Challenge #04409-L025: Lies vs Bent Truths

Healing spells also known as holy spells can be sorted into 3 tiers: low, moderate, High. The higher the tier the more complex the Magic will be, therefore consuming more Mana. For example if some individual was heavily poisoned and on the verge of death, a high tier healing is needed. The healing spell herstel although low tier can alleviate the symptoms and eventually cure the poison. But that will take days to weeks to fully cure.

With that information and on a completely different tangent; Necromancy magic by all technicalities is considered a high tier healing spell on a very late patient. -- Anon Guest

[AN: Had to change the name of the spell because I'm not allowed to mess with anyone else's IP and expect income for it]

One does not have to be hallowed to be a healer. It helps to have a god on your side, but it's not strictly necessary. Some have the knack for it in their body and spirit. In those cases, it's necessary to be a very good impersonation of a holy person. Patient, understanding, empathetic, and sympathetic.

All that said, there is only so much horseshit up with which anyone would put.

"It's the truth They don't want you to know," said the patient, Goodie Kari. "The right miasma can guard against enemy miasmas, and that protects us from the bad humors."

Lalaren took a deep breath, and instantly regretted it. Kari kept her house full of 'good miasmas' and thus stank of strong herbs and burning onion skins. Kari extracted oils from various things that should have been food and applied them instead of any other medicine.

Saturday, No Parkrun and Mor Pruning

Since the Christmas chainsaw has the exact sound profile of a toy, we're relatively free to go out pruning at the crack of dawn as well as the afternoon.

We were doing quite well this morning, until the battery ran flat.

We will get more branches cut down this afternoon. I've signed up the spawn to help out and spell me on the pruning work. Theoretically, we can get the branches away from the fence a lot faster than if it was

Challenge #04408-L024: Kharmic Realignment Well Overdue

The child keeps playing pranks on people despite being scolded. Then a very scary, but kind, individual helps them realize, that they can't keep doing that. -- Anon Guest

Don't pull on a horse's tail and act surprised when it kicks. Don't taunt a hungry dog and act surprised when it bites. But most especially, do not cross a Hellkin and act surprised when you get exactly what you deserve.

None of this entered Bili's head as they went into the markets

Friday, Fun New 'Hobby'

I waited until the afternoon when it was allegedly cooler. That was when the neighbour emerged and asked me to prune all the trees away from the fence line. And I can do that because Christmas chainsaw.

Beloved gives me the best toys :D

But, because firkin heat wave, including some of the worst weather Australia has seen, I can only use it in the afternoon. When it cools off a bit.

I will be getting help from Mayhem because there's a

Challenge #04407-L023: Celebration to Share

It's the Festival of Food. Everyone is invited to this world to try recipes from around the known universe. Needless to say, the Gyiik are the hosts. -- Anon Guest

Space, as a wise philosopher once said, is big. Really, really big. In a shared society like the Galactic Alliance, it spans dimensions that would boggle an ordinary mind. The number of civilisations and polities within it are also in numbers so high that they also boggle the mind.

Therefore it's no

Thursday, Brave Enough to Pitch

I'm a day late in doing Weird Writer Wednesday, about to commence my other offerings, and I'm expecting periodic loss of power and cooling because I'm finally getting the AC fixed.

So I'll be doing what I can as fast as I can. Until things are done and payment is settled.

I am going to force myself to at least pitch Adapting to PS Literary while I get things ready to pitch my other novels to two more agencies.

I am going

Challenge #04406-L022: Familiar Circumstances

This world is so cold our equipment fails often. The human is SO not built for this, with skin instead of fur, muscles instead of blubber. True their equipment never fails, but how is it, even with their suit, they never seem to feel the cold? -- Anon Guest

Every cogniscent species puts their home planet into what the Humans know as a "Goldilocks Zone" where everything is "just right" for life. It's almost natural for most cogniscents to go through an

Challenge #04405-L021: Where You Learn the Most

My teacher is THE Ancient Elf. I thought the lessons would be exciting, and, sometimes they are, but they're pretty mundane, too. I'm working hard, want to make hir proud. But now they're having me help another beginner, too. Wow, didn't know teaching was this hard.

What nobody tells you about learning magic is how boring the practice can be. How humbling it is to know how difficult everything actually was. Including re-learning

Wednesday, Technical Difficulties and So On

The internet is fixed!

I have my first physio happening in an hour. In half an hour, I take off to meet that appointment.

I need to remember to ask about cooling my heel on the evening stretchies cycle. And show off my new knee brace.

Fingers crossed, I get to post today's story before I launch.

After I get back, I'll work on the rant for this week. I have some worries about the state of affairs on the interwebs.

Nyoom.

Tuesday, Shopping PLNs

We need a few things, but I need to go to different places to get them. So I'm due for a Leyland's Tour today.

As soon as all the shops are open, of course.

My attempt to get the printer working was an outright failure. Hashtag, I tried.

But I also got all the buttons done, so my GameMaker time will be in placing them on the boards, and then learning how to make each function do what I want it to

Challenge #04404-L020: Good Not-Doggy

The time that a rough and ready space marine group rescued a group of abandoned, well.. they LOOKED like puppies anyway. They made great pets, though some galactics got more than a little nervous seeing a predator being called "Mr. Snuggles" -- Anon Guest

If the Humans don't have a saying for it, they can easily make one up. In this case, it's, "Convergent evolution is one hell of a drug."

It used to mean that people will name new discoveries after

Monday, Backup Reads and Back to it

The writing group is about to convene on Discord and share our little tales with each other. And have a good old gasbag about nonsense and cannibalism.

We're writers. The topic just keeps coming up.

I will finish the buttons, today, and push myself to try one last trick to get the printer operational. I can at least get that done.

Tomorrow... I push myself to resume pitching. And go shopping after the pitches are sent.

Wish me luck.

Challenge #04403-L019: Organic Pest Control

What do you do when your ship is dealing with a bug infestation, and these pests are adapting to your most technological solutions? You call in a human pest control service! -- Anon Guest

If there is anything the Galactic Alliance knew before they knew anything true about Humans, it was that if you wanted something destroyed - they came very much in handy. Just make certain that they understand the assignment.

And don't ask too many questions about where the destroyed

Sunday, Game Night and Relaxation

There was a lot of fun with the international chaos crew this morning. And now that I've had a nap and my stretchies, I should get on with the offerings.

But after that?

I'm taking the rest of the day to slack off. No work on Pseuducku. That can happen tomorrow.

Because I will be done making buttons and the next step is working out the buttons' functions. Terrifying.

But I think I can do it.

I... hope... I can do it.

Challenge #04402-L018: Zero Ammunition Combat Ready

Why do you have so many primitive weapons? Our stunners and plasma rifles are far more efficient.

"True enough, but your stunners and rifles can break down in the wrong kind of environment. With these spears, and things like this bow, all you need is physics, and knowing which direction the sharp end is going." -- Fighting Fit

Everyone knew that the Humans were a little bit strange. If you asked the right ones, they'd confess proudly to being a lottle bit
