Perhaps it 's effects that use a certain amount of mana. And specific areas will decrease effects over time.

I'm partial to 'a certain amount of mana'. Something like MILF by itself being too low-level/freely flowing to trigger it- unless it's some exceptionally large source like a large, ancient waterfall.

Otherwise, if they only survived in certain areas, the gems would sublimate as soon as they leave those special dead areas.

I meant "being in areas with high milf will degrade it."

Alternative: some are more "stable" than others. While they provide less protection, they last longer. The "stable" kind would probably have use in Ritual Magic to assist the guidelines of where you want energy to go.

Like say a normal one has a 3 MP over 15 minutes; a "stable" version would be like 5/15 or higher. Zero protection from weak spells, but better portable.


The opposite material, where it's a magic sponge, would be fun.

Ah ok, I think we're thinking of the same thing then.
Could be various impurities or the shape of it.
-e
Actually, just as far as sensitivity goes, just tie it to purity. Pure Beryllium would be a mega-sponge, though it wouldn't have much capacity what with not being in a crystal. So just get Beryl with further Beryllium impurities to get highly-sensitive absorption with some capacity to it.

Heh, fun but hard to come by. Even with a very large crystal, depending on how MILF replenishes, they'd have likely died off long ago outside of dead zones. Once they're found, you could probably transport them by putting'm in a resist-magic box.

hehe, stupid-large wizard-crystals could be responsible for dead patches of their own, thousands of years of MILF only a drop in the olympic swimming pool.


Edited my last IC post with more description.
Here's an image to give a good impression of the shield- though it's an oval rather than a circle.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The anchors for the gems (black snakes) are true meteoric iron, and they extend clear through the shield  when they're deployed, (about an inch deep, the gem protruding another half-inch from the surface of the shield). They lack bottoms to accommodate longer crystals, but do have a bottleneck to anchor the gem arrays. The bottleneck allows gems up to 2 inches in width, which at 1.5" long would be worth ~550 middling spells. What I've got is more like 1.3 inch3, which is more like a dozen.
The central gem is 1.2" wide & worth about 1600. But by itself it'll only decrease spell effects. The whole series is important for good protection.

Apologies, I've been growing more skilled at the art of procrastination lately and berating myself for it has as of yet been unsuccessful.

To avoid this occurring yet more, I will say "Posting Now" rather than "Posting Soon".

Posting now.

For info and whatnot, I want Ross and players to know that I imagine Daethwin with a violin is like Lindsey Sterling, but more rogueish.

And with a sword, sometimes, so ya know.

But mostly, I put this here because the following songs are effectively inspiration and give an idea of the type of thing he's singing about.

General style of contrast and whatnot, though perhaps not representative of the music he's actually playing(aka I have no real idea why I included them):
Good Day, by Nappy Roots
We Share Our Mother's Health, by The Knife

Sad/Funereal Songs(these were the hardest to find):
Lux Aeterna - Full Orchestra, by people
I'll Follow You Into The Dark, by Death Cab For Cutie
Emotional Music - Death Dance, by Adrian von Ziegler

Happy/Sun Songs(WHEEE SO MANY):
Here Comes The Sun, by The Beatles
Chasing The Sun, by The Wanted
Sunlight, by The Magician
Sunlight, by Bag Raiders (the true inspiration for the spell idea)
More Sunlight, this time by Modestep (not the dubstep parts >.> the music video might be a good idea of Daethwin's personality in general, tho)
Brighter Than The Sun, by Colbie Caillat
Brighter Than Sunshine, by Aqualung (for good measure, and also the only real song with something close to the contrast of happy and sad I'm lookin' for)

In case it wasn't clear, Daethwin figures magical sunlight, attached to/pouring from Thale's face, should do the trick here, if nothing else will.

I wasn't sure whether Thales would be overjoyed at glowing, or pissed about anyone's heathen magic touching his pristine body(pretty sure Thales would be gay for himself if he didn't think sex was beneath him). :P

Thales will interpret this as a blessing from Almighty Arnum which some heathen jerk is trying to take credit for, obviously :P.
