Any Joker or Joker-blend in a universe where shrens exist is virtually guaranteed to be a shren.

JokerSherlocks don't naturally have anything to do with Tonies. It's not completely impossible, but it would take some weird circumstances.

I don’t think Lazarus et al have even wished up Leraal yet, but I’m wondering: what size coin, if any, would let you speak Draconic. I have four guesses:
  • A five, like any other language (seems unlikely, because Draconic)
  • A six, because Draconic is a magical language (this would also be the level needed for panliguism, I think)
  • A seven, because Draconic doesn’t even work with some kinds of translation effects (seems unlikely, because offworld translation seems to handle it)
  • You cannot learn Draconic with wishcoins, for the same reason a six might not be sufficient (seems slightly more likely than a seven being necessary and sufficient)
As you can see, I think a six is most likely, but I’m not certain.

Thinking about this has also made me want the Effulgence characters to wish for the ability to intuitively or sensorally know what wishes would fit on what coins (so they could know how difficult brute-forcing a new magical problem would be, or if they need to do several of the same kind of wish like with miracling shrens they’d know how many they could do at once), but that’s not particularly related to this thread.

Stella's aura feeds her the correct size of coin for any wish she contemplates.

I don't remember if this was addressed, but how did Elcenian!Aral and Cordelia meet? (I just finished Shards of Honor and am wondering how that was transposed, if at all).
