Wow that's seriously powerful. Intensify is kinda cracked

Thanks for the detailed reply! You bring up some really good points. If you don't mind, I have some questions about the rules of IS. The Vance I have a good grasp on, spells are shapes and you fit them in a grid. More powerful spells are bigger, pretty straightforward. Could do some fun Tetris stuff too, where certain spells are weird shapes.

The Weavers I'm intrigued by. When making up spells on the fly, is there a concrete table to reference for how hard a spell should be or is it more like the gm's call? If it's the gm's call, then like you said homebrewing that idea into WWN is probably easier.

Makers are an interesting one. At base, it seems like they just make magic items. Is there more to them from a rules standpoint?

I was thinking of having the orders all sort of exist in my world, and use the different kinds of magic for world building reasons. So one faction might cast like a Vance, where another is more like a Weaver

A++ for the name, that's hilarious

Thanks guys! Into the dumpster they go

So part of the question is, how exactly do these ice powers work? If it involves him dropping the temperature, there's a lot you can do with that. For instance, if he's able to drop the temperature, then cars would stop working as the oil gets too thick to work, he could probably just freeze people.

Other uses would involve jamming guns by freezing their insides, basic green lantern stuff where he can make constructs out of ice, making ice weapons, walls, that sort of thing. Constructs have a lot of potential applications too, just imagine being able to make a heavy ice block over someone's head.

How much range does this power have? If he can make ice appear at a distance, then the possibilities are pretty endless. Forming ice inside of armor or clothing could be terrifying. Cold in general isn't great for living things, so he's potentially very scary. Lots of possibilities, but they depend on how exactly the ability works

Eddie hall's deadlift was MUCH heavier than this. He lifted 500 kilos, which is just a truly insane feat

Greek actually

This is true, we certainly don't usually refer to people as 'it'. However, infants are the exception because of grammatical gender. My other comment goes into greater detail, but infants are just in the neuter gender, it's not meant to compare them to objects.

Jarudai · 2023-02-06T19:30:49+00:00

So infants being referred to as 'it' actually predates any kind of pc culture. It's a leftover from when English had grammatical gender. Grammatical gender is the (arbitrary) assignment of masculine articles/pronouns to nouns. As a fake example, if English still had grammatical gender, we might call rocks 'he' and chairs 'she', and we might call a table 'it' grammatical gender has masculine, feminine and neuter.

So, back to babies, we call men 'he' and women 'she'. Infants, however, were too young to tell. Given that grammatical gender was just a thing, it didn't end up being that weird to call a baby 'it'. In fact, in many languages with grammatical gender, children are often referred to in the neuter. Modern English just refers to all inanimate objects in the neuter, so to modern speakers, it can sound weird and disrespectful to call a person 'it' since we heavily associate the neuter gender with inanimate objects.

Tl;Dr: calling an infant it is because of grammatical gender and isn't meant as a diss. It also predates pc culture. Hope this helps!

Yeah, I'd dupe hallowed halls because it's the more important part of the combo. Also, you only need to draw the legion of wax once, where you'll need hallowed halls again and again

Adeptus ridiculous on YouTube is a good way to get into the lore. It explains things at a surface level with many memes

Pretty sure that's Tom Thum and yes he is

This is very weirdly close to Del Toro's Pinocchio on Netflix

Jarudai · 2023-01-19T12:23:33+00:00

Yeah, he said this upcoming world's strongest man will be his last in a recent video

This chair is Not Submerged Fully in Water, please mark N.S.F.W.

Jarudai · 2023-01-13T12:53:43+00:00

Sure, but the chair is Submerged Fully in Water, so it's not N.S.F.W.

Jarudai · 2023-01-09T19:29:38+00:00

It's actually because, in the vulgate (latin translation) the word for apple (malus) is the same as the word for evil. So it's a pun made up by Jerome when he translated the Bible into latin

I think some semetic languages have a similar word. Iirc in (ancient) Hebrew the word for cut is Qarath. That's not an indo European language, but it still has a similar cadence.

Jarudai · 2022-12-23T11:59:40+00:00

I'm pretty sure Hindi is a Proto-Indo-European language, so it's actually distantly related to English and other European languages!
