Eh i'm sure they can get flexible in their usage of S&M.

Smoke and Mirrors can refer to a spell, apparently a sexual act and a form of deception. How wonderfully elven and how wonderfully druchii if you think about the implications.

I've personally been calling it "Smears" in my head. Because, y'know, if you do it right it smears your tactical envelope out to cover the entire battlespace, and if you do it wrong it smears you out to cover the entire battlespace.

"Never been" in this case means that he's never been there before.
Both Runelords and Living Ancestors do whatever they damn well please. Kragg is both, so that goes double for him.
He's never been there. Which is rare for him to say, considering how long he's been doing his thing.
Half my family are doctors, I know what a smear is.
That's somehow worst then S&M

The semantics have been explained, but it might be more useful to explain how the sentence is formed. "Never been." is contracted from "I have never been there."
I guess. I mostly see it used for generic biology - essentially anything that goes in a petri dish - or in artificial intelligence and controls when talking about spreading signals out in the time domain.

Personally for Smoke and Mirrors I think just calling it Mirrors with extra emphasis and context works as an abbreviation.
If you drop 'safe', 'sane' and 'sensual' from S&M, its only distinguishing feature from assassination is the torture supplement.

I do not think Druchii would snicker at this. People snicker like that at what is considered taboo and obscene, not at what is considered standard workplace procedure and raison d'aitre.

Don’t think of it as dying; just as leaving early

It's probably not called the same thing in Druhir though. Which is sad, but still.

They probably use the same word they use for sex. Some level of S&M is always implied.

NO! Bad kitty!But i wants them.
get's water-spray, threateningly.
The one where people forget your face? Or the untrustworthy one? Tragic, the two of them

Edit: I wonder how Flicker (Light seems uneasy in your presence. Lamps flicker, candlelight dims, and fires burn low around you) interacts with runic or electric lighting.

Obviously that would cause the dramatic lights flickering out for a second, plunging the area into darkness, before they come back on with Mathilde having appeared out of nowhere.

You give me a change to roll on those arcane mark tables and i will be throwing the dice so hard there will be shrapnel.

I think arcane marks are inevitable and will happen one way or another, but I'd rather not purposely go lookimg for one.

But think, once we have them all, we no longer need to worry about them, it's a win/win.

I'd really rather not chance the "You're a compulsive liar forever.", "Noone will ever remember your face again." and "Noone will be ever able to properly touch you again." marks for a marginal power boost.
Trickster makes your first impression untrustworthy, it doesn't make you a compulsive liar and Insubstantial makes the body only slightly insubstantial, not to the point of making touch impossible.
