look Aaravos is a terrible influence in every way, Ziard would for sure go around with his tits out
anyway I realized that the 2002 emo goth feral witch aesthetic I was subconsciously channeling came straight from Morrigan Dragon Age and I thought it would be funny to lean in on that just once
Ziravos won round 4, I put a little extra into this since I like this ship a lot myself hehe
I'm gonna be doing one more round on twitter and then taking a break, but this has been fun!
OK yes I'm back on my Jailer-cryptography bullshit, but Kpp'ar's cane looks too much like a wheel cipher to me and I'm losing sleep over it
A wheel cipher works by labeling disks with letters or symbols on the edge and stacking them on a rod; you can twist them to line up and code/decode your message.
A famous example of a wheel cipher is the Jefferson Disk.
a Jefferson wheel cipher
Another device that works on a similar principle is the cipher disk.
So, if you're still reading, humour me by looking at a couple more fashion accessories for mages:
So interesting how Ziard's is bound by chains while the Jailer's features keys, isn't it?
That ring with the spokes? Kinda looks like it could be the wheel from an enigma cipher (video demo here).
PS if you want to learn more about enigma machines and encryption, because they're really fucking cool and no I'm not hyperfixated at all hah hah hah
ANYWAYS. It's an enigma wrapped in a Mystery of Aaravos--*gets shot*
so like if quasar diamonds can undo the coin spell. and the relic staff can do the coin spell’s entrapment. then... the purple gem in the relic staff is an outright or corrupted quasar diamond, right?
