I seem to recall ES requesting separate vote boxes for separate revisions to avoid complications. We might want to scrap our second revision plan in favour of fixing the first one if it fails.

Aside from its immediate utility, I imagine Mind Sense should have quite a good roll bonus, seeing as how it builds off Detect Ambush and all our mind-related stuff. It's been a while since we tried to do something tied to our spellbook's actual domain.

((Well, the gig’s finally up. My secret affinity was ‘Illusions’. Practically everything James and his crew struggled to defeat in the last couple of turns, from Rick Astley to the black flames which engulfed the portal at the start of all this, was nothing but a bunch of insubstantial figments. The only truly harmful things present were Ilium’s own psychic attacks, and the Molotov cocktails, flashbangs and telekinetically-controlled weapons thrown through the fake portal in the sky, where Ilium spent most of the battle levitating safely out of reach, masked by permanent invisibility. (Note that, owing to the latter trait, most of Ilium’s interactions with other characters throughout the course of the game were actually carried out through an animate illusion of himself). The shadow demon, ghost illithid, Skeliborn doppelgänger, Dalí-inspired elephant, morphing blood, fireballs and Ilium's own corpse were elaborate illusions prepared several turns in advance for such an occasion.

Character-wise, Ilium was meant to be an opportunistic rogue who enjoyed practical jokes and liked to mess with people. He was not a follower of the Manipulator, nor was he a true ally of Unghe. He actually precipitated Unghe's death by purposefully framing him after the harmless portal stunt, unaware of the fact that Unghe really had tampered with the portal spell. (Sorry ATHATH; I needed a scapegoat to shake up the endgame, and your character was quite evidently a superb choice).

P.S. Having embraced death, I may now admit to being responsible for any baguette-related curses in this game.))

I agree with NUKE. Risking another order on this seems unnecessary.

Improving our scrolls sounds like an adequate idea. We'd increase the speed of our two latest airships, as well as the effective range of the Phoenix's flamethrower and the power of any scroll-based artillery we may design later.

I'm quite in favour of developing railguns, but I have my doubts about the effectiveness of a compass at this stage.

Adamantine Plate Armor: 
Storm Elementals (Soul Transposal) :

Stuff I personally think would be beneficial at the moment, in no particular order:

- Explosives capable of destroying crystal. Because smoking out the enemy isn't going to work in the long-term.

- Full-body adamantium plate armour. Gives our infantry complete immunity to fireballs and much better protection in general.

- Photochromic adamantium. Normally transparent, but is set to become opaque when light intensity exceeds a critical value, to protect against blinding flares. Can be used to make skyskiff windshields and transparent visors for our armour.

- A much more powerful version of the Zephyr. Tornados are currently underwhelming and overly-dependent on the availability of debris, but they’ve got the potential to wreck the entire battlefield, especially now that their range has reached beyond line of sight. Just imagine what we could do with winds strong enough to pick up an entire APC!
