Revisions / Power adjustment

Hi BG! As you might have expected, we’ve got a few things to go over because #VALA

First, our standard set of Ainur restrictions:

Ainur are obviously crazy powerful beings, so we have to scale back a little bit. All Ainur have the following limits:
For using powers, there is an area limit of 10 square miles maximum for power distance. Powers displayed at this distance should be mild; a storm, a fog, a protection ring, temperature change, etc. (10 miles, for our purposes, is equal to 1 day-by-foot travel.)

Ainur cannot alter geography (however special occasions can be arranged!)

Ainur cannot create new beings/objects/materials, however they can work with what already exists

Basically, you cannot directly affect the song. If you start to mess too much with the music, it might even be painful.


For Varda in particular:

Like most other Valar in game, we ask that she keep one physical form.

The distance limit would include her range of hearing, though with Manwe within reach, she can up the range to 15 square miles. (We have given Manwe a similar sight limit.)

Unfortunately, we’ve nixed all foresight/future telling for all characters capable. The IC reason, if needed, is that the music is too discordant for it.

Re: Traveling - Everyone with fast travel has a limit as to how far they can go. Our max is 13 days-by-foot travel, per day, which we have given other Valar previously. (So for every 1 day, she can travel what an average person could travel in 13 days – or 13 times faster.) With a passenger (if you feel she is capable of taking one), that distance should be reduced somewhere in the 6-7 days by foot range.

The bright shiny body in place of making stars is perfectly fine.

If that all sounds good, revising her abilities section to address the above should be all we need to do.
