Huh. Okay. A sufficiently magic thing could probably jostle the planet, though.

Permalink

...why would anybody do that? Is she going to do that?

Permalink

She's not going to do that, but they have magic users and people make stupid decisions sometimes.

Permalink

They're pretty sure nobody has the CC to shove a continent and earth and water mages don't have that much power either.

Permalink

What about sorcerers?

Permalink

Sorcerers can't even push, like, a big boat.

Permalink

Okay, so almost certainly nothing's going to happen to their planet. That doesn't make it sensible.

Permalink

What's so great about her planet, then, huh?

Permalink
It is a sphere, which is a sensible shape for a planet.

(At some point during these proceedings it may become evident that she is messing with them.)
Permalink

They think a spherical planet sounds intensely silly.

Permalink

It would just be so... round. Wouldn't it feel weird constantly standing on a round thing? Which way is down?

Permalink

Down is towards the center, and it's so big you can't tell it's a sphere while you're standing on it.

Permalink

...weird.

Permalink

Also convenient for things like fossil records.

Permalink

How so?

Permalink

Odette explains fossils and how they are scientifically useful and why she doesn't expect Elcenia to have them.

Permalink

They have some of those but admittedly not many. They can just use past-scrying to look at stuff though.

Permalink

Doesn't that get harder the further back you go?

Permalink

...no? Well, except insofar as you need a clear idea of what you are looking for, but you can just look for a certain location a certain number of years ago and then pan around looking at the sights if you want.

Permalink

...Can they past scry other worlds?

Permalink

Sure.

Permalink

Okay, she's actually profoundly curious about this one historical event that happened five hundred years ago--how much does transworld past-scrying cost?

Permalink

Flat fee about on a level with transworld diagrammy spells in general and then per degree as the wizard steers around the image for you.
