I am curious, how many people were sacrificed to do how much damage and whether it would increase with more magic in the world?

[Crimsondude]

Hundreds died. That's about all we know.

Indeed, not much is known about the Ghost Dance, other than the fact that performing a massive blood ritual on a power site can do big things. Not the least of the mysteries is where Daniel Howling Coyote got the knowledge for the Dance from. Even the dragons and immortal elves aren't certain (or they aren't even telling EACHOTHER). Though after reading Worlds Without End, I wonder if perhaps Thaiss(sp?), Aina's son, taught him. Apparently, he tried to do something like that before, but it didn't work because the mana levels were too low.

Hmm...

Just think of what Aztechnology could do if they had that many of their blood mages sacrifice themselves in a ritual like that on such a site.

That's basically what Darke was doing, only using hundreds (thousands?) of mundane and magical victims instead of self-sacrifice.

Oh. Why did I even think about that?

[Mirikon]

Darke also used the Blood Mage Gestalt to link all or most of the major teocali in the entire country of Aztlan to the main teocali in Tenochtitlan. Basically converting the entire network into one giant power site.

[Belker]

The last book of the Secrets of Power trilogy, Find Your Own Truth by Robert Charrette, deals quite a bit with the Ghost Dance ritual run by Sam Verner (Twist) after having been taught it by Howling Coyote and Dog (the totem). If memory serves, Verner's Ghost Dance is smaller than the original and it's made pretty clear that even this one sees deaths in the dozens.

The walls will ooze green slime Jam!?

Slurpees, since Aztechnology owns all the Stuffer Shacks.

[Aryeonos]

What is the stuffer shack brand of slurpee? Or, do they actually own that trademark? I'd be interested in an exhaustive list of Aztec products.

Ooh. I just had another EVIL thought. Take HMHVV and use a combination of gene sequencing and blood magic to create a strain that affects the dragons. 

[Aryeonos]

Dragerous, this can only end well.

Make 'em look like the ones in those Old St. George Pictures.



Just don't forget they only LOOK small and pathetic.

Yes, because the dragons aren't on enough of a warpath already.
