This is, uh, certainly the most unique manifestation of "waiting-for-an-update thread madness" I've seen in a while.

Also brings new meaning to the principle of "attacks that reduce their targets to chunky salsa."

Kind of, yeah. It cheats by grabbing people's souls and making them do all the hard work, which is why it doesn't work on properly consecrated corpses; they've moved on, and all.

but. But.
but then they're not puppets!
Are you telling me necromancers would do that!
go onto forums and lie to people! :V

This then goes back to "is it wrong to subjugate apparitions to our will since they can act on their own" and it seems like the answers is "Gehenna is NOT a daemonology summoner! She's chamon and not dhar so it's totally different"

. . . would it be wrong to add the knowledge we have of Dhar puppetry of corpses to massively increase the amount of bodies we can propagate and loosely control via Warrior of Fog?

Depending on quite what Apparitions are I think a combination of what we know of Necromancy and what we may learn of Gazul's Lore could well prove pretty effective:

Some of the useful parts of Necromancy may be about incorporeal undead.

I duno. incorporeal undead are just floaty souls that refuse to leave.

But Spirit Hosts need to be commanded, and I think that we would take the general order-propagating-structure so that we can order large numbers of low skill illusions around to do simple tasks

such as burrito making :V

actually, question. Do we want a larger amount of illusions/shadows with low skill? or smaller numbers of higher skill?

Because the higher skill will definitely make better burritos, just sayin

Question is, which is better? Orc salsa, or skaven salsa? Plenty of people swear by the orc variety, preferring its simplicity and the straightforward punch of its flavour, but personally I find that the warpstone in skaven salsa adds a fizzing kick you can't get any other way.

Illusions don't have skills, that's why we needed apparitions at all.

Well, I suppose I'll have to make the case for Salsa Verdé then.

It's better, nyah!

Whichever one comes without cilantro. Because as derpmind stated, the truly poisonous part of the salsa is the part that tastes like bitter soap-nasty.

She wasn't the one who made that pie. She just ate it after the others set it on fire.

I went back and found the scene:
BoneyM said:
Titus almost overbalances as he suddenly tears himself away from his still-roasting haunch. "We're making pie?"

---

You now know that a good pie is supposed to cook for at least an hour, but as you've just discovered, if you cover the pie in cooking brandy and set it alight after a mere thirty minutes... you get a soggy brandy pie half-cooked on the inside and burned on the outside. You'd still eaten your share, and been very sternly cautioned not to follow it up with anything strenuous. You had very gravely informed Titus that it was your solemn duty to check that the ale was still good, and with equal solemnity he had informed you that the task was grave enough that an exception would have to be made.

And it gives me no indication that Mathilde was not involved in making it, and rather implies she took part in the making, otherwise why would she be obligated to eat her share.

Now that you point it out I am also bothered.

Mathilde's KNIFE: Knightly Night Implement For Eliminations

It's a sword :V

(Alt: Knightly Night Implement for Foe-Execution)
Click to expand...

Actually, even better: An entire family of names for the same sword-spell. So that everyone can personalize it for their own use? Because Mathilde couldn't settle on a single name? To piss off students studying for exams? Who knows!

F: For, Foe, Facilitating, Free, Forthright, Frightening, Fast, Frightful...
E: Elimination, Extermination, Excursions, Extinguishment, Exsangunation, Expression, Expropriation, Expeditions, Excruciation, Excoriation, Evasculation, Exertation, Experimentation, Enemies...

Just pick two and you have your spell! Mathilde's Knightly Night Implement for Facilitating Expression! Mathilde's Knightly Night Implement for Frightening Enemies, Mathilde's Knightly Night Implement for Facilitating Exterminations, the are so many possibilities that I'd get bored writing them down and write a program to do it!

Because she organized the entire affair. It's like putting your PI's name on all your research papers: Even if all they did was sign off on the grant money, they still get to be last author.

When they said there was no hope left, and that the endless armies of the Burrito Gods would consume the world, salvation arrived from the island of Ulthuan, as Teclis founded the Colleges of Tacos.

The Elves looked down upon the Colleges, as they believed that true tacos could only be created by masters of all eight ingredients single-handedly weaving them in harmony: Shell, Meat, Refried Beans, Cheese, Guacamole, Sour Cream, Lettuce, Onions. But Teclis departed from this wisdom and instead trained disciples of each individual ingredient, reasoning that a single ingredient may only be able to create a complete taco in collaboration but would still be worth perfecting on its own! Tortilla chips, Nachos, Bean Dip, French onion dip, all of these may only be inferior relatives of the true tacos, but they are still delicious. And so the Colleges were born.

Thread: Immediately begins brainstorming how to use magic to make burritos.

Please, I beg of you, stop! Before our QM nerfs the entire Mexican Cookbook! :V
