I don't know what you're asking about wrt Chelsea. He could learn to distinguish arbitrary kinds of artificial relationships given the opportunity to have a look at cases of them.

I think I'd let a metaraveler affect an artifact in the way that someone who's touching it can but from a distance.

Yup.

Love thing & mental opacity

There was a post in the thread where that was all written out, and for the rest of the thread I had that post open in another tab for reference.

Oh, I already finished reading the thread but I wanted an artifact reference. I am considering a sandbox around the concept...

edit: Also, thank you!

Back when the thread with Stalas was current I asked a question in Sandbox Discussions which I don’t think you understood correctly. I asked whether Annie could push Stalas the pushing power and then ask Stalas remove one of her drawbacks. You answered no because the drawbacks are still paired. I didn’t clarify what I meant by the question because by then it was clear that pushing artifact effects was paired with going to a new universe and my scenario would not work anyway, but I am still curious.

What I meant to ask was whether somebody with the pushing power could remove an artifact effect (both upside and downside) when they had not given that effect. If Annie finds her way home, could she walk up to somebody who had touched the vase and let them take a shower but not teleport? If Annie finds her way to the universe she just sent the Black Opal Guardian and finds she had been spreading faceblindness to nonconsenting victims, can she make them able to tell faces apart but become monolinguists?

Could this help with the Knife if so?
