Ok, can guess what my empire is RIGHT NEXT TOO.

Look, it's closed. Are you gonna attack my home system or not?

The only thing that would be sent to meet yours right now is an Imperial Guard regiment.
Whoops, sorry.

How about a compromise, Arcane forces are able to "catch" one of Laz's battlecruisers, but the others escape.

You didn't post issuing a burn order to your embassy to Nashtar, so it didn't happen. Lets have those documents.

Lazerus, I should point out that reetrofitting everything with hyperdrives will take a lot longer than the hour or so it will take the fast reaction forces to hit your empire....

I know, but it's this or scuttle them. At if, for some reason, they invasion forces are delayed I can flee with them.

And if not, I just scuttle them, so there is a slim chance of winning, and no chance of loosing.

Aly, I took all the spellbooks there were in that place- probably from a dozen different spellcasters. Did you smuggle ALL of them onto Earth?

Aly, lets take it back a step, shall we?

You destroyed books in my military's HQ, which is A mile under the earth, which would have jammers for every last sort of thing in it. That no fly under DS9 tech.

And if it did, then, you should have just casted a fireball destroying the entire complex from the inside? No?

How hard is it to place a microchip in a book, set the chip to remote, and set the book on fire?

Same principle. And with DS9 tech level, the remote works very well thank you.

They werent on earth sory, I wasnt clear, they were on the Dreadnought.

But look at it this way, would you be ab le to jam someone literally taking a piece of their soul back? Soul drain is what is represented by an XP cost.

And frankly, you commited an act of war against us by stealing those books and having the gaul to copy them.

Even if your methods work, Alyrium how did you smuggle a dozen spellcasters on to Earth with only a couple hour's warning?

So, the tape will self destruct, after my mages removed everything from it? And even then you need to get the signal to the bunker, remember? No fly.

Keep your panties on. This couldn't have happened with DS9 tech, so it didn't happen. No act of war, no second front for you.

Besides, it would be Galactic War III, not II.

How could you have copied down books in that time? They must be hand copied or the incantations are useless

It is not necessarily a signal if you paid attention, it is basically the mages saying "you know what.. that is my magic that enchants those pages, I will dispell it"

It is not a signal, but rather cutting off the magical power that flows through the pages.

And.. as I said, they are not on earth, they are in the dreadnought that is near mars.

He could take pictures, and then handwrite the words later, for instance. It's a pretty nebulous thing, anyways.

It is not a signal, but rather cutting off the magical power that flows through the pages.
So, wait, the magic in the book, which operates independetly of them (other wise you wouldn't be able to cast spells from other's books/scrolls) is told to destroy itself? And then the magic that's in the copied books too? (I figure I've got a half decently cadre of mages from the Skaven Refugees, they buddy up on each book [I'm guessing five books] so I would think I could get most of the books done in a couple hours)

No worky.

It'll be great when the Ousters buy some off of him. I'll wager with a better knowledge of Arcanist spellcasting techniques, our blackeyes will be able to improve their performance at countering magic significantly.
