Outsiders? As in foreigners? As in xenophobia? I thought you were better than that.

1721087
Don't make me start quoting my Knights. Draigo though is completely off the table.

1721100
Outsiders as in anything summoned. Without proper protections in place, influences that could be undesirable could affect the summoner.

1721102
CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!

1721088
Hah!

But many of those are correct. Demons, most certainly. Necromancy is another one, and the Shadow is another. But I think you've missed a few.

Ley Lines can be a source of magic that corrupts the user, being a source of magic that exists outside of the magic user.

In addition, mental magic as well as certain other facets of magic can lead to corruption if used improperly.

1721110
That's it! I'm getting my codices, both Ward and the old one!

1721114
Is the mental magic itself really the source of corruption or wouldn't that be a personality flaw of the person using it brought out by the realization of their power? Although I guess the same could be said of necromancy and demonology... It isn't evil, just misunderstood...

1721117
Codices! Hah! What are you, an Ultramarine?

1721121
The fact of the matter is that these sorts of magic leave magic users open to influence from other sources.

1721128
I can understand demonpacts and vampire bloodpacts, but isn't the necromancer the one in charge of his little domain? the same with the mental magic user?

1721125
You dare to bring the Smurfs in on this? No, I'm from chapter six hundred and sixty six.

1721137
I don't even Warhammer 40k

1721137
Ah, the Gary Stu chapter.

1721135
It's all a matter of will. Mentalists rarely interact with the same mind twice, but necromancers and demonologists do, and the minds of the dead and damned work differently from you and I. They could be changing you ever so subtly, and you'd never even recognize it.

1721147
Gary Stu after Ward, not before. And I will not lay any claim to the abomination that he birthed in that god awful character. The model itself looks likes its crying with the unhelmeted head.

1721155
Ward's done worse to the 40K universe than the entire damned Heresy.

1721150
Well, we're all changing ever so slightly over time. I doubt you are anywhere near the same person you were ten years ago, although I can see how the tortured souls of those you have bound to rotting shells that may not even be theirs would be a bad influence.

1721150
So like playing a game I think was called telephone. The starting message gets a little more distorted the more individuals get added in to the game until the message is completely different.

1721159
And that's where we have our problem.

1721161
Exactly right.

1721162
The soulbinding or the shambling violent flesh-hungry abominations?

1721158
Amen to that. His rules may be tight, but his background/lore/fluff, whatever you want to call it, is almost worse than the worst fanfiction.

1721165
Soulbinding is a completely different thing altogether. I'm talking about sorcerers with more power than sanity laying waste to entire towns in the space of a night.

1721171
Well, maybe not the whole town. Fillies and colts are quick and small and it's easy to miss one or two of them...

1721171

But surely sanity is a relative thing in the world of magic?

1721168>>1721171>>1721174

Hi!

1721176
Everything is relative to everything if you think about it too hard.

1721174
And sometimes prone to acts of idiocy like running into a building or to an adult figure and not questioning whether or not they're with the big bad magic user flambeing the town.

1721174
That's the sort of talk that will earn you some very strange looks in the magical community.

1721176
Surely, but there is a point of no return.

1721180

Well of course.

But then it just gets too difficult to actually define anything from it's own properties.

Well I guess you could define it by its relation, but that would take too long.

1721183
Sometimes I make morbid jokes that aren't funny...

1721183

I think the point where they hire someone called Igor could be a warning sign.

1721187
Let's hope you don't work with any of the Grey Sisters then. Never a sense of humor with those nags.

1721189
Half a bit says I could get one of them to crack a grin eventually.

1721188
Quite.

1721190
Or they'd crack you in half. Take their job seriously, they do.

1721192

Yoda? What are you doing here?

1721192
And as a lead in for another time, will we find out who or what the Grey Sisters are?

1721192
Oh fooey.

Alright, so that's all for tonight. no homework, but if you wish to know more about any of the threats, PM me after class.

RNG, can't find my notes on the Changelings, but I'll get them to you tomorrow and you can look through them

Wednesday is magical creatures, so be sure to be ready by then!

1721197
Think you've already learned that. Look at the class for Clerical disciplines.

1721199

Can I have a look at those Changeling notes if you find them too?

1721201
Sure thing. They're in my grey book.

1721188

Hold up the lightning rods, Igor. Bring me the festering zombie flesh, Igor. Stop crying and give me your brain tissue, Igor. If he doesn't start being nicer, I might consider quitting.
-Igor, assistant to Zulthir the Ghoulraiser

1721200
Well then...off to look I go.
