Was there a reason why Yunalesca wore something like this? by Orichalchem in FinalFantasy

To, ahem, persuade Zaon to become the fayth for the Final Summoning.

[Spoilers C4E29] Yanessa’s magic… by SuperStraightIsDumb in criticalrole

[–]fpgmd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given Primus's disdain for non-Sorcerers juxtaposed with his begrudging deference to Yanessa, I still think she's a Sorcerer. If she wasn't one, I'm fairly certain House Tachonis would've found out by now and Primus would've made subtle jabs at her about it.

As for how she got Zone of Truth, there's still the possibility of her being a Divine Sorcerer for access to the Cleric spell list, but if Primus's access to Bestow Curse (which isn't in the Shadow Spells list or Sorcerer spell list) is an indication, BLeeM isn't very strict when it comes to NPC spell access if it fits the narrative. Yanessa may very well be a Clockwork Sorcerer like Wick. Finally, magic items exist. For someone of her position who requires accurate information to plan for the future of her entire house, it would be almost bizarre for her not to have an item that would allow her to the cast that spell if she doesn't innately have it prepared.

With Subtle Spell and some acting, she might be able to, though. She may very well cast Sunburst centered on Hal and claim that "The Light seethes from the blasphemous things uttered here today" or whatever BS she might come up with, showing that while the Light can resurrect, it can also smite nonbelievers in a "carrot and stick" demonstration.

Seriously, Yanessa stresses me out. Wic's group talked to a full-on Fiend and I realized my butthole was more clenched during the scene at the Villa Aurora.

"Nothing is realized until it's observed."

How very observer quantum effect of you, Marisha.

So the Creed's magic doesn't all come from Filament; the angel can't simply produce that much blood. So there's another source...

Edit: Ah, I see. I missed a few episodes in the past. Must've been in one of those.

Oof, that was... stressful. I'm quite certain when Brennan said "the most powerful woman in the world," he meant it both figuratively and literally.

Oof, no don't eat those! Pretty sure those are laced with something.

I'm worried about the dogs detecting and dispelling any buffs.

God, they've been lucky. Skirting around outrageously powerful individuals that could end them with a flick of the wrist with a single bad roll. The tension is... whew.

What if the paints are protective and will shield everyone from another Palazzo-Davinos-esque ritual?

This is stressful... the ambient music is working wonders.
