kirbytober day 10: fav ability/magic

[magicjudge]

Rules interaction question. Shelob, Child of Ungoliant + a PW + An ability that turns it into a creature. If Shelob kills a PW while it is a creature, does she still make a food of that "creature"? Does it still have Loyalty Counters/can it activate Loyalty abilities? Is it still killed upon having no Loyalty Counters on it?

Shelob will always make food out of whatever dies to one of your spiders, so the fact that it's a planeswalker or something else that's not normally a creature doesn't matter.

You'll make a token copy of the printed card except it's a Artifact - Food instead of its other types. In the case of a planeswalker, that means your copy of Sarkhan the Masterless will be a Legendary Artfact - Food that enters with no loyalty counters on it. You can still use one of its loyalty abilities on each of your turns, adding or removing loyalty counters as needed*, but it's not a planeswalker and so it can't be attacked and it won't die due to having 0 loyalty counters on it.

*(Loyalty abilities still work normally because they're a special class of abilities with their own rules. However, entering the battlefield with loyalty counters only happens for planeswalkers, so the food starts with none.)

An order of events:

My changeling character makes a deal for information with a dryad for information, the cost of which is that the dryad feels my emotions for a day instead of me. (Bad deal for the dryad, my changeling Went Through It in the next 24 hours, that dryad felt some shit)

While under the effects of that lack of emotion, my changeling makes a bad deal with another goblin she probably wouldn't have while emoting as she normally does. The cost of that deal was that I would give him an update about the child of one of the PC's fetches (doppelgangers created to take a changeling's place in their life after the changeling is abducted). This is interesting, cause by all rights it's impossible for a fetch to have a child. While researching in the process of trying to learn enough for that update, my changeling learns something she'd have to share which would endanger that child if it got out- that the blood of a fetch's child is a potent weapon.

My changeling makes a third deal with a third being, far away from the other two, the cost of which is she has to give them "an interesting piece of information she learned recently". She gave up the fact that "a fetch's child's blood is a potent weapon", disconnected from the fact that such a child exists, and now can't share that particular tidbit with the goblin from the second deal.

Never gonna come back to bite me baby, keep wheeling and dealing 😎

@zeroabyss replied to your post “@zeroabyss replied to your post “You're not wrong...”:

I definitely say a father telling him he has to do it all on his own and that he can’t even rely on his friends or even their fellow nations, definitely pushed Lyon to take the path that he did. No one can handle something on their own, and so Lyon was tempted to use the one power their texts said had the power to avert disaster.

​You can see how this issue was more than likely a flaw when Lyon talks about him to the twins. About how his father took on the burdens all on his throne and barely, if ever rested. The man shouldered everything that it likely played into his worsening health and death, and his final words being to tell Lyon he can’t rely on help from others concerning a natural disaster and that the other countries would leave any Grado refugees to die at the border to protect themselves

Vigarde pushing all of the country's hopes and aspirations on his unprepared son was his mistake, sure, but...

Between Vigarde telling him to deal with Grado's fate alone because relying on Renais is impossible, and Vigarde/Father Mc Gregor/The World telling him not to free Satan to use his powers because Satan nearly destroyed the continent centuries ago, if Lyon had to pick one command to disobey, I suppose he could have picked the "I'm still going to ask for Renais' help" instead of "I'm going to use Fomortiis' powers".

Vigarde might have steered him in the wrong direction - Lyon already playing with Fomortiis' powers (to save a child! and then to predict tempests and save more lives!) was his own thing.

It's SS in a nutshell, good intentions alone cannot justify the worst means used to satisfy/reach them.

Lyon lamented and complained about his perceived weakness, feeling he would never compare to the twins nor would be the kind of ruler Grado will need to save itself... so he doomed Magvel, wanting to be the strong and kind person he wished to be.

I think this is the flashback where it's more or less spelled out :

Lyon: “Mm… My research isn’t complete yet, but there’s no mistaking the power the Sacred Stones contain. And the Stone of Grado seems especially responsive to my dark magic. I suppose it’s because it contains both sacred and demonic properties. Regardless, if I can just press my studies a little harder… Well, I think I might be able to use it to heal my father’s illness. If that works, there’s no telling how many other people I can help as well.” Eirika: “Do you think this is wise? The power contained within the stones is beyond our understanding… My father tells me that the stones possess a power not to be trifled with.” Lyon: “Uh-huh… Father MacGregor is also against it. That’s why they still won’t give me direct access to the Stone of Grado. For the time being, I’ve made do with the radiant energies surrounding it. They’re nothing compared to the raw power of the stone itself, but… If I can show Father MacGregor some real progress, perhaps one day…”

(...)

Lyon: “Thanks, both of you. Hearing those words from you means a lot to me. Actually–and this hasn’t been made public yet–but… I’ve already saved someone using the knowledge I’ve gleaned so far.” Ephraim: “You have?” Lyon: “Uh-huh… A while back, a fire ravaged Serafew, and a little girl got trapped in the flames. Her burns were terrible: not even healing staves were able to cure her injuries. But just a sliver of the stone’s power restored her life and healed her wounds. We saved that girl’s life, Ephraim! Oh, if you could have seen the tears of joy in her mother’s eyes!

Fado, Ismaire and I'm pretty sure Vigarde himself know it's not wise to triffle/use the SS powers... Father MacGregor is also against it, as the resident "holy man" around - and his words are important, since the Church of Magvel was founded after Latona, who fell herself (but managed to fend him off for some reason ???) to Fomortiis' possession! - but Lyon's reply is... Mockery? Or disinterest?

Father Mac Gregor wanted to prevent him from continuing on this path, and forbade him access to the Stone! But Lyon didn't care and still used what was... available, when he also knows the power he is using has demonic properties, and a will of its own!

Lyon's reasoning isn't "Father Mac Gregor is right maybe I should try to consider that I cannot "use" Fomortiis" but something like "maybe he doesn't believe me when I tell him this power can be used for good! I just have to continue working on it!" completely missing the point...

Or is he?

Sure, Lyon saved the Serafew child... but this hadn't made been public as of yet (2 years before the start of the game), like was this not enough to convince Father Mac Gregor that he could use those powers to do right and good things? Or Lyon himself realised he... "saved" someone who was already dead?

This flashback is even more interesting because we have this, the twins' failure :

Ephraim: “Using the Sacred Stones to study magic…” Lyon: “Ephraim, Eirika, what do you two think? Using the divine power of the Sacred Stones in this way… You don’t think it’s a very good idea, do you?” Ephraim: “…It’s just that I know nothing at all of magic. I would that there were some way I could help you, but I simply can’t. But, Lyon, I’ve seen how hard you’ve worked to help others. I know how much you want the power to make others happy. I know these things, and because I know you, I trust your intentions.” Lyon: “Ephraim…” Ephraim: “If you hope to use the power of the Sacred Stone for good, I trust you can. I’m behind you all the way.” Eirika: “I agree with Ephraim entirely. You spend every night in the library, studying cures for your father’s illness. The power of the Sacred Stones is too powerful to be used for personal gain. But you, Lyon… I think you’ll be fine. You’re the kindest person I know.”

It's a double failure on their part, firstly because they give empty reassurances to Lyon claiming to know him, how he wants to use this power because he has the right intentions, or how it's totally not used for his personal gains...

When part of Lyon's desire for power was to help people, sure, but also, to be worth someone in Ephraim and Eirika's eyes!

Secondly...

No, the power of the SS (especially the one housing Fomortiis!) cannot and should not be used, even for "good" or with "good intentions". There are lines that shouldn't be crossed, even if it means not being able to save people/not reach your dreams.

The Epilogue in Eirika's route is very explicit :

Eirika: “That would be nice… But first we must seal this away… This stone banished the Demon King. With such power… Do you suppose we could bring back Father and Lyon… That everyone who died in this dreadful war could be–“ Ephraim: “Eirika.” Eirika: “I know, I know. Such things would be– I cannot wish for such things. No matter how it hurts, or rather because it hurts, we must learn to accept sorrow. We must take it into our hearts and tame our grief…” Ephraim: “Eirika… Tell me, Sister… If Lyon were here with us, what do you think he would want?” Eirika: “What he would want?” Ephraim: “Yes. You see, I think I know. It was the reason for his studies. It’s why he wanted to know about the Sacred Stones–or rather the Fire Emblem. Let’s take Lyon’s dreams and fulfill them in his stead. We can do that, can’t we? Without relying on any mystic power?” Eirika: “You’re right, Brother, we can. Let us fulfill his dreams. As Lyon wanted, as we all want… So we may live in peace and joy.”

Sure this epilogue sort of sucks because Eirika has to be explained things by Eph out of anyone (when we know how he takes the news in his route!), but the point still stands, tempted with the power to achieve the impossible... the heroes refuse and accept to move forward and fulfill their dreams (make the impossible possible?) without relying on mystic powers, especially if it comes from Fomortiis himself!

kirbytober day 10

yippee!!!!

hot take: i prefer the old mirror kirby design from super star. i do think it needed an update, but i really wish the modern redesign had taken more inspiration from simirror (for they cannot be improved upon. anything else was bound to disappoint)

Prompt list (Day 10: Favorite Copy Ability/Magic)

They should start putting the enemy Snooter in Kirby games again. Look at him. Look how skrunkly he is. Would love to see him in 3D.

SashaMabs Baby?

If they had a kid meme

send me a pair name and I’ll tell you what I think it would be like if they had a child.

Name: Erthoron (meaning Uniter) His Fey name would be Ælfric

Gender: Male

General Appearance: His skin is slightly paler than Mablung's with dark hair, blue eyes, and ears closer to the size of the elves. He's 7'5. Mablung won the genetics.

Personality: While able to be stern and serious, Ertho is more boisterous and outgoing, something which Sasha heavily encourages. He's confident, ever curious, and adventurous, often times wanting to go on diplomatic missions with Mablung or spend the day with Beleg in the forest.

Special Talents: Ertho has some magical ability, and limited sight of the dead. He is unable to shape shift like his mother and only gets a rash when interacting with iron.

Who they like better: Ertho loves both of his parents very much, though he leans a bit more to Mablung because he sees how loving and caring he is to Sasha.

Who they take after more: Due to Ertho's boisterous nature, Sasha and Mablung joke that he takes more after Beleg than either of them.

Personal Head canon: After finding out that she was pregnant, Sasha and Mablung spent weeks debating what type of familiar to create for their child. After deciding upon a wolf, Sasha secretly increased the height of the wolf until his size rivaled Huan and Carcharoth, wanting the mightiest beast to protect her baby. Mablung didn't notice how big it was until it was time to breath life into the sculpture and by then it was too late.

Every time Helluva Boss or Hazbin Hotel has a glimpse of genuinely GOOD WRITING, I go insane. Both of these shows feel like edging to me, like they will tease me with these bangers and then leave me to dry EVERY DAMN TIME.

[crows-junk-pile]

More oc posting, cult edition! So the town Moon and co. grew up in was home to a town wide cult who worshiped some kind of angel-like figure, I haven't quite figured it out but they have something about angels, which is why Finch hates his ability bc the cult and mostly his grandma made a big deal about him being able to have wings and it made him really uncomfortable and now he hates his ability.

So 6 years before the story proper starts this cult town was planning a ritual to summon whoever they're worshipping and that would raise the town and every thing in a 15 mile radius and that would be really bad because the reason that the cult can even pull this off despite their being not a lot of people with magic/abilities there is bc theirs a magic core crystal thingy under the mountain that the town is close too and the ritual would destroy that crystal which for some reason is really bad for Kore. Something about too many deaths too soon.
