Agree 100%

So, over the weekend, I read a thread on this sub discussing the purpose of Dooku reviving the Blue Shadow Virus. The rough consensus was either as deterrence or that Dooku didn't approve it, that alien Mengele/Frankenstein was acting on his own, perhaps based on orders to create a virus targeted at clones.

While those are both fine explanations, I'm going to take alien Mengele/Frankenstein at face value. The Blue Shadow Virus was ordered by Dooku and was intended to be shot at Republic worlds. The question then becomes "why would he do this?" Even for Dooku, it would be almost comically evil.

The answer is that the Blue Shadow Wirus was intended for three people, all of whom happened to be on the same planet at the time of this incident. The only three people in the galaxy who Dooku saw as potential rivals - Palpatine, Yoda, and Mace Windu.

Now, you might be thinking, "wait, Dooku couldn't have been trying to kill Palpatine!" And yet he was. Such is the nature of the Sith. Such is the reason that he had already taken Ventress as an apprentice. Such is the reason that he leaked the information about the Sith controlling the Senate to Obi-Wan in Attack of the Clones. While it would have been an interruption to the Sith Grand Plan as Plagueis and Palpatine envisioned it, Dooku destroying the Republic, the Jedi, and Sidious in one fell swoop would have promoted him to Sith Master and allowed him to steer the grand plan whichever way he wanted. He would also likely destroy key worlds like Kamino, Alderaan, and apparently Kashykk. The galaxy would be his. The neutral worlds would naturally fall in line with the CIS.

As I said in the title, I consider this a longshot theory. But, what do you think?

I was wondering about Akashic Consors/Sorcerers, and sorcerers that use the Martial Arts Practice more generally. Specifically, I was wondering what Paths (besides Hellfire and maybbe Healing) they would use.

Basically, the idea I had in mind was for Light to enclose a photo of himself, with "this is the greatest enemy of Kira, these are four of his known names, kill him before making the Eye Deal" and none of them are real.

If you remember, misspelling the name in the Death Note four times accidentally makes the person on the other side immune to the Death Note. Near's plan at the end of the story revolves around the assumption that Mikami won't write the name of Kira, but if Kira rendered himself immune, that isn't a worry, and suddenly, Mikami writes the names of everyone in the warehouse.

All I could find about it in World of Darkness: Mummy Second Edition was that Ishmael said some bad things about Horus, and Horus exiled him. So, what bad things were said? What were his disagreements with Horus? Was he an anarchist? Was he just angry and wild, like his Biblical counterpart?

The crowning achievement of a mage's career, perhaps besides Ascension, might be the creation of a new Spell of Life. After all, the mage who originally did it (Isis) was deified. But what spheres would it take? I hope you'll explore with me.

​

First, Prime 5. Why? Prime 5 can create a Relic, a Living Wonder.

​

Second, also Prime 5. Why? Paradox nullification of course.

​

Third, Life 5 for the unaging.

​

Time 4 trigger for Life 5/Mind 5/Spirit 5 for the resurrection upon death.

​

Anything I've missed? Anything I've overshot? Should I add an Agama? Discuss!

I mean, basically the title. If only read WTA books, you'd think that Euthanatoi were, as described in the Black Fury Tribebook, "Wyrmspawn," completely unreasonable people who destroy anything in their path. Meanwhile, when you read the Euthanatos Tradition Book, you find that they started trying to rehabilitate someone who was an accessory to murder, and only actually killed one person, a (CW) >!pedophile!< who had >!raped!< and murdered at least a dozen children, crimes confirmed by mind reading. The Euthanatos Tradition Book also notes that werewolves claim that they're "Wyrm-tainted," and often try to kill them, but that they don't know what that means (which should be really easy to explain to them on the Garou's part, since the Euthanatoi have a form of the Triat).

Meanwhile, the Garou lose Renown for killing innocent humans, and even then, some Septs from what I'm told basically don't use that lost Renown, because they'll find a loophole to declare that that human isn't innocent.

So, why is that? Why do Euthanatoi get Wyrm-taint from killing Nazis, pedophiles, and evil magi, while the Garou can get away with killing innocent people with naught but a Renown loss?

While listening to a lecture by Dr. Justin Sledge, I discovered a new kabbalistic text that I had never heard of, Aish Metzareph, which combines kabbalah and alchemy. Sadly, the Hebrew edition does not survive, but it was translated into Latin, and translated into English. Here's the link.
