On the use of Ter'angreals

[Robert Laurel]

On a couple of boards I've been, there was quite a use if ter'angreals and the power to ease the life of the common people and to run mechanical devices. How about devices to provide light, heating for warmth and cooking, fresh, clean water doe running water and sewage kines, etc. Plus devices to run steam engines for locomotives and steamships. Plus they can power elevators in the White Tower. Novices would no longer have to carry buckets of water up flights of stairs for some Sister to have a both. Every suite would have a bath and show and private toilet.

Any comments?

Don't think the drpsw is quite there yet, but in one rev you can create whatever setting you want.

 

So it just depends which RP board you use

Lii is correct. We don't use objects of power that way in the PSW. It was very clearly explained in the Books why the One Power isn't used for menial tasks and we extend that to utilising objects of power for the same purpose. Menial tasks are character building for Novices so we're not looking to make their lives easier. The existence of ter'angreal and their ilk isn't widely known outwith the channeling communities. Saying that, I'm not against the use of certain items for big projects on, for instance, a city wide scale. So if the Black Tower decided to use something found in their cache of objects to better their community overall, that would be cool as long as it's cleared with the Group Leader, Cass.

Why is it bad to create something to make everyone;s life better? Clean water. Clean air. Sanitary facilities.
