich makes u kinda immune to chaos is unique to kragg or would other runepriests or runelords be able to do that aswell? I mean literally that aspect of our talisman and mainly the chaos corruption immunity and how much would it be favor scale wise?
Cause if it isnt super rare then the colleges would be pretty interested in it as a thing to do when dealing with iffy artifacts and stuff at the least or even as elite gear for some mages?

I'm reasonably sure tyat the QM went to explain that the trick may or may not work with any given source of magical light, and can behave erratically or produce dhar based on a number of factors we have no fucking idea about, and that was what stopped the enthusiasm about spell combos. We lucked out, true, but we were playing with fire there.
Still, with our new talisman we might be less cautious, to a point. While dhar is no longer suchban issue, the possibility of erratic behaviour is.

I don't think the talisman protects from miscasts. Or at least, not all of them.

True, but that wouldn't exactly be your normal miscast. The dhar would be produced outside of the caster, not inside, and the talisman explicily protects from external dhar.

"Suddenly, Demons" is still a problem, though.
I'm really more worried about Weird Shit™. A miscast can do just about anything. Mind, with those spells it probably won't rip open a portal into the warp. But there's still plenty of other nastiness possible. Hell, all it would take is removing the friendly fire restriction, and we'd end up cooking our dudes.
For added FUN, it removes the friendly fire protection, we get hit, the spell is eaten by the rune, and it burns the spell from our mind.

Less of one, these days we can hug them.
In hindsight, "suddenly demons" is a better description than my "possibility of erratic behaviour is an issue". Same meaning, but much less of a mouthful.

Dwarfwork is about as consistent as it gets. If anything can be a reliable magic torch, it'd be something they built to be a reliable magic torch.
Well, you're going to have be more specific, you know.
A problem we can solve with our sword of burningness and shadows!
Well yes but unlike warping of the soul it is a problem that can be stabbed to death.
This is true!
Which is why our new belt makes me much more interested in pushing for Battle Magics rather than Sword Good.
Or, you know, risky research in general.
Clearly the only sensible option is to start drinking that delicious snake juice.

We were born in a podunk little village that we feel nothing for. Our home is the Grey College.
The more fundamental issue with Dhar/Necromancy is that it is so much more powerful than what any individual WoM limits a magic user that there is a massive temptation to use it, but even with good intentions the costs for outweigh the benefits.
Because even if individual members of her order are willing to look the other way when Mathilde breaks article 7 for "inventing" new Ulgu spells openly using it will end with either Mathilde dead, or every Imperial* Wizard Lord dead alongside a majority of the Magisters dead.
*The Grey Order will try to keep it in house to avoid the loss of legitimacy from not policing their own, but open violations of article 7 by Imperial Magisters is an existential issue for the Imperial Colleges, or at least they are when the individual in question has the Libre Mortis to skip all the way to "horrific crimes against the dead/living", and presumably effective strategic scale Necromancy.

[X] Have Ulthar handpick his best sharpshooters to be equipped with envenomed bolts.
Really don't want to get bogged down in the badlands. An army this large is unlikely to remain undetected no matter what but we can still delay the response a fair bit.
[X] Help Esbern teach Seija to Dispel.
[X] Ask him to teach Johann to Dispel.
[X] Help him find a place with the dwarf artillery crews so that he can supplement their abilities in combat.
I really want all of these done before our first major engagement and that could be any time now.
[X] Purchase the strange Lustrian eggs (200 gc).
Sometimes I can resist the siren call of the mystery box. This is not one of those times.
[X] Purchase the Helldrake scales (100 gc).
Seems good. Unfortunately they're likely to collect dust in our inventory for a long time before we get around to using them.
[X] Do not purchase the title of a Border Princess.
I don't really want to steer this story in the direction of becoming a warlord in that chaotic mess of a place. If we had way more gold I might consider it if only for the ability to sell it off later or for the doors the title might open but as things are it's just too pricey.

Having a really great time right now
Have people voting for the eggs considered... what exactly are we going to do with eggs - and whatever hatches out of them - on the campaign trail for 5 years?
At least with the border princess thing, we can get people to call us 'Princess Dame Mathilde Weber'.
