Hmm... If Ian sticks to healing magic-resistant half-elves (in other words, people who literally can't get healing anywhere else), do you think the life-mages in nearby towns will realize they're not actually losing any business to him?


No the problem is that he is also healing humans from nearby settlements.

A couple of humans showed up. Riley didn't say specifically what Ian did about them.

Seeing Leah without glasses makes me sad. If I had Ian's powers, I'd be deliberately stunting girls' vision so they'd all have to don a pair of specs. Stupid Ian and his lack of glasses fetish. :wink:


Are we reading the same comic? He did not completely fix her eyes. In fact they had a whole conversation about that fact. Her glasses were broken and there is no easy way to make new glasses.

Shut the fuck up about healing. Thats just the draw.
The real money is to be made with tourism and, depending on how far this goes, tithing.

Think Mecca.

A pouch full of the ashes of messiah Ian's home. Some water he has blessed. A few beads you scrounge up and tell them are holy.

Last I heard, we were looking at late 2007/early 2008. Impy and Poe decided that was too long in the waiting for preorders to still be open.

Yeah this will definitely be something religious, especially with humans who have a 'faith based' set of magicks.

But not just because it's of the same cloth as Human's healing holy crap, but because of the magnitude of what he can do.

It's like what Sarine remarked when they came upon the Tomb of the goddess. The surveillance and defense system of the tomb was grown FROM trees, which was something beyond anything typically magically possible.

Such as with this. Halfelves can't get healed right alot of the times. That's why Leah had coughity-Mccough-cough syndrome with all those handy healers about, and why Ian needed to get godlike powers for his sister to begin with.

He'll be doing things that experts in healing magicks refute as impossible.

Except that it's kinda impossible for anyone but a moderator to delete a post after someone has replied to it.

With baited breath (whatever that means).

Meanwhile, is Ian doing his faith-healer thing under a picnic shelter?

Edit for Spelling. http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-bai1.htm

Yes that appears to be a picnic shelter. Can't see any graffiti from this distance... but you know it's there.

I was pretty sure that in the idiom it was actually spelled "bated" (despite the fact that I'd never actually seen it written down). However, I have seen it written "baited" as a pun, such as when a person's breath smells like fish.

You're thinking small. A scrap of the cloak/trenchcoat Ian wore during his holy pilgrimage into the heritic library, the charred bones of the elves he blasted in battle (which look suspiciously like the remains of a barbecue disaster), ashes from his home are good, but holy water and beads? Pfft. Small change. You need something CONNECTED to him, man. You're selling cobblestones that St. George supposedly peed on in a drunken stupor when you could be selling the shroud of Turin or a piece of the true cross.

When Ian becomes a martyr, which we all know he will (even if he dies in an insane attempt to enslave the entire universe to his will, the spin from the PR department in the Church of Ian will still make him out to be a saint), relics will sell for even more. Think about it- when an artist dies, his paintings suddenly skyrocket in value, because he won't be making anymore. Same goes for messianic figures.

Besides, considering how similar Tsuriaku seems to our own culture in many ways, who's to say they DON'T have novel t-shirts? Heck, Impy and Poe could get in on that with shirts that say things like "Ian did it", "Ian died for our sins", "Member of the First Baptist Church of Ian", etc.
