Title: Storm Front and the Soul
Post by: Mindflayer94 on July 05, 2010, 10:43:45 PM

I've been re-reading Storm Front recently, and I noticed an interesting passage (Harry speaking of his soul):

Quote

I did't know what they saw when I looked in there-it wasn't a place I poked around much myself (Page 35)

Does that mean that a wizard can see into their own soul? If so how would a spell that does so work in DFRPG.

I would rule that it does work, using a thaumatgury (making the impossible possible), using a complexity 12 divination spell (Due to the multiple facts you can gain ex. how others wizards judge your soul, based on how dark it is).

I have a feeling it was more of a tongue in cheek way of saying he doesn't do much introspection.

Course, then again, we are talking about guy who has regular chats with his subconscious...

To be fair he hadn't done that until the next book  ;)

I've got a feeling that if you did find a way to soulgaze yourself in game you'd be in trouble; like looking in to a reflection of a reflection of a reflection, true mental regression - it's you all the way down.

Still, an insane wizard is a fun wizard. Extreme mental consequence: 'Malkovich Malkovich Malkovich'
