Sandboxing Prompts

[Ezra]

That sounds pretty fun. Learning a language? That gives you magic powers? Right up his alley.

Sandbox template: Tireh gets out of her world without Charp assistance, lands on [whatever].

[Kappa]

Ooh, what worlds have fun immortality systems she could frantically steal...

[Unbitwise]

If she lands somewhere without immortality (but with human-style lifespans), what kinds of things would she seek instead?

[Alicorn]

Magic to do cheaty glowficcy interactions with songburning with, tech that is of use to shorefolk (shorefolk are not super into tech, though).

[Ezra]

Tisvetaia preservation comes to mind as a compatible but interesting immortality form.

I’m surprised she hasn't tried burning a computer yet, at least not in thread. That’s probably the first thing I’d try once I knew what they were and had one spare. You can fit a lot of information in your hand with just 2016 Earth technology and you can copy it out very quickly even without a demon. A PADD or Revelation thumbnail computer or whatever Space or the Andalites user would be even better.

Failing that I’d want a hardcopy dictionary or encyclopedia or whatever reference works best.

[Unbitwise]

Don't you still need to know the information (and forget it in the process)? My understanding was that the writing just allows for a higher density (information-per-time put into the magic) and as a consequence of that, stronger effects, than singing-and-forgetting-while-you-go does. So the primary limitation is on how fast you can learn, and computers only help with transcription.

…Can you burn something you know but somebody else wrote?

[Alicorn]

You need to know it but printed or other-written representations work.

[Timepoof]

For the Epic in Syntropy idea: he's a demon and the Lone Power is like, entropy, so that's another way that would be absolutely amazing on top of the magic language thing.
