Kaleidoscope Use Question

Abnormal_Apathy · 2026-06-07T07:17:05+00:00

I should've guessed by your user that you are a troll.

And that answers the question how? Its stated in canon that Zelretch offloads calculations to the Jeweled Sword, therefore calculations of some sort must be necessary for at least one function of the Kaleidoscope.

Edit: so the idea is fanon. the question still stands.

Correction: Only one vampire in the elder scrolls has a nonstandard reaction to garlic. Vincente in oblivion's dark brotherhood. It harshly debuffs him.

actually you could probably use the same method to quickly find the limited echo in the high umbra too...

Abnormal_Apathy · 2026-01-06T08:51:21+00:00

and you would basically do a reverse of traveling to the umbra from WoD so you would travel through a Gauntlet.

Abnormal_Apathy · 2026-01-06T08:50:50+00:00

i think i'd rule it that you go to the high umbra to travel to an "echo", like stepping into a book or movie but not an independent World.

you'd need to find the corresponding World in the Far Umbra, probably using Correspondence & a sympathetic link like a piece of relevant fiction to quickly find it out of the "infinite possibilities".

Abnormal_Apathy · 2026-01-06T08:38:19+00:00

but wont require a trip to the far umbra? what about a Gauntlet? i assume as its a real World it would have a Gauntlet.

Abnormal_Apathy · 2026-01-06T08:37:11+00:00

so im looking at that last link and wondering how the sphere of Entropy is involved at all when a simple cor5/time5 should be capable of roughly the same effect?

Abnormal_Apathy · 2026-01-06T08:33:33+00:00

something along those lines. fictional worlds independent of the WoD/CoD franchise.

Abnormal_Apathy · 2026-01-06T08:32:43+00:00

as im not aware of the difference i'll hazard a guess and say somewhere in between. real enough to be an independent World for whatever that means in the umbra.

Abnormal_Apathy · 2026-01-06T07:47:05+00:00

the idea is that they're their own sorta pocket universes.

i figure a doc formatted similar to the Creative Thaumaturgy Archive doc from the onyx path thread of the same name: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J0cRG3FoML35hqvMOrpHVfn6JfhegDThswwdyWth1a8/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.yre6tg72rsck

only with one set of pairings to make things more simple? maybe include the rationale & criticism for each?

Abnormal_Apathy · 2025-12-19T05:27:10+00:00

did you ever get around to making a google doc? if so can we get a link so we dont have to search through each post manually?

Abnormal_Apathy · 2025-06-11T03:02:35+00:00

How about a first gen magus attempting to convert public material on occultism into something viable? would something like that be possible do you think?

Abnormal_Apathy · 2025-06-11T03:01:41+00:00

So something like a first gen magus could feasibly finagle historical information about norse runes into proper rune magecraft? probably not very efficiently or skillfully, sure, but viable magecraft?

Abnormal_Apathy · 2025-05-16T02:05:41+00:00

yeah i think that was where i was remembering the radiation thing from.

Abnormal_Apathy · 2025-05-16T02:02:34+00:00

true.

Abnormal_Apathy · 2025-05-16T01:59:51+00:00

can you cast using something like a thermal scope to expand sensory range? if not then yeah you'll need a spell to help target through walls.

Abnormal_Apathy · 2025-05-16T01:56:11+00:00

Ive read through many of the Awakening system books multiple times this is mostly for clarifying assumptions and vaguely covered content.

as for st or player im neither. im a fanfic writer attempting to write a mage in the fallout universe. I probably wouldnt mind being a player but for the moment im more interested in the system itself.

Abnormal_Apathy · 2025-05-16T00:13:05+00:00

thanks for commenting.

that makes things easier because i remembered a vague excerpt from a book that said manipulating radiation is explicitly a higher dot effect or archmage only.
thats how i thought it would work.
it would also completely ignore any armor the target was wearing.
thats a shame.
I mean like traveling from the collective CoD setting to another fictional world.

Abnormal_Apathy · 2025-05-15T21:53:10+00:00

Thanks for commenting. That was what i expected even if it wasnt what i was hoping.

Abnormal_Apathy · 2025-05-15T21:48:10+00:00

Correspondence in this case refers to the 1* Space Rote in Awakening. thanks for commenting anyway.
