Asking crossed my mind.

I've seen nothing to make me hesitate  to make you more capable.

That might be my favorite compliment.

I wish for the three of us to have eidetic memories, perfect recall of our lives, and much more attentional capacity, without changes to anything else about our minds.

It goes through. Bella cackles.

He adjusts his magical girl costume from 'skirt' to 'robe', though not as aggressively as Maedhros. They're in navy. "Powers - yeah, I think I could mess with people's heads. Not give them orders, but change their attention, change their memories."

Maedhros nods stiffly.

Does that have an angle for oaths?

Making people forget oaths might help them, but it's risky. If someone's sworn something like an oath to obey someone, forgetting that persons' orders would help and wouldn't be risky. I might be able to, hmm, make orcs forget what Elves are, don't really expect I'd have volunteers and I'm not positive of what'd happen if I tried.

I could make escapees of Angband forget Angband, if any of them wanted that.

Which they might. How many escapees are there and how many prisoners alive in the fortress are there likely to be right now?

Escapees, they'll be hard to track down and I'm guessing there's less than two hundred. Most kill themselves. Prisoners alive - he looks at Maedhros.

Thousands.

Once the orcs are all out of the way I can go through in stopped time and heal them all at least physically, not sure what the best approach after that is.

Probably set up a copy of Lorien, if your magic can do that, and let them be for a couple centuries.

Would probably need a wish for that, have a candidate?

I know a lot of people who'd wish it if I asked it of them, yes. Want me to call one of them in?

It sounded like a big enough project to require high bandwidth, 'if you asked it of them' is not necessarily the relevant standard.

The implication would be that it'd help me, and everyone who served under me for the last few centuries feels very strongly about that.

I can at least take readings on it if you think it'll do. My instinct would be that it would help if the person was also really fond of the original garden or knew somebody who'd be going and staying in it or something.

I can find people who did a lot of study in Lorien before. I don't know if anyone here knows any current prisoners of Angband.

Where should it be?

Maybe we can clear out the Valley of Dreadful Death and put it there.

The what.

Stretch of forest between Himlad and the headwaters of the Sirion. It is full of giant, intelligent, man-eating spiders that occasionally swarm out in waves to destroy the nearest human settlement - Elves can outrun them. There's rumored to be other horrors there too. 

Perhaps Lúthien can also find a spider planet.

I'd have some reservations but that may be the way to go.

Reservations such as?
