Hey, so Chel and I were wondering about a plot for Lily and Regulus.

Lily and Regulus have discussed using the Protean charm on two of the notebooks Lily brought with her when she arrived here, here's a link to the charm's wiki for clarification on how it works: https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Protean_Charm. Since it would bypass the quartz network we wanted to check in with you first before we embark on playing out this idea in any way, especially since it might be used during the upcoming plots for the different groups to communicate?

If the answer is no – we are totally okay with playing out them attempting and utterly failing.

If yes, we intend to have them be unsuccessful in making the charm work throughout the month and then succeed at a date that works for you.

Hey! So, I think the only problem I see is — it's not the spell itself, it's the extent to which characters might ICly want to revert to this kind of system, moving forward, for safety reasons. Then it would be harder to justify the use of a network-type system on an OOC-level, which might erode one of our game platforms.

So let's do this:

Yes, it can happen, but only two linked items at a time

It can't be as reliable as the other communication devices / the connection "breaks"

Don't launch it for a few weeks, please — Fox just had his magical system epiphany, and let's give the little guy a few days to enjoy it!

We agree to all of that. Only the two notebooks. And we can pace ourselves so as not to outshine Fox.

And as for "the connection 'breaks'" how would you prefer to have that done? Like, would they have to keep reapplying the charm regularly to keep it working, etc.?

Something like the magical 'wi-fi' dropping now and then should be good!

[royal_venant]

Great! Thank you (also, sorry for being late to respond, I didn't get this notif. Sighs in the general direction of DW)

[royal_venant]

Oh, I also wanted to clarify that this being just for the two notebooks, that would mean it's just for Lily and Regulus for right now and the foreseeable future.

(We'd be open to maybe something being worked out in the far future to expand it, but we don't want to override anything you have in the works for game communication.)

We hope this is okay.

That sounds good!
