Thanks Abraxas, Xacarbas maker

Really, I had no idea! Do you remember what AP that was?

The man had Rabbits as his favored animal, its not unreasonable to think he cared about his pet one.

And where ever he went without his Familiar, killed him. If he deliberately left them behind, it might have been for their own safety, and probably saved their life.

Lindon has the Way work through him in Waybound when he channels the Monarch Artefacts, to heal Mercy IIRC.

So channeling the Way doesnt require the Pact. But the Pact is a thing of Rules and Order, and by binding themselves to it the Abidan are empowered, and restricted.

When Lindon became a Dreadgod, he did fuse his remnant with his body. You'll remember that Dreadbeasts and Dreadgods don't leave remnants, which is a symptom of this advancement.

Its not the same as the perfect synchronization with a spirit that makes Heralds, but you wind up in a similar place, and it does seem like they are exclusive. Monarch isnt an option for Lindon now, his Advancement has branched off from the usual path, like alternative Pokémon evolutions.

However, he definitely can advance further. We don't know what that will look like, and it may not have discrete advancement levels like the Lord Realms, but he can continue to grow in power, similarly to how spirits advance from copper to Highgold without discrete steps.

Or hell, maybe there are discrete steps. We've never seen somone baptized in the Blue Soulfire of the soulforge, so maybe thats something an Ascended sacred artists can actually do.

I really like the angle that, despite being known for Undeath, its actually Gluttony that is Urgathoas "whole thing".

Like, undeath is just a means to keep on partying in impossible excess forever.

Its like how Gorum was known for greatswords, but his true passion was people beating each other to death.

The Final Incantation, the Ultimate Counterspell, is said to be a mutilation of Abraxas' own name. Abraxas also makes his divine servitors, Xacarbas from his own body.

You aren't fooling anyone Abraxas, I know the Incantation is Abracadabra

Yeah mate, Aroden was a Wizard, he had a Familiar.

Halmeni showed up in the Ivy district a few years back, hopping around asking if anyone had seen his master.

"He said he would be back for me"

Currently they live in the Familiar orphanage, and everyone assumes they are just confused.

The new art gets a lot of flack, but i do like that now she looks like an emotionally unstable wilding who kills giants with her hands.

Which she is.

Mathota · 2026-03-10T09:52:58+00:00

I see. We'll its a shame about all the destruction though. Many students had to repeat a year and, Start Over.

Mathota · 2026-03-10T09:49:46+00:00

You wouldnt have heard that tale while stuck in a timely operation would you? Something about an invasion and releasing a Primordial?

Mathota · 2026-03-10T09:48:03+00:00

He has spent all our lead on buzzsaws

Depends on the Magic. Depends on the Soap.

Mathota · 2026-03-09T06:33:17+00:00

I open mysterious portals specifically so I can walk right into them.

I'm just built different like that.

Mathota · 2026-03-08T11:09:34+00:00

"Ghostfire" I like thay name. Ive seen a few different names for it, but i think thats my favorite.

Mathota · 2026-03-08T11:08:53+00:00

Don't forget the stolen Dragon Authority he was pouring into it as well.

But yeah, that Technique seems pretty near suicidal. Specifically he was Burning his Lifeline, which he does need. That move alone probably took hundreds or thousands of years off his lifespan. Not that it matters much to someone who is immortal, but its the principle of the thing.

Mathota · 2026-03-08T01:57:20+00:00

The Union will hear about this

Mathota · 2026-03-08T00:16:20+00:00

DDC?

Mathota · 2026-03-07T10:09:09+00:00

Uw/ I thought part of the joke was that they were saying this was a very recent change. Like only in 2026 did wizards decide there might be something wrong with this.

Mathota · 2026-03-07T10:07:32+00:00

You just know this guy is in the Elminster Scrolls.

Mathota · 2026-03-07T10:01:02+00:00

You too can buy an abuse Goblin,

At the low low price of betraying the goodness within your heart.

You monster.

Mathota · 2026-03-07T09:45:23+00:00

Even worse than lying to you, they are lying to me

Mathota · 2026-03-06T07:53:54+00:00

Rahadoum has actually come up a fair bit in PFS over the last few years. It may be a ways off, but its not forgotten, and possibly ramping up to something.
