You depart the hold once the Captain calls the meal to an end, returning to your quarters for the night. At some point you'll likely be called to keep watch, but for now your time is your own. You resolve to spend that time reading up on what Varistha Sehzade had to say regarding magical theory.

Extracting the sheaf of notes from your cloak, you recline on the surprisingly comfortable bed you've been afforded. It takes you a few moments to separate out the pages you've already read from those that you haven't. It's not a particularly time consuming task, you've only read a handful of the nearly two dozen pages the Varistha has devoted to the topic. You're not looking for anything specific, so you simply begin to read the first unread page in the stack.

The writing is neat and careful, marking this as written fairly recently. All of the Varistha's older notes are written in barely legible chicken scratch. This particular page seems to relate to the nature of ambient vys. It seems to have been written before the Varistha fully realized that vys is a byproduct of the soul, and ambient vys simply the excess vys produced by the souls of living creatures.

The Varistha starts by proclaiming that ambient vys is not a natural phenomena. It is not caused by the position of the moon and stars, it is not a byproduct of geological processes, and it is almost certainly not simply an aspect of the air we breath. He claims that is a produced by something, though he has yet to discover the source. He posits that perhaps the air is filled with living creatures that are either invisible or too small for the eye to perceive, a completely ridiculous notion.

However, he guesses the true source when he suggest that it may also be excess vys which Vatis and other living creatures exude constantly. He also suggest that ambient vys may be caused by spirits of great power passing through an area, as it's well known that very powerful spirits produce truly monstrous amounts of vys. Enough to cause reality to warp and bend around them.

Leaving aside the origin of ambient vys, Varistha Sehzade proposes that ambient vys can be just as useful as the vys stored in one's reserves. Unfortunately, the page ends there. Flipping it over you find that the other side is dominated by a single illustration of a Rhynian generator. Apparently the Varistha had previous encounters with functioning generators and knew something of how they worked. Not surprising, considering his age.

You sort through the stack of papers, separating out all sheets which have any mention of ambient vys. Then you try to sort the selected pages, six in all, into a rough chronology. That done, you pick up where the first page ended. The Varistha claims that ambient vys can be used to power spells, boost the capabilities of enchanted objects, and has interesting properties all its own.

He goes off on a tangent about enchanting after that. Fortunately it's an interesting tangent. Apparently the Rhynians rarely created permanent enchantments. All of their major enchanted objects were powered by ambient vys drawn from generators. They were constantly replenished, and so never expired. Enchantments themselves do not simply 'wear off', in most cases at least. They lie dormant, waiting for their reserves of vys to be restored.

Getting back to the point of the Varistha's writings, he remarks that ambient vys can be used to fuel a spell if one can simply find a way to connect it to their reserves. He compares it to sort of channeling a spell inwards, or sucking ambient vys into oneself. He found that paying close attention to how his body drank in vys whilst meditating helped him to finally figure out how to actively do so, and compared it in some ways to a sort of modified leech spell.

According to the Varistha, this is easiest to do after first Grandmastering an element. One should find an area rich in vys already related to that particular element and attempt to go through the motions of casting a spell of the element they've achieved Grandmastery in without actually channeling vys from their reserves. Instead, they should try to draw ambient vys not into themselves, but into the spell.

He claims that spells cast in this way are very time consuming, often taking several minutes or even hours to cast. They also benefit for more strictly defined rituals, as rituals help to focus the mind on a task. Spells cast from ambient vys are best cast as a sort of team effort, with many vatis working together to draw vys into a single spell. He describes it as much, much safer than casting using the usual method, especially when casting large and complex spells, but overall less useful than the usual method of casing.

Whilst examining a few diagrams the late Varistha drew of Vatis casting spells using ambient vys and a few rituals he cooked up, you hear a knock on your door. You tuck the Varistha's notes into your cloak and rise from your bed, jerking the door open to find a man probably in his early hundreds waiting for you outside. He has the earliest hints of stuble on his upper lip and jawline, but not a true beard.

He jerks a thumb over his shoulder, indicating in a vague sort of way the rest of the ship. “S'your shift on watch, Cap'n's orders.”
(3/4 or 5)

Seems you'll have to read up more on the Varistha's magical theories at a later date, unfortunately. “Very well. When will my watch end, and what exactly does keeping watch entail?”

The man squints at you a moment. “What'cha mean what'sa watch entail? Jus' keep yer eyes an' ears open for what's odd. You'll 'ave watch 'til the half, then you'll give it to Ashok, he's the big guy what's got tattoos, and Kishor, he's the short pirate. they'll keep it 'til dawn.”

Your people divide the night into five segments. It starts with nightfall, which is followed by half-risen, then midnight, then half-fallen, and then dawn. While not precise, it is a convenient way to divide shifts and generally keep time. Judging by the hour, you'll presumably be keeping the watch until the moon has fallen halfway towards the horizon.

You shut your cabin door behind you as you ascend the steps alongside the crewman. You find your companion on this watch will be the wiry, snaggle-toothed fellow who professed his distrust of Vatis. You greet one another but then go your separate ways. You take up position atop the aftcastle while he takes up position at the prow. Naturally, having the better vantage point, much of the responsibility lies on your shoulders to alert the others should you spot anything out of the ordinary.

Your shift on watch is uneventful. You spot nothing unusual over the course of your three or so hour watch. The wind does seem unusually strong, and the waves tend to knock the ship about a bit, but it's nothing that the steersman can't handle. When your shift comes to an end, your snaggle-toothed companions volunteers to alert the others of their shift and you return to your room to get some sleep. After all, a strong wind often indicates a storm on the horizon and you want to be well rested just in case you're called upon to help keep the ship afloat.

(4/5)

Your prediction proves correct, and over the course of the next two days at sea you often find yourself in the lowest reaches of the ship. After all, someone must bail the water out of the bilge and considering your abilities you alone are far better at doing so than an entire team of men with buckets. It's not a taxing job, the storms are not particularly heavy, but it is a boring job.

You find that the life of a sailor is a life of routine. Meals are taken at the same time every day and your duties vary little from day to day. You find that, despite being relatively unused to the task of sailing, you slip into a routine where you spend most of your days working, taking your meals with the crew. At night, when you're not on watch, you usually meditate.

This is for learning the Animate effect. I'm going to go ahead and assume that you spend the 4 vys to make it a success, since you'll start off after the timeskip with full vys anyway.

That means your new max vys pool will be 52

Speaking of metal waifu, i remeber that we can send images through broches, so why don't we send Fulvia the rythian generator illistration?
>>38776198
What methods did we use for metal and nature?
I don't think we voted on that.

>>38775891

Before we go on, I'd like to take a moment to address all the waifu wars we've had recently.

The canon tier list is as follows:
Mortia.
The rest of the female cast is stuck far beneath her, relegated to supporting all the various tiers they would be on were she not a character I have decided to include in this quest.

>>38776235
People seemed interested in doing meditation on forms at the end of last thread, so you'll do that with metal since they sorta/kinda work well together. Really, meditation on forms would do best as a fire meditation but there are no maluses to doing it with either Metal or Earth. The -2 comes from your lack of understanding of the forms themselves.

You'll be trying to sense ocean life and generally extend the range of your extrasensory abilities as well as enhance the clarity of your extrasensory capabilities. I picked this because it offers you the largest bonus, since it nets you a +6 from piggybacking off your understanding of Water magic.

As for animate, you'll just be using the stock method described in the scroll.

I had an idea while thinking about BQ yesterday: Those nature GMs are able to look at something from every plant or natural thing nearby. So in a forest or similar plant-rich area they can get the best 3D-HD-surround-view of cleavage/upskirt/whatever imaginable. Now I know why Karim readily accepted tutoring Mortia.

>>38776683
Of course.

>>38776661
might want to make that 7 if great success does anything, plus we are gonna end up with full vys by the time the time skip is done.

Next time he get's drunk we need to get some hints on his trip.

Remember, the rule of three is in effect. Soma has already been bested twice in the field of namefaggotry, all we need to do is best him one more time for him to give us a wish!

>>38777074
Someone should start working through a list of profane latin words.

Oi playas. Since Karim didn't know anything about the singing vys phenomenon we experienced when we axd him and instead spoke to us about his peer who succumbed to the void I've since developed a hypothesis in need of scrutiny of which the varistha's notes reminded me.

So what we experienced only happened when we'd had our soul deadened or muted or whatever, it was dimmer than it should've been by Mik's account when we got around to taking a gander, 's the point.
According to Sehzade Vys is a soul byproduct and also a sort of poison, and that's why it made sense that it carries properties of the soul, magically responding to the will and concentration of whatever is channeling it capped to their varied and specific limitations as its accrued and cast by any enchantments, vatis or spiritshites. For vatis he said it was basically just getting used to the poison of soul leftovers.

For our experience I think w/happened was that when the soul itself is dimmed, by whatever prolonged effect our proximity to the void caused be it soul attrition or w/e, it let our soul experience Vys differently.
Expanding on that I think the fact that vys is a byproduct of the soul means that any dulled soul isn't giving off as much byproduct of its own and lets it see how vys is w/o a 'full' soul in that way. Like it acted as interference. Shit seems obvious but I'm bad with words and sure I've missed a clarification somewhere. Moreover it wouldn't be an original experience since the void has been around forever and vatis have screwed w/it in the past, there's prob some info out there about it.

Not that this is anything practically usable but I thought it would have interesting implications for how vys may be more mechanically perceivable through enchantments, and that if it sings from the perspective of dulled souls there are probably variable sounds which reveal vys types and how its being manipulated and shit. Just lategame enchantments beyond what our helms already do, basically.

>>38777235
I'm going to be honest, I'm not quite sure what you're getting at.
What experience are you talking about?

>>38777235
O course when I say sounds it's more like "sounds" and shit. All of that experience still could've been an effect of madness tho so I wouldn't bet too much on the extrapolation.

>>38777319
>>38777235
singing vys?

>>38777235
Anyone know what the absolute fuck he is talking about?

>>38777319
I'll get a link in a second. Take a bit to scan the twenty thread range but I could be lucky. brb.

>>38777376
Nope. And i'm not even drunk yet

So is he writing the entire trip right now?

Should I just come back in like 4 hours?

>>38777376
I've not the foggiest idea, and I did lattices guy just fine.

>>38777400
You do know he has a lot of shit to write right?
Soma is a bit lazy, and didn't prewrite the time skip shit.

This. Took a bit. Then there was what Karim told us when we asked him about the void, but that was more recent after we got the house, and our meditation on what caused us to go bonkers. Lots of stuff spread out.

Rereading one anons response to it just reminded me that it also could've just been because of our trial by dinner surgery with Ricky & Friends, though it wouldn't really explain it as anything but shock and void madness.

Not that Anon but I vaguely remember tht during one of our meditations Vys was described as singing to us. I think it was after we got burned going into the portal

>>38777607
didn't we get some kind of weird insight for going into the portal?

>>38777663
Fire insight.

>>38777593
>Slowly the world slips away, until all that remains is the blackness of your trance and the bright, flowing strands of vys. They almost seem to sing to you, humming a subtle tune as they weave through the air. Old friends pleased to see your return. It's quite the surreal experience, meditation isn't usually like this.

Ok, got it now.

>>38777593
I think it would make more sense that since the spirit had leeched itself to our soul Ricky took some of what was us out with that spirit, and since it was fairly violent it was probably worse for us than using permanency because that's more conscientious on our part. Don't know about the singing vys greeting us like an old friend but it's interesting to think about.

>>38777683
and we never really found out which one it was a hidden insight

>>38777715
An insight into... being in a gate...
What more do you need...
faggot...

>>38777715
>>38777683
>>38777663
>>38777727
No, it was an insight towards Fire Grandmastery.

>>38777683
I knew that much, but I remember something about it being weird
>>38777715
and okay, that's why it was weird

Guys, holy shit.
So, Fire magic can bend light and shit, right?
And the gateways to Surya's Heart are actually portals different parts of the void, right?
And we gained a Fire insight from entering one of the portals.
What if Fire magic can teleport shit?

>>38777715
I think it would have something either with gates or raw vys.
Either one sounds like a fun fire GM to get.

>>38777755
What the fuck does bending light have to do with teleportation?
Or are you saying that high level fire magic with enchantment aids can somehow bypass lightspeed because Vys & Magic & Spirits?

>>38777755
Soma did confirm that fire magic is move molecules/atoms/mols, and that fire gms know jack shit about fire magic.

>>38777755
That would be dope.

>>38777787
I mean like, what if Fire magic can manipulate other particles and not just light particles? So it could split an atom, or teleport something, or some shit like that.

>>38777755
I want this to be true, but i can't think of a way to bullshit fire manipulation=teleportation

>>38777775
It's what I'd prefer, since we use fire for mainly illusions. GM in illusions seems kind of worthless so the mystery box seems like a reasonable choice.

>>38777715
We could just mediate on what the insight was towards. We could probably figure out what it was towards.
>>38777755
>>38777787
>>38777817
>>38777818
>>38777819
Honestly if Fire magic is the manipulation particles than we could teleport using Quantum Entanglement.

>>38777817
>>38777819
Okay, so what we do is what we were gonna do before anyways. Which was have SK get a way to observe vys with an electron microscope as we cast and then get Mik to observe his fire magic on the smallest imaginable scales.
Shame there's no meditation potential with "Small" in mind.

The bad thing is i feel like the anti reading anons won't let us use the library.

>>38778216
We can still meditate on them from our memory I assume it'd be something like seeing exactly how the vys flows through our body when casting

>>38778271
I think it's kind of dumb to just assume there will be a book about it in the library

So...

>>38778317
Soma said the library in our home and in the college are basically infinite knowledge places and as long as we roll good enough while searching we can find the stuff we need.
Its why he didn't say no to finding manuals about our armours.

>>38778314
Or we could just massively expend vys through our arms to reinjure ourselves. Can't be that hard.

Research into the arm burn shit will probably result in being able to cast from our entire body or other places instead of just arms.

Right now we pretty much only channel Vys from our arms. Would get rid of the whole burn shit. Also would probably make casting faster.

>>38779265
A golem is not just moving shit. You can do that now with elements or the manipulate spell. A golem is something that is capable of acting independently of its creator. Anything given a mind with the animate spell is a golem, because it can act independently of its creator. However, at the most basic level goelms are only capable of understanding very simple commands. Things like "walk forward", "stand here", "attack him", and "follow me". Runes are used to... enhance a golems intelligence, but only certain runes.

So what golems should we make? I kinda want a giant Golem that's used for transportation and is a walking fortress.

I was thinking maybe a Nature+Water for something like a hardened mud golem. The nature so it could be a sniffer of sorts and made from Mud so it wouldn't be as susceptible to fire. Not to mention we also right next to an ocean so it having water capabilities would be useful.

I was also thinking we'd make one from metal with the help of Fulvia and maybe Skull Kid? Just don't know what ore/metal we should use.

I wonder since you could make armor from palaka worms would it be possible to make a golem from its shell?

>>38779309

Doesn't have to have all our attention focused on it could be a neat side project we work on every so often. A walking fortress/home we can use for traveling, could probably set up some facilities and shops up in it, probably convince some merchants to set up in it. Plus how many Vatis could claim to have such a construct?

>>38779552
That means "Your filth wife" or "Your wife filth". Uxor would need to be in the genitive for it to be "Your wife's filth". I guess it could also meant "Wife your filth"? I don't know, it doesn't really make sense. You have two nominative nouns and one possessive adjective. I guess it could mean "Your wife, your filth", but I don't think so.

>>38779474
We have no reason to mess with golems right now, that's right. In fact, we had literally no good reason to learn Animate instead of an actively useful meta/effect,nor advancing in an element, or developing a technique, but people voted for it anyway I guess because it's "cool" even though we might have to fight for our lives soon.

>>38779867
It's a poor joke. Says "Darzi is a whore" and "Chrys is shit" in Daedric.

Permenancy is what allows them through our cloak.

>>38779883
Ahhh, that makes sense. Purgamentum is both the accusative and the nominative because it's neuter. Okay, that makes sense. I guess it's... acceptable to drop the esse, but really you would want something like...

"Uxor tua stercus/purgamentum est." Your wife (Uxor tua are both nominative feminine) is (third person singular of sum/esse) shit/filth (accusative singular of stercus).

Over the course of the voyage you manage to advance your understanding of Metal and Nature magic as well as learn a new effect. What you learned of Nature magic was particularly interesting. Whilst sitting on your bed you expanded your senses to the world around you, focusing your attention towards the hull of the ship and the ocean below. Immediately the members of the crew began to glow bright green in your vision, but oddly enough the water itself began to glow a paler shade of green. You weren't sure what to make of it at first.

The pale green glow which pervaded the ocean water made it difficult to differentiate between the water and the fish swimming in it. Usually you could differentiate between the fish and the water because the fish were a darker shade of green, but the further out you tried to sense the less distinct the colors got, until they just sort of blended together. At some point far, far beneath the ship itself your perception must have cut out, because you couldn't see a thing beyond five hundred feet.

Initially you tried to determine what was making the water itself glow, but you had no luck. Presumably ocean water, for some strange reason, absorbs vys. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact the ocean is composed of salt water? You know fresh water doesn't glow in the same way that the ocean seems to. You briefly contemplated whether it was possible for tiny creatures to dwell within the ocean, but that's ridiculous. Plus, why would tiny creatures live in the ocean but not in lakes and streams?

Regardless, you never figured out how to filter out the pale green glow of the ocean but you did eventually figure out that you can expand the range of your perception by using the minds of other, simpler creatures as sort of jumping off points. You couldn't do it with humans, but with fish you could sort of temporarily overpower their thoughts and use their own senses to boost the range of your pereption.

Is sister is a Tolkien fan?

As for Metal magic, you just went through forms whilst attempting to reinforce your body. You came to realize that you weren't really just reinforcing your skin, but rather your muscles and bones as well. Unfortunately, you still don't quite understand the mechanics of how you're reinforcing your body. You just sort of know how to channel vys in order to get the desired effect. You do felt that your forms grew better. Taking the time to go through each different step, twist, strike, and contortion slowly and carefully really helped you realize a few small mistakes you'd been making.

The effect you learned, animate, proved complex. You read that animate was essentially giving an object a mind so that it might function on its own. The author was very careful to clarify that animating a broom will not make it clean a room for you, and that the objects animated were not given souls or anything of the like. They are merely able to think and act for themselves, so long as there is an action they can perform unassisted.

The chapter on animate went on to state that the mind is a byproduct of vys. Specifically, it's a byproduct of pure, undiluted vys. The author explained that undiluted vys is the result of combining Water, Fire, Earth, Nature, and Metal magic together. That channeling vys into any one particular school of magic requires tearing away all other types of magic inherent in pure vys, or altering something about channeled vys to turn it into a different kind of channeled vys. The author freely admits that they don't fully understand the process, as their research is still ongoing, but they do know that the mind is a byproduct of vys.

>>38780730
Currently detoxing from copious amounts of drugs.

Guess vitamin C or Potassium is a key indrediant in herbal dtox

>>38780758
better be 1/20

To you, that seemed hard to believe. While it's true that a person will lose consciousness if their vys reserves are depleted, the knowledge that vys is merely a byproduct of the soul makes you question whether or not the mind could in turn be a byproduct of vys. It would make more sense to you if the mind was some separate byproduct of the soul, or perhaps an aspect of the soul itself. You also know that the mind is apparently something distinct which can be manipulated, as you have a spear which is said to destroy an enemy's mind.

Fortunately even if the author didn't understand how animate truly worked, they at least understood how to meditate on it. The author suggested carving a lattice into a wooden or stone surface, the more complex the better. They also suggested that the user do so using magic, rather than mundane tools. Once the lattice is carved, the author suggested attempting to recreate the lattice using pure vys.

To you, the fact you needed to create a lattice to cast the animate spell was curious. Especially considering what you know of the threads which bind together reality. Perhaps animate was not so much creating a mind as it was tricking the threads which bind reality into thinking the object in question has a mind? Like some sort of very basic form of enchantment.

Creating pure vys itself was difficult, but you managed it eventually. It cost an inordinate amount of vys to do so. You ended up saturating your room with the vys which bled off as you attempted to channel all five elements at once. You managed it, but it wasn't easy. Then you ended up needing three or four tries to weave the pure vys into a lattice that you carved on the wood of the hall. Finally, once you figured that out, you wrapped the latice of pure vys around the head of a small ice figurine that you created.

>>38780774
Yeah, actually.

Much to your surprise, the figurine came to life. It moved of its own free will, took a few steps forward, and collapsed. Apparently being alive is incredibly taxing for objects, and it quickly consumed the vys you spent weaving the lattice. It seems animate is going to prove to be a terribly costly spell, unfortunately.

When you weren't either deep in meditation or working, you spent most of your time with the crew. You were mostly curious to learn what they'd heard of lands abroad. Apparently there was some sort of big uproar over the fact that a group of Vatis managed to declare their independence from the Kingdom of Aleamond. The King himself granted the conclave a tower outside of the capital and a few acres of land surrounding the tower, and gave them their independence. Of course, the new nation is a glorified puppet of Aleamond, but it means that Vatis in Aleamond have some place to go if they want to escape persecution.

Nobody is sure why the King, who's father was killed by a insane old Vatis only a decade ago, would do this. One of the sailors heard that the Queen is actually a secret Vatis, and the King's newborn son and heir inherited her ability to perform magic. Another sailor heard that the King's chief advisor was secretly a Vatis and used his influence to convince the King it was a good idea. Another heard that the King had sent ten thousand men to slaughter the conclave of Vatis but the Vatis, with the help of a handful of Samjan of course, managed to beat back the Aleamondian army.

Another sailor has news of the situation in Elven Lands. Apparently that warlord is making stead progress in subduing the disparate Elven tribes. They've only recently conquered the Valley of Teeth in the Eastern Mountains, apparently the capital of a massive tribal coalition which encompasses most of the Elves which dwell in those mountains. The coalition is expected to capitulate and join the Warlord. He's already styling himself Autokrator, the Elven term for Emperor and has taken to wearing a heavy crown of gold and jewels. He's established his capital at Sosae, a city built entirely almost entirely on top of a massive lake using stilts and artificial islands.

Another one of the sailors apparently had a personal encounter with the raiders from far to the north. He was working on a ship which was taking a load of cargo to a city-state on the far northern edge of the Rhynian mainland a few years ago. The ship was attacked and boarded. They managed to fight off the raiders, but it was a close thing and they had to limp their way home with only a handful of crewmen. He describes them as incredibly short, no more than five feet at most with most of them averaging around four and a half, and very pale. He says they carried axes as big as they were tall, and swung them around like they weighed nothing. Apparently they were also resistant to spells, and covered from head to toe in blocky tattoos.

Other than that you mostly learn of inconsequential things. Marqash is being Marqash. The second largest city in El-Amin has been striving for autonomy practically since the Shahdom was formed. Apparently raids across the border have been stepped up. Some say the Shah is preparing to wage a war against the Samrat. You're not convinced. Raiding on the border is fairly normal for both the troops of the Shahdom and the troops of the Samrajya.

By the third day of your journey you're within sight of Anthus. Everyone is looking forward to reaching port and getting a chance to really cut loose, and you're looking forward to both collecting on the money you're owed and getting this business of killing Chryssa's husband underway. The Captain has broken out the liquor early and a good number of the crew are already drunk. Personally, you're enjoying a sparring session against some of the other crew. The weather is sunny and the seas calm, you're not immediately needed.

After getting your weapon knocked out of your hand for the fourth time in as many minutes, you decide to take a breather. Your arms are going to be covered in bruises by the end of this. Whilst resting your head against a barrel, you notice something odd. A dark shape moving across the sky. It has four legs and two wings, a long tail and a long neck, and an angular head. You realize with some concern that it's a dragon. Out in broad daylight.

Keep an eye on it and point it out subtly to the captain to avoid causing a panic

Zahak has only two legs.

I have a feeling a deal was brokered at the college.

Monitor it, but hopefully it's just mindig its own business.
Seems like a young dragon, i don't think Mama had an angular head.

Make sure we pay attention to which direction its going.

>>38781149
Nah, you can actually do it now. You're at Vatis level. It's just expensive.

>>38781110
can we meditate on the fire insight we have to get a clue on what it is?
>>38781149
>>38781115
Could have now though.

>>38781175
I'm going to go with a resounding maybe.

>>38781170
Right.

Because it's either going for us, going to Anthus, or going to El-Amin.

1, This ship is fucked. Hopefully draggie isn't the best swimmer.

2, We warn Zabat that a dragon is coming his way, and Anthus gets toast.

3, We warn our companions and Karim that a dragon is coming to El-Amin and tell them to inform the Right People for the job.
