Wicca can alter rainfall with their control weather ritual, not sure about
Air
mages but I assume their Control Weather can too.
And yes it is scary. A few years ago I had a Wicca cover a mountain with a
couple of yards of snow in spring/summer for their convenience, when it
melted
it caused flooding in the local area destroying crops, livestock, some
immediate
loss of life, then there were the longer term effects.
Fortuantely for the locals it was accidental, a malicious Wicca would summon
the heaviest rainfall they could to accompany the snow melt and cause even
more
devastation.
The best part of this is that with a bit of advance planning you can cause
damage
100 miles away a day after you were there, like spring floods in Australia -
they can have flooding when they never even saw the rain that caused it.
This is all just taking the weather gauge at it's descriptive levels.
As far as fixing the numbers... halve them and change the scale to inches
per
day?
Warning of the day - don't mess with Wicca if you own any land. Curse
Crops/Livestock,
Control Weather for alternating weeks of baking hot arid weather and
flooding.
And if you're marching an Army anywhere take your own Wicca to ensure the
weather
stays on your side.

Surely not. What does a "mm" mean, perhaps miles -- by analogy to pp and SS
(pages & Saints)? I
think that the measures are *approximately* inches per day or, because of a
systematic error,
precisely inches per 1 day & 84 minutes.
However your point still stands; the figures are horrifying if interpreted
that way.

The table should be mm/hour, and even then, "degree" 8+ is iffy. My advice
is to note that the weather control ritual never does worse weather than
could occur naturally, and then go with the descriptions & ignore the actual
numbers in the table. Or we could change the units.
10 inches/hour is a fire hose. Even 10mm/hour is not average rain. Would the
numbers be useful if they were accurate? Not for me.

hi there,
Can anyone alter amount of rain falling on the Degree Table in the Air
college ? I would scared of anyone who can cause or increase rainfall using
that chart...read on to find out why...
I was looking through these tables (18.9, Page 67), for reference purposes,
and I noticed that either Alusia is wetter than I thought, or there has been
a reporting error in the Degree table (copied below, comma delineated for
those with spreadsheet access):
Degree, Cloud, Precipitation
, ,(Inches / Hour)
0, Clear, Dry; high fire danger, 0
1, Clear, Dry; fires easy to start, 0
2, Clear, Comfortable, 0
3, Sparse, Humid; uncomfortable in high temperature, 1
4, Light, Damp, 2
5, Cloudy, Drizzle; fog in cold conditions, 3
6, Overcast, Showers, 4
7, Heavy Cloud, Light rain; leaves move; fires difficult to start, 5
8, Dark Cloud, Average rain, 10
9, Low black cloud, Heavy rain; small branches move; small fires doused, 20
10 *, Oppressive, Torrential rain; river rise; large fires doused, 40
11 **, Oppressive, Flood warning; rivers burst their banks, 80
12+***, Oppressive, Flash floods, 160
Were these meant to be in mm/hour?
***Reasons for my astonishment***
The NZ Met Service issues a heavy rain warning if there is likely to be more
than 50 mm in 24 hours.
Fiordland is one of the wettest places on earth, receiving 21 feet, or 252
inches of rain in a year. That is about 90 minutes of rain at Degree 12, 3
hours at Degee 11, 13 hours at Degree 10 etc.
By this logic, Fiordland must never experience Opressive rain, so as long as
your campfires are large, it will not be rained out. And even low black
clouds would be rare.
I tell you, I am going to pay more attention to the predict weather talent
in future...

hi there,
Can anyone alter amount of rain falling on the Degree Table in the Air
college ? I would scared of anyone who can cause or increase rainfall using
that chart...read on to find out why...
I was looking through these tables (18.9, Page 67), for reference purposes,
and I noticed that either Alusia is wetter than I thought, or there has been
a reporting error in the Degree table (copied below, comma delineated for
those with spreadsheet access):
Degree, Cloud, Precipitation
, ,(Inches / Hour)
0, Clear, Dry; high fire danger, 0
1, Clear, Dry; fires easy to start, 0
2, Clear, Comfortable, 0
3, Sparse, Humid; uncomfortable in high temperature, 1
4, Light, Damp, 2
5, Cloudy, Drizzle; fog in cold conditions, 3
6, Overcast, Showers, 4
7, Heavy Cloud, Light rain; leaves move; fires difficult to start, 5
8, Dark Cloud, Average rain, 10
9, Low black cloud, Heavy rain; small branches move; small fires doused, 20
10 *, Oppressive, Torrential rain; river rise; large fires doused, 40
11 **, Oppressive, Flood warning; rivers burst their banks, 80
12+***, Oppressive, Flash floods, 160
Were these meant to be in mm/hour?
***Reasons for my astonishment***
The NZ Met Service issues a heavy rain warning if there is likely to be more
than 50 mm in 24 hours.
Fiordland is one of the wettest places on earth, receiving 21 feet, or 252
inches of rain in a year. That is about 90 minutes of rain at Degree 12, 3
hours at Degee 11, 13 hours at Degree 10 etc.
By this logic, Fiordland must never experience Opressive rain, so as long as
your campfires are large, it will not be rained out. And even low black
clouds would be rare.
I tell you, I am going to pay more attention to the predict weather talent
in future...
Ian
