(When I thought I could teleport all the parasites away it was a bit late. The very first thing I thought when I woke up was "How did I possibly think I could teleport
millions of zombies without Essence?" Then I wake up and see that they're actually giant bugs and I realise I had no chance of getting them all.)
color=navy]What in the name of the council are you showing these people, Malakath!?[/color]
"How to feel magic inside themselves and cantrips. This shouldn't be happening or else we'd have heard about such dangers of magic long ago. Another god is interfering.""She's probably showing them blood magic."
"Beginner blood magic basically amounts to breathing exercises. I highly doubt that's enough to dismember people. Besides, that's not what's being taught."Malakath's tutorials have received showings of countless people of various backgrounds. A substantial portion seem unable to use even the simplest of magic at all during the tutorials. There is a surprisingly high rate of assorted injuries ranging from minor cuts and bruises to loss of limbs or senses or even death even for near-trivial spells in those who attended.
I revive those who've died and haven't reincarnated/gone to not-Heaven and return the limbs and senses to those who've lost them. The Sanatores are sent in to heal everyone else.
"Attention, everyone. Another god is attempting to prevent the education of safe magic-use. For this reason, no more lessons will be held in my temples. Instead, those who are willing may learn magic in the Plane of Battle where all injuries and deaths are non-permanent."I take a closer look at their souls while they're using magic. What's going wrong, exactly? Do they somehow have less magic than those gifted with it before the proposal passed? Are they attempting to use too-high-level spells? What exactly is causing the dismemberment? Magic overuse's symptoms basically amount to different degrees of unconsciousness and death rather than physical injuries. Are they Void worshippers?
Some people who used to make Void pacts for mundane things continue to do so.
I ask them why they would continue making Void pacts when they can do mundane things on their own (accidents not-withstanding). Do these pacts still work?
Fusil's method, whatever it is, seems to be very successful but seems to be as unwieldy as having a band of traveling musicians moving from town to town. Much monster death occurs with minimal structural damage, and the streets end up mostly dry and easily cleaned. Perhaps the legends of The Janitor are true?
I go to the Library and ask its guardians about a book on "The Janitor". Asking the guardians is probably much more efficient than simply looking for them. I read up on as many useful books on the Void as I can.
Those that attempt to inhabit space around Keshan seem to die quickly.
I close my eyes and concentrate. Using my godly intuition/sixth sense/whatever, I determine why they're dying near Keshan. Regardless of if that works or not, I ask those who died about what exactly happened. I made them so they'd almost certainly have worshipped me as their prime deity and as such would've gone to Heaven.
Do the parasites bleed?
