    Ok. Seems the dream wizard doesn't realize that Pandora is behind lot of those events ...
    The "Why does that sound" sounds almost like it's not COMPLETELY new for her.
    That wouldn't work. It's the "magic being in open" itself which is creating problem - because people are now researching magic and may be going to get result even without Pandora's help ...
    Tempted? That's optimal strategy for her.
    Unlikely. She may still risk it hoping it will help to Adrian. Also, I think removing marks without awakening is impossible. Destroying research ... well, maybe. But her style would be more something like creating some false informations which are going to complicate the research ...
    Yeah, it might be him. Also, I suspect that dream wizard is not saying whole truth from start.
    Hmmmmm .... makes sense. Especially that bit about Adrian expecting someone is listening.
    Sound completely like Voltaire.
    Unlikely. While the one behind Disco Wizard may actually want to provoke the change in magic, it definitely doesn't seem like what Arthur Arthur would do.
    Hmmm ... I would expect that during this kind of work people are routinely scanned which would reveal that.

    I make the key phrase in all this exposition is "for humans." This could clue Pandora that "magic" isn't some all-powerful entity because by implication Immortals don't have any limitation on their magic except what they have agreed on among themselves. It isn't a long jump from there to the conclusion that the "magic" the Emissary thinks he's speaking for is really a coalition of Immortals or even just one Immortal--Voltaire comes to mind. And if half-Immortals fall in the human category for this purpose, Pandora is going to war.
    Still no clue why Grace would be the chosen prophet. Except maybe that part-uryuoms' magic is of a different nature and while as a part-human, Grace would have to make ridiculous efforts to gain human-type spells, as was explained somewhat long-windedly in the last Q&A. Unless, of course, "magic itself" changes the way magic works for humans, or at least for Grace. Or something.

    And for a little while, Ashley's dad will believe that the Ranma 1/2 mangas warped her mind.

    Given how Elliot and boy-Sarah were cuddled up together at Grace's birthday party, I find it quite believable that Elliot would be willing to have sex as a girl with a boy-Ashley. I can also imagine Elliot being so mentally focused on the risks of Ashley becoming pregnant that Elliot overlooks the risk of "herself" getting pregnant. I find your fanfic scenario thus to be  entirely plausible.

    I'm hoping we see Pandora playing an RPG with Tensaided. Or maybe a Pandora card?

    You may be ironic here; the Discworld series started before the Harry Potter series. And before both of them, Ursula K. Le Guin's Wizard of Earthsea featured a magic academy.

    By all that is lawful good, never a cat girl with four breasts.  Or anything with 4 breasts as drawn by Dan.
    On the other hand, based on this sketch book, a mouse girl, (for Elliot's cat boy to play with) seems like it would be a great idea.

    Of course she has to meet Tedd first (she technically already has since he was there when Elliot and Ashley went to talk to Susan), unless of course Ellen gets some new transformation beams and Elliot asks her to zap Ashley.
    Ashley currently only knows what Elliot can do, as far as what Elliot knows he can do (Read yer darned spellbook Elliot!!), she's barely aware of what Nanase can do (Nanase only told her about the fairy doll), she doesn't yet know what Ellen can do, and she inadvertently learned that Susan may have magic based on Diane being told she has the potential of being a vampire hunter and Nanase blurted out that she believed that Diane is Susan's sister. Heck Susan's known as the Hammer Queen at MNHS, which means she hasn't been very discreet about using magic, even if Ashley never saw Susan using a hammer in school, knowing that magic exists and that Susan's friends have magic, Ashley would certainly believe that Susan would be using magic to summon hammers.
    Anyway, Ashley has yet to officially meet the rest of the gang, and Edward would likely want to do a background check on her as well, it may be a while before she is invited to Tedd's house, so I don't see her getting to experience the TFG anytime soon.

    Yes, she can alter her. Which none of the other immortals we've seen doing. Can they? All the other shapechangers are either Our Heros or the vampire Susan killed. That could support that the shapechangers are actually more powerful than the Immortals, except for Pandora, at least on the material plane of the Moperverse.
    But getting back on subject, since Pandora can look like anything, I really appreciate her choice of legs and other parts and would like to see...

    Okay, for those of you on this forum who are asking themselves "Methuselah's Children? Lazarus Long?", The Old Hack is referring to a work and a character created by Robert Heinlein. Lazarus Long is pretty clearly an alter-ego of Heinlein, who may have felt he'd outlived his own time when he created the character.

    It may be an unwarranted assumption, but it's not odd that we assume exposition given by a character is correct. It's because it's such a common device in fiction going back a long, long way. Shakespeare has tons of it, particularly in his historical plays, where there are battles that wouldn't fit into the theater. In radio it can hardly be avoided unless you have an anonymous narrator.
    There are exceptions. In a mystery, you can hardly avoid having different stories from different people or it wouldn't be a mystery, would it? But, still, you expect the detective to be telling the truth as he or she sees it.
