I always knew the system had more possibilities to it than I had discovered, but this is something else. Thanks for running it piecewise.
A question: How much did intent matter for determining spell effects? I noticed a few times it seemed to help, but I also changed the word order so I'm not sure.

Edit: I also noticed the description of the protection circles. I wonder what would have happened if someone tried to enter one with a blood rune?
Edit 2: Something I was meaning to find out in game: What happens when only part of an item is in a circle? Say, putting the blade of a sword in a conversion circle.

A few words specifically mentioned "what the caster is thinking of."  For the most part, though, I believe intent mattered little.



So how DO you make a booze plant?

[Dermonster]

I think you'd do like (Plant contain booze).

More questions for PW:
What are the mechanical effects of a mageblood transfusion?
Will you continue to develop the world for us?  Flesh out the lore, make combat stats for the wizards, ect.  I could do it myself, but you seem better at it.
How do the communication circles work?  I get the channels, but do they just transport voice when someone is standing in them?  If there's a bunch set to the same channel, and someone talks in one, does the voice come out in every circle?
Gods would change what they want you to do once you leveled up with them, (Sha-calun the everflame would want you to just use fire to get the first level, then he wants you to actually kill things with fire) but it doesn't say anything about that in the gods file.

I just realized now that with the released words and runes list, we can have a private speaking and writing system for our communal gang if we wind up doing that. Nice.

Shall we hash out grammar?

Let's start by deciding on pronouns and articles.

[Xanmyral]

Rabelthal or Shaazeshelial should be 'me' or 'I', I think. Or Rabelthal could be 'me' and Shaazeshelial could be used in terms of 'things affecting me,' given its usage.

I think Dorbaedal should be informal 'you', like used in terms of a friend or ally, while Conshael could be used for a formal 'you', like an average joe on the street.

I think having Ralthel as a modifier for Dorbaedal and Conshael to signify 'they' or 'them' could work, unless better words are found.

Reason I chose those were because of the effect, things like the 'fire at' versions could be used in anger, while the 'appear' versions can be... Something. Ralthel Rabelthal could be 'we' maybe, although a bit silly and probably a better combo.

EDIT: Rethinking, I think the appear should be the general usage ones, while the effect could be 'go do something to him,' or 'get him to do something' while the appear would make more sense in selection in a 'hey you' kind of way thinking on it now.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Some words will need to be made by portmanteau, unless we want to make new words out of whole cloth, so "we" could be "ralthal".

And we need to start preparing an English-to-Perplexish and vise versa dictionary...

[Unholy_Pariah]

So umm... anyone feel like copying the perplexicon.odt into a word or text document for those of us without open office?

[Dermonster]

What we need is a way to reuse these words and these runes without someone reverse-googling their way to full encyclopedic knowledge.

I'm currently reassigning all the meanings and words for my game.  It'll probably confuse the heck out of me since I've accidentally memorized many words, especially if we do use it as a language.

Speaking of, I have thought's on grammar, but I'll hold off till tomorrow.  Too tired right now.

[GreatWyrmGold]

The biggest one is determining a protocol for absent words.

Although mundane things like plurals and verb tenses are important, too. And verbs.

[Dermonster]

How are you going to do runes when we all know what each image represents?

Also how the hell did we get from blowing eachother up with a language nobody knows to blowing said language into a full communication system in a peaceful tea sipping manner?
