girl talk. The most heavily encrypted and coded form of speech in the multiverse. No one but a fellow speaker can hear it let alone understand it. Awesome chapter as always. Nice to see Star again. I hope she sticks around as a recurring character or one of the main cast. I'm probably wrong on all accounts but I have a gut feeling that Ash might teach Star his Nirnian magic. As, unlike Unicorn magic which is species based, Nirnian magic is not and can be learned by anyone if they have the aptitude. And her being fascinated by it when they first met Gave me a bit of an inkling that this might happen. Here's hoping.
An exciting and highly welcome development, and one you handled well. Cant wait for Friday!
A thought, why didn't Ash ask for the vampire perk? Eternal life, more abilities etc.
Granted he would have to consume blood, but it's not like he has to drink to kill, just small sips to get by.
On second thgought why didn't Ash go full op?
Unlike most Displaced he knows what's his purpose is and what's going to happen within his lifetime, a battle royal between the displaced, so why wouldn't you want to have the most op powers?.
Like what will happen if Ash has to fight someone with the powers of Goku from regular Dragon Ball, he would die in an instant.
So why not take the best power set to prepare?

I think it's more due to Limitations than anything else, He is limited by the amount of Magicka he has and to gain more he has to Expend it to "expand" his reserves. This keeps him from going OP from the start, He COULD contact a Sympathetic Aedra or Daedra (Akatosh, Hercine, Talos, ETC) for a Boost but that comes with cavats and consequences depending on who he contacts. So really the more he Expands his Reserves the more he will gain and thus the more he will be able expend to gain more, if he were to spend 3 hours a day for one year he could match Twilight in magical power if he wanted.
On a Side note: Writer of Fantasies, you could set Ash up to meet Hercine as in Ponyville Mysteries: The Tail of the Timberwolf Twist is turned into a Werepony so really Hercine might ALREADY have a limited Influence over Equestria

I think you missed my point, I was referring to when Ash was talking to God and had to choose a power set from a work of fiction movies, games etc.
Ash was told that he would go against people who had a similar choice or a random power set.
So why choose something so weak like Skyrim magic?
Almost anything from any other work of fiction will trash Ash.
Even the weakest scrubs from any anime will trash him, like Naruto from episode 1, even if Ash was an arch mage.
The reason I like the merchant is cause it's random, the person doesn't know what he'll get or what's his purpose, if he knew why wouldn't he pick the most op power set.
Who here wouldn't pick an op power set?
9357622
But what would you do if you didn't know jack shit about any anime? That was the petition Ash found himself in, so he chose something he knew.
9357752
Fair point, but what about other works of fiction? Ash supposedly read a lot, and it's impossible to not know any work of fiction.
Plus Ash did mention that he knows some anime at least the most popular ones like Naruto DBZ Bleach ect.
He knew mlp so he could ask for Discords chaos magic that is somewhat op if used properly.
Here's what I would told God.
Me: I want the power of God, your power.
God: I can only grant you powers from works of fiction.
Me: Bible is a work of fiction
God:............ (punches me to hell)
Me: I REGRET NOTHING!!!!

I think it's more that without the Game Engine Limitations Skyrim Magic has no Upper Cap, it's a Scary thought really.
Think about it like this, The more he expends his Magicka > The More his Reserves expand > The more he can then Expend > Ad Infinitium. He isn't Of the Bat OP, but over time (VERY short time I might add) he will be as strong if not stronger Magically then the Royal Sisters.
It get's even MORE scary should he be able to Replicate other Powers for Example: The Rasengan! it's Compressed Chakra which Fallows the Same Principles as Firebolt Hint Hint
But really he has the POTENTIAL to be OP and that's what matters :D
9357752
Now that he brings it up, His potential is down right Scary and I can only just Imagine the shark like grin you have on when you are writing these chapters
9358411
If it will follow game logic all that will add to Ash being able to cast spells longer and more times and nothing else.
A fireball will still do nothing against a rasengan.
Skill levels in each school of magic lover spell Magicka cost by 0.25% per level, so at max skill level Ash will get 25% Magicka cost reduction.
Spells damage does not increase whatsoever, it will only unlock higher tier spells, but even master level spells have nothing on other abilities from other works work of fiction.
Rasengan is a wind based/pure energy based attack which neither element exist in Skyrim magic.
If I had to choose magic based abilities it would be black magic from "Slayers" there's nothing like nuking a mountain with a Dragon Slave or if I get desperate just wipe out the world with a Giga Slave.

Note I said WITHOUT, he is NOT limited by Game Mechanics as far as I know.
9358434
Sorta true, the author obviously ditched the idea that destructive spells have to be used on enemies to improve skill, so there are differences.
I still will say it's a poor power set when he may go against people who can bench press a planet.
As for the infinite potential, that's just dumb and it can literally apply to anyone.
9358456
Uh, no Oblivion had that Mechanic but Skyrim doesn't, Skyrim is using a Stripped down version of the Oblivion Magic system.
9358467
I'm literally playing Skyrim right now with a full mage build, and let me tell you most of the school's in order to level up have to be used on a target or during combat.
Only the school of illusion can be trained without anything, just keep recasting mufle and in 20 mins you'll have level 100 in illusion.
Edit.
Sorry Alteration can also be trained by itself with the telekinesis spell.
9358467
Oblivion does have an interesting system where you can create new spells.
You can make a spell that burns and heals the caster allowing you to train both Destruction and Restoration at the same time.
Regardless of game both schools always required a target to lvl up.
9358478
Right sorry I was thinking about the ability to use Target spells in Obilvion on Training Dummy's to train them up in the Arena, my bad!
But really I think Oblivion had the better system and if I had the money I would buy the Author a copy of Obilvion GOTY edition so he can get a taste of a GOOD Magic system
9358498
Unless you were using mods that never was a thing in Oblivion, Destruction and Restoration can only be trained on live targets.
As for different magic system to each thier own, I personally prefer Skyrim more streamlined perk system.
9358514
Really? I used to use the Dummies in the Arena to Level Destruction! Did they remove it? They were considered Living beings XD
Will have to check it out later when I reinstall Oblivion!
But still his their own I guess, we just need to wait and see what he does I guess?

I could totally settle this right now but I haven't because of two reasons:
1.) It would be revealing spoilers that I really don't want revealed and can't even hint at without doing so in an incredibly obvious manner.
2.) Reading the debate about why Ash should have chosen some other power has been incredibly entertaining and even given me three ideas.
9358988
Goo on ya, I am glad to have given you some idea's
But really, I think we can all agree that OP or not what matters in Long Term and what he gains! I can see no less then a dozen way's he can go and what he can do
cool story so far)

Here is a Solution to the Whole mortal immortal Problem , find a way to turn ash into a Vampire.because if i remember it Right vampires are canonically immortal . i'm Fine with him simply asking God for it ,finding a spell for it or any other way for it to Happen.

I mean he does still have two as-yet-unnamed blessings and given the way things are going it should be pretty obvious what one of them is going to be, at least in its effects.
Also, I did not expect to love this story as much as I do. Well done. May it not be ruined by crossing over with someone more interesting in waving their self insert's dick than actual content.
Or worse, crossing over with a slower writer.
i have the feeling that the next chapter is gonna become a christmas present
i have the feeling the story is one : just taking longer to update or two : it's gonna go into hiatus
So I'm going to pronounce his name as ashphile. Just so you know.

They're also not only undead but tied to Molag Bal much as the various weres are tied to Hircine. As Ash's and the princesses' characters are portrayed, that is not even worth consideration. The very thought being abhorrent to them.

Fiddler on the roof. One of my favorites.
Holy shit! I totally forgot you were the one to write "Daedalus' new world!!!"
9396245
Hmmmmmm. Sooooouuunddddsssss familliiiaaarrr........? Maaaaaaaybeeeeee..........?????????
*does quick gsearch*
The film adaptation? Cuz I haven't watched it, but I just might. And maybe I heard it from another in reference to this one. Thanks for responding!
9396544
This one. Also the second is a song from it. It won't spoil anything so you can watch it. It's one of my favorite songs period.
9396599
Mkay, I may sit with my mom and watch this 'un later.
9396630
It's a good one. Hope you enjoy it.
9396655
I hope so! Seems like a good 'un.
There this whole bit about needing consent to cast something on another being, yet Celestia casually teleports him out of the room. I'm guessing consent is just something the peasantry needs then.
