@13org@NoxxI'm only a silent observer here, and hell given that I'm not one of the GM's and have a bit of a discussion myself ongoing to get my character ready I maybe should keep my mouth shut, but this time I am indeed silly and I am deliberately doing so:
Please let the GMs decide. It helps absolutely nothing if you draw up one assumption about the magic system of this world or the other one's character after the other without having that much of a real anchor to hold it in place.
At which point was mana introduced and properly described ?
At which point were 'arcane network' and 'arcane node' properly described ?
Is the timeline suitable for knowing something about (d)eoxyribo(n)ucleic (a)cid ?
Does this entire technobubble matter that much at all ?
It has been said before I think, but I'm willing to act as an additional echoing stone wall: Let good judgement and common human sense decide.
