Haha, no, those are needles. Everyone seems to forget they have a purpose other than holding esteem.

Stick 'em with the pointy end!

You can get 6 negative spheres if Papaxi is sextile or quincux from Sun AND Papaxi modifies Sun strength for that specific casting. This is because a sextile Papaxi is square to one of the signs semisextile to Sun, and thus produces a quincux result if Papaxi modifies Sun and because a quincux Papaxi is opposite from one of the signs semisextile to sun, producing a square result if Papaxi modifies Sun. This is the case for precisely 1/3rd of all dates.


I found my spreadsheet and don't think you can ever get six (without Butterfly, which is nifty to know) even with Papaxi because opposite spheres cancel each other out. It seems you can always get four negative spheres and have a chance of five unless Papaxi is conjunct, opposite or square to Sun. So 2/3 of the positions have a slim chance at five.

I know almost nothing about the complexities of Astrology... but I thought the Syzygy was what allowed the six spheres.

Is there any way to have paintings not begin with a capital letter when doing the PAINT HERE trick with manse rooms? Would prefer to not have, 'a painting of A something I want to paint.'
Shulamit2011-08-16 15:25:03
I just put caps on all the letters in the painting then, so only the a painting of isn't using caps, since it looks ok in my mind that way. I use to dislike the first word only being caps, so I changed to that style, yep.

No way around that unless we get an ability in Arts to make custom paintings. One alternative is to give the painting a more formal title, like 'The Knight' instead of 'A guy on a horse' (or, using Shulamit's strategy, 'A Guy On A Horse').

Are you making a painting for me? dazed.gif

Figured a painting would be easier than another play, heh.

Nah, syzygy enables an awesome ray but the spheres would be the same as conjunct (as Sun and Papaxi would be in the same sign), so a maximum of four negative would be possible.

Unless there's special szyzgy stuff. Or I'm just wrong.

All the syzygy affects is Stellium.

75 ego per tic, I think.

I get 101, and I'm only at apprentice. 75 is the mana drain I get.
Ssaliss2011-08-16 20:04:14
You sure you're not ticking another regen at the same time? I get 50 per 75 mana at Expert.
Lilia2011-08-16 20:25:29
It's possible. I always thought enchantment regens ticked at the same time, but looking closer, I'm only regaining that 75 mana, no ego. I guess beauty and performance tic at the same time. So 101 minus whatever beauty regen is.
Ssaliss2011-08-16 20:26:39
From the top of my head, beauty regen is 5% of max ego.
Lilia2011-08-16 21:42:24
That doesn't seem right, because it's always been 101, and my charisma varies, and I get ego blessings sometimes too.
Rivius2011-08-18 18:12:15
what percent of health, mana, ego is:

-Tosha
-Throne of Urlach?

Also, how long do these last?

I must be missing something earth-shatteringly obvious, but... how can you have six negative astrological spheres on someone at one time (as Meteor mentions spelling certain doom) if at any given time only five spheres are negative (the ones at square, quincunx, and opposition to Sun), and two of those are in opposition to one another (the ones at square to Sun)? Isn't four the most you could have?

You can get five with a lucky Papaxi. Probably six too, if you were really trying and/or were lucky.

Edit: Derp, ignore me, I was totally on the wrong page.

Is there a way to transfer the harvesting privilege of a manse commodity producer to someone else? The commodities are of no direct use to me, and it was meant as a gift for a friend, so I'd rather not have to be the only way he can make use of it.
Ssaliss2011-08-18 22:38:17
Hmm. There's a way to give room-privs to someone to let them alter the desc etc. of a room, right? That might work? And if it doesn't, it'd be a good thing to IDEA...
