And here's one of the core things with Ars, the notion of this 12th Century understanding of the universe. How do you make things cold? Remove heat? Not in the 12th century understanding of physics I don't think. You add wind or air. Just like the winds blow cold. Duh.Heavy is far more clear cut than rust. At this point in history we're still running on humors and blood letting. Protecting something from oxidation? No. Isolating it from time and water is what's at stake. Time being the tricky part. Metal's essential nature is to rust. Heavy is observable.Nad by what rationale is metal 2 magnitudes in Rego Terram, but not Creo or Perdo? It's easier to make it than bend it? One could make an argument that it's not Rego at all but Muto, which is, again fine. But the underlying issue remains, why, all of a sudden, is there a change in magnitude for the technique? Has the form changed? No. And that's what the technique affects (check the e/a thing on that - I'm not sure) so why the shift in magnitude?If metal is so fundamentally different that it reacts the same way across all techniques, why not create another form, say Ferrum?Hmm... wonder if I can sell the GM on the character retiring to the lab to discover that and just go about my life playing grogs and companions?</blockquote>
