>>34410949>>34411799>But wouldn’t it mean the active effect will be activated the moment chuubanite fuses with the molecules, rather than activating only after the songstress plays her songs?Like anon above me suggests, the activation can require a combination of both activator substance and pattern (where the pattern is enabled by a vibration).
>>34411799>molecular structure can count as glyph and whether soundwave count as activator substanceYes, but you got it the wrong way around; I think molecular structure = activator substance, and soundwave counts as a glyph.
I really love how you can tie this into mythological finnish magic, that's a good idea, spells through song is way way cooler than using monotone incantations! And having it tied to tree secretions works quite well, chuubanite often has a connection to trees. Mythologically and in folklore, trees naturally have a connection to primal magic, so that seems like a good place to source it. Basically, kino.
Oh, a thought I got about Koseum is that the "slaughter the weak member of the herd" definitely seems like it could have some kind of spiritual/philosophical meaning. How do Palkyries regard their elders? Iirc, in Inuit tribes, ritualized suicide of those unable to provide for themselves due to old age was not uncommon. You could also revert it and have elders be extra revered though, that's seen a lot in those societies.
>aurora’s considered (among other things) the shiny armor of valkyriesDamn that's cool. It's kinda crazy to think about those phenomena where we have a decent idea of their underlying mechanism now, but you go more than a few hundred years back and these truly were nothing but obvious evidence of the supernatural. Fucking lightning, auroras, bolides, red sprites (google that if you're not familiar). Crazy shit.
