Terminator soon a reality with this first “living” robot skin?
Skin resembling human skin, and moreover alive, is what scientists from the University of Tokyo have created. In a study published in the journal matter, they present a robotic finger covered with an organic skin, possessing functions water repellent and healing. An advance which may seem minor but which brings us significantly closer to real humanoids ! “I think living skin is the ultimate…

I salivate at the thought of skinning you alive
oh good, I thought I'd been left out. [for context to the reader, this is a reference to this post (I hope)]
On the spectrum from crocodile to passerine, I can only hope that human would be closer to crocodile, but not so close to be quite as tiring.

I was thinking about WOL outfits and what not, so here's a question:
And to elaborate on the difference between option 1 and option 2, a brief explanation of my interpretations under the cut:
Illusion magic only masks the true appearance of an item, bending the light aether around the item to make it look different to the naked eye. No physical properties of the armour changes. It maintains its original dimensions and weight. If your WOL was wearing full plate armour then glamoured it to something more revealing, if someone tried to stab an exposed area, their knife would stop on impact of the concealed armour.
Transformation magic will fully alter the physical appearance of the armour into the applied glamour. It will take on the shape and structure of the WOL's desired form, but the properties of the materials used will be maintained. The high grade metal of the armour will be altered to a state where it was like a woven thread. The item would provide the same degree of protection as the original where it physically exists in its glamoured state. If your WOL glamoured their plate armour into a the street wear top, their actual abdomen could be pierced by weapon.
Because this is magic you could fudge the physics if you so choose or say there's a secondary spell involved; but I'd imagine that if the transformation was completely lossless, your glamoured item will weight the same amount as the un-glamoured version. (Otherwise it would be more like a transmutation which is a lossy conversion and not reversible. The WOL turned their new savage tier BIS armour into a hempen camise and lost 95% of the material in the process. When they dispel the glamour they have that hempen camise's amount of the original armour piece.)
That's my take on the two options! I don't know if either of them really contradict any canon in-game explanations to the glamour system tbh. It's been so long since I picked up the intro quest and the only time I remember glamours being used as a plot device it was in the ARR Hildebrand quest line (I think the very end or within the coliseum arc, either way I'm not doing all that just to check and see that it says nothing of note)

I love the shapes you use to draw machete, or really any character!! The way you draw noses, ears, bodies, fur, it looks like of I were to reach my hand out I could actually feel it, the bumps in the skin the squish of the flesh the softness of the hair. Not to mention the colors you use are very pleasing to the eye. So lovely... keep up the phenomenal work!!!
Ah, thank you so much!

what do kiwis eat? Surely not the fruit by the same name, wouldn’t that be controversial? but if so I’d gladly offer one to you sweet bird 🤍
We are openly accepting cannibalsim in this household. 😌
Nothing against a little nibble

im sorry my american followers and friends for saying this but it makes me absolutely sick to my stomach when you all approach next year's elections with such a blind 50/50 mindset while this shit happens
yeah trump's a fucking monster. but instead of sticking with your two options of eating poisoned shit and eating slightly less poisoned shit, why is america so fucking complacent with any option that leaves you with shit dripping from your mouth i fucking beg

all the disability in magic universes discourse does remind me of how the healing magic in mwdh works like ppl who have been following me for YEARS already knew how the healing abilities would be written bc I talked about it a lot before.
Sophie's healing is more a speed up and soothing healing she couldn't heal a severe injury as well as Liam can in the first place. and Liam's is WAY more powerful and can mend skin and bones but because of that it's notably extremely painful. He performs surgery on a grape (ur the grape) . and neither of them are written to be capable of ''curing'' disability lol which would be clear from the get go: they both still need glasses after all.
