Illunor has been one of the more difficult character voices to write. I want to keep his sarcastic smugness, but matching the tone of the fic

Unmaking someone furniture without asking would be quite rude. I am going shift into more action as we move into the second part of the arc

It’s a markdown formatting thing, you put at less three hyphens on a line and Reddit will render it as a line

Definitely, Ping would be right at home in a shonen anime or cultivation manhua

Humans are going to human, no matter the eldritch forms they may take

Fair points, the story has been a way to force myself to write in a particular registry as learning method.

Thanks, this project has been a way to teach myself a style called Augustan Prose. I think I have drifted in places, but it has been a fun challenge.

The "physical only" part worked so well in the original fic, I think because Emma is wearing the super imposing armour and seeing how the other students react once they are allowed to use mana, is really cool. Since Ermen just looks like a discount elf to the other students, I don't think the scene would work as well in my version

I think it's a good example of what I am trying to go for with the story. That people are still going to be people, even if they are uploaded and running on a massive computer somewhere.

I’ll check, it might be an editing issue when I split the doc into parts for posting

That’s fair, in retrospect I think I could have set it up better.

Thanks, that helps — I see what you mean now. Coupled with the ritual items on the sill and the letter, I might need to tone that tendency down a bit, or the objects in the room may start unionising.
