So they could really be abusing the system if they wanted to?

@Meta

They could not. We detect malicious intent in all citizens.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

But if you don't actually remember it, how do you know they're not actually using it maliciously?

@Meta

Our promise as a nation.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

Then wouldn't people be opposed to having their minds modified, especially temporarily? That's a lot of control to be giving up.

@Meta

Because of the nature of the Sevenfold Covenant, screening has always been extremely thorough. We advertise the goods with a guarantee of one's safety, using our reputation as a nation. The use of any magic altogether is restricted to those with malicious intent, much thanks to Gold Scribes.

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

Wouldn't business be more lucrative if it were remembered?

@Meta

It would be. But try as they might, Gold Scribes cannot make the sight-unseen effect permanent.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

So... you guys have good experiences that we can't even remember?

@Meta

Basically. I mean, we cannot remember them either!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

Can they remember the taste after the effect wears off?

@Meta

They cannot. Which is, in fact, what keeps people coming, because whatever those tastes were, they were good.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

It should be.

@Meta

We might work on that. That would be significantly more useful than the PR system. *we swoop into a larger street lined with large, fancy restaurants* We have some of the finest cooks in Existence here in Cepis, capable of producing perfect blends of food. Some of the very best cooks are teamed up with Gold Scribes in order to produce tastes that literally don't exist otherwise! Restaurant roads such as these can be found all over the city.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

Yeah?

@Meta

Well, I suppose such a thing is doable.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

I'm talking tech. What about portable teleportation machines?

@Meta

To anywhere you liked?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

Why not something like teleportation.

@Meta

That's a Red Magic thing, and Tri-Rune teleportation requires considerable power. There is technology for it, but we only use it to teleport between cities. Installing teleportation units everywhere would be unfeasible.
