The full wheel

[Nephrite]

So does that mean that, somehow or another, items created via divine power aren't 'eligible' to have this empowerment? I just want to make sure I'm understanding the rules as we understand them.

EDIT: Sorry, I guess I should clarify: Items created via the divine power we have access to currently.

[Anastasia]

No, as in it would cost too much to be added on to what you've made already. Remember you have a gold piece limit, 4500 gold as a demipower.

[Nephrite]

Okay, I gotcha. So the 'effect' as it is has a cost in terms of enhancement bonus, more or less?

In that case, let's at least see what we can study from the Syllen pieces we already have to see if we can add anything to the notes.

[Anastasia]

Sure, give me another round of checks then.

[Nephrite]

May as well go all out on this and use some bard songs and other crap to make sure we can excel at this!

Take 10 for 137 on K:A and 132 on Spellcraft.

[Anastasia]

What's your bonus rundown? Sylvie may chip in some of her own.

[Nephrite]

+20 competence from the Knowledge Prism
+15 luck from Improvisation
+15 Insight from Divine Insight
+18 Morale from Inspire Competence
+4 more from his base Int due to Inspire Excellence.

If Sylvie's helping then she'd get the bonuses too, he's not selfish!

Woof. After a good deal of work, Sylvie sits back, "I think I've filled in the skeleton and most of the muscles," she finally says, a gesture of her hand as papers sort themselves, fly into place and ink blotches vanish. "There's a few pieces where I'd need information I don't have and can't reliably extrapolate or divine, but I'd say I have a 95% understanding of it."

[Nephrite]

"Well, let me ask this before anything: Do you think this would work better if we were able to somehow put the knowledge of it into an artifact?" Moore asks. "I realize that's...me sounding rather trivial, but I have to wonder if the original Sphere was a minor artifact of some nature."

[Anastasia]

"It might, if we did it right," Sylvie says, "And we found someone who could do it, or did it the long way."

[Nephrite]

"Do you think finding a deity who specializes in magic would be of benefit?" Moore asks. "I think there are a few in Celestia."

[Anastasia]

"Absolutely," Sylvie says, "I'm good, but I don't have dominion over magic. There are a few things I won't ever be able to do that they can." She admits that openly, then scowls and looks up, out a window. "You don't have to be that good an example, aren't gods supposed to present themselves as all powerful?"

[Nephrite]

Moore snorts but covers his mouth and coughs into his hand.


so I know I said there were some in Celestia, but... are there actually? I would've thought Erathaol, but nope!

Besides the Dweomerheart ones, I know there's also Io...

[Anastasia]

Let me check.

None of the Hebdomad have magic as a domain.

The House of the Triad is a strikeout.

Dwarfhome, unsurprisingly since dwarves, is also a strike out.

Bahamut is many things even before we get to Jaela's voodoo doll of him, but a magic domain deity isn't one of those things.

That's unfortunate.

[Nephrite]

"You know... actually, no one in Celestia is." Moore says. "...But I know someone who could probably help us above and beyond anyone here." He clear his throat. "Would you like to go meet a certain dragon?"
