Please disregard in its entirety my recent post on Superiors and Dissonance. I was flipping through Khalid's description, and it mentions that when he loses faith in his own beliefs "a vicious, dissonant circle" begins. So, Superiors are in fact subject to Dissonance. Not to mention(just to further demolish my own argument) that Malakite Superiors must have some kind of consequences should they ever disobey their oaths, I daresay. Sorry, spoke in haste. William ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 23 Sep 2000 15:46:23 -0400 From: "William J. Keith" Subject: IN> Swipe Some clarifications on the Janus/Valefor's Swipe attunement as printed in G:IN, please: 1.) The grammar is unclear. The way that seems most logical to interpret this is the the celestial can swipe the object regardless of whether he/she is being watched, with disturbance happening if someone sees the disappearance or reappearance. If I have this right, how much disturbance is generated? 2.) What if the celestial swipes a corporeal object and then ascends to their Heart? Does the object (deep breath) reappear, popped out of wherever it was, next to the celestial's last position? stay held in potentiality, inacessible, until the celestial returns to Earth, whereupon the object immediately reappears if the requisite time has passed? appear in some celestial or ethereal form, possibly with functionality seriously altered, as part of the celestial's image? (The attunement does say "wherever" the celestial is... ;^) ) vanish forever if the celestial spends more than the allowed time on the celestial plane? reappear next to the celestial's last position on Earth if sufficient time has passed? 3.) What about a Kyriotate using this attunement? Can they "pass" the object from one host to another while it is in potentiality? What about all the above questions regarding a Kyriotate who swipes an object in one host which they then dispossess, possibly or possibly not having another host still available? 4.) There's a usual limitation on most such powers which is absent in this Attunement's description: namely, whether or not it can be used on living objects. After all, while "lving being" and "potentiality" seem fairly exclusive to me, a Cherub protecting a newborn baby, a small animal, or a valuable medicinal plant might find this Attunement *highly* useful, so it'd be good to know if this was possible.
