    There are morality points but not immorality points? So you could trade morality for greater strength. But you couldn't trade immorality for the same.

    If this universe defines "evil" as "the lack of good" that would make sense.

    Only if your someone like Elliot who values morality enough to view it as something that makes sense as a trade- as something of value over something else.

    for Hypothetical cartoon evil person, it would be the opposite.

    while for a person who doesn't think in those terms, neither may make sense as trade because morality or immorality has nothing to do with how powerful you are to their logic.

    there is a degree of subjectivity here.
    I'm also on discord as "raziere".

    El Goonish Shive: Edward Verres impersonates a squirrel.
    El Goonish Shive: Dubious Magical Bargains
    El Goonish Shive: If magic won't do my homework, what good is it?
    El Goonish Shive: First world magical problems
    El Goonish Shive: The Colleging

    Okay, the colleging is pretty speculative as it may well be 2030 before we actually see the dorms.

    I think the true tradeoff will be power vs control.

    There's no reason to uppercase the V here; in the current thread title it was a Roman numeral pun (the previous had "ShIVe" for the same reason) but since we can't use ShiVIe, it's time to retire the schtick. (Besides this is actually the eighth thread anyways.)

    I'm pretty sure that as of the Family Tree arc(the party at New Years) that everyone in the main cast is 18.
    I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

    To balance the Superpowered Evil Side linked above, you've got the trope of Redemption Demotion. This take on magic does seem to run very trope-y, so I'd believe it.

    New thread! Because the numbering hasn't made sense yet, after all, and we all know how much stock to put in timelines.
