Hey, hang on, it was Gbaji who did that, Nysalor's evil twin! Nysalor is the good guy that brought us Illumination, remember? Gbaji was created when the Council was broken by those nasty Trolls.
I hadn't really thought about it much. It really does make Truestone an enormous responsibility, if spells cast into it can't be renewed until they have been cast out, and vastly increases the chance that any found truestone has spell storing capability, but no spells left.
What would happen if a Vampire picked up a blank Truestone? Would all of his stolen divine magic go into it, or would he be burned away from it too soon? That would be one poky piece to have, if only you could pin down a Vamp and strap it to his hand for long enough ...
I would be interested to see it, so it's worth contacting him and asking how far he got, anyway.
Sandy's Sorcery rules cover this to some extent with the "Hold" art, but it falls short of letting the Sorceror store it in an object.
Yes, but the early Christians were deliberately assimilating the traditions of the pre-existing religions, such as yule=christmas, sunday=holy day, etc. Hard-liner (most?) Malkioni deny the validity of these foreign gods as named entities. Also, it is very difficult to get rid of traditional names, look at how far the french revolution got with its new month and day names. The only remnant of those "changes for change's sake" was driving on the wrong side of the road. The Malkioni don't have a preexisting pagan culture with it's pagan ways and traditions, do they?
I've been away for a few days, hence the broad range of digests quoted here!
