that sounds. bad. we have a fruit that, when eaten, gives the user about three months more of healthy life. i also make cure elixirs, which heal magical ailments. do either of those sound like they might help? also, um. there's one that feels like a smile and a hug. i'd like to send that to you, if you think it's safe. maybe? as long as they're not strong enough to maybe permanently kill people if something goes wrong (I've spent enough time on the River not to want to doom anyone there forever except maybe if they want to be) its probably worth trying. --although could the cure elixir maybe destroy what is keeping them alive too? does that other one help with nightmares? this has been more of my dreams recently which helps some but I could really use less of those. and if the others do not go horribly that should probably be safe enough. at the very least not worse than laudanum.

Lady of DeathI have 300 centals of gold of gold here with your name on it-you'll have to arrange your own transportation though.

I was under the impression that offworld magic doesn't work in your domain. I have a ritual to send you things, however to retrieve anything I would have to travel to your world and then send it from there. Another problem is that the ritual would place more than a kilojoule of Magic into your brain. If that Energy suddenly expressed itself differently you would probably die. Does anyone have an idea? Can the OTC transport it?

Niryl: in my world, there isn't anything that can permanently kill people, and potions don't go wrong. magic backfires sometimes, but that's casting, and if you're careful it doesn't happen a lot and it can only temporarily-kill you if you screw it up really, really badly, and don't take appropriate safety precautions. if your emotional state affects your nightmares, then the potion could help. otherwise- we have a potion that lets you go without sleeping, and another that lets you sleep less but get the same benefit. the first one could cut you off from the forum, but maybe Mother Starlight could get you a better connection? the cure elixirs should not remove any kind of beneficial magic. there's a more potent version that strips all magic, but this one just does harmful things, like curses. your world seems more a lot more hostile than mine, though. i'd like to try sending you some peppermint tea. it's the least magic thing i can make, so if it explodes on entry hopefully it won't be that big of an explosion? the tea is usually used when you've taken too many potions- that can cause nausea and headaches- but it's generally helpful when you're not feeling well. if nothing bad happens i can try sending you something slightly more magic? there's a kind of nectar that's made with the fruit i mentioned and some other stuff that i think is less magic than the fruit itself, especially in small quantities. i could send you a little bit of that. (it is alcoholic, but not very.) i'd really like to get you something better than laudanum. that sounds unpleasant.

I might be able to get Niryl a better connection, but I'd rather not try unless I have to. Their world is bitey.

in my world, there isn't anything that can permanently kill people What about exorcising ghosts? Did I misunderstand what you meant about that?

ghosts that get exorcised go to the netherworld for a while, but then they come back. tbh i am not 100% sure the netherworld is actually a place but no one will tell me anything and for obvs reasons i will not be obtaining this information experimentally.
if someone is repeatedly exorcised, they take longer and longer to come back, but as far as i know they always do eventually.

Lady of DeathWhile most magics that take information from or create portals to my world work, I strongly recommend that you, a magical being, do NOT come to my world. For reference, both Lioncourt and Xom have transported goods across the boundary of my universe.

As I assumed. Even if my mind didn't depend on Magic, the way back would depend on it. I have asked Lioncourt, but am also encouraging other posters here, or a price tag from the OTC. Also I would strongly prefer not to do anything that might explode four grams of your gray matter, even in the name of science.

I know how to take precautions with local things, mostly, but even if you tell me how it works there it may not translate very well if your emotional state affects your nightmares, then the potion could help. otherwise- we have a potion that lets you go without sleeping, and another that lets you sleep less but get the same benefit. the first one could cut you off from the forum, but maybe Mother Starlight could get you a better connection? think my emotional state matters some needing less sleep would be very useful the cure elixirs should not remove any kind of beneficial magic. there's a more potent version that strips all magic, but this one just does harmful things, like curses. your world seems more a lot more hostile than mine, though. hm. if it considers death being strange here beneficial effect (or simply cannot counter it) that should work then, however, I do not particularly expect it too. if nothing else I can probably find someone who wants to die permanently to have test something. i'd like to try sending you some peppermint tea. it's the least magic thing i can make, so if it explodes on entry hopefully it won't be that big of an explosion? the tea is usually used when you've taken too many potions- that can cause nausea and headaches- but it's generally helpful when you're not feeling well. if nothing bad happens i can try sending you something slightly more magic? there's a kind of nectar that's made with the fruit i mentioned and some other stuff that i think is less magic than the fruit itself, especially in small quantities. i could send you a little bit of that.

Thank you very much, I am currently arranging everything for the first of the rituals.
Anyone who is a god, Angel or any similar kind of holy being, I would really like one of you to perform a marriage ceremony for me. If the prototype goes well, I might be able to get a local Princess of Love to help, but currently I am limited to what money can buy.

Is a Queen adequately holy?

It's definitely better than what I've currently got. Edit: On second thought, it seems Equestrian Magic doesn't like Queens and Kings AT ALL. King Murderkill of Floorplan 21 of the frozen wastes turned out 38% less effective than my cat. Queen Chrysalis of the Changelings by 82%, but that could just be because Changelings and weddings seem to really don't mix.

Well, kings and queens are not holy. Especially a King Murderkill.
Lizzie, we do not have priority, but if you get enough potions we'll want to trade for them.
