A Questionnaire on Magic (trying to get this one right)

[sythyry]

Well, my apologies to all of you. That last questionnaire was far too much fun, but -- as several people pointed out -- as approximately as safe to turn in as a more mundane assignment that I happened to write on a live nycathath's wing rather than regular paper.

So, I'm doing it again. I'm doing it properly, and I'm doing it gently, and I'm doing it with all available care. Hopefully this will be the last one for this assignment.

A Zi Ri shouldn't really get impatient, I know... Alas.

Kathia!

Make The Morning Kathia (Cr Su Aq Hr Py 10) - OK, so it doesn't exist, but it *shoud*!

[OOC - you are encouraged to make up new spells. The ones in the book are only representative; after all, magic is the technology of prime civilization! -bb]

Dustweed has Simmer the Leaves of Life (Cr Su Aq Py Te 5), in which you put kathia leaves in a wooden bowl, cast the spell, and immedately have steeped kathia ready to drink. Use reduced-power casting: a wizard could cast this spell and make overcooked kathia!

A few friends have Make the Morning Kathia, but like most easy food-making spells, it's not very satisfying. If you don't know kathia very well, your spell-made kathia is terrible. If you're a real connesseur, you can create tolerable kathia, but nothing like as good as you could make from real plants. [OOC: the quality of magically-produced foods and other craftworks is about half what you could do yourself, with simple spells at least.]

Ahh, but I do know a bit of Spiriador - my illusions wouldn't run themselves without it, you know. Perhaps I could add that in to make the perfect cuppa. As a bonus, it'd know if I wanted sugar or milk that morning.

Dustweed's spell only has Tempador for ridiculously upscale arts. A Spiridor one would be very nice!

OT thanks

*Smile* With that wonderful bee-mask peering down at me from the dresser when I get up each morning, plus Vicki's new icon, and all like that -- plus hearing about your courage and goodness in a fairly difficult situation -- you are often in my thoughts.

Best of luck to you!
