Questionable Questing

How dinner and update link I sent the new one has Seamus making a guy bleed from the throat

I am back. Had some grilled cheese, also cooked some for my aunt and then helped settle the dogs in. Feed them, take them out, that kind of stuff. They should be good for the rest of the night now.

So what were we talking about again? Lol. I kind of got a little lost in the links and references.

Okay. So the update before the one I just read a little while ago. What are you wondering about this one? Just a general review or any character specific stuff?

General review and what you think of Seamus edge here and is the character interaction more entertaining then the magic talk of the latest update?

Just finished, the drunk guy was an asshole and I was shocked nobody interfered sooner. If for nothing else it was obvious he was squaring up for a fight that very easily could've escalated and the wedding was literally tomorrow. lol. But he did suffer for it. Not only got the shit kicked out of him, publically humiliated in front of everyone, but he called a very popular queen a whore.

Not going to have a fun time. Probably cost him a lot of honor and respect with that move. He probably spent a lot of his Invested too, keeping himself from dying. Don't know how that all works or how expensive that could be. But I stand by it. Hurrik would've probably killed the guy, but then again Hurrik had a lot of character growth behind him and had move on from his daddy issues a lot.

It kind of feels like Seamus is right at the beginning of his daddy issues character arc.

Oh he avoided calling her one. Stopped himself from saying it and getting fedual justice done to him

You can't spend Investment. Its a investing of the spirits influence into you. You don't have a limited amount you run out of. Hurik also wasn't just off a kingdoms ruining war where his dad commited magical war crimes. I'll note what you said for edge.

That is a fun part of characters I like to play with but it has to be done in a way that feels good to the readers. Do it willy nilly and its bad, doesn't add to the story. Pushing Seamus to the breaking point or having a moment where honor agrees he should crush someone will be a goal now.

He said enough that people know what he meant. But he didn't technically, so he'll probably get a stern talking too from his leige in terms of punishment, but the loss of respect is going to be the real bitch.

So if you can't spend investment, what's the limit of how much spirits will give you?

Investment is spirits like you. Cheer you on. They support your skills and physical talents or your memorable ability. A sport teams cheer does not equal the Deep Magic where spirits alter the world around you

So what's the maximum? Say all the spirits are cheering you on because you're about to kill some evil Lovecraftian existential threat to them and you're their perfect champion? They're giving you everything they got.

Heroes don't get big magic. That do be how it works

Less figuring out big magic and more how it all scales. Just how much of a difference between a high end and low end Investment users is there.

To give a more complex explanation. Investment is limited by the Spirits liking someone can only bless them. Blessings without Costs don't have power behind them. A Invested is a hero of the spirits, given a greater role for their deeds. That doesn't equal the powers High Sorcery gives with greater costs

So with high sorcery what's the max sacrifice or cost you could give for a spell? I'm guessing there's plenty of suicide spells that are probably pretty powerful. But I'm guessing giving your ability to walk, slavery to something, or endless pain for a couple decades all would be pretty powerful too. So I guess I'm asking how all that's ranked and divided?
