((Range is however much DR wants it, up to a point of half a mile away from her.))

[Empiricist]

((Not much, they've tracked down the teleportation hub of the person who attacked Meme and we are now discussing the interest rate of magic.))
((How will we calculate interest and interest rates? Note that the country's reserve bank decisions also determines the base interest rate (if there isn't any, it just goes to a default rate). What are the exchange rates of multiplier, turns, sync and blood?))
((One of Cyrielle's friends, Alfred Haze can induce interest rates in entities, such as by loaning multiplier. Think Merchant of Venice meets Wall Street. Except with magic. And if it comes down to it, he will be able to extract exactly a pound of flesh, if required.))

((Oh. Well then she's probably not interested. If she had to deal with some two-bit loan-shark for power, she woldn't be worth her name ))

[Empiricist]

((It isn't so much as by choice as much as it is by the limitations of his magic, since it primarily loans magic from reality. Which is apparently affected by interest rates and the stock market.))

[IamanElfCollaborator]

((Exchange rates:
Turns: about 35% of the debt?
Sync: 35%
Blood: 5%))

[Empiricist]

((So, the standard sync to blood conversion rate is 7.00? How would reserve bank interest rates affect it?))

[ragnarok97071]

<At this point, it's kinda a moot point, since I don't need no damn power boosts. Give me a target, and I'll go in and wreck their shit. I have not cut loose in WAY too long.>

((Not at all.))

((I predict a tremendous smackdown once antimagic measures get developed.))

((There ARE antimagic measures. Just that Yuri's family and IRIS are the only people with access to any.

And our group.))

((Oh, they'll become widespread at some point in the plot. Otherwise there's going to be no challenge for the PCs.))

((Not at all.))

((Aww... but I wanted to involve the stock exchange and reserve banks somehow... 
How would his rolls affect it? Since he'll be trying to minimize it for allies and maximize it for enemies...
Come to think of it, Alfred probably wouldn't want to anyway since it either erases blood from reality (if borrowing from reality) or randomly teleports blood to him messily (if borrowing from him).))

[IamanElfCollaborator]

((They were in the plot. And I never said that others couldn't have them. Just that they're not that widely available.))

((Interest rates can be halved for allies and doubled for enemies. Anything under halves/doubles and that's for non-crit success.)
