    Von Graft can steal Geomantic prowess, and Aeromancy to a certain degree. The only thing he can’t steal is Hydromancy, which is too closely linked to the self/identity to be held by someone other than the originator of that “self”. Thats likely the only reason why the Mad Monk is alive - Von...

    Gonna take a wild stab in the dark as to why they need to use human bodies and guess that it’s necessary to “attune” stuff from the world von graft is using closer to Gaia, under the assumption that for a “universal” magic like geomancy to function partially, as opposed to the normal binary...

    Ooh, I wonder where Henri got a modern lighter. Phobos perhaps?

    Phobos VII [Complete]

    Can Von Graft assimilate Aeromancy to a certain degree? If I recall correctly, I think a comment was made to that effect at one point, I’m just surprised he hasn’t encouraged aeromantic lore to a certain degree if it’s the case. If he has trouble with hydromancy, or simply an intense...

    So THERE is our hydromancer. At least a cut rate one, it seems.

    Given that we know Von Graft’s motivation is some sort of weird “I’ll train you up to assimilate you for power”, IIRC, it’s possible that Von Graft deliberately drips Elixirs “illegally” into the economy to try and sniff out the superior magical talents.

    Hmm, the way that exchange about Eponine’s magic is phrased, it makes elixirs sound more like an enabler than anything like bottled spells. After all, she’s says “I’ve got to get another elixir”, but that helping people go unnoticed is “her thing”, so it sounds like the specific elixir doesn’t...

    Phobos VII [Complete]

    Honestly, what puzzles me is that Ludo was convinced that Stas had drunk an elixir to do the reflection: while I can understand maybe simply not knowing about aeromancy, not knowing of hydromancy should be impossible, which suggests one of two things: either A) the elixirs also are used to...

    Phobos VII [Complete]

    If I recall correctly, back when Aeromancy courses were going on, geomancy was nebulously defined as possibly “the inherent aeromancy of all entities within Gaia” (obviously rejected due to divisional politics). Is Von Graft’s arena world somewhat separated from Gaia, either by design or nature...

    Contraptions Technically correct, but I think you meant Arena, not area. Fanfare Either Arena or Area First bit, you’ve got the tenses off, think you meant “cycled” or “was (mentally) cycling”. Second, looks like there’s a missing word, maybe “tight”? The

    Nitpicky bull crap here, but technically the offical title was “Princeps Civitatis”, which meant “First Citizen”. Princeps alone really does just translate as “FIRST”, for all your memetic needs. Princeps was the unofficial, but commonly used title. President vs President of the United States...

    Phobos VII [Complete]

    In the old Roman sense, Princeps had nothing to do with prince, it was their word for king, literally meaning either “First” or “Chief”/“Leader”. The Emperors from Augustus to Diocletian used it as their unofficial title. Originally it was the senate head, so when the emperors started to take...

    Now I’m wondering wether the mask makes its way off of Earth, or our Protagonist is going to escape Von Graft’s Mat farm, and acquire the Phobos mask on Earth.

    Probably going to get very little traffic on this if you don’t mention it in one of your other threads, very few people pay attention to the SFW side of the site, especially the creative writing section, given that the site own name is “questionable” “questing”. Still not sure how the Phobos...
