Remember those Grey Wizards who went mad because they tried to learn Queekish? That was almost certainly because they went down the wrong hint and ended up learning the language ancestral to Queekish, Daemonic. Trying to learn it on purpose... well maybe if we ever get 40 Piety and 4-5 more Chaos resistance traits.

Oh, I don't doubt it for a second. Between Thorgrim and The Slayers being a constant reminder of everything bad, it's no wonder they're all a bit... depressed.
Random question: Does Karak Azul have slayers?
Yes, they just performed the rites at their own Shrine to Grimnir instead of going on a pilgrimage to Karak Kadrin.
Technically, no hold has slayers but the slayer hold.
part of the thing is renouncing your connections to the hold and clan until death.
do slayers operate out of Azul: obviously yes, it's a major institution In the whole of dwarf land.

That was how I understood it, as well. Dark tongue lacks Daemonic's 'magical weight'; it's for when you want to talk about those concepts without making things explode.

It strikes me that turning the winds of magic back into AV would essentially be what is being asked of Mathilde in that hypothetical, I do really wish we'd experimented on introducing AV to the Ranald Coin, ah well not hat it would give an answer here but it'd certainly give us a broader understanding.
That said yea, this idea is one that's in the "Do it and it doesn't work and you are going to get so much dhar poisoning it's unreal. I doubt the belt could protect us either as we'd be forcibly chanelling all eight winds into our soul first.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it already but you just wanted to pull a sneaky that Horstmann brought a chaos band, didn't you?
I'd hazard a guess that it depends a fair bit on how much effort they're putting out and how much hurt they're taking in. The more vigorously they interact with the world, the more the world is reminded that this thing ain't real, and the more energy is expended to insist.
To be fair..that wasn't a chaos cultist on the ass end of the world.
There is still a tiny chance he won't recognize us 😂.

I am one again in great distress.
I am amused but still very very worried.

Btw, Boney gave an answer to this.
Might be possible, but with our current knowledge about the winds it's a hail mary at best.

It's 100% impossible with our current knowledge of the winds, we'd need to essentially convert the winds of magic back into their original state. As far as we're aware Av/Ayther into the winds is an irreversible process.
Given that waystones are literally found all over the place, we could certainly still do this damn stupid thing should we do a bunch of research and find out that it actually isn't as stupid as it seems.
Just, you know, we can do it alone. I feel like channeling a major waystones power into the Aether in full view of multiple Imperial Magisters without a damn good explanation gets you executed on the spot, even if you are a Lord Magister. Because that looks one hell of a lot like a large scale daemon summoning.
And our actual explanation, that we are trying to feed the power to an Imperial proscribed deity, is really not much better.

Ranald isn't a proscribed god, though? Not like Stromfels, Ahalt, Vylmar, Solden or Khaine is, just deeply disfavored by the political power blocs.
EDIT: Most people don't like Solkan either, but his worship isn't banned.

I think blowing up is the more immediate issue. That asside I don't think anyone is going to be attempting summary execution on Mathilde within sight of both dwarfs and Deathfang. We do not appear to have any would be martyrs with us.
Eh, he's pissing out everone in the tent.
Not in the empire, no. I think he is proscribed in Bretonnia.
Yeah well so are crossbows and guns on land. They have odd ideas over there.

Bretonnia is also so backwards in its legal code that merchants aren't obligated to pay any taxes, since they don't actually produce anything of their own, and Bretonnia's tax code specifies that peasants owe nine-tenths of all they produce. Since the merchants use their funds to buy luxurious gifts for their feudal overlords to keep them from changing the law, this is not likely to change any time soon.
Bretonnia's a bad example to use for decision-making with regards to law, is what I'm saying.
