Can beasts fly if you don't have the skill in beastmastery, yet they have wings and you use another method of flight (ie they follow you and don't fall down)?


If you can fly using other methods, the beast will follow you. The skill thing only applies if you try to use the beast itself (ie. mounting it and spurring it) as the method of flight, rather than using an altogether different method of doing so.

-mancy is from manteia, which is Greek for divination. Hydro- would be the Greek prefix.

I always thought it was a latin term. Huh. So in that case, why do we have a latin word on a greek suffix?
What would be the full-latin equivalent? Same question for Geomancy?

Also when you Heartburst somebody, does their heart pop out on the ground, like a skull or a scalp?

If the answer is no, I want it to happen.

1) The Romans used it as a word root too.
2) We don't speak Latin or Greek. We speak English. Why do we put -tion on all sorts of non-French words?

English runs other languages into back alleys, beats them down, and rifles through their pockets for new vocabulary.
