So there's some kind of sorcery in the Far Shore that involves controlling ayakashi. Some of the old gods were forced to reincarnate because of the whole thing and shinki were executed. None of the names have been written down though.
Anyone know more about it?
... Adding onto this
Like, is the way of 'control' the way that they define controlling shinki? Which is just transforming and having power, but exact control isn't a thing.
That's just by giving a spirit a name though, right?
Now I'm wondering if shinki can give shinki names. Can the rend spell still work like that, if it's possible?
Can a shinki name an ayakashi? How does one factor the corruption? Touching them causes blight when we fight them, so what if you had that kind of connection? Sounds like you'd have to constantly stay in a bath of holy water or something.
Unless there's a medicine that's meant to deal with blight from shinki and everything, to delay ablutions and other extreme measures?

I'm going to guess that if our gods get "stung" when we get upset, naming something made out of negative emotions isn't the greatest plan even if it's possible.
Let us know if you hear anything about medicines.

Oh and am I reading "forced to reincarnate" right as "also executed"?
no subject
And yeah, you're reading that right. They rely on the reincarnating aspect for gods. Probably in hopes that they do better the next time around.
no subject
You must be a brave guy, Judar.
no subject
It's more that I'm putting the ideas and knowledge out to everyone else. Whatever happens from it isn't on me.
[ Which sounds more shit-stirring and less brave. ]
no subject
You'd be surprised how many places that take a dim view of actually trying certain things also aren't real thrilled with the people who put out instruction manuals for those things, but I guess you can try that defense.
I'm also gonna guess you aren't getting many people who are willing to admit to having tried any of this.
no subject
No one's going to admit to actually trying this. Officially it's just sharing what people have learned so far, and nothing about what they've done.
[ So people better be covering their asses. ]
no subject
I sure hope no one's going to admit to trying it. Heard anything yet about shinki naming shinki?
no subject
Nothing on shinki naming shinki yet. It was just a random thought in the string of others, though. I didn't expect it to go anywhere.
no subject
That kind of thing's not against Heaven's rules, is it?
no subject
[ Volunteering to be a test subject? ]
no subject
Well, I think I remember the line. Want to give it a shot?
no subject
He's a switch, bitch.At least buy dinner or something first. ]Go ahead. Have fun and share the results with the class, because I know you're not implying I let some stranger have that control over me.
no subject
[Like it ever meant anything. Does he have to buy dinner? He's broke.]
no subject
no subject
He's attaching a selfie.]
no subject
[ Here, he'll reward you with a pic of his own. One just showing his abs though and some of the braid- because he can't ever keep that fully out of frame. ]
no subject
So does that mean it's a date?
no subject
I'd only hook up with someone with better tastes.
[ This is a lie. Probably. Maybe. ]
no subject
I didn't know I had to flatter your abs first.

I'm not expressing interest in anything but the 'shinki naming shinki' aspect, though. If his description's accurate that's the one least likely to be involved with any forbidden sorcery.
If how this all works is the way I think, it also shouldn't even function, but wouldn't it be interesting if it did?
Text; private
And if I'm gonna be better than the old gods and actually protect my shinki, that means I'm not gonna be a coward and just ditch you if you fuck up.

I'm using my name because if anyone else is watching this and not chiming in, it gives them a chance to reach out in private. No such luck yet, incidentally, but I thought it was worth the risk given I'm not supporting the lines of inquiry most likely to get this guy hung.
That said, I'll touch base with you on risk tolerance before I put myself out there next time.

[This is blatantly tsun.]
Just don't forget that the risks you take affect both of us, and that you're not allowed to just get yourself killed without me having something to say about it.

But noted.
