excitedI will make ten blog posts detailing aspects of Toby's universe. Ask me anything! I will not answer every question, but will select the questions that I think are the most interesting/fun/relevant, and will detail them to my heart's content. There's a lot to learn and know, and asking loses you nothing. Remember that nothing I answer here is full canon until it appears in a book: I will always reserve the right to change things if the series shifts between now and then.
Leave your questions on this post. I'm declaring comment-reply amnesty for any that I choose not to answer this time, since otherwise, my wee head may explode.
Game on!

Is there a Unified Theory of Magic Item Creation?
Do magic items mostly require purposeful ritual during various steps of their creation? Or does someone take an appropriately-crafted finished item and then imbue power into them? (I figure if the latter, some magic items should be fine quality craftsmanship and of certain dimensions, while other magic items require any thing you can grab that happens to have one particular trait.)
Looking at all the times the Luidaeg has crafted an item, it looks to me as though she just grabs ingredients that suit - but they all happen to be things around her, or from people's bodies, and so maybe she happens to only permit into her home objects that are ready to be part of a ritualized creation?
Or, you know, maybe the Luidaeg is the Reigning Princess of "I Hate Your Stupid Rules" therefore can do things that a non-Firstborn cannot.
