An archmage is an extremely powerful wizard, often wielding near-godlike powers

An arcmage, however, is a user of magical electricity.

@Mous I have a poster for it at home! Came in a game ordering magazine (I work at a game and comic store). :-)

Woo; Imposter Syndrome 

@MagentaForge For what it's worth, I remember feeling the same way 7-8 years ago...and having long conversation with @literorrery about a lot of it.

I still don't know that I'm a True Believer but I've been able to inch slowly towards at least Practitioner. :-)

@Mous I really want to play that sometime! Heard good things, and fantastic design sense!

@green Every review I've seen of it is that it's worse than you even expect to be. Exceptionally /bad/. So yeah. :-/

I'm reading a comic book, and the sound effect for the fire alarm going off is....awoo. Many awoo.

@kelseyhusky I see @neonNeptunian use 'thorns and brambles' as a swear, so... hm.

Break
Crash
Shatter
Entropy
Off (as in "well turn me off and make me a planter", etc)

"Rainbows are pretty because the rain god loves us" is a more specific example.

@Angle@witches.town @Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town @kara_dreamer@witches.town I think in the context of this chat "meaning" is more something ascribed past just rainbows being pretty.

I mean...why /are/ there so many songs about rainbows?

@kara_dreamer@witches.town @Angle@witches.town @Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town Yeah, exactly! I've built a Machine, and it's made out of...all this assigned meaning, and runs on attention. Which are integral parts of my imagined cosmology. So it's self-supporting, and I can look back to the historic point where electricity was /mystical/, and take that forward.

@kara_dreamer@witches.town @Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town Mine's aether. In the original sense, from early models of electricity, it was the proposed medium that​ light and electric particles traveled through.
Basis in science history, spun off into broader stroke: aether is the 4th dimension (spatially, not counting time), explains magnetism, electrons leave traces in it. Thoughts are electronic, so thoughts and idea leave more complex traces...etc.

sometimes I hit the ceiling
or get tangled up in trees
but when I jump off a rooftop
it's a very very rad dream

I think it's pretty awesome
I think it's kinda rad
the dreams in which I'm flying
are the best I've ever had
