Anke found something else on thesurrealist.co.uk to play around with.

Sylvie is a Giant Man-Eating Plant that Fears Nothing, emits Ultrasonic Screams, Hovers Eerily, and has Bulletproof Skin. Strength: 6 Agility: 2 Intelligence: 3 To see if your Giant Battle Monster can defeat Sylvie, enter your name and choose an attack: fights Sylvie using Strength Agility Intelligence

First, I've been drawn. I'll refrain from commenting because it makes my author feel weird.


Second, she thinks this might be interesting... We'll see if anyone plays along.

Anybody has something they'd want to ask me? Personal, about Eodea, anything I might reasonably be able to answer. Comment here.

(this one)

I may be getting used to magic-users from other places casting spells that strike me as so complicated they should take hours in a few moments. Slowly.

My first suspicion for a block would be something woven at a finer level than I'm examining at, but of course this magic may well work entirely differently.

If not, the idea of the spell possibly feeding off the target is fascinating. As far as I know, back home there were experiments to weave spells into artifacts that refuel from ambient energy, but the components for gathering it used up so much it wasn't worth the effort. So far.
A way to directly feed a spell from someone who cannot weave magic themselves would have great potential, I'm sure...

I'm also sure everyone involved should be glad it's Siri there rather than me; I'm afraid so much scientific curiosity can't make for a bearable bedside manner, at least in my case.

...I mentioned here were not a joke.

There is an order in Eodea whose name Anke hasn't figured out yet whose main purpose is fighting negative magical influences. They are more prominent in Konda, and their arsenal, particularly against vampires, includes silver-laced maces.

I could be certain they'd recognise me as human. I am not completely confident on that count here in Canyet...

... but, assuming those results are representative, why the *bleep* are nearly all of your leaders men?

Teaching a plant to write? eh...

Some more examples in a language Anke understood would have been nice.

It seems more like using the plant as a sensor, and having the computer write up the measured data in natural language, than anything else.

Here I am. We'll se how this goes.
