[quote]Ironically, in the Prophecy, a thing can be "blessed" by gods and demon lords alike; the property here actually describes a certain kind of ownership of the blessed object or area to the deity bestowing this blessing, which can in some cases cause the implied presence of said deity to disrupt adjacent unstable energy-structures, but more importantly renders the blessed thing very difficult to interact with to other deities (on that note, vampires are, in fact, unaffected by blessings from Rilon, just as demonspawn are unaffected by blessings from Himyth)).[/quote] So this is how you define "blessed" in this world? Huh... Admittedly, it doesn't really seem to correspond with my general interpretation of the word... I'd actually taken blessed to be so in the more conventional sense of the word, so just as an object containing divine energy. (Such as weapons given divine weight by Deliph could be considered "blessed"...) The infernal equivalent of that, then, would be "damned" or "cursed" or something along those lines. (Though you could perhaps argue that at least the second one of those words is more likely to be used for the results of certain kinds of harmful mortal magic.) Eh... In any case, the world which seems more fitting for the given use of "blessed" - in my mind, at least - would be "[i][b]sanctified[/b][/i]". ...On another note, I am also very inclined to call demon lords "devils" in my mind, rather than "demon lords", simply because "demon lord" just strikes me as a classification that somehow [i]should[/i] be far inferior to "god", whereas "devil" has always been the equivalent of "god" (and similarly to how many religions have many gods, they often also have many devils, whereas demons are either not present or exist as lesser evil creatures under them). But that's my and my interpretation of words, and my brain occasionally making strong, but not necessarily always-apt associations. ((There was a book with a [i]female[/i] character named "Nikita" I read once - and Nikita is a male-only name for most of the world, but especially Russian-speaking regions... So I consistently kept picturing this burly Russian guy whenever she came up, and retroactively correcting my mental image of the scene. That was a [i]fair[/i] bit more distracting than it had any right to be...)) [@yoshua171]: Looks fine to me now, I think. On a random thought I got from reading the post, though, has I'on never had dealings with sniffers before? I'm also not certain sniffers would be able to detect the [i]nature[/i] (in the given case, harmfulness or harmlessness of a mind-control-type spell) with any significant accuracy. Jack?
