    True. The main thrust of my argument is that Hope needs to establish a cover identity with paper trail included if she wants to have access to the full range of human endeavors, and she apparently has not done that yet, as evidenced by her paying with cash instead of a bank card.

    Her current antics have something to do with contacting Sarah indirectly, letting Sarah know who she is. You'd think a cell phone might be easier. She can afford one, if their prices track with ours; she's spent more on cards.

    Non-burner cell phones generally require that you have some form of verifiable identification, since the phone companies have caught on that anybody who wants to avoid being identified to the degree of not even disclosing a billable mailing address, bank account, or a state ID card is likely up to something criminal.

    It depends on the purpose. Casual storage, such as copying your vacation photos, needs to be easily written using consumer-grade equipment. On the other hand, doom-proofing the history and culture of your civilization so that people thousands of years later will be able to read it, can be done using more difficult and durable methods, e.g. the aforementioned analog records formed out of solid metal.

    Ah, you're thinking they are not looking to steal from 'royalty', but specifically from royalty that passes their 'evil' test. That's plausible, and more or less fit with their current behavior; . . . counterpoint, Mist's looking for royalty in the shared dream did not seem to be selective at all.

    Find Royalty first, then determine if they are evil. I figure that they want to kill two birds with one stone and create goodwill by being able to point to how they removed a hated tyrant, and can potentially remove more in the future.

    What it looks like is that Seers are able to learn a spell by observing it as Wizards do, but they can not cast them directly and must instead externalize them by infusing them into objects such as wands, staves, etc., which they can then use. Seers seem to also not get their “own” spells and are entirely dependent on learned ones.

    I've been dealing with a much smaller annoyance: trying to find a thermostat setting on a space heater that will cause it to produce heat at night when the temperature in here is 65 degrees, but won't cause the thing to produce heat during the day when it's nearly 80 degrees.

    I can not wrap my mind around wanting the heat to be on when it is 65 Fahrenheit. I am sweating and need the cooling on at that temperature.

    On the other hand, environments that would destroy magnetic tape (which I believe has a lifetime; the high speed data tapes did) or trash a CD leave a grungy record that can be cleaned and still used.

    How naive we were when we thought that CDs were physically robust enough to last for a century.

    If you want an analog record disc to really survive for centuries (for historical/archival purposes), then you can cut the disc out of aluminum like the Voyager spacecraft records.

    It is likely that transformation can change your appearance and voice to resemble a much older or younger person, but your underlying vitality/lifespan is not altered. Arthur for example could make himself look like a teenager if he chose, but it would not give him a teenager’s vitality, nor the extra fifty years of life expectancy of being an actual teenager.
