Geases are visible celestially like any other similar Discord. Geas-hooks are only visible to Superiors . . . and then only if they are looking. The "hooked" entity cannot feel them, either, though Geases themselves are quite noticeable. This means that a starting Free Lilim will have 27 levels of very visible Discord on her celestial form.

While GMs are free to allow this . . . No, not unless she is going beyond what any other coffee shop clerk would do (such as handing out free coffee to people who don't have enough money to buy it) - the person who is buying the coffee he Needs is, essentially, obtaining coffee for himself and through his own efforts. There is no Symphonic "debt" being invoked, nor will he have any hint of gratitude for a Geas-hook to "catch" on.

Other plurals include geas, geasa, and gesae - just to name a few which might be floating around. Canon In Nomine uses only Geases.

Hooks can be sharpened to a point and forced through the skin, although this is unnecessarily painful and traumatic. The most common and practical means of insertion is to first make the hole with a standard piercing needle and follow that through with the hook. Needle and hook are usually in the same size, but that is entirely optional. If a larger needle is used (for example, a 6ga piercing needle followed by an 8ga hook) there will be additional bleeding.

Usually, no. Lilith, on the other hand, can both give away and accept Geases. A Lilim can geas herself with a Geas/1 to get the same effect as a trade (e.g., "Okay, I'll only use this Geas when and as you tell me to"). What this means is the original Lilim still holds the Geas, but she has promised not to use it except as the person requests. (Note: if you want to allow Geas-trading in your campaign, that's always the GM's perogative.)

The holder of the Geas retains it unless their soul is utterly destroyed. How this interacts with reincarnation and humans is up to the GM - the transition might well eliminate a Geas. Or it might not.

Unfortunately, there is not an exact science to hook placement. It depends a lot on individuals. Generally hooks are placed into regions of the body where the skin is soft and stretches easily. There are some fairly common placement points and normal "sweet" spots on most people. Some of the placements are chest, upper to middle back, hips, calves, knees and forearms. Of these most have sweet spots, although the chest and many points in the legs can still be very uncomfortable.

Many people buy their hooks from Seattle Marine, which can be found online at www.seamar.com. Local fishing supply shops can also order the hooks for you. It is of course possible to have a body jewelry supplier custom make hooks to your liking, but most people agree that the heavy gauge fish hooks work best. They are very strong, re-useable, and typically leave a clean hole after the suspension.

Nope. As long as the soul exists, the Geas exists. How this interacts with reincarnation is up to the GM. Souls believed or known to have ascended to the Higher Heavens may still have Geases on them - or not. No Lilim has ever claimed to have called one in.

A Free Lilim's starting Geases are not worth any points; they're what she has instead of a Prince (and Princes aren't worth points, either). The GM gets to decide if any other starting character type gets points for having a Geas owed somewhere, but don't assume the GM will be kind.

Sure, if the Admin decides you are worthy, you might be accepted as a wizard. But note that you should know the basics of this mud before you request wizard-hood.

Old Geases still have force, and a Remnant could voluntarily agree to a new Geas, but they are otherwise immune to the Perception-based Need-reading that a Lilim must use before setting her Geas-hook.

There are two basic types of hooks, on-locking (standard) and locking. Locking hooks are fairly new and there are several designs out there. The primary purpose for the locking mechanism is to increase the amount of weight a hook can hold (the lock keeps the hook from opening) and to prevent the hooks from coming out (for example, if suspending from great heights). Standard hooks (fishing hooks) are definitely the most commonly used design for suspension.

ga to 14: Used primarily for ball dancing or similar activity. These are too small for suspension unless a very large number of hooks are used. ga to 10ga: Sometimes used for horizontal suspension, but usually too small for vertical suspensions. ga and larger: Normally used for two- or one-point suspensions, or in vertical suspensions for larger individuals.

NO! Skin is very resilient, holds a lot of weight and heals very quickly. Muscle on the other hand is a very fragile tissue that tears easily and does not always heal correctly. In addition, if hooks tear out, damage to skin is easy to heal and not particularly dangerous, whereas healing torn muscle is much more significant.

This would depend first on the material of the hooks. Most stainless fishhooks are certainly not implant grade stainless, and therefore should be removed after suspending. There are some custom made hooks on the market made from implant grade materials and that are specifically designed for suspension. These hooks could, at least from a materials point of view, be left in for very extended times.

The faster hooks come out the less they hurt. Sometimes the dried blood is removed from around the wounds, although most people don't feel the extraction even with crust still attached. The air should be 'burped' out via massage -- though some people actually prefer to leave the air in. Finally, clean the wound and apply a sterile dressing.

Yes and no; it depends on which type of pulling is to be performed and how many hooks are used in the pulling. For example, if someone is pulling with hooks in their back, the placement would resemble that of a suicide suspension. The hooks must be placed in a direction so that the hook will not come out during the pulling. Normally this is done with either a locking hook, or with hook placed horizontally, or with hook pierced in an upward direction (ie.

Most of the time there is no visible scar after the healing is complete. With the laser/cutting technique, the skin is cut with a radio frequency device, to eliminate the chance that the laser could scar the skin. Then only the deeper layers are cut with the laser. The incision is hidden deep inside the crease. If you have a history of abnormal scarring, there are medications that can be used to help prevent excess scarring.

Depending on the hook you are comparing it to, our hooks will last anywhere from three to twelve times longer. For example, our hooks have lasted up to twelve times longer than standard nickel plated iron hooks when placed in water with the same salt content. When compared to uncoated stainless steel hooks placed in water with the same salt content, our hooks have lasted up to four times longer.

A well must always be visible to ensure easy access if remedial work to the pump, or other emergency work, must be done immediately. You should determine the exact location of the well if you do not already know where it is. This will help when you need to replace any pumping or other equipment. It is advisable to have the casing raised to a minimum height of 40 cm above the ground surface.

The eyelets and lacing studs used on the Highliner lineman boots and the Jobmaster logger boots are thick, solid brass which has a gold color. Brass eyelets and studs are used on all leather colors. For custom or made-to-measure orders, we can substitute nickel eyelets and studs which have a polished silver color. This is an extra cost option. Just put a note in the remarks on your order.

Making hooks from scratch is a difficult task that requires many of the same skills and tools required making body jewelry. However, the metals used in body jewelry are quite soft and the hooks you make will take less force to straighten than the tempered steel used in mass manufactured hooks. For most, the easiest route is to purchase stainless steel fishhooks and grind off the barbs.

Vertical suspensions are usually done with four to six hooks (with extra hooks for the arms in the case of a crucifix suspension), and horizontal suspensions are generally done with eight to twelve hooks, but are not uncommonly done with as many as 24 hooks. The amount of hooks used per suspension depends on two factors, the experience level of suspendee experience and weight of the suspendee.

The best way to debug MultiNet is to use a Windows kernel debugger, such as Windbg. The code has DBGPRINT statements, with different verbosity level of debug messages to be printed. To debug the install/uninstall/addnetwork/removenetwork commands, you could use "multinet.exe -v" instead of multinet, for more debug output.

Slate hooks are used for repairs. if you're uncertain about proper repair procedures. Another repair method, still favored by many craftsmen, is to fashion a "bib" from copper.

Gives you 100% + line strength, ultra-sharp conical point and small barb provide superior penetrating power with minimal pressure, simple to use.
