Is this game occurring simultaneously on the timeline with Wizard? Or is it at some point in the past or future?
It is occuring somewhere, but not anywhere near Reyk Figaro, so the two are seperate for now due to lack of a decent map of the world.
Not really sure how I'd make such a map anyway, there aren't very many well defined locations and they're spread all over the thread.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Assimilate wolves, and cow, and bull.

Explore smallest possible crystal-size capable of sustaining an unassisted swarm.

Theres no cow, it was the man mooing.
Can you explain the other part a bit more, though?

While assimilating wolves, see how small we can make our crystals. Can we make them small enough to hide under blades of grass? Can they act like sand? Can they be fine enough to be suspended in air and inhaled?

And it would be preferable if they could act without any larger crystals nearby. I would assume that it is possible to have an overly-specialised crystal that could not actually sustain a swarm composed purely of that type of crystal...

I was hoping for something like that from crystals coated in metal. Very tough, but detract from a form's ability to project force and need more traditional crystals nearby or else they lose their cohesion...

The minimum swarm size is 2. Singular crystals cannot by themselves hold the mana charge indefinitely, they'll burn out rather quickly and return to the immobile crystal they are formed from until reassimilated. The size of the crystals though, is likely changeable.

The major crystals will take charge if they are in the group, but if they are not there is no major difference to being able to act except less power on hand and less immediate focus.

Oh, yes, they would still require multiple crystals, but I was thinking that you might have a weak crystal that can only work if it is adjacent to two normal crystals. And could not actually form a swarm composed purely of weak crystals. But if there was sufficient normal crystals around to make the weak crystals active then you wouldn't notice much loss of ability.

It is time to dispense a secondary bump, should I be afraid?

No, just distracted by a Dune mod and an anime series.

Why have you started bumping after I bump?

That's 2 times now.
