This is a good example of an axiom. Abstract enough to give you freedom, but clear enough to define an 'expected' personality.

Not 100% sure where you are pointing to. Bayearth is surrounded by mountains. I spot two trianglular coves south of Bayearth: one where the mountain meets the sea, and one where it doesn't. Both are within that inlet between the mainland and the straight island.

Where the inlet Reach's the triangle shore, at it's deepest point.

Might help to not be limited to my phone. But I'm pretty sure it's the one reaching toward the mountain range.


Just to be sure, what areas would an inborn Flight Circuit fall under for use? I think it would be Igniter Wavecraft. Maybe Tempestry as well. All level 1 for close Gain..


Other than the more obvious birth process.

Ignition does not concern your nervous system, but rather a self-propagating signal in the mist. Generally it is not a part of any biological or mechanical design.
Your Wavecraft die does not strictly represent something intrinsic to you, but mainly your skill in use of wavegears. Hence unless a wavegear is part of your body, you wouldn't need to know Wavecraft to fly.
Tempestry is a direct interface between nerves and mist. If it is your nervous system--or a specific cluster of nerves in, say, your wings--that commands the mist, then it would fall under Tempestry. This is your best bet.


That being said, if your flight is subconscious then you don't need to constantly roll every turn just to avoid falling. What I'd probably do is just alter your Neural Amplification Table:
+1: Whole hand/foot
+2: Both hands/feet
+3: All four hands/feet, or one whole arm
+4: Two arms or a leg/wing
+5: Both legs or both wings
+6: Both legs and wings
+7: Everything but your head
+8: Everything.


This way you can use your wings to amplify your rolls, but if you mess up then you'll temporarily lose the ability to fly. In the above table your torso ends up counting for less. Losing your torso doesn't incur obvious impairments but it will result in death if you don't get it healed... so the tradeoff here is short-term vs long-term.

It is mostly subconscious, yes. But toggling it on and off, as well as moving at the higher speeds will likely require that. Mach 1 being the max in a straight flight path, anything approaching 1/3 that or so requiring higher checks. Or you simply fail.

General day to day flight is simple enough though.

Well, magic can do a lot more than propelling a body at mach 1, though I think you'd have trouble surviving if you go that fast. ;)

Bingo. A forest around the mountain area near the bay.

And some form of slip and reinforcement is standard. Being able to move that fast means nothing if you have no way to survive it.

And yeah,magic can do more, this is just a base skill Archetected in. Adding the rest above is also important.

I think I finally understand how this works. Looks like it'll be fun anyway.

(5) You manage to struggle free of the guards and sprint to a safe distance before tossing a knife at one! (5 + 1 = 6) The throwing knife zips through the air, slitting a guard's throat! It then travels around the group of guards like a boomerang. It (5) Slits another throat, (Three 6's in a row!) decapitates three more (!), (4) slices open the last guard's arm, and (2) narrowly misses a random bystander. It then flies back into your hand. Holy crap.

Immortality like that would be even more game breaking than four Aaron's in one place.
You're both so obviously scum that this is a surprisingly difficult decision.

Say you had the following:

A: Lv3
B: Lv2
C: Lv1

A would cost 6 points, B would cost 2 points, and C would cost 1 point, for a total of 9 points.
