Wow. That's something like 70 Paris-Hilton-related porn spam messages in one infrequently-checked webmail inbox.

But at least I make good spanakopita. Too bad there's no toaster oven at work, or I would have been eating leftovers for lunch. But the microwave would make my majestic meal soggy and flaccid.

Changing the subject again, if Kraig B. were still in the area so that I might run into him from time to time, I would, upon the next such putative occasion, complain most mightily to him about the name of the Grimoire called "Liber Tenebris Distalis," which marred an otherwise good read.

Well, not all that mightily. But still.

Finally, speaking of Mage, a completely geeky thought that occurred to me today in the School of Theology basement men's room: What Spheres would you need to curse the anonymous person who peed all over the damn seat? Then I realized that the obvious ones (Correspondence, Entropy, possibly Life) are all Spheres my character doesn't have yet, so even in fantasy-land I couldn't do it, and that made me sad.

*sigh*...ok...here we go...
Well, allowing for the use of dynamic magic...

Since you dont have those 3, I will make some alternative suggestions.

If you have TIME, you could see who in the immediate past MISused the facilities...then shift the pee sideways in time, its still 'there', simply half second farther along in conceptual time. Trigger the endpoint of the effect to tag the offender the next time he appears (MIND,TIME), to PISS on him. (FORCES, to redirect the newly re-appearing stream)

You could send a haunting, using SPIRIT, to tag the pisser (blood links to the person or thing that spilled it...piss could as well)

Or...you could create a cherrybomb effect (FORCES,MATTER,PRIME), set to increase the waterpressure explosively in the toilet the next time the tagged offender appears.


Hope this helps. Have some disinfectant wipes.

Our gaming group refuses to admit the possibility that it could be otherwise.

Hey...Just because it is a MAGE setting, does not mean that -everyone- is enlightened. There are those very potent hedgemages out there...and of course, with re-awakened Mummies, Heaku magic is considered 'static'

Erm, I just meant that, in a purely game-mechanical sense, given the choice between using dynamic casting rules for Sphere Effects, or limiting it to "spell lists" of rotes, we pick the dynamic.

That's going to be in the new Virtual Adepts Tradition book right?

Obvious E. Ploy

Today "Queering K. Inhibition" writes to inform me of "space Horse Penis with Farmgirls cars," and "Posher H. Harangue" says, "[name], this woman are for you!" (But that last turns out to be leading me on, as really it's only about penis enlargement.)
