...fair enough. Since the topic came up, I feel like tossing out a few
questions...
- Do a woman's cycles have a different "character" depending on the
season? (Almost certainly! PMS is probably nastier in Fire Season...)
- Do the cycles continue during Sacred Time, or does that put everything
on hold?
- For a Lunar, do the menstrual cycles exacerbate the normal cyclicness
of their magic? (e.g. just as magic waxes and wanes over a week, and
over a 56-year "wane", it also waxes and wanes over the menstrual
cycle--yes?) If so, is menstruation the peak or the nadir of power? And
what about pregnancy? (Proposal: A Lunar woman's magic gradually wanes
during pregnancy, then grows for an equal time after the birth--just as
the first "wane" was a period of growth after Sedenya's birth.)
