On Magic

If you're wondering why some of my puppets are dead, I got tired of taking care of them.

"Your signature has an 800 character limit – which, sadly, includes BBCode – and also an 8-line limit, per the OSRS."
Well, that's a thing. This factbook is the grave of my old signature, because I did not find out that the character limit includes BBCode until November 7, 2017 at around 6 PM PST. It's also an extension & compendium of useful things I use on the forums.

Replacement Systems (for those that wish to enter Shwe & associated civilizations but are unwilling to allow magic to affect their nation to a degree)
1. "Live" replacement, wherein anything exotic is perceived as a modern equivalent, such as communication crystals being replaced with triangular prism phones. Any scenes where magic is not able to be replaced without greatly altering the scene or causing it to make no sense, such as teleportation or other such exotic spells that could not be easily replicated by modern technology, will not be perceived except in an optional dream sequence later. OOCly, this would entail longer descriptions of such scenes being reserved for later, perhaps at the end of the post or somewhere amidst it all.

2. "Divided" replacement, wherein your nation, so long as they are in the Shwe world, are able to experience its exotic nature until they leave or attempt to tell someone else of their experience while their. At such points, their memories will be altered (temporarily in the latter case) into a modern equivalent. If during replacement there are any scenes wherein magic is essential, such as teleportation or other such exotic spells that could not be easily replicated by modern technology, they will only be perceived in a dreamlike state, making it ambiguous as to whether or not they had happened.

Convenient things:

Issue writing copy paste.

[color=#FF6A00]Orange words[/color] are suggestions, orange ellipsis are removed phrases (unless connected to a word, in which case it is a suggested addition), underlined words are comments. [code][color=#FF6A00][/color][/code]

For my own issues.

Underlined phrases are my own comments & notes & [color=#FF6A00]orange words[/color] are changes from the previous draft. If just the option & its number are orange, then a whole new option has been introduced. [code][color=#FF6A00][/color][/code]

Statement for the post that's a compendium for edits of an issue.

To make it easier to edit the original post, this post will be getting edited for previous copies so then I don't have to deal with a mile-long post each time I have to make a change.

AFTER an unequivocal experience of the inefficiency of the subsisting federal government, you are called upon to deliberate on a new Constitution for the United States of America. The subject speaks its own importance; comprehending in its consequences nothing less than the existence of the union, the safety and welfare of the parts of which it is composed, the fate of an empire in many respects the most interesting in the world. It has been frequently remarked that it seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for their political constitutions on accident and force. If there be any truth in the remark, the crisis at which we are arrived may with propriety be regarded as the era in which that decision is to be made; and a wrong election of the part we shall act may, in this view, deserve to be considered as the general misfortune of mankind.

[spoiler=Information on the Store]Guards at the store: One member of [url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=784419]Gesh'rigu[/url] will always be present on the grounds alongside a gravity wizard, who can summon crushing gravity to cause soldiers to fall to the floor or for bombs to harmlessly drop, three high-ranking magical medics, ten mid-ranking Parfuhmerian assassins, & a warden-class bishop, who will be creating wards over the store to prevent damage.

[url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=714572]Veil & Moonlight Bed (Hurricane White will not be sold). Other poisons may become available later on.[/url] 
Healing & medicines — including those for curing poisons — of which only Parfuhmerians are likely to know unless someone has somehow met with a Parfuhmerian toxicologist at some point (which is not impossible).
Decent-quality food & drink, which would probably taste better than an MRE.
Decent-quality lodging for soldiers.
Captured Great Stags, moose that can overturn even a tank with only a slight amount of difficulty or charge to gore enemies with its large antlers. It is greatly advised that one treat these moose well, for they can easily shatter through any cages or chains. Not only that, but some say that nothing can stop the charge of a Great Stag, who have been reported to take cannonballs to their legs & still move while barely being slowed. Further increasing their fearsome reputation is how even the Berserkers of La Friglas, the region where Great Stags are from, fear the yell of a Great Stag despite all their crazed bravery; it is a signature sound sounding somewhat like a hoarse screech or the high-pitched noise of metal grinding & also signifies the imminent charge of the creature. How a Great Stag can be defeated will not be revealed by their masters or Parfuhmerians, although it is most likely many bullets or a mine.

[b]Magical equipment & assassination services will not be sold or provided. Any attempts to kidnap a mage or steal magical tools will be followed by death or some other similar fate. Even if you make it out with them, it is unlikely either thing will function well away from the portal as the portal provides most of the magic in the area. Attempts to steal this portal will cause a volatile explosion in the area — this is due to the intentional creation of it. Attempting to go through the portal for those not affiliated with Parfuhmerie's store will fail; those that try will be ejected from the portal. Hitting the store won't exactly be a declaration of war, but Parfuhmerie will be annoyed & depending on how severely you do it may either sell exclusively to your opponents or send small forces to attack in retaliation.[/b][/spoiler]
