"The Omestrian Ether that powers Madrys circulates through her much like how a person's ether circulates through them. Constantly powering her while diminishing the amount that could be lost."

I mean, I would think since Madrys is a machine the Omestrian ether that powers her would run out (since it's used as fuel), so unless she is connected to an actual Omestri slave at all times the "constantly powering her" thing wouldn't make sense. Madrys is the first of her kind, a really powerful war machine, so her first iterations would require a sizable amount of ether to function. So, I'm thinking in her wolf form she would probably be able to function for around 2 hours per vial.

[@CollectorOfMyst] Thanks for the kind words about the RP! Unfortunately we're getting to the point where one more character might stretch things out a bit too much. If anyone drops out I'll be sure to let you know, and if you're still interested in joining you can send me a CS.


[@The Angry Goat] Sounds good to me, but remember, losing most of one's own ether reserves leaves them in a near-comatose state. So he's going to be in severe danger if he has to use all his ether in a battle. I'm honestly not sure why he doesn't use the ether vials though, it's basically the same concept only he'd be able to use his power a bit more frequently (and wouldn't be in danger of passing out on the battlefield). Also, I feel like as a proud Varyan inquisitor he'd be more than willing to use the ether collected from conquered people. That's just me though.

"There needs to be something to keep people from using other people's stored reserves or that'd be the first goal of any priest vs. priest battle."

Um, I don't think just any priest can drain the ether from someone else. I mean, isn't that Ziotea's second ability? Most other priests wouldn't be able to do that. In order to draw the ether from someone, people use a needle sort of device, not a magic spell. I thought we established that?

Anyway, I'm comfortable with everything else in your post.

[@Draken]Will read through your CS again. Expect a post within the next hour or so. :)
