In a Lodda Da Vidda Baby?

This 'ghosting' is an entirely new application of magic. They are using it now to spy and translocate through solid objects, but could it also be used with offensive magic to go through shields? From Porvus' words, Lodda has been transformed into something else, presumably using the technology of the ancients and is now pursuing goals which threaten the entire world and even the evil hearted Porvus is worried enough to join with their enemies. Now this is a twist I didn't see coming. Like Snave says, you can't trust Porvus. I feel only Jamie should be seen in this meeting. Lodda was described by other mages as a wraith. What has he become and what additional powers has he gained? It's odd Lauten made no mention of this.

For a variety of reasons. You've never had a headache until you've had a nitro headache.

I've been told I have a great imagination, but it fails me to entertain delaying a read so long.

You need to read The Case of the Short, Short Prince which is ongoing now.

You aren't being too punderous for me.

Without it, it would be no pun at all.

We'll find something else.

I doubt we could identify a switchgear which could handle this amount of power flawlessly for four thousand years.

There is likely a way to cut power off, but it would be in a room where they would be quickly detected, they can't yet read the language, and the power could be restored as quickly as it was cut. They would have to damage something to achieve a result and it probably couldn't be fixed.

I think it compares better to the unexpected air attack on Tokyo.

The wolf clans are more numerous than we knew and that they live in structures created for them by the ancients is another sign they were allies long ago. We are at Methuwan, but we still have a long way to go. This will not be resolved easily. I sense some twists and turns ahead. The enemy may not have detected them, but they are expecting them and surely they know about the battle at the other city by now.

I think the maypole became the didpole.

I called someone yesterday, "Hey, you remember Coot?" Of course they did. They also agreed he reminded them of Gollum to an uncanny degree.

I suspect this is only the first of many missions Thorvil will send our group out on. They are too valuable a resource to just sit around. Snave himself said he would no longer be content to always stand by the shop door.

agnosia - Word of the Day - Sat Jul 22, 2023
drpaladin commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
Agnosia and agnostic derive from the same Greek word for lack of knowledge, ignorance. -
Right now they are all focused on the threat and immediate future as they should be. Jamie and Garvin have vague notions of returning to their quiet life at the shop. Jamie, being the humble and unassuming boy he is, will very likely do just that, even though he has become the Master Mage of all Mages in ten or so days. Much of what he's learned and done will need to remain a secret.

Perhaps he saw it before he was placed in the gargoyle. I'm guessing the play is fairly old.

If magic completes as a sympathetic and cooperative process between energy bundles, no wonder it takes so much more power to translocate a whole group. It's in getting a big enough wave generated at each end. If they can create a blanket to muffle the magic so there is no wave, it would negate magic. The big scary is the ancients seemed knowledgeable as to how magic works. How much do Porvus and Lodda know? This could be the key to victory or defeat. I hope this is something the Oracle couldn't answer.

If you're wondering about it, it means it's working.

The last I saw Lulu was a backside view of large, naked cheeks quivering like Jello, retreating into the woods.

I knew a guy named Coot. I never heard him called anything else. He was already old when I first knew him. He was a small guy who talked fast and looked an awful lot like Gollum.

I think this kind of Restoration would best be served by something low key and private, with celebrations and princely rewards later.
