Should we assign them each to a guild? Or hold off on them for now? Or let the guilds decide for themselves?
So, who would be able to do a live ritual?
And who would be willing to design a symbol or sigil to tie Marty and Whistler, and the adepts to our spell? Itād have to be simple, in case they have to replicate it.
Must is such a mundane term. Nothing is a āmustā. ITās more of a āproven practice that worksā. But creativity and imagination seem to always beat out rules.
Iām of the same mind, Dey. I think we need to figure out:
A) What are we trying to do, specifically
B) Who are we trying to affect
C) What are the steps we need to take to make this happen
D) What are the risks and how can we minimize them
Iām concerned if we dilute this into many different spells with many different intentions, we wonāt have the strength to do all of them. The strongest, most complex spells weāve seen so far all had specific goals behind them, even if it took several steps to reach those goals. I feel like weāre safer off following in those footsteps, so to speak.
6 aspects, 6 guilds?
Maybe the spell can have six specific goals, to go along with the elements and guilds.
āTo protect, to hide, to misdirect, to guide, to teach, to confideā
Something like that
Iām with @Revenir. Keep it simple (I canāt believe Iām calling this simple). Focus on the core of what weāre trying to do with a specific goal.
We may have more success with focused teams carrying out different spells, like Iād mentioned in the other, related thread.
If you give me a time and place, Iām on board for a live ritual.
I mean, I could design a symbol to use as a sigil, but would maybe need more direction as to what we want it to look like.
Iād be happy to help design the sigil, since Iāve done similar things in the past.
I think that depends on how weād intend to carry it out. It may be more effective to do it as a live group, and not many folks would be able to participate at any given time, because weāre spread out.
Just one more decision to make.
I like @Mordiscasā idea.
Please take my thoughts as thoughts, not guidelines. The ideas youāre all coming up with seem as good if not better than what weāve done before.
If we had a ton of time to experiment I think we could put some great names to shame.
I just took a step back and re-considered this:
We could cast a spell that ātargetsā all of the KS employees, via the screens Whistler mentions in his emails to Marty, distracting or otherwise clouding them.
Or, we could cast a spell on the two rescuers and 3-4 rescuees (Aether, Portencia, Climber +/- Kendrick, juryās still out) to hide them from the KS employees.
These are basically the same thing, looked at from different prespectives. I recant my previous suggestions; we can probably just choose one.
My bad. Just trying to reiterate and get my head around it all.
Maybe we can design the sigil with Norse or alchemical runes
Edit:typo
Thatās a fantastic idea. I see a few there that might work beautifully.
I think it would be very easy to use the connectivity of the computer systems to our advantage. Targeting their server with a distraction spell, forcing them to focus on their computers - for those that are near computers - may be a good idea.
Whistler said that thereās a screen that when alerted everyone goes to and watch, could we make a video with the spell as a subliminal message?? Flash the spell to the workers every 4 seconds or so??
If you know how to do that, it might work. We can use different runes and symbolism for focus and distraction and protection in the video. Loop it for 10 minutes.
