>>39255732WMD level chuubanite applications would be taxing on communications and logistics given the time period. /hag/'s method of making a nation sized glyph may not be optimised.
Chuubanite magic is like sending instructions to a server. So a ritual have to be objective in its message. Trying to relay with subjective actions like a culture specific taboo would give a different intended message.
Example, If culture A sees bats as a taboo but culture B revered bats, culture A's ritual involving bats to harm a culture that loves them will confuse the server.
In this case, /hag/'s ritual involving dead babies, towards a culture that enjoys killing babies, could be misinterpreted by the server heaven as 'do more infanticide' instead of 'sterility'.
To make a glyph that represents a very specific subject, you need to provide the server with tons of details. As there are millions of people, one missing data will throw it off. So a glyph that represents a whole person 1:1, it needs to be like their own personal Akashic Record. Documenting everything from birth until death.
The alternative is for the glyph to be fitted with placeholders for contexts that switch each use/condition.
A spell whose power is to detect a person can be constructed like an algebraic equation. With the value you are trying to find left open for the server heaven to calculate.
In this way, /hag/'s method to create a super spell that can be used to target nations or their peoples needs to be extremely intricate/detailed to target everyone. Especially when a nation as a subject is much more complicated.
Was that good enough, PG?
