Phantomlink595, thank you for the link. I saved the page. The original assumption simply seemed wrong to me, hence all else fell in a huge swoop. Since I'm still shellshocked and migraine-y I'm thinking it's me, not the argument (although I really didn't need Chthulu tonight; Lovecraft is a love of mine, but not when I'm trying to pronounce the names, and everything is eldritch and cyclopean and noisome and stygian etc., which can get to be a bit much at times).

Weiss is a mage. I am stricken; I never would have guessed. But it makes more sense that she wasn't originally schooled in an academy but had an education at home where she was taught magery (based on the guy who slashed her over the eye in fencing). Is that what truly makes the Schnees special?

So if you can use runes, it makes you a mage. If so I'm just going to claim Dr. Ormond is Glynda's brother and go with whatever Glynda has and does. Purple! Purple aura! Ormond mutters runes to himself as he heals from a distance. He uses blue and red Dust so his semblance will appear Purple! Somebody stop me before I Purple more!
