- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "I believe Akaryuterra may be able to answer my questions. I
- am quite interested in Numerological theory."
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "Ah, well, I'm currently talking with him myself, so that may
- have to happen at another time. Tell me, have you listened to Nico's lecture on the
- topic?"
- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "I don't believe so, though my interests are probably somewhat
- meta."
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "Pardon?"
- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "Ah, I'm not sure if the term metanumerology has every
- actually been used?"
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "I'm not sure what you're trying to define with the term. The
- study of the practice of Numerology, not actual Numerology itself?"
- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "The study of the theory behind Numerology. What are the
- Spheres? Why do we only concern ourselves with seven of Them?"
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "Ah. You are talking about the actual study of Numerology, then.
- That's encompassed within its scope, and Nico's lecture does cover that."
- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "I am curious if the higher level Spheres can be manipulated."
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "The long and the short of it is, the seven spheres encompass
- everything, there are no more because no more are needed."
- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "I am curious then, how would you describe Time using the
- Seven Spheres?"
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "The only 'higher' number is the Immortal number, theoretical
- because it is not within our scope of manipulation. The seven that we use encompass every
- angle of the world that we are able to sense and interact with."
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "Well, let's see. Time as Yuef, it is a whole continuum,
- complete from end to end. Ef'tig, it is a relation, now and then, future and past, all of
- it is relative to the viewpoint. Rafic: It is in constant flux, ie we are moving through
- it. Jherza, it has its effect directly on everything that is physical."
- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "Surely, by that logic it is Yi as well?"
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "Yi, it is a thing that we cannot touch or see, but which has a
- definite measurable presence. Jhako, it is a key part of natural equilibrium, especially
- processes such as decay and rebirth. It is also how we measure balances such as day or
- night."
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "And Lgakt, time is a key part of probability, especially when
- taking random samples over a period."
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "That's just off the top of my head, mind you. There will be
- other angles to take through all seven spheres on this topic."
- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "Thank you."
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "I think you would find Nico's lectures quite helpful in laying
- the groundwork for your Numerological understanding. You can find him in the lecture
- theater off the Auxiliary chambers."
- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "Ah, I've yet to go to the Auxiliary Chambers, at that."
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "But you've been into the guildhall? Goodness. You must have
- been in a rush to have missed those entirely."
- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "I am somewhat in disagreement that a married couple would be
- Yuef."
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "You're aware that marriage is also known as unity?"
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "It is the act of joining two people into a whole, the married
- couple."
- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "Well, yes. As much as commitment just outright confuses me."
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "It's a common misconception that Yuef only applies to single
- objects. A group can be thought of as having a Yuef, collectively existing as one thing,
- that being the group itself."
- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "I understand that. I am just not sure I would consider a
- couple 'one', though that is more my philosophy than anything else."
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "So you're accepting the concept of a large group of people,
- for example a guild, as being definable by Yuef, but not a pair of people?"
- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "I must say, his lecturer on nonstandard procedures is quite
- intriguing."
- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "//most of the stuff in his lectures is RP fluff, right?"
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "//they're actual lectures we've given in the game, I write
- them up and teach them to the mob afterward."
- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "//but they're still RP fluff?"
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "//you can consider them lore, yes."
- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "//in the sense that, mechanically, I can't use diagrams?"
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "//there's precedent for those, but you do need admin support
- if you want mechanics for it."
- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "//oh?"
- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "//I assume they'd be used for something so big, you'd need an
- admin anyway?"
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "//It's acceptible to RP small operations, but yes for big
- things you do need a bit of help."
- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "//out of interest, how big are we talking?"
- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "//apocalypse style numerology?"
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "//well, we had diagrammatic wards for when the Carnifex opened
- a gate to the abyss. I'm not sure what you mean by 'apocalypse style numerology'."
- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "//end of the world/blow up Enorian?"
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "//Admin would not support that at all."
- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "//I gusessed, sadly."
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "//Kind of difficult to engage that kind of shift because the
- game needs to remain the game that is advertised."
- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "//It was meant to be slightly sarcastic, yes."
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "//sarcasm is hard to get across in text."
- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "//yes, I just assume everyone's being sarcastic :P."
- (Tells): Mareia tells you, "I am curious, is there a theoretical limit for a Cabalist's
- power?"
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "//that will probably set you at a disadvantage, assuming that."
- (Tells): You tell Mareia, "Theoretically, no. Practically, yes. There is a lecture that
- covers that as well. Components, or somesuch, I believe Nico calls it."
