Please make a DC18 knowledge roll to understsand the dais. Katsuya

If you would Charon to help with the translating, he can give Isa advantage to the roll. Sisyphus Happy

 

[Sisyphus Happy]

He definitely will after they have a short discussion.

 

[Katsuya]

Alright~ I’ll write later today.

 

[Sisyphus Happy]

Charon really do be like Arnold from the Magic School Bus.

"I should've stayed dead today"

XD Oh my gosh.

Well Imma roll~

 

[Katsuya]

Knowledge +7
Library books +4
I don’t know if Ancient languages count but I will put it here, just in case. +4

And if Charon is giving advantage, then I’d roll double. I can wait until Zer0 says it’s all clear.

 

[Sisyphus Happy]

Charon also does ancient languages.

 

[Katsuya]

Should I roll now? I don’t know! Ahhhhh! XD

 

[Sisyphus Happy]

The only suspect thing is the modifiers. Yall might just be able to resolve the modifiers and add it to whatever you roll.

Charon is helping so Isa would be getting advantage.

Yis, this all good, you can roll.

 

[Katsuya]

Okay~

EDITED: I am so happy for the advantages!!!!! Oh geez!

Success~

 

[Katsuya]

WOOOOO!

Where does Materia come from?

Oh, and Materia comes from processed ragnite, which is like a manna stone mined from the ground, plus alchemicals, and the maker knowing the spell they want to turn into materia.

 

[Sisyphus Happy]

So, as far as my character would know, there are few if any methods for imbuing objects with permanent magical effects other than using Materia?

How many people alive know how to make materia in this world?

Uh-huh~ I don't have a set lore for the methods so you can shoot me some ideas, though the limiting thing would be that the enchanter knows the spell. What we do have set up in the shop is that there are magic items that are rechargeable using ragnite, and then there are the items that don't need recharging but have a limited set of use after every long rest.

 

[Zer0]

And I'd say in the non-templar lands, the people who know how to make materia are as numerous as let's say hardware stores in real life, though in some cultures a kind of enchanting may be more common placed such as the enlargement charms on tents in Barad Eithel and their solar surfers. In Templar lands that kind of thing is forbidden, so the people who know how to make materia there would probably be reserved for military? Secret military stuff? Or the rare rogue mechromancer hiding away somewhere?

[Sisyphus Happy]

Cool, cool. So the lost knowledge in the current scenario we're in would be the spell Manuel imbued the ragnite with.

 

[Zer0]

Cool, cool. So the lost knowledge in this case would be the spell Manuel imbued the ragnite with.

For which thingy?

 

[Sisyphus Happy]

If Materia is the only thing that Charon knows of that binds magic to physical objects, he might reason that the well is imbued with some kind of materia, as well as the conduits for power and the daises and city's thrusters, possibly everything in that old tower that has some kind of magical function.

So if the mystery of how spells are bound to objects is solved, then the precise thing he doesn't know is what spell is 'attuned' to the materia.

I'd say a DC18 Knowledge roll to read the runes on the well would tell him the spell that's keeping a piece of Titan's soul stone in there.

 

[Sisyphus Happy]

I don't even think he would want to look at them, he hates that well, but I'll keep it in mind.

 

[Zer0]

Also, I'll say that for ancient things, like the dais and the well that don't look like they were made with recent technology or modern steel, Charon would know Manuel didn't enchant that, but the people from the Age of Arcana. Sisyphus Happy

 

[Sisyphus Happy]

Charon has no clue who that is.
