Magical Coding? :p

Honestly considering how OP magical writing might become it is likely going to either be impossible, simplified via runes, or some other form.

Be able to write how the spell would work has the potential to yield unparalleled power.

Actually it's meant to be a supplement for large-scale necromancy or to enhance the cairn I made. It would mostly likely be runes if anything knowing how rudimentary writing is right now.

Speaking of runes...

Hey G, how does technology stealing work for magic? Because I kinda want to "Hittite Empire" my magic knowledge. You know, keep knowledge of my magic techniques state secret, but if they can just create it themselves without stealing said knowledge what's the point? So will learning enough knowledge making a "magic branch", make it harder for others to make their own copycat version.

I don't want to be able to make a weird version of Dao, just because I can. I rather have to steal said magic knowledge.

Most tribes will definitely start with one dominant magic system, if any. But stealing and teaching I will allow.

The Dao isn't a magic though lol it's the rules that govern the world. You can steal methods of bending those rules, also known as cultivation methods (of which I currently have none) but the Dao itself isn't steal-able :p .

Assuming, of course, the Dao isn’t just a mass hallucination of clap-your-hands.

So um... Any chance I might spawn some spiritual magic with my antics?

That's fine, I was merely using it as a example. I rather deal with Dao users a different way, but that will have to wait till the very late game. :twisted:

How hard would it have a minor magic system that works with the dominant.

That's a vague question, so I can't really say.

On that note, since Nux seems to have disappeared for his honeymoon, anyone else interested in helping with the RP? I can usually update, but not always, like during the last week or so.

I can help out, I usually have time late at night, so as long as it's not calculus levels of intense thought I can do it :p

Would drums and other musical instruments be an invention of their own, or are they part of the understood basic stuff that you can make at anytime?

@G you wrote Rudimentary Combustion [3/3] for me, what does that mean? Can I work ice-iron? Iron? Lead? Anything? :p

Something you should invent, certainly.

Right now, it means you know how to burn coal vaguely completely/efficiently. Feel free to try to use that knowledge for other things though!

Will post tomorrow if I can, due to IRL. Also, looks like I have to constantly pray and praise my god now, as well as make a sacrifice, so he will answer and the shrine will be useful because of faith. Also magic
