[I personally don't drink alcohol so I'm the wrong person to ask about wine pairings at least if you want a nuanced opinion and not just things I remember hearing somewhere because I have an eidetic memory. Cheese is not a very common combination with fish but I've seen it done. I have not seen sweet focaccia done but there's a live debate about pineapple on pizza.]

[I'm not familiar with either pineapple or pizza, but the tones I'm getting from the translation makes me think I should get the wood and torches out.] [To be clear, that was a joke, I'd never burn someone at the stake just for being Wrong about food.]

Permalink

[Good, that's definitely a cultural no-no. You actually aren't supposed to burn literally anyone at the stake on any occasion at all.]

Permalink

[I guess if you don't have witches it would come up less often...]

Permalink

[Executions by non-burning means are not unheard of - though they are very, very rare and require years of trial appeals first - but I do not immediately know what the influence of witches existing would be on this system.]

Permalink

[You know, I had never asked myself why inquisitors favor stakes for witches. A decapitation would work as effectively, and some people - like me - are not particularly inconvenienced by fire.]

Permalink

[Couldn't tell you! What's the matter with witches, anyway?]

Permalink

[They're Evil? They kidnap babies to use in their wicked rituals, curse people, bring misfortune, consort with the dark powers and so on...]

Permalink

[Wow. Well, we haven't got those, just mages and psions and you.]

[I am glad to be me! At first I was kinda mad at my magic for giving me healing, our party's cleric is much better at it today than I will probably ever be in my life, but if it means I can be of help to the people here then maybe it was my destiny all along to travel far, and my magic knew that.]

[...well, that would fly in the face of how we understand precognition to work but like, interestingly.]

Permalink

[Human magic only sees so far, and doesn't usually work across the Mists, but they say that divine magic can predict the future, and Ezra is well known across the lands...]

[But I guess my magic is not divine, so I don't think it matters actually. Sorcery is not that well studied, because as every sorcerer is different it's hard to predict how someone's magic will evolve. I don't actually think that it can see the future, or that it's even something that makes decisions to be honest...]

[Psionic precognition interferes with itself, we can only get glimpses of a future that doesn't contain anything downstream of other precognition use that occurs after the time at which the precog is looking from.]

Permalink

[If I ever got magic for divining the future I think it would answer me based on what would have happened if I hadn't used it, which sounds similar to what you describe. Our divination magic is not super reliable at the best of times, it mostly gives suggestions about what to pay attention to, rather than providing answers. Unless you're a Vistani I guess, they're said to have the ability to actually see the future instead of just getting hunches about it.]

[I literally see the future, but if I try to nest it with my own or someone else's precognition it just stops working.]
