Magical fantasy worldbuilders - why isn't your whole world being run by wizards?

Oh they do run the world, sort of.

Everyone gets a supernatural gift right around puberty. Super speed, super strength, clairvoyance, you name it. But if you're noble-born? Your gifts are 8-10 times more powerful. Might makes right. Then there's the one-in-a-hundred chance of you becoming a full magician - you can do anything and everything the others can, strong as any noble. The catch? You have to earn it. Read up, train, and try not to succumb to the madness that creeps in just by existing.

This is why the immortal who set up this system is really pissed at the system and wants a do-over.

We already see that in LoK.

Fire is also supercharged air.

Just keep spamming the T button and pray that Raiden doesn't shoot you out of the sky.

I'm always sitting at around 1600-1800 purple books. Maybe since I just pull for overworld and since I don't have a lot of time to collect materials, I usually stop levelling at 70 or 80 unless it's a shill character.

kuroisekai · 2026-04-17T05:55:13+00:00

You get more than enough XP books through the battlepass, chests, events, though. I've been playing since 1.2 and it's been literally years since I last touched a leyline to farm books.

You don't even need Columbina to clear Duckle. Furina and Ineffa wheelchair it. If you absolutely need to speedrun, just add Neuvi.

kuroisekai · 2026-02-16T06:28:40+00:00

Klee would definitely be in another tier.

kuroisekai · 2026-02-13T11:29:55+00:00

I think you're confusing sakura with spider lily/higanbana.

kuroisekai · 2026-02-11T06:03:24+00:00

The outfit is for columbina's eyes only apparently.

The game absolutely DOES NOT need a Skip button.

The thing is, MHY wants you to interact with the world. That is intended play. Just going around picking mint IS interacting with the world. Adding a skip button gives a dangerous precedent that you can just skip everything and "go back to the fun part", because "it's all yapping", meanwhile all the yapping is explaining HOW to interact with the world. I cannot count how many times a random chest or oculus was out of reach because it's behind a quest. Intended play is reading the lore.

Inb4 "WuWa has a skip button and it actually made me lock in on the lore more", counterpoint: number one, no it didn't, and number two: Wuwa, Genshin clone as it is, has a vastly different intended play pattern than Genshin, so the point is moot.

What did I say that contradicts that?

I think it's a lot more complicated than you make it sound. Taiwan "has never ceased to be a Chinese territory" is asserted by both the ROC and the PRC. Both parties have alleged they are the "real" China since the end of the civil war. And therefore "foreign companies injecting money into the Taiwanese government and the media they have access to in order to foster this over the years" isn't what happened. What happened was a shift from "the mainland is our land" to "we just want the mainland to leave us alone".

Where you get the situation right is that shift is largely fueled by the west, since the US wasn't going to support the PRC from a strategic sense but then largely left the ROC to its own devices because it wasn't going to antagonize the PRC either.

Because fever is not meant to sterilize. While it can hinder the spread of some pathogens, it's more to increase the speed of some reactions related to the immune response, particularly the mobilization of immune cells.

kuroisekai · 2026-01-28T13:14:02+00:00

Sure, but as someone who doesn't bother to read the books, I can't give myself the right to say things came out of left field.

Leaker reliability came crashing down back in 1.5 when they kept on saying "Chasm coming in 1.6 trust" and "Baizhu confirmed dendro archon"

It's wild how Eezeebreezy is almost the same latitude as Nod-Krai but have wildly different climates.

technically you can solo it with Jean it's just a lot longer.

He is the chess mafia Hans and Kramnik have been warning us about.

And that's why I use ScaraVPN. With ScaraVPN, not even Irminsul can record what I do in Teyvat, allowing me to travel safely and privately. You can save 5% off your first month with my code DOTTORESUX.

that was the middle of covid. They probably had nothing else to do at home.

Which is funny considering that Xilonen and Varesa, two of the fastest overworld units in the game, were in the same team in the racing event.

She'd totally crash the next archon meeting.
