--- Quote from: dpara on October 18, 2012, 08:20:45 AM ---My explanation for Cassius fast aging is, Cassius is wrong/lying not because of "father time's due" but because the Fallen are jerks. If I were them I would give the eternal youth package, but just in case they get separated let's also add 100 year old internal organs.

We also see it happening with the Red Court so it can't just be the Fallen?

I don't think my theory works on the Red Court. I am more inclined to believe that the Red Court aging was a side effect of the ritual, the older you were the more nasty-juice/radiation-juice you got pumped through you when the ritual completed. Some leeway is probably allowed, mostly because the ritual had inconsistencies (since Bob only had 10 seconds to explain it^^?).

I think if the entity giving you youth had done a good job you should just age normally after it stops helping you. Sudden aging points to a sloppy job. Magical effects that break down in stead of really changing the body.

How many people died because of the events of Dead Beat (the hex and people's reactions, the Wild Hunt, the Necromancers and their zombies running around)?
How did the Necromancers find out about the Word? Corpsetaker's Anthropomancy?
--- Quote from: Dead Beat, Chapter 17, Page 191-192 ---This was a kind of power I hadn't felt before. Normally when someone who can sling major mojo around draws their stuff up around them, it's something violent and active. I'd seen wizards who charged the air around them with so much electricity it made their hair stand on end, wizards whose power would gather light into nearly solid gem-shaped clouds that orbited around them, wizards whose mastery of earth magic literally made the ground shake, wizards who could shroud themselves in dark fire that burned anyone near them with the raw, emotional rage of their magic.

Here we see a few examples of what happens when wizards skilled in particular areas draw in power, can we get a comprehensive list for what happens for wizards of each specialty draw in power?
I should really stop posting in this thread whenever a new question comes to mind, I'm making too much work for myself.

I doubt its a specific list so much as individual effects for each wizard. In SmF for example, Harry gets glowing white eyes and sparks of green lightning all over his body. A heat shimmer isnt out of the question either, though there wasnt anything visual for it in the description
