Who: Lup + anyone!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Heron / Iskaulit
When: Nowish


Hey there, fleeter friends, let me pick your brain for a few minutes, get those creative juices flowing.

If you could have any kind of magical weapon, armor, or a fancy artifact- what would it be, and what could it do? The theoretical sky is the limit, here, this is just a fun thought experiment.

[Toooootally theoretical. She's not fishing for new stuff to work on, no sir.

Lup can be found easily enough in person as needed, either in her room or in the kitchen on the Heron, or messing around in the smithy onboard the Iskaulit. It's project time.]

Oh, please do! [ He looks impressed, and Dorian is wanting to ask questions of his own about her abilities. How can you not admire a fellow mage's abilities? ] A spirit, yes. It essentially takes my place in battle if I'm incapacitated, though I haven't tested its endurance fully. One can assume that it will last until my mana is depleted, though it ceases once I'm roused again. It can cast any of my abilities, though it tends toward the strengths of my staff.

[Oh, well then.]

Interesting... same name but different functionality, then. In my world a Simulacrum can exist as a separate creature, a duplicate of whoever you cast it on, for as long as it has life- or as long as it hasn't been damaged to the point of the original creature's "death", at least. It can do any spell you know, but it can't regain its power and can't really be healed.

Fascinating! Something like that in Thedas would require blood magic, I do believe. That form of magic is strictly taboo, only for the weak of mind. [ That's not a very positive opinion of blood magic. For reasons. ]

[necromanswers]

Huh... can't say I'm familiar. I mean, you can use blood for it, but any part of the body would work just as well- hair, nail clippings, stuff like that. And there's plenty of spells that use blood as a component for casting, but that's just normal necromancy.

[Probably just an extra specialization that doesn't exist in her world, or something.]

Why's it taboo?
