I didn't know that so TY!

So that will revert back to earth after 24 hrs. What effort, for example, would be needed to make that actually permanent?

Asking for a friend...

I don't have the DFRPG books, but I believe it's the same as GURPS:DF.  DF1 page 20 (right column, about halfway down the page) has Create spells only lasting a day, but doesn't give any information about spending extra energy to make them last longer.  The latter may have been a house rule or something added in DFRPG (or might be in Power Ups, which I don't have), but I'm sure I recall it from when Chou-Zhen was going to make gravestones by Shaping Earth then transforming Earth to Stone (after the battle with Pequenaud's troops) -- but wound up spending the energy to Shape Earth on natural stones at the higher energy cost because that effect would be permanent.

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 27):

Can Shape Earth on natural stones later be dispeled?

In reply to Alastrine (msg # 28):

Kromm had an article wherein it was stated that create spells need 10x energy to be permanent; this was to put a damper on the action economy of essential earth-earth to stone (metal) to create orichalcum - as those spells both take a 10x energy cost, the minimum cost for an unshaped urichalcum ingot is 100 FP and shaping it is even more, thus the +29 cf.

Shaping worked stone is more expensive than natural stone (2x cost), so shape stone would be otherwise permanant if the shape is natural- a column or wall will collapse after 1 minute; a large and lumpy slab would hold, but the cost of moving the cut stones of an iter would be double

Cool, will try to remember that!

maybe 3 new onboarding  a cleric for Autumn, a mage for double damned and msybe a junior clergyman for tavern.

We could certainly use a little healing or some undead repellent...

A healer would be welcome among us, too.

So Devereaux is leaving for a custom mage? Nice...

In reply to Aoife (msg # 34):

yes Devereaux is an npc.

Well it makes sense. We do need a stronger magic user, especially since we need to find out who is ultimately behind the tiles.

In reply to Mancini (msg # 36):

be back on in a day or so

Hello fellow kids.  I hope to be joining you soon.  I don't want to give anything extra away, but I hope to add to your cohort as a member of the followers of the Dark Mother.

Welcome, Vexxara.  Hope you enjoy the game.  :)

Yep, he said it well! Welcome!!

In reply to Hannatti (msg # 40):

Yes, welcome. I hope you fit right in!

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 41):

Vexxara, you can join in "The road to Autumn" as you hear a tremendous triple howl from further up the procession,
Just paste in a character sheet

FWIW, candles were used in mines from the 13th century at least to detect bad air (flame would gutter or even go out if there wasn't enough oxygen) or dangerous gases (it would take on a blue mantle with high levels of carbon monoxide or methane).  After its invention in 1815, a Davey lamp, with the flame enclosed in a fine metal mesh, would give the same indications without the risk of igniting high concentrations of methane and causing an explosion.

Hello gentlemen. I wonder if the demon hunters would mind having a traveling mage join them?

This demon hunter, at least, would welcome the company of a capable mage with similar goals and values to our own.

No objection here either. Just watch the short jokes...

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 45):

Very little Margery to compete here. Maybe I can learn a thing or two...

In reply to Sederic (msg # 47):

more folks onboarding, be back Tuesday.

No objections here. Hell, maybe I'll learn a new trick or two....
