It's no secret that certain fans dislike the present-day version of Amy Rose.
"She's been stripped of her character traits."
"They took away what made Amy AMY."
"They completely altered her character, she's just boring now."
"Her crush on Sonic is non-existent, she might as well be a different person."
Going over how some people argue about Amy's portrayal in the games, specifically from Heroes onward really highlighted a small detail that I hadn't noticed until recently.
These people who are complaining don't like MODERN Amy... they like ADVENTURE Amy.
Fans seem to have a problem with realizing that this was the starting point for Amy Rose's outright flandarization.
They constantly compare present day Amy to the version who wasn't afraid to express herself questioning what else remains now that that's been taken away... IGNORING the fact that the version of referencing was only in SA1 & 2, and Heroes for the majority of it.
And that's where the finer details come in, as well as the aspects of her character that everyone seems to purposely ignore.
So let's actually take a look at some of those games that came after Heroes, shall we?
As I said before, SA1 & 2 were her character at her best early on in the Modern Era, but from Heroes onwards? A downhill slump with only a few upwards bumps every now and then:
Sonic Battle was the most prominent example, where she got obsessed to unhealthy levels to the point of pretending Emerl was Sonic's way of practicing for when they have a kid, as well as training herself to the point of exhaustion and hallucinating.
Sonic Riders, Zero Gravity, & Free Riders had her back to gushing over Sonic and practically nothing else nothing else. With her getting swept up into the crisis of the week by mere happenstance.
Riders 1 was the only one where she took direct action... and got caught by Eggman.
Rivals & Lost World effectively regressed her to being the damsel in distress alongside Tails and Knuckles.
Rush, 06, Unleashed, and Forces had a few decent moments for her here and there, but her contributions to the overall plot were either miniscule or downplayed and she ended up sidelined for the rest of the game, or in 06's case, until the final stage.
Generations dipped back into flanderization territory to an extent. As it was shown that both versions of Sonic saw her as more than a little annoying up until the final battle.
Adding that all together, exactly what of substance did we actually get out of Amy as a character before Frontiers? What character death did she have outside of just wanting to marry Sonic?
And yet now with when she's acting more mature and at the very least moving away from just being focused on sonic, suddenly she's being stripped up everything that makes her "her"?
And even worse, in some instances fans act as though she's not allowed to be improved on in any way shape or form and that she should just stay the lovestruck girl chasing Sonic to the ends of the Earth... a shtick that has long since overstayed it's welcome.
Make her mature despite not being Sonic's GF in Archie? "They made her a cuck".
Make her a Resistance leader in IDW? "She's a rip off of Sally".
Give Classic Amy her own solo arc? "It ruins her development in Adventure".
Make her Tarot Cards more prevalent after several years? "Tone it down, they're getting overused."
Give her classic self Super Strength? "This is OOC, she's just a normal girl."
-Or-
"She's too over reliant on her hammer."
Just because the character has become more mature doesn't mean those aspects of their character have suddenly vanished. Amy's character is more than just being attracted to Sonic, so she can act more mature in his presence at certain times, that's what CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT is for.
This is honestly why I prefer how they're handling her both in the games and IDW. She's allowed to do more, express herself and go on adventures without it being limited to just "Sonic is here", and we get to see her interact with other characters to give her more depth. I mean for crying out loud in the IDW series alone she's been on more interactive adventures with Cream, Rouge, Knuckles, Jewel, Belle and Tangle.
And what did they all have in common? She wasn't just there because Sonic happened to be in the area.
How much of that did we get in the games after Heroes?
Think about it for a second, from Heroes onwards up until Frontiers... what exactly did we GET from Amy in her game appearances aside from the same old "I love Sonic" trope?
So next time anybody complains about Sega "making her boring" by mellowing her out or letting her act more mature, remember that you BARELY got anything of substance from her until now.
Frontiers & IDW at the very least DID something with her and let her contribute to the plot. She's allowed to have her own arcs, adventures, and interacts with other characters without needing to suddenly go Starstruck whenever Sonic is within breathing distance of her.
I'll take a well-developed in-depth version of Amy over a flanderized version of her any day.

Hey, I just started playing about a month ago, meaning that I missed the USJ + Sonic event quests. If this isn't the place to ask for something like that, feel free to tell me, I just couldn't really find another place to ask. I kinda want to get all the USJ layered sets (so enough mats for the layered armor for the player + the 2 buddies). I only just finished the High Rank "story", so my equipment isn't as good as it could be. I'm also wondering if layered weapons will become a thing later on, just to know how many event-exclusive materials I'd need in the long run.
Is there any way to reward hosts in this game? I didn't find any trade option to let me trade rare items, so I don't know of any way I could repay anyone for hosting the quests for me...

Chapter 4
The days and weeks that followed were a whirlwind of activity. There was so much to learn; history, both Earth’s future, and the war against the Satura, science and modern technology, much of which Mike struggled to grasp, as well as more mundane tasks like requesting information from the “computer”, and creating items with something called a “replicator”. He went to bed exhausted, his mind bursting with new knowledge, while his nights were restless, filled with nightmares of the past and future. Both Vargas and Amélie were patient with him, but there was an undercurrent of urgency impossible to ignore. He recognized its source all too well.
They were worried an attack was coming and were desperately trying to prepare him for when it did, but it was also obvious they feared it would happen before he was ready. He buckled down, pushing himself even harder, but they all knew the clock was ticking.
Three weeks after his arrival, a blaring alarm roused him from his fitful slumber, sending him staggering towards its source. The others were already there, huddled over the computer’s display, with worried expressions evident on their faces.
“What’s going on?” he asked, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
“Temporal incursion,” Vargas informed him, “attempting to trace its source now.”
He glanced over at Amélie. “The enemy?”
“Oui,” she nodded, her eyes never leaving the screen.
The long hours of instruction allowed him to follow the highlights, if not the details. Through the commander’s efforts, he finally pinpointed the location of the enemy’s attack. “May 14th, 1840,” he said at last, “in London, England.”
“What’s happening in London?” Delany asked in confusion.
“I don’t know yet,” he said, irritated. “I’m still trying to trace its effects. There’s a lot of interference going on here.” A sharp intake of breath betrayed Amélie’s distress at the news.
“I take it that’s not a good sign,” Mike said quietly.
“No, it is not,” she agreed. “Interference is caused by changes to the timeline. The more interference, the greater the change. Our only hope, then, is to trace the distortion to its source. If we can isolate where the timeline first diverges, we may be able to prevent it.”
“And if we can’t?”
Amélie shuddered. “I do not know,” she whispered.
The pair watched in earnest while Vargas worked to clear up the data. As the information finally came into focus, he winced and looked away. “Fuck,” he swore under his breath.
“What?” Mike demanded.
“Queen Victoria,” he grimaced. “Both she and Prince Albert were assassinated before they produced an heir. No wonder the temporal plot is such a fucking disaster.” He looked closer, reading the details as they emerged from the computer. “With their deaths, next in line for the throne was Ernest Augustus, King of Hannover.” He shook his head, turning to face them both. “This is very disturbing news.”
“Why?” Delany asked him. “I mean, I know she was important and all, but England’s had lots of kings. Why does this make such a big difference?”
“Half of Europe’s royal families are descended from Victoria and Albert, or married into their family!” he exclaimed. “The Romanovs in Russia, the Kaiser in Germany, the kings and queens of Spain, Denmark, Norway, Greece, and Sweden? The entire map of Europe would be irrevocably altered, and that’s not even the worst of it.”
“Mon Dieu,” Amélie said in horror. “A German king, sitting upon the English throne.”
Vargas nodded in agreement. “Imagine how the First and Second World Wars would have played out, with Great Britain aligned with Germany, instead of the Allies. Imagine if Churchill couldn't rally the British people, and the American forces couldn't be based in England prior to the invasion. How would history have unfolded then, Sergeant?”
His mind whirled at the grim reality they just laid out for him. “The fascists would control all of Europe,” he said in shock.
“Not just Europe,” Vargas disagreed. “Let’s not forget the Japanese. Without the British and Dutch interfering with their plans, they would have free rein in Asia.”
“Wait a second,” Mike argued, holding up his hands, “you’re forgetting about America.”
“No, I'm not,” he said quietly. “Before Pearl Harbor, America was staunchly isolationist. Hell, I doubt I need to tell you that,” he snorted. “After all, you saw it with your own two eyes.”
“Yeah,” Mike said quietly. “I mean, there were a few folks that wanted to get involved, like the ones who went north to Canada to join up.”
“Yes… let’s not forget about Canada,” the commander said darkly. “A nation that shares our longest border, allied with a fascist England. America would be surrounded, isolated… and alone. How long do you think we could survive against the entire world?”
He couldn’t imagine a worse future. “We have to stop this,” he said fervently. “Tell me there’s a way we can prevent all that from happening.”
“There is,” he said with determination. “You and Amélie have to go back to 1840, and prevent the assassination.”
“Me?” Mike shook his head. “You should go, not me. You have a lot more experience than I do. I still don’t understand any of this shit!”
“I can’t go,” the commander argued. “That’s right at the edge of my Temporal Limit. But you’ll have Amélie to guide you… after all, this is her era we’re talking about. She knows it better than anyone. The replicator will provide you with period clothing, weapons, whatever you need.” He put a hand on Mike’s shoulder. “You can do this. I have faith in you.”
It wasn’t as if he hadn’t been on more dangerous missions before. “All right,” he said at last, “but how do we pinpoint the assassin? If we’re forced to wait until he commits, that could be too late.”
“If it were one of the Satura in disguise, we could easily track them,” Vargas explained, “but they prefer to use cutouts and cat’s paws. Our assassin is most likely someone they bribed or radicalized against the monarchy, which makes our job that much harder. However, I think I have something that will help you.” He smiled and pointed them toward the replicator. “Come on… time to get you both geared up.”
“... there,” Vargas said at last, “I think that should just about do it.” He gave Delany a final once-over. “It looks good on you,” he said in approval.
Mike turned and stared dubiously at his reflection in the mirror. He looked like an escapee from a Dickens novel. It wasn’t too bad. The trousers and jacket may have had an odd cut to them, from his perspective, but they were manageable. The shirt collar, on the other hand…
"Non,” Amélie chastised, swatting him with her handheld fan, “leave it alone. Tugging at the collar like that will brand you an imposter.” She wore a long printed dress, with ruffles and petticoats, like one of the sisters from “Little Women”.
“It itches,” he complained, pulling at it once more.
The Frenchwoman glared at him. “Perhaps you would prefer wearing my corset?” she snapped.
Delany swallowed. “Forget I said anything.”
“Here,” the commander continued, as he handed over the rest of their gear. “A Colt Paterson revolver, cut down to make it easier to conceal.” Mike took the weapon and tucked it inside his coat. “Don’t get caught with that,” he cautioned, “with the shortened barrel and pared-down grips, you’ll look like an assassin yourself.”
“Understood,” Mike nodded.
Vargas passed‌ over a pair of tiny derringers to Amélie. “I’ll let you decide where you want to conceal them,” he said with a shrug. She gave him an old-fashioned look as she tucked them away. “A dagger for each of you,” he continued, giving them a pair of blades, before opening up a small case. “These, hopefully, will help you spot your target,” he explained, as he gave Mike a pair of spectacles, before gifting his companion with a jeweled lorgnette. “There’s a tiny stud on the frame, next to the right lens,” he explained. “Press that, and you’ll have infrared vision. Press it again, and they’ll function as night goggles. Someone planning to kill the queen will probably have an elevated body temperature from sweating. It might just give you the advantage you need.”
He fiddled with the glasses, testing the various modes, before nodding in approval. “Could have used these at Normandy,” he said, mostly to himself.
Finally, he gave Delany a top hat and cane, while Amélie received a fur muff made with mink, or at least a reasonable facsimile. “Remember, you’re high society types, so act the part. That should get you close to the queen, without arousing suspicion.” he gave them a final once-over. “All right. Your pocket watch will tell you when you must return, and will act as a beacon when it’s time to retrieve you. Any questions?”
They both shook their heads. “Then step onto the platform, and Godspeed.” The pair stepped onto the raised dais as she took his hand in hers. “Good luck, both of you,” Vargas told them, as he activated the controls.
Once again Mike felt himself being yanked away, as the gray featureless compartment vanished from sight.

Streaming Platforms

The Fury vs. Usyk fight will be available to stream on two major platforms: DAZN and ESPN+ PPV. Both platforms offer high-quality streaming services, ensuring that you won't miss a single moment of the action.

DAZN

DAZN is a global sports streaming service that has been making waves in the boxing world. They have exclusive rights to many big fights, including the Fury vs. Usyk bout. To watch the fight on DAZN, you'll need to subscribe to their service. The good news is that DAZN offers a free trial period, so you can sign up and watch the fight without paying a dime.

ESPN+ PPV

ESPN+ is another popular streaming service that will be broadcasting the Fury vs. Usyk fight. However, unlike DAZN, you'll need to purchase the fight as a pay-per-view event. The price for the PPV is set at $69.99, which is a bit steep but worth it for such a high-profile fight.

Fight Card and Odds

The Fury vs. Usyk fight is the main event of a stacked card that features several other exciting bouts. Here's a look at the full fight card and the odds for each fight:

Fight	Odds
Oleksandr Usyk (c) vs. Tyson Fury (c), undisputed heavyweight championship	Usyk -115, Fury -105
Jai Opetaia vs. Mairis Briedis, vacant IBF cruiserweight championship	Opetaia -600, Briedis +400

David Nyika vs. Michael Seitz, cruiserweights	N/A
Moses Itauma vs. Ilja Mezencev, heavyweights	N/A

As you can see, the odds favor Usyk slightly in the main event, but it's sure to be a close and competitive fight. The undercard also features some intriguing matchups, including a vacant IBF cruiserweight title fight between Jai Opetaia and Mairis Briedis.

Why You Should Watch

The Fury vs. Usyk fight is a true superfight between two of the best boxers in the world. Both men are undefeated and have dominated their respective divisions for years. Fury is the current WBC and lineal heavyweight champion, while Usyk holds the WBA, IBF, and WBO titles. The winner of this fight will be crowned the undisputed heavyweight champion, a title that hasn't been held since Lennox Lewis in 2000.
But beyond the titles and accolades, this fight is a fascinating stylistic matchup. Fury is a giant of a man, standing at 6'9" and weighing in at around 270 pounds. He's a skilled boxer with incredible footwork and head movement for a man his size. Usyk, on the other hand, is a smaller heavyweight at 6'3" and around 220 pounds. But what he lacks in size, he makes up for in speed, technique, and conditioning. He's a former undisputed cruiserweight champion who moved up to heavyweight and has already defeated Anthony Joshua twice.
The clash of styles between these two men is sure to produce fireworks in the ring. Will Fury be able to use his size and reach to keep Usyk at bay, or will Usyk's speed and movement allow him to get inside and outbox the bigger man? It's a question that has boxing fans salivating, and one that will be answered on May 18th.

Conclusion

The Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk fight is one of the biggest boxing events of the year, and you won't want to miss it. With two undefeated champions putting it all on the line for undisputed glory, this fight has all the makings of a classic. Whether you choose to watch on DAZN or ESPN+ PPV, you're in for a treat. So clear your schedule, invite some friends over, and get ready for a night of unforgettable boxing action.

As the title says, I'm new to producing and just trying to network as much as possible and learn in the process. Wondering if there's any rappers who would be keen to see if they like a beat enough to rap over. Boom bap, hip hop and rnb style beats. If interested DM me and I'll send some beats through 👏🏼🙏🏽

Hello everyone! I'm looking for a notebook with specific dimensions and qualities that so far I haven't been able to find anywhere. I'm probably gonna pour out my entire life story but please do me a solid and hear me out.
In my next notebook I'm planning to map out and document my life for the coming 6 to 12 months, literally writing the book of my life with the odd doodle or chart. For this reason I'm looking for a larger size, high page count notebook. I've used A5 notebooks my whole life, but I'm planning to upsize to B5 if possible, to add some heft and make it feel more like a book. Additionally I'm looking for something with a load of pages, 400, 500 maybe more, would be ideal. In terms of paper quality I'm looking for something ideally at least 80gsm, blank, low transparency, as I like to write fairly densely and with a medium nib fountain pen that writes quite wet.
To give you an idea of where I'm coming from here's what I have tried in the past and what I liked/disliked about them:

• Moleskine - I know they have a 400 page notebook but it's smaller than A5 and the paper quality is hot garbage imo, out of question.
• Clairefontaine flying spirit notebooks - I loved the smoothness of the paper but doesn't come in high page counts. I considered getting a few, stripping the cover, and stitching and them together to form a big notebook but as it's a heavy paper my desired page count would make a notebook over 5 cm thick.
• Rhodia white paper / hard cover notebook, forgot the exact name: again great quality smooth paper but a bit too bright and white for my eyes, low sheet count.
• Peter Pauper press: my favourite by far in terms of writing experience, very heavy, smooth and dense paper with zero feathering and little to no transparency even with gushing pen and ink and still dries very quickly. My only gripe if I have to name one is paper colour, it's a bit too ivory for a vivid blue ink (Diamine sargasso sea) to look great on it. Also they only come with heavily designed covers, no subtle black or navy options and low-ish sheet counts. But the same property that makes its quality is why it wouldn't be practical in high page counts, even if it were available.
• Montblanc 146: I used these the longest because of overall quality, a bit scratchier feedback than PPP/Clairefontaine and less dense than I think would be my ideal, so it's a bit too transparent for my liking but if I had to use one for the rest of my life I'd go with this. My main issue is the price/value ratio, we know 2/3 of the €80 price is the little button on the front cover. The 163 (nearer B5 size) isn't available with plain paper though. If anyone knows a manufacturer with the same/similar paper please let me know regardless of formats!

Based on what I've tried so far, my ideal notebook would be as follows (possible compromises in brackets):

• Around 500 pages but no thicker than 5cm overall (400 or even 300 is great if every other criteria is met)
• B5 size (A5 is more realistic for all other criteria to be met, I know)
• 80 to 100 gsm cream coloured, blank, rather smooth low feedback paper (anything acceptable from odd/dirty white to not too yellow ivory, as long as it's blank and has little to no feedback/resistance. Would even go lighter to a 52/68gsm Tomoe River paper if only that is available.)
• Soft leather cover (doesn't matter much, could even be hard or thin cardboard for all that matters, I'll be getting a custom leather cover for protection and added feel/heft.)
• Milled/produced/crafted in EU, certified, organic chemicals free all the jazz. (I understand there are very few mills and presses left in the EU, but I'd prefer local manufacture on principle. Exception is Japanese paper or even North Am. made if it's widely distributed in the EU.)

Finally, here's what I've found so far and am actually considering:

• Leuchtturm1917 B5 notebook - I'm considering this because it's an established brand so they'll likely be around in case I fall in love. If it had more pages I'd have already ordered this guy.
• This 300 page B5 Tomoe River notebook off Etsy - I only heard good things about TR paper, I'm willing to try it even if not my conceived ideal, plus bound in Italy, yay! He also makes 400 page A5 notebooks so I might go with that, though that's about 20% less net writing area.
• Odyssey notebook, A5 but with 500 pages, 68gsm Tomoe River paper - would be the first contender but it ships from USA (slow and costly), does anyone know of a EU distributor?
• I briefly looked at blank books such as this one but printing paper and fountain pens don't mix and I couldn't reach this particular seller for info. Also based on ads there seems to be a host of these, even in my preferred specs, on Temu, Ali etc, but I'm not even clicking on sites like that, I hope that goes without explanation.
• At this point I'm even considering going the full distance and binding my own frickin notebook if I could find (and try / read reviews of) the absolute most ideal paper as described above - which I cannot seem to. Any idea where to even look for blank paper in the EU?

So my sincere question to the community is, do you know of any other notebook brands that could suit my needs, what's your experience with them if any, and where I might order for quick EU delivery? Any comments or help is much appreciated, and thank you for reading!

Hello EtsyPhotographers!
Lighting is a crucial element in product photography, and using the right modifiers can dramatically improve the quality of your photos. Here, we’ll explore the different types of lighting modifiers and how they can help you achieve professional-looking product images.
What are Lighting Modifiers? Lighting modifiers are tools that control the quality, direction, and intensity of light in your photography setup. They help you shape the light to create the desired effect, whether it’s soft and diffused or sharp and focused.
Types of Lighting Modifiers:

1. Softboxes:
   • Description: Softboxes are enclosures that fit over a light source, typically rectangular or octagonal, lined with reflective material and covered with a diffusing fabric.
   • Use: They produce soft, even light that reduces harsh shadows, making them ideal for product photography where you want a clean, professional look.
   • Example: Use a softbox to photograph jewellery or ceramics to highlight the product without creating distracting shadows.
2. Umbrellas:
   • Description: Umbrellas can be reflective (silver or white) or shoot-through (translucent). They spread light over a broad area.
   • Use: Reflective umbrellas bounce light back onto the subject, while shoot-through umbrellas diffuse light for a softer effect.
   • Example: Perfect for clothing or large items where you need to evenly light a broader area.
3. Reflectors:
   • Description: Reflectors are surfaces that bounce light back onto the subject. They come in various colours like white, silver, gold, and black.
   • Use: They fill in shadows and add highlights. Silver reflectors create bright highlights, gold reflectors add warmth, and white reflectors produce soft, natural light.
   • Example: Use a reflector to add light to the shadowed side of a product, creating a balanced exposure.
4. Diffusers:
   • Description: Diffusers are materials placed between the light source and the subject to soften the light.
   • Use: They reduce the intensity of light and create a soft, even illumination.
   • Example: Use a diffuser when photographing reflective items like glass or metal to avoid harsh reflections and glare.
5. Grids:
   • Description: Grids attach to lights and narrow the beam, directing it precisely where you want.
   • Use: They help control spill light and create more defined shadows and highlights.
   • Example: Use a grid to highlight specific features of a product, such as the label on a bottle, without lighting the entire scene.
6. Barn Doors:
   • Description: Barn doors are adjustable flaps attached to the sides of a light source.
   • Use: They control the direction and spread of the light, allowing you to shape the light precisely.
   • Example: Use barn doors to focus light on a particular part of a product, such as a logo or intricate detail, while keeping other areas in shadow.
7. Snoots:
   • Description: Snoots are tubular modifiers that narrow the beam of light to a small spot.
   • Use: They create a focused beam of light, ideal for highlighting small areas.
   • Example: Use a snoot to add dramatic lighting to a specific feature of a product, like the gem in a ring or the texture of fabric.

Community Activity:

• Modifier Comparison: Choose a product and photograph it using different lighting modifiers. Share the images here and explain how each modifier affected the final look.
• Share Your Setup: Post photos of your lighting setups using various modifiers and provide tips on achieving the best results with each.

I've been testing the Sony 3D Spatial Audio Bluetooth headphones on PC.
The built-in Windows Sonic Spatial Audio mode gives the headset a basic experience. It was fine, but I want to get a similar experience to how it would sound if it were connected to a PS5.
I read a suggestion online to try a 3rd party paid spatial audio add-on and the experience was massively improved. If I hadn't tried, I wouldn't know how much of a difference the spatial audio engine makes for the same headphones.
I understand that the current form of Sony Tempest 3D Audio is hardware based on the PS5.
I would like to see Sony bring this tech for PC users so we can use our PS5 Bluetooth headsets on Windows. Just as the current alternative spatial audio options like Dolby Atmos have a hardware based and software based solution, we need a Software based Sony Tempest 3D Spatial Audio engine for Headphones on Windows.
The current alternatives like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X on Windows have demonstrated it is possible to create a software implementation of Spatial Audio using the spatial objects approach for immersion.
A software-based Sony Tempest 3D Spatial Audio solution for Windows does not need to support every third-party headset. Instead, it could be tailored specifically for Sony's licensed headphones and earphones.
This would allow owners of the Sony headphones to get the full experience during use and provide a consistent immersive experience across platforms for free.

Jacob Boehme (or as some say Behmen) was a German mystic and spiritualist who began to write in the 17th century. In his works he inserted a picture of an angel blowing a trumpet, from which issued these words: "To all Christians, Jews, Turks and Heathens, to all the nations of the earth this Trumpet sounds for the last time." In truth it was a curious emblem, but he, the author, was a mystic, and as all experience shows, the path of the mystic is a strange one. It is, as Job says, a path which the "vulture knoweth not." Even as a bird cleaves the eternal ether, so the mystic advances on a path nor ordinarily manifest, a way which must be followed with care, because like the Great Light, which flashes forth and leaves only traces when it returns again to its centre, only indications are left for those who come after seeking the same spiritual wisdom. Yet by these "traces," for such they are called in the Kabbala, the way can be discerned, and the truth discovered.
Boehme was poor, of common birth, and totally devoid of ordinary education. He was only a shoemaker. Yet from the mind and out of the mouth of this unlettered man came mighty truths.
It would be idle to inquire into the complications of Karma which condemned him to such a life as his appeared to be. It must have been extremely curious, because though he had grasped the truth and was able to appreciate it, yet at the same time he could not give it out in its perfect form. But he performed his work, and there can be no manner of doubt about his succeeding incarnation. As Krishna says in the Bhagavad-Gita, he has been already or will shortly be "born into a family of wise devotees"; and thence "he will attain the highest walk."
His life and writings furnish another proof that the great wisdom-religion―the Secret Doctrine―has never been left without a witness. Born a Christian, he nevertheless saw the esoteric truth lying under the moss and crust of centuries, and from the Christian Bible extracted for his purblind fellows those pearls which they refused to accept. But he did not get his knowledge from the Christian Scriptures only. Before his internal eye the panorama of real knowledge passed. His interior vision being open he could see the things he had learned in a former life, and at first not knowing what they were was stimulated by them to construe his only spiritual books in the esoteric fashion. His brain took cognizance of the Book before him, but his spirit aided by his past, and perchance by the living guardians of the shining lamp of truth, could not but read them aright.
His work was called "The Dawning of the Eternal Day." In this he endeavors to outline the great philosophy. He narrates the circumstances and reasons for the angelic creation, the fall of its chief three hierarchies, and the awful effects which thereupon fell upon Eternal Nature. Mark this, not upon man―for he was not yet―but upon the eternal Nature, that is BRAHM. Then he says that these effects came about by reason of the unbalancing of the seven equipoised powers of forces of the Eternal Nature or Brahm. That is to say, that so long as the seven principles of Brahm were in perfect poise, there was no corporeal or manifested universe. So in the Bhagavad-Gita we find that Krishna tells Arjuna that "after the lapse of a thousand ages (or Night of Brahm) all objects of developed matter come forth from the non-developed principle. At the approach of that day they emanate spontaneously." (Bhagavad-Gita, Chap. 8. ) Such is the teaching of the Secret Doctrine.
And again Boehme shows the duality of the Supreme Soul. For he says in his work "Psychologia Vera cum Supplemento" that these two eternal principles of positive and negative, the yea and the nay of the outspeaking Supreme One, together constitute eternal nature,―not the dark world alone; which is termed the "root of nature,―" the two being as it were combined in perfect indissoluble union.
This is nothing else but Purush and Prakriti, or taken together, what is referred to in the Bhagavad-Gita where it is said: "But there is another invisible, eternal existence, superior to this visible one, which does not perish when all things perish. It is called invisible and indivisible. This is my Supreme Abode."
Clearly the Supreme Abode could never be in Purush alone, nor in Prakriti alone, but in both when indissolubly united.
This scheme is adhered to all through this great philosopher's works, no matter whether he is speaking of the great Universe or macrocosm, or of its antitype in man or microcosm. In "De Tribus Principiis" he treats of the three principles or worlds of Nature, describing its eternal birth, its seven properties, and the two co-eternal principles; and furthermore in "De Triplici Vita Hominis" he gives the three-fold life of man from which the seven is again deduced.
In "De Electione Gratia" he goes into a subject that often proves a stumbling block to many, and that is the inevitableness of evil as well as of good. From this it is easy to pass to a contemplation of one of the difficult points in occultism as shown in the Secret Doctrine, that nothing is evil, and that even if we admit evil or wickedness in man, it is of the nature of the quality or guna, which in the Bhagavad-Gita is denominated raja―foulness or bad action. Even this is better than the indifferent action that only leads to death. Even from wickedness may and does come forth spiritual life, but from indifferent action comes only darkness, and finally death.
Krishna says in Bhagavad-Gita, Chap. IV: "There are three kinds of action: first, that which is of the nature of Satyam, or true action; second, that which is of the nature of Raja, or bad action; third, that which is of the nature of Tamas, or indifferent action." He then says: "Although thou wert the greatest of all offenders, thou shalt be able to cross the gulf of sin in the bark of spiritual wisdom"; and a little farther on "The ignorant and man without faith, whose spirit is full of doubt, is lost and cannot enjoy either world." And in another chapter in describing Himself, he says that he is not only the Buddha, but also is the most evil of mankind or the Asura.
This is one of the most mystical parts of the whole secret doctrine. While Boehme has touched on it sufficiently to show that he had a memory of it, he did not go into the most occult details. It has to be remembered that the Bhagavad-Gita, and many other books treating on the Secret Doctrine, must be regarded from seven points of view; and that imperfect man is not able to look at it from the centre, which would give the whole seven points at once.
Boehme wrote about thirty different treatise, all of them devoted to great subjects, portions of the Secret Doctrine.
Curiously enough the first treated of the "Dawn of the Eternal Day," and the second was devoted to an elucidation of "The Three Principles of Man." In the latter is really to be found a sevenfold classification similar to that which Mr. Sinnett propounded in "Esoteric Buddhism."
He held that the greatest obstacle in the path of man is the astral or elementary power, which engenders and sustain this world.
Then he talks of "tinctures," which we may call principles. According to him there are two principles ones, the watery, and the igneous. These ought to be united in Man; and they ardently seek each other continually, in order to be identified with Sophia or Divine Wisdom. Many Theosophists will see in this a clue not only to the two principles―or tinctures―which ought to be united man, but also to a law which obtains in many of the phenomena of magic. But even if I were able, I should not speak on this more clearly.
For many inquirers the greatest interest in these works will be found in his hypothesis as to the birth of the material Universe. On the evolution of man from spirit into matter he has much more than I could hope to glance at. In nearly all of it he was outlining and illustrating the Secret Doctrine. The books indicated are well worthy of study not only by Western but also by Eastern metaphysicians.
Let us add a few sentences to support this hypothesis from Count Saint Martin, who was a devoted student of these works.
"Jacob Boehme took for granted the existence of an Universal Principle; he was persuaded that everything is connected in the immense chain of truths, and that the Eternal Nature reposed on seven principles or bases, which he sometimes calls powers, forms, spiritual wheels, sources, and fountains, and that those seven bases exist also in this disordered material nature, under constraint. His nomenclature, adopted for these fundamental relations, ran thus: The first astringency, the second gall or bitterness, the third anguish, the fourth fire, the fifth light, the sixth sound, and the seventh he called BEING or the thing itself."
The reader may have begun to think the author did not rightly comprehend the first six but his definition of the seventh shows he was right throughout, and we may conclude the real meanings are concealed under these names.
"The third principle, anguish, attenuates the astringent one, turns it into water, and allows a passage to fire, which was shut up in the astringent principle."
There are in this many suggestions and a pursuit of them will repay the student.
"Now the Divine Sophia caused a new order to take birth in the centre of our system, and there burned our sun; from that do come forth all kinds of qualities, forms and powers. This centre is the Separator." It is well known that from the sun was taken by the ancients all kinds of power; and if we mistake not, the Hindus claim that when the Fathers enter into Para-Nirvana, their accumulated goodness pours itself out on the world through the "Door of the Sun."
The Bhagavad-Gita says, that the Lord of all dwells in the region of the heart, and again that this Lord is also the Sun of the world.
"The earth is a condensation of the seven primordial principles, and by the withdrawal of eternal light this became a dark valley." It is taught in the East, that this world is a valley and that we are in it, our bodies reaching to the moon, being condensed to hardness at the point where we are on the earth thus becoming visible to the eye of man. There is a mystery in this statement, but not such an one as cannot be unravelled.
Boehme proceeds: "When the light mastered the fire at the place of the sun, the terrible shock of the battle engendered an igneous eruption by which there shot forth from the sun a stormy and frightful flash of fire―Mars. Taken captive by light it assumed a place, and there it struggles furiously, a pricking goad, whose office is to agitate all nature, producing reaction. It is the gall of nature. The gracious, amiable Light, having enchained unerupted Mars, proceeded by its own power to the bottom or end of the rigidity of Nature, when unable to proceed further it stopped, and became corporeal; remaining there it warms that place, and although a valet in Nature, it is the source of sweetness and the moderator of Mars.
"Saturn does not originate from the sun, but was produced from the severe astringent anguish of the whole body of this Universe. Above Jupiter the sun could not mitigate the horror, and out of that arose Saturn, who is the opposite of meekness, and who produces whatever of rigidity there is in creatures, including bones, and what in moral nature corresponds thereto." (This is all the highest astrology, from one who had no knowledge of it.) "As in the Sun is the heart of life, so by Saturn commenceth all corporeal nature. Thus in these two resides the power of the whole universal body, and without their power there could be no creation nor any corporification.
"Venus originates in effluvia from the Sun. She lights the unctuosity of the water of the Universe, penetrates hardness, and enkindles love."
"Mercury is the chief worker in the planetary wheel; he is sound, and wakes up the germs in everything. His origin, the triumph of Light over Astringency (in which sound was shut up silent), set free the sound by the attenuation of the astringent power."
It is certain that if this peculiar statement regarding Mercury is understood, the student will have gained a high point of knowledge. A seductive bait is here held out to those striving disciples who so earnestly desire to hold converse with the elemental world. But there is no danger, for all the avenues are very secret and only the pure can prevail in the preliminary steps.
Boehme says again: "The Mercury is impregnated and fed continually by the solar substance; that in it is found the knowledge of what was in the order above, before Light had penetrated to the solar centre."
As to the Moon, it is curious to note that he says, "she was produced from the sun itself, at the time of his becoming material, and that the moon is his spouse." Students of the story of Adam being made to sleep after his creation and before coats of skin were given, when Eve was produced from his side, will find in this a strong hint.
The above is not by any means a complete statement of Boehme's system. In order to do justice to it, a full analysis of all his works should be undertaken. However, it is sufficient if thoughtful minds who have not read Boehme, shall turn to him after reading this, or if but one earnest reader of his works, or seeker after wisdom, shall receive even a hint that may lead to a clearing up of doubts, or to the acquisition of one new idea. Count Saint Martin continually read him; and the merest glance at the "Theosophic Correspondence" or, "Man―His Nature, &.," of Saint Martin will show that from that study he learned much. How much more then will the Western mind be aided by the light shed on both by the lamp of Theosophical teachings.

Embracing Netanyahu does not constitute a foreign policy
It is extremely difficult to discern what might be the thinking behind the clueless President Joe Biden and his Blinken-Austin-Mayorkas foreign-policy-plus national security team. Or rather, the problem is that there does not appear to be any thinking about it at all if one measures it by what benefits it brings to the American people. It all actually seems to derive from a desire to construct a narrative that will win the presidential election coming up in November, which will fortunately be run against a deeply flawed GOP candidate named Donald J. Trump. But look at what is on the Biden record: the country’s southern border with Mexico is a porous as a Swiss cheese, allowing literally millions of illegal immigrants into the USA since Biden took office; Washington is both de facto and de jure simultaneously fighting and losing two unnecessary wars involving nuclear powers which has cost a nearly bankrupt Treasury well into the hundreds of billions of dollars; and the White House is needlessly sanctioning non-hostile competitors like China while also making illegal popular social media sites like TikTok which have committed the sin of reporting and disseminating accurate narratives about good old “best friend and closest ally” Israel. Predictably, neither of the assertions about the value of the Jewish state is true, nor is it a democracy, but who cares when you’re having fun shooting people and spending someone else’s money?
Oh, and just try to exercise your first amendment free speech rights by demonstrating against Israel’s slaughter of upwards of 40,000 Palestinian civilians using US provided weapons and you will be hit on the head by a cop, possibly arrested, and even expelled from college! If you want to see where this is all going, check out reports of the recent FBI detention and interrogation of distinguished Israeli historian Ilan Pappe seeking to enter the US through the Detroit International Airport. Pappe is a critic of the Netanyahu government and of US policy so he was held, questioned in detailed about his contacts, and had his phone copied before being allowed to proceed. Meanwhile, a group of top federal judges have signed a letter stating that they will strike back against the demonstrating students by refusing to hire any graduates of Columbia University Law School as law clerks. And there even is a bill currently before Congress that would empower the government to label the foreign protesters “antisemites and terrorism supporters” and deport them, with some going to Gaza with the expectation that they would be killed, possibly by the mighty Israel Defense Forces (IDF)! It would be a startling new development to punish those whose crime consists mostly of trespass even given the rather loose ethical boundaries established by the war on terror and the Antisemitism Awareness Act! Or indeed one might follow the Senatorial route led by a chirping Lindsey Graham who recommends dropping a nuclear bomb on Gaza to kill everyone who has survived the Israeli onslaught. The area then might be developed after the radiation dies down for those splendid seaside villas for Jews only suggested by the esteemed Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner.
To be sure, Joe sometimes mumbles something that might just be viewed positively, like his recent blocking on humanitarian grounds of a consignment of bunker buster bombs on their way to Israel due to Benjamin Netanyahu’s insistence that, no matter what, he would invade Rafah to completely destroy Hamas and whoever else might happen to get in his way. Joe predictably reversed that decision last Tuesday, approving a $1 billion supply of munitions after he came under pressure from the Israelis and their many friends in the US, to include a host of Israel-loving GOP congressmen who have carried their fight on behalf of the Jewish state to The Hague, where the International Criminal Court (ICC) is being directly threatened with American wrath lest it try to punish Israeli leaders for their genocide in Gaza. As Bill Astore put it “Last week, President Biden appeared to have strapped on a temporary spine in delaying shipments of ‘offensive’ weaponry to Israel for its murderous invasion of Rafah in Gaza. That spine had a short duration as Biden announced [Tuesday] renewed shipments of tank and mortar rounds to Israel.” Congress has also gotten into the game with the GOP controlled House of Representatives having passed a bill that would compel the White House to continue all arms shipments to Israel. Joe might also be thinking of political contributions, as American Jews donate the majority of Democratic Party funding, as well guaranteeing a friendly media in his campaign as they dominate both the news and the entertainment industries. See, Joe can figure some things out all by himself every once in a while!
Here’s the problem with Joe, apart from the roughly $12 million in gift-donations from Jewish/Israeli sources that he has obtained in his political career. His tactical thinking does not extend beyond his personal interests, to include his corrupt children, a trait very much like that which is possessed by his good buddy Netanyahu who is facing corruption charges of his own in Israel. Joe believes he is much cleverer than he actually is and thinks that an occasional mild verbal criticism of the Israeli behavior will convince his target audience of voters that he really is concerned about the continuing death toll in Gaza, where the Israelis have already been taking initial steps in their attack on Rafah by using their tanks to penetrate into the targeted zone to destroy and kill.
And as for the reported completion and initial functioning of the floating pier connected to Gaza constructed by US military engineers, it will not dramatically change reality on the ground even though Biden is claiming that it will enable the entry of much needed food and medical aid. Israel will still “security” control what is allowed to enter into Gaza proper while Netanyahu is seeing the pier as a bridge to nowhere, usable primarily to export excess Palestinians to foreign lands that are either willing or unwilling to accept them. And its existence creates some interesting possibilities. As it presumably will be logistically supported on the pier itself by US-based personnel, Netanyahu might well be tempted to stage a false flag attack blamed on Hamas to kill a few Americans and lock Biden into Israel’s right-wing Gaza policies from now on. Bear in mind that, in reality, Biden could care less if all the Palestinians might be “disappeared” just as he would like to see any and all critics of Israel be subjected to the harshest punishments, including prison and denial of basic rights as well as being stripped of government benefits. He has called the protesters “lawbreakers” and spreaders of “chaos” and congress is currently investigating the alleged “subversive organizers” of the “anti-Israel terrorists.”
Biden and company, as well as Trump, who is advising the Israeli government to “finish the job” with the Palestinians, clearly have no actual red lines that must not be crossed when it comes to Israel. The war of extermination of the Gazans has been accompanied by a more hidden war being conducted by the Jewish settlers on the West Bank, which has been largely under Israeli occupation since 1967. The frequently armed settlers have been attacking unarmed Palestinians, destroying their homes and businesses, ruining their crops and vineyards, and even killing them on occasion. Israeli police and army standing by do nothing to stop the fun and even frequently participate themselves by arresting and beating Palestinians who are guilty only of being Palestinian. Hundreds of Palestinians have been arrested without charges apart from “preventive detention” since the troubles began in October and the jails are overflowing. The clear intention, verbalized without any shame by senior Israeli government officials like Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, is to produce a Greater Israel cleansed of Arabs. And Biden, who pretends to favor a two-state solution to the unrest, helps the process along by vetoing UN resolutions that would help create separate sovereignty for Palestine.
Some of the most outrageous recent developments have been the settlers’ interfering with shipments of food and medicines entering into Gaza, a point that a faux-sympathetic Biden stresses repeatedly when pontificating regarding bringing aid to the starving people who are trapped with nowhere to go inside the enclave. The Israel clampdown even includes the Mediterranean Sea being blocked off by the Israeli navy which shoots any desperate Gazans who try to go close to the water so they can fish for food. In the most recent incidents, observed by the standing-by but inert Israeli army and police, truckloads of food were blocked, the drivers and aid workers removed and beaten, and the food was destroyed and burned before the trucks were treated likewise. In another incident settlers dumped huge boulders on one of the access roads to a checkpoint leading into Gaza, rendering it impassible and blocking any aid. Journalists and aid workers are meanwhile being killed by the army to prevent any reporting of what is going on while the US State Department refuses to condemn the activity. Biden called the interference with assistance convoys “outrageous” but has done nothing whatsoever about it, nor has he followed up on pledges to sanction Israelis who attack Palestinians or their property on the West Bank.
The whole problem is that Israel is a monster, an apartheid state that somehow feels it is empowered by God and the United States to kill all its neighbors and rob the American taxpayer to pay for and equip the slaughter. Israel is backed by an all-powerful US domestic lobby that includes unlimited Jewish money and activist Zionist groups like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) led by the hideous Jonathan Greenblatt and the venerable American Israel Political Affairs Committee (AIPAC), both of which are now busy raising money to defeat all congress critters who have ever criticized the Jewish state. ADL and AIPAC are also linked to “that old time religion” knucklehead Christian Zionists concentrated in the Republican Party who have their Scofield Bibles firmly embedded between their ears where their brains are supposed be. A partial solution would be to make the Jewish-Zionist groups register as foreign government agents directed by Israel under the the terms of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), which is exactly what they are, but that will never happen. President John F. Kennedy tried to register the predecessor group to AIPAC and many believe he paid the ultimate price for that affront as well as for his bid to stop Israel’s nuclear weapons program.
So, my fellow Americans, what should we do? Well, we should do whatever we can, which includes speaking out about how we have been sold out by our leaders and opinion makers, and we should continue to do that even knowing that they will try to silence us by destroying free speech in this country. It is all we have left and we should continue to oppose what is happening. The first step however, is to get rid of politicians like Joe and Donald, who have been completely corrupted by more than fifty years in the “system” and are totally sold out and irresponsible in their behavior. There are honest politicians and journalists out there and we just have to find them, support them and get them elected and in positions where they will be able to bring about change in how things are done in Washington! One might call it the New American Revolution to restore our rights and free us from foreign oppression!

Hello I'm working on magic system for my fantasy world project written in Campfire. I made most of the rules of it. However I feel like there's some holes to fill (I think there's a lot of it) but I'm not sure well. Let me tell you guys briefly before asking some question.
Before we start:

• The language of my country is not english. So I apologize for any mispronunciations or grammar errors.
• The magic system is inspried from: Warcraft, Avatar: the Last Airbender, League of Legends (Both the game itself and Arcane Netflix series), Fromsoftware's videogames (such as Dark Souls or Elden Ring).
• My fantasy project is still ongoing which includes races, civilizations, regions, etc. that involved this magic system. For now I planned two purpose for it: Novel writing and video game developing (My game dev experience kinda small tho). I might post the link of it later.
• You can use my magic system as the inspirations but please do not copy it and claim that's yours. This system which is part of my fantasy world means a lot to me.
• After you answered the question I may reply you with some of the details of my fantasy world, something I forgot to tell, etc. But if the answer or advice is helpful, thanks very much!
• As you can see this post is very long. Feel free to tell me where I forgot to write so I will write it.

Base Magic types

There are 10 base magic types with 5 pairs of the opposite each.
Fire - Frost
Land - Air
Light - Shadow
Life - Death
Order - Chaos
--------------------------------------

• Fire Magic: aka. Pyromancy. self explanatory.
• Frost Magic: aka. Cyromancy. self explanatory. However this types of magic can conjure waters.
• Land Magic: This magic type can shapes and bends ground materials like dirts, sands, stones, metals or even crystals.
• Air Magic: This magic type can manipulate winds and mist. But it can also produce electricity.
• Light Magic: This magic type uses the power of the light to guides, blessed or smites.
• Shadow Magic: This magic type uses the dark power mostly to conceal or bring despair.
• Life Magic: This magic type can shape, enhance, heal or drain any lifeforms that made of woods, bloods or flesh. While most civilizations used it mainly to heal, some controversial ones may prefers to drain other's life to enhance themselves or their allies instead.
• Death Magic: aka. Necromancy or Pestilence Magic. This magic type can extinquish lives, reanimate the remains or to control the decay, plague or even spores.
• Order Magic: aka. Arcane Magic. This magic type controls forces, time and space.
• Chaos Magic: aka. Demonology. This magic type can manipulate minds or desires of the others. It is said that the highly skilled chaos magic users such as warlocks can summon demons.

Mixed Magic types

Base Magic types may combine each others into the mixed magic types. Mixed magic types are various and may called differently depends on what it mainly used or what the culture sees (For example: The mixed magic type that combine Air and Frost together. The Draugrs from the northern land may called it Tempest Magic because it blows the very cold snowy wind, while the Nagas from southern different land might called it Wave Magic because it blows the wind and control (or conjure) the water at the same time in order to creates waves to destroy naval ships).
Example Mixed Magic types:

• Light + Fire = Sun Magic
• Light + Frost = Moon Magic
• Fire + Chaos = Hellfire Magic
• Fire + Life = Dragon Magic
• Frost + Death = Venom Magic
• Air + Order = Gravity Magic
• Land + Light = Prism Magic

Be able to cast two different spells from two different type is slightly common. However, casting two magic types in one spells is more difficult and requires more skills. It is said that casting a two magic type spell is like writing on the paper with one hand while the other hand is cleaning the dish. But some can do it easily like walking while eating. It is also said that the spellcasters who's able to cast three (or more) types in one single spells around the world is not more than 50.

Staves, Wands, Magical Weapon or other Magic Devices.

Magical staves or weapons exist and they're known more specificly as "The Magic Tools" (They aren't limited to weapons, they can be like normal tools like dwarven runehammer for smithing, templar's holy tome). They're used by spellcasters to makes the spells they casts more powerful, require less mana to cast or both. Which means they're serve as the spell enhancer not to makes the wielder able to casts spells. Non-magic casters aren't able to cast spells with these weapons.
Things to note that this is the only enchantment methods exist in my world. This means enchanting tools with the spells alone is impossible.
What separate the Magic Tools and the normal weapons is every single magic tools have the "Power Gem" attached to them. The Power Gems serve as the heart (or brain if more accurate) of the weapon. The spellcasters channels their spells through the magic weapon before unleash it out with more powerful one.
Power Gems are the object with energies wavering inside. The shapes are very various. Some are large some are small, some comes with the orb or the cube, some civilizations crafed rather fancier versions of it (for example: Dwarves crafted the power gems to look like the ordinary stones but they look like they're carved with the symbol with magical energies flowing within the writing. They called these kind of power gems "Runestone"). How they attached the gems on the weapon is depends. Some are permanently attached to the weapon, others may be designed to be detachable (both for weapons and gems).
Also the magic weapons with floating parts (Like many weapons in World of Warcraft) doesn't exist.
Magic Devices doesn't always comes in the form of weapons or tools. It can be the large machines like some goblins and gnomes inventions.
This is how it works: Spellcasters unleash their mana from their hands (or other body parts that equipped the device) through the devices part(s) and into the gem. And if the magic is the same type, the gems will amplify it, makes the spells stronger.
Although you can't cast any spells though magic devices. Because power gems also have their own magic types. So the casters must cast the exact same magic types as the gems in order to empower the spells. For example: Arcane mages can't empower their spells through Frost Staff while the frost mages can. However spellcasters while one of their hands is holding the device, they still can cast the spell with the other types from their other free hand.
It's possible to create the magic devices with two different gems. However it takes more advance skills and knowledge to craft. The more gem types you add, the more complex it requires to design.
There's also the automatically active magic devices that can runs by it's own without the interaction. These are called "Auto-Magic Device". But the important thing to note that while it can be activate by it's own, it's impossible to do so without any other power sources. The alternate power sources just like machines in real life can be various such as sunlight, water, wind, electric, etc. However the machines can cause damage to surroundings like corrupting lands, atmosphere or explodes if they're aged or badly designed.

Power Measuring, Rules and Tactics

Spellcasters have Mana inside their body flowing like a secondary veins. Mana is used in order to cast spells. It is like the secondary stamina but takes longer to recover.
Spells have four levels:

• Fast: The fast spells takes almost no time to channel. It rapidly but slowly drains users stamina. It's the quickest but weakest spells. Mostly used in reactions for quick reflexes.
• Normal: Normal spells takes fair amount of channeling times and mana consumption (channels about half to one minute). These spells are the most commonly used in battle both team and duel situations.
• Slow: Slow spells are the opposite of the fast spells, it takes long time to channel (5-10 minutes) and unleash the large amount of mana (but not as long as the ritual spells). While it can be uses in the battle, it is ideal to cast during open-battle while you're not being a high priority target. So casting slow spells in duel battle is highly not recommended unless your timing is very good.
• Ritual: The ritual takes very long time (several hours) to perform and consume almost all of the caster's mana. Casters must make sure their surrounding don't have any single threat. Some rituals requires more than one spellcaster.

Every spellcasters can casts magics with their bare hands. But it's not as strong (or longer duration) as casting it through magic devices. They don't have to call the spell's name or speaks in ancient or "magical" language to cast them.
Most spellcasters choose their primary base magic types. Every apprentice starts learning and practicing one. However it is wise to have secondary base magic type because 1). Sometimes casters have to fight against the enemies that have high resistance to the caster's main magic types. So they have to use the secondary one instead. 2). With two magic types combined together they turns into mixed magic type creating new spells which unlocks some new utilities.
When spellcasters battle, it is not winning by how strong the spells are, it also takes wits, cunning and reflexes just like two soldiers battling each others.
Body movements can also improves your spells both it's channeling and executing state. How spellcasters move their hands is depends on their cultures like each cultures taught different martial arts. Example: Monks in the distant continent are mostly have limb movements than mages in the (European styled) kingdom when casting spells, Ninjas will do hand-symbol like movement in order to casts, etc.

Learning and mastering the spells

Spells can be learn in many ways like learn from your senior, reading books, read how your opponent cast it or even create your own new one if you're creative enough. Though it can't be answered certainly how long the casters learn one spell. Some can recognize the structure of the spell easily while others can't truly master the spell even after 10 years of training.
Learning is but the first step of mastering new spell. Practicing it and eventually you will reach the spells max potential. That means your fireball will have the largest and hottest as it should be, Arcane shield while it blocks better it also consume less mana.

Climates, Temperatures and Terrains

Terrains, atmospheres and surrounding temperatures can also impacts how difficult the spells to cast. Some biomes may hotter or colder, life-rich forest or the lifeless wasteland. It's crucial where casters are makes magic types easier or harder. For example: In the scorching desert it's easier to cast fire magic. But in the other hand, fire magic is almost uncastable in the very cold blizzards in the snowy land. Necromancers will most likely have difficult times casting death magics in the lifeful elven forest.

Realms from the Magical Dimension

(I know we're talking about magic system here in this subreddit but they're heavily impacts the magic system)
There's also the nine magical lands from each magic types (We have 10 magic types. one that is representing land magic is the physical world of mortals). The only magical realms I can think of right now is The Realms of Chaos (aka. Hell), the domains of demons and sinners.
These realms are not fully filled with one type of pure magic. These magic s in these realms are just unforgivingly strong. Is there any tribes, kingdoms, empires or civilizations in these land? That still remains the mysteries.

Racial strength/weaknesses to magics and cultures.

Not every races masters the types of magics the same. Humans while be able to casts every types of magics, they're not very powerful at one or two specific types (they can still be very good at them though). Some races unfortunately are unable to perform one or two types. Example: Orcs and goblins are chaos-blooded so they're unable to cast arcane magics at all.

Questions:

• I'm intended to create a "Hard magic system". Do I made it correctly?
• When I writing how magic device works I noticed that how spellcasters use the magic weapons and how non-spellcasters operate the auto-magic devices is kinda conflicting. Gems requires mana to execute but the machines have only alternate energy. How do I fix that?
• My fantasy world have Golems created by dwarves. They are tall humanoid construct made of stone. But in order to activate them you have to insert the Magic Gem. Question is what kind of the gem? I have three choices tho 1). Life magic gem to give the golem life. Problem is Life magics interacts with woods or flesh. But the golems is made of stone. 2). Chaos magic gem to give them emotions like the spirits. But that's just give them feeling not makes them able to move. 3). Death magic to give them souls. Problem is if I choose this people may think every undead creatures require gems to reanimate which they're not all.
• Speaking of the "Undead" creatures. Undeads in my world has various types and forms. The question is just like the Golem case from my previous question: how does their dead body work? Though one thing I have to add is the undeads can be either mindless or able to maintain their free will. Mindless undead being is usually lesser ones like zombies or skeleton while those with free will are mostly in greater forms like vampires.
• And there's some "What makes most people unable to cast spells while some can" questions require to answer for good magic system. In this fantasy world the more clear question is "What makes one able to spend his/her mana from the body in order to cast spells while most people aren't able to use the mana and/or even have the mana at all". What I can tell you guys is almost every mages in my fantasy world belongs (or used to belongs) to some group, order, cult or organizations like The Holy Order, Mage academy, druid circle, the legions that have many warlocks, etc. Can you help me answer the question?
• If there's any questions to fill the holes for better magic system. just ask in the comment. I'll try my best to answer.

I finished another Radiant Dawn run on the hardest difficulty and felt the bug to talk about tier listing again. Thanks for indulging me. My list:
https://i.imgur.com/8d4aPNg.png
Some commentary, from worst to best.
F Tier:
Lyre - This character has literally nothing going for her. Lyre has terrible bases, the worst class in the game, bad growths, and no endgame potential beyond being a mediocre filler unit. I can't imagine a worse character in Fire Emblem. Maybe Sophia. Even if you wanted to do an all-Laguz run, she can't crack the top 10. She isn't even force deployed on any maps. I cannot think of a single positive thing to say about Lyre.
Fiona - With even worse bases than Lyre and a baffling availability schedule, Fiona should be the worst unit in the game, but at least her class is solid. Female Silver Knight has bad caps overall, but good weapon types, speed, and a top-tier mastery talent. If you can endure the grind, you can make a unit with real contributions in the endgame. I feel like the game designers hate this unit, though; they make her arrive in a map themed around rescuing, but don't even let you recruit her to do any rescuing. The very next map is indoors. After that, we go to a swamp which is once again themed around rescuing, but Fiona isn't even available! After that? Another indoor map! Then another swamp! Then more cliffs! 3-13 is considered an indoor map and penalizes horse units! Literally the first map with wide open spaces to take advantage of cavalry classes that allows you to deploy Fiona is in Part 4. Her class level and bases are even bugged (allegedly). I can't believe how this game is engineered to ruin Fiona, and it's a miracle that she isn't the worst unit in the entire game.
Kyza - While he can be crafted into a tolerable lategame unit (better than many on this list who rank higher), there just isn't any reason to do so. He's got a terrible class (only cat laguz are worse), bad bases, and joins in a big pile of units that are a hundred times better at everything he can do. Need a tank? You've already got Brom and Gatrie on the team, and they don't untransform halfway through enemy phase. Kyza has the crown for most forgettable, pointless unit, but at least if you do train him for the experience, you get a unit that can kind of do something late game.
Makalov - Easily the worst of all cav units, any chance Makalov has to be good late game is betrayed by his poor class caps. He nearly escaped F tier by having a few useful turns in Part 2, but after some consideration, I honestly think he's more of a liability than helpful. The only units he can reliably hurt in Geoffrey's Charge are the ones that give you bexp if you spare them. I don't even like putting out fires with him; let the yellow units do it, so they don't run off and get themselves killed. Makalov is just a trainwreck of a character. At least he gets Sol.
Pelleas - As a secret character with a completely unique weapon type, you'd think unlocking him gets you access to some outstanding lategame growth unit with a big payoff for all your hard work. Nope. You get the worst mage in the game instead. While I give him a glimmer of usefulness for the potential to learn staves, you have to invest heavily in him to get there and it's just pointless when even Tormod can do the same thing for cheaper. I can't imagine a run where I'm relying on Pelleas as my 12th string healer for the tower. If you haven't really looked into the numbers, and you decide one day "I'm doing a Pelleas run!" you're going to find his bases shocking. What were they thinking here?
D Tier:
Sephiran - Kind of an easter egg at the end of the game, I considered not rating him at all (like the Burger King), but eh, he contributes something against Ashera I guess. Can't say much more here. Maybe, in an ironman, if you've lost all your non-Micaiah staffbots, you'll be glad when he joins? For barely squeezing out a microniche he escapes F tier.
Sanaki - Maybe I'm underrating her, but I just don't see the point. She needs heavy investment (particularly in seraph robes) to be able to survive the bosses of the tower. When she joins, she's just another subpar mage who doesn't even have the decency to learn staves. Her one saving grace is that she doesn't count against your 10 tower selections, so if you slap a paragon on her and get her battle ready, she can bless Meteor or something and make some contributions. The resources (including combat xp) you pour into her are better used on your real tower units.
Astrid - I considered dumping her in F tier. What the heck happened to the star paragon unit of Path of Radiance? Somehow, she's turned into a turd of a growth unit with atrocious bases, mediocre growths, and wacky availability. I only pulled her out of the gutter because of her class, and even with really awful strength and defense caps, she can turn into a solid tower unit. I've used her before and found she was legitimately not a waste of space as early as 4-1, where she was popping falco knights. I could see her be a good bird sniper in the Izuka map. Still, like all bad growth units, she's just not worth the effort.
Kurthnaga - While he can be fun to train, again, why? He provides the least useful of all dragon auras and just takes XP from your many units who still need it. Maybe make a Kurth juggernaut once for the experience, and then never again. If he joined at the start of Part 4, I can imagine him getting boosted a couple tiers, but nah, you can't be picking up new projects this late in the game.
Meg - Often times called the worst unit in the game, she is...somewhat underrated... as a midgame tank. A project unit for sure, and not worth it, but Meg does grow into a strong unit around 1-E and for all of Part 3. She can solo Ragnell Ike and the field of laguz in 3-13 pretty easily. You've got better options for that, but I do recommend experiencing a Meg run once just to see that it can be done. Ultimately, though, Meg can't escape D tier because her awful class caps betray her in the end, and her best attribute (speed) gets cut off at the knees.
Vika - The Tormod Squad all suffer from the availability curse, but Vika has it worst, since she desperately needs training to be viable at all. As if laguz weren't bad enough already, they can't take Discipline or upgrade weapons by any means other than the long, dark strike rank grind, and Vika has no time at all to do it. That leaves only her joining maps to recommend her, and she can do things like poke-canto or rescue villagers in the swamp, so that's something. If you force yourself to train her, she does gain incredible speed, but hitting twice for 0 isn't impressive. Her class also has cat-like gauge drain, and she can't gain any experience in part 1 due to bizarre laguz xp math, leaving Vika no angles to improve.
Stefan - Thrown in at the end like an afterthought, Stefan is (I would argue) the worst of all the Tower Gotohs, that is, the units that just join at the very end to make sure you have high level units for the tower. With bad luck and a fairly bad class, the only reason I can recommend bringing Stefan is if you want an Alondite unit and you don't like Renning for some reason. He just doesn't serve any purpose. He even joins in a map that locks down his movement. Take his sword and bench him.
Ena/Gareth - I put them together because they fill the same role: buffing your units to fight Ashera. While Gareth is legendary for getting wrecked by magic, Ena is arguably worse, as Ashera's physical attack can kill her too. While that's not nothing, I can't justify taking someone out of D tier when their entire purpose is to help a faster clear in one map, and you don't even really need them.
C tier:
Tauroneo - I had a hard time rating Big T. He pops in to dominate just a couple of chapters before disappearing until part 4. He's the worst Marshall, but gets boosted a tier over Meg because of his efforts in part 1. Marshall is a pretty bad class, but if you want one anyway, you've got two much better options that have tons of availability, so don't bother.
Heather - In a game that doesn't care much about thiefy stuff, Heather just doesn't have a key role to fill. She gets you a couple of stat boosters, which you can promptly feed to your units that cap everything anyway. I'll give her a leg up out of the worst tiers because she can rescue you in Oliver's Mansion if you ran out of chest keys, and the Fortify Staff is really, really good.
Muarim - Unlike Vika, he dominates his few part 1 maps, and he's still viable in Part 4 with his bases. Not bad! Unfortunately, with so little time to train him, you really have to invest heavily to get him tower-ready, and why bother? He's got an awful class and competes with much better units. I suppose he gets a slot in an all-laguz run.
Tormod - He kills that obnoxious wyvern rider on the swamp map. I give him a whole tier for that, because man, that thing is annoying. Beyond that, he's helpful for several part 1 maps, and he can be trained up to use staves for the tower.
Leonardo - The worst member of a great class, Leonardo will absolutely wreck with Double Bow, but the road to get there is harrowing. Only his prf bow's speed boost gets him out of D tier. Maybe even F. He's just such a liability for so long that I can't recommend him.
Ilyana - Strange that in a game where availability is so restricted, the number one most available character is so bad! She was great in PoR, too, but thunder magic has been substantially nerfed. I give her a lot of credit for her join map, which is arguably the hardest map in the game, and if you really work hard to level her, she gets staves with an excellent magic score. As with most units this far down, though, she's just outclassed by all the better options who do the same thing, and you don't need that many backup staff units.
Ranulf - Force deployed for what feels like a dozen chapters, Ranulf mostly hangs around to shove people and occasionally do some damage. He's got the worst class in the game, but unlike Lyre, has great bases that give him a nice little midgame role and then not much else. If you manage to feed him experience in Part 4, he's somewhat endgame viable, as long as you don't have much competition for the laguz gem.
Nealuchi - Like Ranulf, the old bird has a bright spot in the middle of the game where he's got some utility, but is best ditched when his time is up. I find him essential for 2-P and 2-1, a good contributor for 2-E, and then...well, that's a C tier unit.
Kieran - Bummer that he's so reduced here versus PoR, but at least his class gets better caps than most cavs, and he's viable as Geoffrey's sidekick for those odd chapters in Part 2/3. I can't hate him. He's easy to train and turns into a viable, if underwhelming, tower unit, but joining Ike's crew so late in Part 3 hurts him, as he is immediately outclassed by like two dozen people that you've been training for ages.
Lucia - She gets a big boost for being essential for 2-1 and viable in Part 4. If I was going to train a bad trueblade, I'm picking her over Stefan at least, but her lack of availability and bad class push her to the middle tiers.
Renning - An unfairly hated tower gotoh, Renning is your best freebie Alondite user, and has tolerable enough bases to hang out and contribute with your actual good units. He's just mediocre compared to anyone you've actually built up yourself, and he's clearly worse than Giffca and the royals. Many people do their ironmans with all royals banned for the challenge, and if that's you, Renning suddenly becomes a valuable backup unit that I would maybe bump another tier. As-is, he's just mid.
Volke - Ditto what I said for Renning, except he uses the Baselard instead, doubles auras without help, and can instakill people. I usually take Stillness off and give it to Micaiah, though, so his durability is a problem. Volke is like a super-trueblade and worth considering if you are low on viable tower units.
Giffca/Mufasa - The lion king and his shadow are virtually the same unit, except that Giffca has to use a laguz gem to transform for some reason (Guess he was borrowing his boss's formshift scroll last game?). I usually refuse to use them on principle, but I can't count that against them. They absolutely wreck the Tower but serve no other purpose. As the best of the Tower Gotohs, I can't justify higher than C.
Nasir - The best of the dragon auras, Nasir enables some aura one-rounding strategies that make a big difference. Still, we're talking about one dang map. When I made this I struggled with whether or not he should be down with Gareth and Ena, but I'm giving him a lot of credit for his special aura and his invincibility versus magic.
Sigrun/Tanith - The lesser two of the three Seraph Knights, they have one of the best classes in the game, but mediocre bases and growths. There's only one Wishblade, unfortunately, and while Seraph Knight is the best class to use it, that just means there's no reason to bring multiple of them unless you want to goof off with triangle attack. If Marcia turned out poor or you didn't use her, I recommend grabbing Sigrun (higher base level) for the Wishblade and training her up in Part 4. If you aren't training these units, they still get credit for flying utility in the desert.
Ulki/Janaff - Can't decide which of the twins are better here. With insane bases and no xp gain at all, these guys show up in part 3 to help shove people and generally help out when someone is in trouble. While they stay viable to the end (to the delight of the zero percent growth community), I don't get too excited by their lategame contributions. The laguz gauge is their Achilles Heel in part 3; I just can't justify relying on them.
Bastian/Oliver - My hottest take of this tier list, I have argued for a long time that Oliver is underrated as your Renault/Yoder character; that is, your staffbot gotoh who fills in to rescue ironmans. Bastian serves the same role, but slightly better. If your Micaiah is bad or untrained and you haven't leveled any of the project mages, these guys are your strongest staff users.
Devdan - Just as forgettable here as in Path of Radiance, Devdan suffers from bad bases and availability, and as the worst member of a meh class, there's just no reason to invest in him. I give him a lot of credit for major contributions in two key chapters without being a liability, and if you do train him, his superior caps make him arguably better than Kieran in lategame. Oh, and in part 3, he can climb that one ledge to keep it open. That's...something.
Calill - Helping out on a couple more midgame maps than Devdan, Calill is never good, but she can chip a bit here or there and usually isn't a liability. Anyone who can do anything in Elincia's Gambit gets a push in my book. If you do wind up making good use of her and slap on a crown, she's another backup staff unit with okay stats.
Lethe/Murderkaiser - The cat and tiger duo once again shows up midgame with good stats, bad growths, and a spot waiting for them on the bench. I find that they make a great contribution in part 2, remain viable in part 3, and...well, they exist in part 4 I guess. Mordecai can be built into a viable tank thanks to having vastly more time to grow compared to Muarim, and better everything compared to Kyza. Lethe has dramatically better strength than her idiot sister. Too bad the bad classes keep them out of the good tiers.
B tier:
Edward - We're getting out of the riffraff and into some viable units. While Edward is one of the weaker Dawn Brigade growth options, he is super helpful in numerous key early chapters where you desperately need it, and he can grow into a complete powerhouse. Just watch his growths as he naturally levels throughout part 1, and if he fails to pop off, bench him. If he crushes those strength and defense growths, though, he's an excellent choice for a Part 3 carry, as he's on the shortlist of units who can solo 3-13 - not the best one, but much easier to level than Meg, for example. His luck sword is I guess the worst of the DB prf weapons, but it's still decent for a long time, before you toss it for Alondite. If he didn't fall off in late part 1, he'd be A tier. Also, he's got a bad class and competes with at least one or two better units for that precious Alondite.
Soren - With magic nerfed in this game, Soren has no chance of breaking into the highest tiers, but he sure tries. I'd argue he is the best mage in the game. He's not too difficult to train, hits high magic numbers, and turns into the game's best staffbot (arguably) by endgame. While I'd rather bring a free Bastian than a high effort Soren to the tower, Ike's BFF gets a big boost from his super high availability. I never feel like he's a drag on the party.
Rhys - Like Soren, but you don't need to wait for staves, alright, Rhys probably snatches the prize of lategame staffbot from Soren, but not by much. He's hurt by awful physicals, which can make him seem like a liability, but your list of part 3 staff units is sparse, so he's going to contribute a lot every run, no matter what you have planned for him.
Mist - She's much weaker than Rhys in every way, but when she promotes, she gets Canto, which is wonderful for a frail unit. While Florete is bugged (or sucks by design, depending on who you ask) and there is no Sonic Sword, Mist is still viable as a mobile healer who won't let you down through the entire game. I know I keep saying different people are the "best lategame staffbot" but I swear this is the last one, it's really Mist.
Zihark/Volug - I paired them for nearly identical availability and the legendary earth/earth affinity, which gives them a niche in certain difficult part 3 maps where their contributions are invaluable. Neither character scales well into endgame (there are better options for trueblade) and they aren't invincible like Big T, but at least they show up for work. Use them as Jeigans in part 1 and tanks in part 3, then say goodbye.
Micaiah - Often called the worst lord in the game, she...probably deserves it. Oh no, I'm about to call her the actual best staffbot, aren't I? No, she's difficult to raise up due to being such a frail liability all game and having forced promotions. She gets big credit for a couple key Thani nukes early game, and she's a force deployed physics bot from 3-13 onward. Have I overrated her? Maybe, but I like healers.
Geoffrey - With a couple chapters designed to make him look good, Geoffrey is essential to clear the game, but his class caps keep him from getting into the elite levels. I find that he levels quickly in part 4 (without paragon, even) and holds his own. I really wish he joined with Kieran and the others. By endgame, he's a viable filler unit.
Nolan - A godsend in the early chapters, the Dawn Brigade would have died in the cradle without Nolan. He gets an amazing prf weapon and is easily viable as a part 3 carry, but I find him inadequate to solo 3-13 or reliably fight Ike. His strength and defense growth is just too poor, and he lacks the avoid to make up for it. Still, he has the best beorc class caps in the game, and after being reliable and useful for so long, you can reward him with careful bexp abuse to make sure he can slam the tower bosses with 62 attack power. There's something satisfying about seeing a human inflict lion-like damage to gods.
Laura - I always see her at the bottom of tier lists, but your only healer in part 1 (Micaiah doesn't count) deserves some love. She's a huge liability on the field, but think about how much harder Part 1 gets if she dies. She stays viable in part 3 (I usually savior backpack her with somebody) and is, yes, another top tier lategame staffbot. For being an essential unit for so long, and for having endgame potential, I can't see lower than B tier.
Simba - The lion prince needs paragon and some effort to get rolling, but boy does he! As an acceptable alternative to those cheating royal laguz, Skrimir is just an unstoppable powerhouse who can solo entire maps in part 4 if you let him. Until the white dragons show up, Skrimir is never in danger from anything other than his own stupid laguz gauge, which is why he's not in A tier. If you haven't tried slapping paragon and adept on Skrimir and letting him eat all of 4-P, try it once, it's hilarious.
Royal Trio - I put Nailah ahead of the bird brains for her availability, but they all have the same role: hold your hand through part 4. Tibarn can actually die to the crossbow guy in 4-2, which makes me laugh, and Naesala is downright mortal by comparison. I like to leave Pass on Nailah from part 1 and give her chest keys for Oliver's Mansion. All of these units are insanely strong and help trivialize the tower, which is why I don't bring them.
Singing Siblings - I know, putting Rafiel lower on the list than the others is blasphemy, but he's barely around through the whole game. He's widely accepted as the best tower bird (though I prefer Reyson), but other than Oliver's Mansion, what hard missions does he help out on? Rafiels' role is to help fight dragons and gods, which is a pretty good resume, so he's up this high. Leanne wins my heart for Elincia's Gambit alone, but she also helps make the bridge and desert maps more tolerable.
Marcia - A hot take here, but Marcia has a lot of availability and a positive, if underwhelming, contribution through most of it. By lategame, she turns into an excellent flier (Seraph Knights are truly amazing) and is, in my opinion, the single best Wishblade candidate in the entire game. Marcia never crushes this game like she does Path of Radiance, but I'm here for her.
Boyd - Notoriously tough to get rolling, Boyd has those insane Reaver caps and a lot of time to reach them. While he's just a project unit in part 3, he does crest that hill eventually and turn into a complete wrecking ball who trivializes the rest of the game. He easily hits 40 strength and isn't that tough to train up to 35 speed with bexp. He's the game's best Urvan user (as his caps are easier to hit than Nolan) and I only don't put him higher because it's a bit of a struggle to get him going.
A tier:
Rolf - People are going to lose their minds over this one. I'm always astonished how many people don't know that Rolf has 75% strength growth! Snipers are easy to level and have a great payoff, meaning that even if Shinon wins your double bow, you'll never regret bringing a second killer deadeye through the whole game. Imagine if Leonardo had Rolf's growths. Little bro is like Dmitri, but in the Wii era. Don't sleep on Rolf. He's amazing.
Nephenee - Sometimes overrated, sometimes underrated, Nephenee has top notch availability and is an essential unit for several chapters, and while she can get lost in the Greil Mercs spam, she quickly turns into a stellar well-rounded infantry unit who can carry the game. She's never bad and turns into another excellent Wishblade user, who I only put below Marcia for the tower due to lack of flying/canto. Due to high availability and never needing particular training attention, though, Nephenee skirts into the top tiers.
Mia - Unlike Path of Radiance, Mia starts viable and quickly takes off like a rocket, turning into your best Trueblade. Lacking only one strength in her final caps versus Edward, she's easier to level and, imo, your best overall Alondite unit. Because she is around so long and always helpful, she gets a bump.
Brom/Gatrie - Brom almost gets the nod for being an essential unit for so Part 2, but his falloff is noticeable, and his endgame potential as a Marshall is worse than, say, Nephenee. Gatrie picks up that slack and remains as one of your best Greil Mercs for the rest of the game. I could see someone valuing Brom's early contributions more and swapping this order. Both units suffer from the usual Marshall problems: bad caps, bad movement, competing with far better units for the best items.
Titania - The stalwart ride-or-die arch-paladin of Tellius, Titania doesn't carry hard like she does in the previous game, but she's immediately dominant and stays that way virtually forever. She has reasonable class caps (compared to other cavs, anyway) and is fine to bring to the tower, but you will notice a dropoff. Regardless of tower viability, she's so damn strong for so long that I can't rank her any lower.
Oscar - While he starts weak and is imprisoned by truly awful tier 2 caps, Oscar is still solid and provides that lovely earth affinity through a ton of chapters. Once he breaks into tier 3, he's immediately one of your best units, and stays that way for a long time. I almost rated Titania higher, but I think Oscar surpasses her and is a candidate for an early crown. If not for those tier 2 caps, he'd be S tier.
Shinon - Embarrassed by the "9 strength incident" in Path of Radiance, Shinon hit the gym and turned into a powerhouse from the moment he joins until the end of the game. He's never not great, and he only gets better as he gets his outstanding third tier caps and SS rank weapon. While he usually needs bexp to hit str and def caps, that's more a function of the highish caps than any weaknesses in growths. Shinon is almost breaking into S tier. If he was a flying archer, he'd be the next Haar.
Aran - The wrongest opinion in all of Fire Emblem is that Aran is bad. Just wrong, wrong, wrong. Aran starts as a weak unit among numerous other weak units, is easily trainable, and quickly pops off - 75% strength growth, again! - to turn into a juggernaut that surpasses everyone except the royals. By Part 3, Aran has made the rest of the Dawn Brigade redundant, and by 3-13, he's a walking god. I always laugh when I hear commentators talk about how difficult part 3 is, then minutes later, mention how bad Aran is. Well, of course it's hard if you don't use the best unit! I only keep Aran out of S tier because of DB availability and because his class caps keep him from stomping as hard in the tower, where he rarely doubles.
S tier:
Jill - Flying utility gives her the bump into the upper echelons. Slightly harder to train than Aran, she benefits immensely from the str and def items (which are useless to Aran, who caps immediately) and turns into another juggernaut. While she stays weaker than Aran throughout most of the game, the mobility is a factor, and she grows into one of your best endgame units. If you had to average the two games together, Jill is probably the best character in Tellius. Or Titania, it's hard to say, but it's definitely a canto redhead.
Sothe - Play this game: a trickster god deletes one character from your rom, permanently. Seize squares and game over conditions get reassigned, but you now have to play the rest of the game without that unit, forever. What's the absolute worst unit to lose? I cannot think of a worse unit to lose than Sothe. Is the Dawn Brigade even possible without him? I'm sure someone has done it. After making the game playable, Sothe falls off hard, but he can be trained into a sub-par Volke if you want. I contend that Tellius literally could not be saved without him. So why isn't he the absolute top tier? Well, I guess I'm weighing the rest of the game higher, but I'm not 100% convinced that's right.
Elincia - What a glow-up from PoR! The devs nerf her in 2-P to keep it difficult, but as soon as she gets her weapon, she turns into a flying healer who also wrecks things. I think she's a lock for the tower, even if you are dedicating six tower slots to royals and lions. While a weaker staffbot than some others I mentioned, she's good enough. And she flies! Elincia is just awesome.
Reyson - Speedrunners and LTCers prefer Rafiel for a better Turn 1 against Ashera, but I like Reyson's high movement and canto, and you have laguz gems by that point. As for the rest of the game, Reyson has by far the best availability of all herons - which isn't saying much, I know. I just wish this game wasn't so weird with dancers.
Ike vs Haar for the championship - People have debated between Ike and Haar since the game came out. I put Ike 2nd because, while he carries harder with Ragnell, he's still a normal (albeit stronk) infantry swordlocked unit for a long time before then. Haar saves your bacon in Part 2 (twice) and then carries Part 3 just for fun afterwards. He also has the best boss convos in 2-P and 4-E-2. Ike gets the boss convo award in 4-P, so this most critical of category tips the scales toward Haar. The real answer is availability + domination = top of the top tier. As if Haar wasn't stupid OP enough, he gets the best beorc defense cap in the entire game, because why not? He even beats out the Marshalls on Strength! And his mastery skill is better! Honestly, what were they thinking here? While Ragnell Ike is the strongest unit in the game, Totality Ike is only the second strongest.

Embracing Netanyahu does not constitute a foreign policy
It is extremely difficult to discern what might be the thinking behind the clueless President Joe Biden and his Blinken-Austin-Mayorkas foreign-policy-plus national security team. Or rather, the problem is that there does not appear to be any thinking about it at all if one measures it by what benefits it brings to the American people. It all actually seems to derive from a desire to construct a narrative that will win the presidential election coming up in November, which will fortunately be run against a deeply flawed GOP candidate named Donald J. Trump. But look at what is on the Biden record: the country’s southern border with Mexico is a porous as a Swiss cheese, allowing literally millions of illegal immigrants into the USA since Biden took office; Washington is both de facto and de jure simultaneously fighting and losing two unnecessary wars involving nuclear powers which has cost a nearly bankrupt Treasury well into the hundreds of billions of dollars; and the White House is needlessly sanctioning non-hostile competitors like China while also making illegal popular social media sites like TikTok which have committed the sin of reporting and disseminating accurate narratives about good old “best friend and closest ally” Israel. Predictably, neither of the assertions about the value of the Jewish state is true, nor is it a democracy, but who cares when you’re having fun shooting people and spending someone else’s money?
Oh, and just try to exercise your first amendment free speech rights by demonstrating against Israel’s slaughter of upwards of 40,000 Palestinian civilians using US provided weapons and you will be hit on the head by a cop, possibly arrested, and even expelled from college! If you want to see where this is all going, check out reports of the recent FBI detention and interrogation of distinguished Israeli historian Ilan Pappe seeking to enter the US through the Detroit International Airport. Pappe is a critic of the Netanyahu government and of US policy so he was held, questioned in detailed about his contacts, and had his phone copied before being allowed to proceed. Meanwhile, a group of top federal judges have signed a letter stating that they will strike back against the demonstrating students by refusing to hire any graduates of Columbia University Law School as law clerks. And there even is a bill currently before Congress that would empower the government to label the foreign protesters “antisemites and terrorism supporters” and deport them, with some going to Gaza with the expectation that they would be killed, possibly by the mighty Israel Defense Forces (IDF)! It would be a startling new development to punish those whose crime consists mostly of trespass even given the rather loose ethical boundaries established by the war on terror and the Antisemitism Awareness Act! Or indeed one might follow the Senatorial route led by a chirping Lindsey Graham who recommends dropping a nuclear bomb on Gaza to kill everyone who has survived the Israeli onslaught. The area then might be developed after the radiation dies down for those splendid seaside villas for Jews only suggested by the esteemed Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner.
To be sure, Joe sometimes mumbles something that might just be viewed positively, like his recent blocking on humanitarian grounds of a consignment of bunker buster bombs on their way to Israel due to Benjamin Netanyahu’s insistence that, no matter what, he would invade Rafah to completely destroy Hamas and whoever else might happen to get in his way. Joe predictably reversed that decision last Tuesday, approving a $1 billion supply of munitions after he came under pressure from the Israelis and their many friends in the US, to include a host of Israel-loving GOP congressmen who have carried their fight on behalf of the Jewish state to The Hague, where the International Criminal Court (ICC) is being directly threatened with American wrath lest it try to punish Israeli leaders for their genocide in Gaza. As Bill Astore put it “Last week, President Biden appeared to have strapped on a temporary spine in delaying shipments of ‘offensive’ weaponry to Israel for its murderous invasion of Rafah in Gaza. That spine had a short duration as Biden announced [Tuesday] renewed shipments of tank and mortar rounds to Israel.” Congress has also gotten into the game with the GOP controlled House of Representatives having passed a bill that would compel the White House to continue all arms shipments to Israel. Joe might also be thinking of political contributions, as American Jews donate the majority of Democratic Party funding, as well guaranteeing a friendly media in his campaign as they dominate both the news and the entertainment industries. See, Joe can figure some things out all by himself every once in a while!
Here’s the problem with Joe, apart from the roughly $12 million in gift-donations from Jewish/Israeli sources that he has obtained in his political career. His tactical thinking does not extend beyond his personal interests, to include his corrupt children, a trait very much like that which is possessed by his good buddy Netanyahu who is facing corruption charges of his own in Israel. Joe believes he is much cleverer than he actually is and thinks that an occasional mild verbal criticism of the Israeli behavior will convince his target audience of voters that he really is concerned about the continuing death toll in Gaza, where the Israelis have already been taking initial steps in their attack on Rafah by using their tanks to penetrate into the targeted zone to destroy and kill.
And as for the reported completion and initial functioning of the floating pier connected to Gaza constructed by US military engineers, it will not dramatically change reality on the ground even though Biden is claiming that it will enable the entry of much needed food and medical aid. Israel will still “security” control what is allowed to enter into Gaza proper while Netanyahu is seeing the pier as a bridge to nowhere, usable primarily to export excess Palestinians to foreign lands that are either willing or unwilling to accept them. And its existence creates some interesting possibilities. As it presumably will be logistically supported on the pier itself by US-based personnel, Netanyahu might well be tempted to stage a false flag attack blamed on Hamas to kill a few Americans and lock Biden into Israel’s right-wing Gaza policies from now on. Bear in mind that, in reality, Biden could care less if all the Palestinians might be “disappeared” just as he would like to see any and all critics of Israel be subjected to the harshest punishments, including prison and denial of basic rights as well as being stripped of government benefits. He has called the protesters “lawbreakers” and spreaders of “chaos” and congress is currently investigating the alleged “subversive organizers” of the “anti-Israel terrorists.”
Biden and company, as well as Trump, who is advising the Israeli government to “finish the job” with the Palestinians, clearly have no actual red lines that must not be crossed when it comes to Israel. The war of extermination of the Gazans has been accompanied by a more hidden war being conducted by the Jewish settlers on the West Bank, which has been largely under Israeli occupation since 1967. The frequently armed settlers have been attacking unarmed Palestinians, destroying their homes and businesses, ruining their crops and vineyards, and even killing them on occasion. Israeli police and army standing by do nothing to stop the fun and even frequently participate themselves by arresting and beating Palestinians who are guilty only of being Palestinian. Hundreds of Palestinians have been arrested without charges apart from “preventive detention” since the troubles began in October and the jails are overflowing. The clear intention, verbalized without any shame by senior Israeli government officials like Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, is to produce a Greater Israel cleansed of Arabs. And Biden, who pretends to favor a two-state solution to the unrest, helps the process along by vetoing UN resolutions that would help create separate sovereignty for Palestine.
Some of the most outrageous recent developments have been the settlers’ interfering with shipments of food and medicines entering into Gaza, a point that a faux-sympathetic Biden stresses repeatedly when pontificating regarding bringing aid to the starving people who are trapped with nowhere to go inside the enclave. The Israel clampdown even includes the Mediterranean Sea being blocked off by the Israeli navy which shoots any desperate Gazans who try to go close to the water so they can fish for food. In the most recent incidents, observed by the standing-by but inert Israeli army and police, truckloads of food were blocked, the drivers and aid workers removed and beaten, and the food was destroyed and burned before the trucks were treated likewise. In another incident settlers dumped huge boulders on one of the access roads to a checkpoint leading into Gaza, rendering it impassible and blocking any aid. Journalists and aid workers are meanwhile being killed by the army to prevent any reporting of what is going on while the US State Department refuses to condemn the activity. Biden called the interference with assistance convoys “outrageous” but has done nothing whatsoever about it, nor has he followed up on pledges to sanction Israelis who attack Palestinians or their property on the West Bank.
The whole problem is that Israel is a monster, an apartheid state that somehow feels it is empowered by God and the United States to kill all its neighbors and rob the American taxpayer to pay for and equip the slaughter. Israel is backed by an all-powerful US domestic lobby that includes unlimited Jewish money and activist Zionist groups like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) led by the hideous Jonathan Greenblatt and the venerable American Israel Political Affairs Committee (AIPAC), both of which are now busy raising money to defeat all congress critters who have ever criticized the Jewish state. ADL and AIPAC are also linked to “that old time religion” knucklehead Christian Zionists concentrated in the Republican Party who have their Scofield Bibles firmly embedded between their ears where their brains are supposed be. A partial solution would be to make the Jewish-Zionist groups register as foreign government agents directed by Israel under the the terms of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), which is exactly what they are, but that will never happen. President John F. Kennedy tried to register the predecessor group to AIPAC and many believe he paid the ultimate price for that affront as well as for his bid to stop Israel’s nuclear weapons program.
So, my fellow Americans, what should we do? Well, we should do whatever we can, which includes speaking out about how we have been sold out by our leaders and opinion makers, and we should continue to do that even knowing that they will try to silence us by destroying free speech in this country. It is all we have left and we should continue to oppose what is happening. The first step however, is to get rid of politicians like Joe and Donald, who have been completely corrupted by more than fifty years in the “system” and are totally sold out and irresponsible in their behavior. There are honest politicians and journalists out there and we just have to find them, support them and get them elected and in positions where they will be able to bring about change in how things are done in Washington! One might call it the New American Revolution to restore our rights and free us from foreign oppression!

Hello everyone!
I have recently installed OpenWRT (23.05.3) on my Banana Pi R3.
I have a 1Gbps upstream connected to the Router RJ45 WAN port, and I have enabled both 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi, on different access points.
I set the 5 GHz WiFi as follows:

• Channel 56: Much more free than 36 according to the scan, I tried using higher channels such as 100 which are empty on the scans, but my devices failed to find the WiFi signal.
• Width 160 MHz: I have multiple 160 MHz capable cards and I need the most out of WiFi
• Mode AX (it was the default)
• Transit power 20 dBm (also the default)
• I did set the country code to my country
• Left everything else on default
  • Coverage Cell Density: Disabled
  • Distance Optimization: Auto
  • Fragmentation Threshold: off
  • RTS/CTS Threshold: off
  • Force 40 MHz mode: obviously off
  • Beacon Interval: 100

Here's the problem, on my Android device, I get crazy high speeds, on speedtest that goes go up to the Internet, 888 mbps down / 791 mbps up, which is good.
On my Windows 11 device, which does support WiFi 6, is connected to the same Access Point and runs an Intel WiFi 6 AX201 160MHz wireless card, I get up to 800 mbps up and....... 5 mbps down.
This issue is exclusive to this Windows device so far, I tried reinstalling the Intel drivers instead of using the pre installed ones, no luck.
On another Windows 10 laptop the issue is reverted I get 3mbps down and 300 mbps up (the latter probably capped by the laptop WiFi card).
On OpenWRT I have enabled software flow offload and hardware flow offload, I tried disabling them too which seemed to produce about the same outcome, maybe slightly slower but it might be margin of error.
Unfortunately as much as I'd like to just use an ethernet cable, I can't. And I can't figure out what's going on here. Did anybody have any similar issue?
Very happy to provide further info if requested!
