[X] You are a faithful of Ranald, being in the right place at the right time to unbalance the scales. Try to steal the energies.

Because I think this is the safest, and most feasible option. These traditions and methods exist for a reason after all, and just going "Give it to Ranald for the shinies" isn't very appealing to me. I like the idea of being a bad-ass professional Grey Wizard more than a priest of Ranald.

To be fair, "ground Mork's energy for safety" is the sort of thing that sounds like it could easily be followed by "and then the ground exploded".

I don't think Teclis had Waaagh energy in mind when he developed his teachings.

What could possibly go wrong?

I don't think anyone is going to give it to Ranald for the shinies. We give it to him because he got our backs in a lot of bullshit times and because we've been ridiculously lucky.

If he wants to reward us for it, cool, but theres no expectation here

Ok that's fair. I still think that neutralizing the energy would be safer though. I think tossing energy up to a god could have bad consequences. but then again that could be said for all of the options.

Yeah, I'll be ecstatic if he gives us a cool thing because fuck that'd be cool but I'll be very happy if all we walk away with is a singed hat and the lingering smell of peppercorns for three months.

Granted, if its nuking the belt it probably won't nuke us. On the other tiny wizard lady hand, I'm not sure how Kragg would react to that, probably down to how well Mathilde can smooth talk him(so a second roll later on possibly?)

The belt's rune we will use for that is probably this:

He points to the first rune. "This, as I understand it, is a variation on the Spelleater Rune. When a hostile spell is targeted against you, it will not only counter it but also burn - literally burn - the knowledge of it from the mind of the caster. It will be dormant for twelve hours after each use."

Imagine burning a part of Gork&Mork's mind.

I mean, people have waxed rhapsodic about the potential of converting the lessons of Necromancy in the Liber Mortis into usable Grey Magic power. Imagine what we could do with Necromancy, Grey Magic, and Waaagh energy!

Yeah I mentioned this a few pages back as the Spell Burner Rune.
 
[ ] You are merely a human that has gotten in the middle of forces you cannot begin to understand. Try to survive the energies.
Just standing around and not doing anything sounds pretty unsatisfactory

[ ] You are the justice of Mork, delivering swift death upon the heresy of Only Gork. Try to accept the energies.
Even actual Orcs tend to explode when they do this. Sure Mathilde is explosion resistant but it's still gross greenskin power.

[ ] You are a faithful of Ranald, being in the right place at the right time to unbalance the scales. Try to steal the energies.
Hell yes. Let's perform one of the greatest heists in recent history. Besides we've seen Ranald do stuff like this before with an angry shark god (but we can survive being bitten in half). Also probably the safest option since it gets rid of the energy by giving it to someone who can handle it and gets us some divine backup doing so.

[ ] You are a Magister of the Grey Order, and follow the traditions laid down by Teclis and Magnus the Pious. Try to ground the energies.
Another pretty good option. Mathilde has been a Grey Wizard for around 18 years now so relying on her training (and her potent artifacts to back her up) makes a lot of sense.

[ ] You are Dwarf-friend and you bear upon your person a masterpiece developed by the oldest and wisest Runepriest of the Karaz Ankor. Try to destroy the energies.
Relying on our fancy artifact to just straight up set the energy on fire or something. I see no way this could possibly go wrong.

All these options please me.
 
If we want to bring the Liber Mortis into this Ranald is probably our best bet. Necromancy was built on the (literal) bones of Nehekaran Theurrgy. With the ear of a god and a skill for Ulgu we could conceivably reverse-engineer such a lore, call it the Lore of Stolen Shadows if you will.

Is it? That's interesting, I'm still a little new when it comes to specific mechanics/lore like that in warhammer fantasy.

you can see it in several updates, where mathilde makes use of raw iron as a conductor to earth magical energies. Because apparently the conductive properties of copper have not yet been discovered.

While I totally get the desire to steal power with the help of best!God, we are a wizard, and really shouldn't try to eat an energy field larger than our head. Let's ground it and pray.

It may not be that so much as a case of Warhammer drawing on the whole idea of Iron being host to the mundane, like Fae being burned by cold iron and it warding away their magicks. So its a specific quality of iron in that case, though I'm genuinely not sure.
