... Plus they have Eve. She could make each room a damn castle without an appreciable mana cost. So there's that.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

The Principal is also fucking omnipotent. He doesn't give a shit for your energy costs.

The lasers aren't illusion, they're foxfire. Illusions are constructs fueled by foxfire. Big difference.

As for changing water color. Just add food coloring.

If you can do something through mundane means easily, then you shouldn't do it through magic. Reliance on magic is a fairly pointless crutch, magic is a tool to be honed, a sword to be sharpened. Not a toy to be played with by children.

You know who else thinks like this? Aes Sedai. And they're also sexist assholes.

No but seriously it's a tool, if you don't use it when it's useful why have it?

[BlitzDungeoneer]

The point HD is making, I think, is that you made up kitsunes being able to laser things when, IIRC, they have never shown any powers like that in their lore.

[~Neri]

There are many ways to make lasers. Generally it's through throwing energy at something in a stream.

There are many tools for the same job, useing the right one at the right time is what matters. Generally you don't want to summon a castle overnight. That tends to make the normies curious.

I'd probably agree with HD, except I'm guilty of that myself with domovoi, so I'd be quite a bit of a hypocrite if I did. I see the sentiment, though.

Of course, domovoi in real life lore are basically more helpful poltergeists who only make your milk sour if you piss them off rather than for shits and giggles.
There will be times- for example, hosting eldritch abominations like Ethrcon or humanoid abominations like Torimus and Celia- where mundane methods won't cut it.

Considering this school, magic should basically always be considered as a regular tool, not a last-ditch option, for one.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

Except domovoi don't have a lot of lore to begin with, from what you've told me.
Kitsune, well, do.

You're misunderstanding.

You don't make a castle instead of a room. You turn the inside into a reality marble that has a castle in it.

You only do that if normies don't have a chance to wander in.

Except they probably have supnats to service the supnat rooms. But that's why I didn't say it was a good udea, just that at that point using magic for a couple extra beds is nothing.

[Adragis]

Since when was Celia a humanoid abomination?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Since she was essentially made of magic and basically risks blowing the house to hell if she tries to use magic?

I think.

[Adragis]

Oh, I gotcha.
It's kinda more like 'she's literally overflowing with perpetually generated energy' than 'made of energy', though.

[~Neri]

However the whole school is at the hotel. Including the normies. Supernatural services aren't really an option. There are seemingly fewer supnats then there are normies. Magicing the supnat rooms would have a less then notible effect.
