Can dragon lords approach wild magic like a science?

Are they theoretically able to create any wild magic spell with the right research? IE if Cure Elim had the time and patience, could he over thousands of years reverse engineer the dragon emperor’s spell and summon another reality?

Or could Tsaindorcus theoretically figure out how to recreate Ouroboros?

How are wild magic spells even developed? Obviously game mechanics don’t apply for wild magic. So do dragon lords have to study string theory or probability theory or some other rigorous field to derive their wild magic spells?

Philosophy of attraction and looks amongst Christian

I have recently had the thought that social skills can be learned just like any skill. Woodworking, sports, math, writing.

In my endeavor to fully understand social dynamics and how I as a Christian should comprehend them, I have taken to, with decent rigor, study different aspects of social dynamics.

One of the main aspects of socializing is romance. Particularly whether or not looks plays the majority row. And more generally how to identify what goes into attraction.

I have read somewhere in my research that if you are sufficiently ugly not even the “nicest Christian girls” will give you the time of day.

While one person, this sentiment is not as unpopular as I expected even in Christian groups. I do not wish for flowery words to make the truth. I want to get to the bottom, to dissect this aspect of social interaction as thoroughly as possible, even down to the precision of a proof. It is not achievable. But just like I have learned math and physics and biology, I wish to learn the many aspects of socializing beyond mere intuition.

From this statement I would like to understand more about a few things.

What we consider attractiveness and ugliness has a lot to do with physical health markers. Development, bone structure, facial harmony and other aspects. I have learned all of this from the controversial PSL scale, which even though rough and not entirely 1 to 1 with real life attraction often corresponds well to helping determine if a person is generally good looking or bad looking.

A prominent chin, robust jaw, good eye area signal masculinity signal natural high potential for athleticism and reproducing.

A woman with good cheekbones, eyes, and harmonious facial features likewise is healthy.

Instinctively we are drawn to be attracted to prominent indicators of good health and vitality have aversion towards undeveloped or sickly features. Sometimes even bad eye area can detract from appearance.

Other aspects of the face include markers for over masculine development which could be indicators of lack of impulse (outbursts) or some other behavioral issue (potentially due to chemical imbalance?)

But that is not set in stone. Someone like Jack Ma considered unattractive can still be successful and generally live longer lives than many attractive men in the past.

Many good looking people like Kurt Cobain die young living carelessly.

I personally believe physical attractive traits is simply an efficient solution evolutionary optimization arrived at, similar to a local minimum on gradient descent when training a AI model. With times and context attractive traits may even change.

What is ugly before might be attractive later, even through instincts, if the environment changes.

So why does seemingly arbitrary traits seem to be so important to influencing attraction?

God has assigned some men to some women and others due to their in attractiveness cannot find partners even if they are both believers.

If appearance really is the reason, why did God let a local heuristic of evolutionary optimization get in a way of a man finding his love? Did God knowing all things, make the man ugly to assign him the role of single hood?

The same applies to women naturally. If God wants a woman to be single is being ugly the means to cut them off from romantic opportunities?

No matter what is said about personality and attractiveness, even amongst fellow Christians you very rarely see Quasimodo with a pretty woman.

So is physical looks really that important? And if it is, why? When dissected it is not even a concrete measure of what people argue evolutionarily it is there to do.

God could do all things. And Lord Jesus is always right.

I have a few possibilities listed to attempt to explain what I perceive to be the reality as I described above.

  1. Looks matter to force people in celibacy or as a trial. (But surgery exists, so some people might just spend a few thousand to fix their face. Would this be overcoming the trial?)
  2. Looks and attraction are tainted by sin and play a way too disproportionate role in people’s assessment. IE, if I see a deformed person even with the exact perfect match to my personality I am still repulsed and go against God’s pairing for me. The issue is sufficient enough to affect even a significant amount of true believers in Christ to look down on or have disgust for less attractive brethren.
  3. Looks do matter but as a persons’ personality comes out of it truly is compatible will actually mix with the looks (for example, turning distinctive features attractive or unattractive into identifiers to advocate this person with rather than mere health markers) to form an accurate assessment of a persons potential as a partner.
  4. Looks do not actually play a role in Christian dating (ideally all Christians should date other Christians). I might have simply not closely observed enough group dynamics and personality followed the romantic pursuits of enough fellow Christians to come to the right conclusion.

Note: I have seen posts online of people recommending going to Church to pick up good looking girls. I do not know of the success of these people and how God has handled this. I have not heard about girls going to Church to pick up Christian men. But I didn’t do that much research. If they are successful however, it would mean Christians would rather sometimes date outsiders or blatantly fake even over their less attractive peers. Again, I am unsure if this would work. Would hide their true intentions too making this annoying to get to the bottom of.

Number 4 is rather time consuming and might be helped by people having discussions under this post.

It does not help that many proclaimed Christians might not be true believers, skewing my knowledge with their preferences for men and women.

I seek to fully dissect this aspect of human behavior. So please help me and give me corrections or add to my knowledge. I have presented my understanding for you all to review.

Is the black pill correct about how most humans think and behave?

A lot of people who are part of the community follow this YouTuber called “rehab room”, who openly put a clip of a person praising satan.

However, the ideas and concepts this system describes seem consistent to most observations of human behavior.

People put disproportionate value on appearance, and hold entitled pride in their hearts even when they did not earn their talents, looks, or status.

But the idea that lower than average men cannot attract women is also incongruent given that lower than average attractive women can attract men.

So if I want to fully understand human thinking is there aspects of this ideology that can be true and others that are evil or from the devil even?

Are humans without Christ Jesus really as vain as described by the black pill? Do most people really behave like wild animals, scanning faces for health?

Or is it a product of our times?

How in control of my intellect am I?

Sometimes when sleepy I find that ideas just do not flow, things do not connect. But concepts and potential solutions to problems just pop up when I am well rested. Intuition comes naturally and I can quickly visualize, double check, and then apply conscious review of my thought process.

But most of what I just described is subconscious. Even as I am typing this right now, it is not like I am reviewing the definition of each word. The thought and idea of what I will write is popping out of my head without, at least initially, my conscious control.

Why did God not give us full conscious control over what goes on in our mind, let us fully control how information is processed by our brains, how to utilize logic?

Is that way of thinking even possible? Technically it would require God to inject said truths into our minds in the first place, meaning we would not have come up with our thoughts ourselves anyways.

There is not independence of thinking for any creature right?

Regarding the great Gatsby

How can someone like gatsby be so misguided?

Instead of feeding the poor, he wastes his life pursuing a women. Instead of building houses or advancing technology, or becoming a world class researcher or philosopher, or even ministering or spreading the gospel he wastes time buying fancy clothes.

How come many people like Gatsby spend so long on introspection and thoughts and never leave their little corner and start focusing on God?

Furthermore people say Gatsby is a Christ figure.

Even if you mean he is emulating Christ,

Gatsby neither died selflessly, and he wasted his sacrifice on a random spoiled rich socialite in the form of Daisy his lover. He was also a criminal and scoundrel in my view. He wasted his time, lied a bunch, lived in excess, and took away resources he could have used to serve God with.

How can I feel anything but contempt for him when many people are chastised for being less wasteful than him?

From a Christian view where did Gatsby get led astray? Was it delusion to call him great at anything at all? Perhaps he would have done better to be handicapped and born poor and ugly? Then he would have acquired humility and perhaps repented to God?

Does Cure Elim’s dragon lord status supersede his status as undead?

A human that becomes undead no longer identifies as a human.

A demihuman that becomes a night lich calls themselves a night lich.

But even though cure elim became a vampire he still refers to himself as a dragon lord.

The same applies to players. Instead of being referred to as undead, Ainz is categorized more prominently as a player.

At a certain point does the title a being has besides undead override the fact they are undead in significance?

For example, I doubt anyone would care if a world enemy was undead or not or if a Ygdrassil admin arrived in the new world as undead or living.

Should I respect socialization as a valid skill?

I view socializing as a necessary intermediate step between my goal and where I am at. A thing that needs to be done to achieve an object or lead to information transfer.

Things like math, philosophy, and other aspects are more general. But socialization only serves as the transfer of that knowledge.

Why does society place such a big emphasis on oratory skill? Isn’t it detrimental to have the best talker be the leader? To have a person who isn’t as skilled lead a group of people?

Shouldn’t the best and most knowledgeable people be leaders, people who rigorously studied how social dynamics work, instead of someone trained on heuristics and natural ability?

As a Christian should I view socializing as a valid thing to study like math or science or is it just filler?

Most people who are good leaders, does their confidence really correlate to skill?

It was said that Maul’s technique was NEAR perfect when he fought Sidious after Savage died

The fact that he managed to land a blow on Sidious, if his technique was ACTUALLY perfect, would he have likely fought Sidious to a stalemate until reinforcements arrived or even beat him?

Mace defeat Sidious with Vapaad. Could Maul with enough rage and determination using Juyo do the same?

Question about Mormonism and bricks and minifigs

I see that the BAM company is trying everything to get away with stealing 200k (or less) worth or legos. Even down to trying to convict those that speak out and turning the police on them.

The costs are racking up for them way more than the cost of the stolen goods.

From a spiritual perspective what is the reason for this behavior? Is it simple human greed and pride? Or is it satanic possession?

Mormons worship an idol, a false god (I think they might actually be polytheist). So would this be demonic procession that is causing the ceo and store owner to behave like this?

Spell creation in DnD and fantasy alternative physics

In DnD you just come up with the spell effects, costs and then cast the spell as long as your mana pool allows it and your intentions are correct.

But even under that lax rules to factor in the effects of the spell on reality, edge cases, how to mana is converted into actual physical phenomena the complexity increases exponentially.

Realistically you would need extreme amounts of knowledge to make stable or reliable spells right?

In real life you need over a decade just to UNDERSTAND basic quantum physics and the equations that govern our reality.

That means at bare minimum to make useful spells like one that turns your body into an undead lich form or stop time you would probably need at least knowledge equilibrium to a world class physicist for remotely remotely impressive.

Especially if you are pioneering.

Even something relatively simple like computer programming which doesn’t cause natural phenomena to materialize still takes teams of many people to set up the hardware, the kernels, the compilers, the libraries just to run simple websites.

A magic spell that turns the raw energy of mana into say, a flying castle (around a mid tier spell) would probably require knowledge of mass energy conversion, how sudden materialization effects the surroundings, heat, displacement of matter, and quantum and macro effects. If the caster isn’t doing these calculations someone is. The weave itself would be a literal supercomputer making calculations that surpasses the largest data centers in modern times just to support the share logistics.

Did maul have a chance to win against sidious?

I’m f he continued to lead the crimson dawn, went into hiding and convinced Talzin to hold off on her plans, wouldn’t that give him the power advantage over Sidious and Vader?

Combined with the fermata cage, and the ancient super weapon, maul was not really limited in his potential.

Maul seems way too impatient. Every time he has even a little chance to even the odds against Sidious, he immediately jumps to confrontation instead of combining his resources.

If Fluder’s book is true (assuming wild magic made the contents real)

That all souls are fundamentally the same, then Cure Elim and Climb’s soul are made of the same material.

Theoretically would there be a way using willpower or focus or some fluke that grow the size of the soul or merge your “foam” with the waves themselves giving you power on par with theoretically, the dragon emperor, while being level 1?

Where do levels and classes come in? Is it possible to have a soul identical to a dragon lord but still be as weak as a human? Like a Skyrim level 1 player?

Or does your soul size directly correlate to data (aka classes, levels, skills)?

If we give someone like Neville the same knowledge a Voldemort and they duel, would Voldemort still win due to spell clashes?

If two people summon a giant fire snake would the talent of someone like Tom Riddle be insurmountable?

I personally think there is an innate advantage from magical aptitude. IE Voldemort probably has an easier time transfiguring, casting offensive attacks, intuitively grasping magic, and maybe even handling the underlying magic beneath all those branches. This means his shield charm will naturally be stronger than say, Newt Scammander’s and would be able to block Grindelwald’s flames.

However, it is not insurmountable. When Harry and Voldemort got into a deadlock, despite having the early advantage (Harry was losing the clash), Voldemort still lost the exchange.

Both of their wands had the same compositions, so the emotional state of Harry was sufficient to overcome Voldemort even with the same spell.

Voldemort in turn became briefly strong enough to overpower all three of his opponents when he was angered.

It is possible that to defeat Voldemort conventionally, you need to have sufficient willpower and focus above him, and knowledge and technique on par with him.

We know the professors were still able to fight against Voldemort, meaning he isn’t using some cheat impossible to survive curse in a battle.

We see that McGonagall is able to do the same things as Voldemort, but much smaller in scale and at a much slower speed without teleportation.

You would need to have superior reflexes, similar battlefield mobility using apparition, a counter to killing curses (if you do not want to fire your own in a quick draw) and transfiguration and dueling abilities of a top level wizard (at least on the level of McGonagall) and either greater determination or greater creativity or repertoire to Voldemort to stand on even ground.

This means practical approaches include:

- Physical enhancement (superhuman speed, flight, reaction time)

- Strong grasp of theory

- Force him to situations where a deadlock is certain (using the same wand, perhaps a location with special advantage towards the caster)

- Enchanted Golems (counters mind reading)

- Mind protection

- Constant pressure. (A simple free action by Fawkes gave Dumbledore the advantage and forced Voldemort to change tactics and attack Harry)

- Bush camper (probably have someone in wait to sneak attack when a “free action” opportunity exists

Together even Voldemort can be brought down.

How did the dragon emperor’s spell make a video game real, and reinterpret some spells to have realistic effects (death knight now directly takes over corpse).

If their souls are still with her due to her talent, and then she gets killed, the souls will be released right?

If you then use the ninth tier spell to bring the back to life, mechanically it would be the same as killing a new worlder, cremating them, and then using the same spell to reconstruct their bodies and move their souls back.

The soul should be moved into recreated bodies all the same right?

It isn’t like they are destroyed or in the possession of a dragon lord.

The strength of world items should be capped by the total free wild magic in the new world right?

So with Ouroboros the most powerful wish you could make would be:

I wish to be full control over all remaining wild magic in the world and freely control its behavior, including spell creation, with high level knowledge of its properties.

This would give you the entirety of wild magic as your reserves and the ability to use it. The most powerful any player can theoretically get.

From there you can probably try to access the sea of possibilities for more content.
