I do not think Azyr lightning has anything to do with the actual weather, you just pull magic out of the magic dimension and spit it out as electricity.

I think Rafin means that natural lightning storms wouldn't hit you, not Azyr lightning.
Why would a gyro care about lightning storms though, it is a natural Faraday Cage. Now the winds that come with such storms, those could easily kill it.

Depends on how the enchantment works, cause 100 yards isn't a lot even on foot, let alone while flying.
If it's a fire and forget thing, where it only activates for a second and you can only usually it a few times a day ... that's not enough to make a storm too dangerous to fly in safe. If it's got a lengthy activation, where you activate it and it stays active for an hour or more ... maybe? Really depends on the details there,
Permanent activation, where there's just never clouds around it, yeah, that would help with dangerous storms ... but I feel like that's probably unlikely. At least, it's best case scenario and I wouldn't assume it.

I mean, I suppose that you could use the spell on an overcast or rainy day as a subtler sort of flare to signal your location to other people.

My primary goal was a sort of enchantment that would allow the gyrocopter to be able to fly in any sort of weather, but I don't believe there are any Azyr spells that really allow for that. The closest thing is the clear clouds/overcast sky spell, and as pointed out above, the only way it could do that is if it was near permanently active, which is probably not possible unless we get an astounding success.

Aviation isn't my forte either. Despite actually having steered a plane once.
Honestly I think it is going to be a while before we will have the AP to windherd the Gyro. The next turn will be the first in elfland and we want to make a good showing of it. That would mean sink as many actions as we can into into the job.
Thus continuing the trend of spending all our AP on the job vs our backlog.
Why do we have a backlog again? Oh right.
Every LM worth the name has a backlog, that is kind of the nature of the job , and let's not get into what say Kragg's backlog must look like.

I mean, out of the game, it's 99.9% likely to be an acorn from the Oak of Ages, and there is probably a very, murderously, angry band of Asrai (the crazy wood elves) running around looking (with magic senses) for it right this moment....
but yes, we should ask Laurelorn to look at it. (tho out of character they might treat it the same way the grey college treats mummy gold.)

If they do, then at least we get a possible murderous band of asrai off our back, so that's a win.
did you quote the wrong post? I didn't mention anything about the backlog, but Noxeng did.
Indeed I did, fixed now.

Kragg had retired from doing things other than his backlog until he came to k8p
That's the real reason to pursue immortality (irl and in game)... can't leave anything unfinished!
I'm pretty sure that 'can't leave anything unfinished' is the source of Kragg's immortality.

On a more depressing note, I wouldn't be surprised if Borek is already dead by now for the same reason...
Now I'm wondering what's on Ranald's backlog, and if he's anywhere near finished yet.

Ranald doesn't have a backlog, Ranald adds things to other peoples backlogs for fun.

But yeah, it's kind of a mixed blessing trying to worldbuild around that. Not a whole lot contradicting you, but also not a whole lot supporting your efforts either.
Illusion to silence the vehicle, help with the whole 'black helicopters' thing? Fly, as a backup system?

Diestros do have the neat world building detail of all being maths nerds because the founder of the school was a maths nerd who thought that meditating on maths through swordplay was a route to enlightenment. (source: The 2e Career Conpendium)

Plus, plenty of real-world treatises on fencing by famous masters did tend to have a great deal of focus on the study of trigonometry, geometry, biology and the mechanics of the human form. Since, well, knowing how to place yourself in a mechanically superior position so that you can control your opponent's blade with relative ease is quite advantageous in a fight. Probably also a reference to that.

FTFY. No seriously, I'm pretty sure this is the stated reason why they don't ever seem to die of old age.
