Great work everyone!

And remember, if you find spell sickness kicking in, drink plenty of fluids, rest and please do not operate heavy machinery.

How would a newbie identify symptoms of spell sickness? :grimacing:

It affects everyone differently. I’ve never personally experienced it, but headache, fatigue, nausea, body aches, drowsiness are all pretty common symptoms I’ve heard reported around here.

Ah good to know. Can there be a long delay before it hits you? Maybe I’ll be able to sleep through it…

Some people don’t get it at all. I joke that I’m so exhausted from my job and three young kids (each 5 years old and under) all the time that I just can’t tell whether I have spell sickness or not, because I pretty much always feel this way.

With the heat and various other ailments I was already suffering, I have to doubt I’d notice one more thing… Though if I do I’ll be sure to take care of myself (even better than I already am! I’ll even take a break from packing if I need to) and hopefully it’ll be not too bad for everyone else too! Something so big is definitely going to cost something, that’s only fair.

I’ve definitely noticed. My entire body is sore. I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck. Hopefully it was worth it.

Hm… Anyone seeing anything in their journals? Keeping mine close just in case, and it’s so tempting to check it like every 2 mins… Should we tell Eaves we’ve tried the thing too?

Be patient, I feel like we’ll know when to open them… (though the temptation is there for me too omg) I think telling Eaves is a good idea! It’ll be good to check in on their side too, see if anything is changing.

I agree with @SabineBean . Something like this might take some time to fully kick in. I’d rather not rush it and miss something important.

So… Anyone want to try messaging Eaves? Not feeling too great last few days, think the spell sickness caught up to me finally, so I’m not really in a place to do it.

I’d be available to do it in a few hours, but of course if anyone else would like to give it a try that’d be good too!

I think you might as well, since we know that you’ve been able to get a message to him before.

Alright! Well, I’ll give it a go now then if there’s no qualms? I’ll basically mention that we’ve done the spell and are now waiting, all journals are still unopened and we’ve not yet noticed any change except for the spell sickness to confirm that we’ve worked magiq. Does that sound fine, or is there more to add?

10 Likes

That sounds good to me.

and here’s a screenprint just to make sure we’ve got it if it disappears! (Which it hopefully will)

EDIT: I don’t know how to work this device properly so a full-screen shot is all I know how to take haha

I think Eaves has to reach out to us, then we reply. Once that happens, it closes a ā€œcircuitā€ (so-to-speak) and both messages vanish.

Well, it was worth a try anyway! But yeah, it clearly hasn’t disappeared off yet, so you may be right.
