In french, we have a phrase for that. It's "ta gueule, c"est magique", that can be traduced "shut up, it's magical" 😉😂

that was a good Vicious Mockery

So you are not selling strange exotic vodoo components on your website, why not? Bet you guys lure these target groups too.

[@PaMuShin]

How about making nixie candles that smell like guano

[@Shauma_llama]

I meme I've seen recently on FB was "I didn't ask how big the room is, I said cast fireball!" You need to do a t-shirt of that with Nixie, I'm ready to buy it RIGHT NOW.

I think Scanlan from Vox Machina would agree totally with Antruis 😂

[@Albert_Wesker_1969]

Surprising that those are the actual ingredients in D&D to create and cast fireball. That pun by Antrius was comedy gold. No wonder Nixie is bat shit crazy.

[@cp1cupcake]

Spell components in D&D were originally an inside joke, but nobody got it. Why do you need guano and sulphur to cast fireball? Because you add charcoal and you have made a fairly common explosive (gunpoweder).

[@Shandrii]

@@cp1cupcake Excactly! I just love reading the components for spells. For detect thought, for example, you need a coper coin. Because a penny for your thoughts...

[@strawman3859]

Whats even stranger is unless specified they are no consumed on cast. And fire ball doesn't say it does......it gets weird

[@DavidCruickshank]

@@cp1cupcake or how about "Flesh to Stone" that uses the components: Lime, water, and earth. You are literally encasing your enemies in concrete.

[@Lance-Urbanian-MNB]

Overall good acting once again but sadly this episode was rather mellow and the "big" end joke was but a candlelight due to getting prepared from the get go.

[@attilabruz7140]

As a fun fact: bat guano was a common source of Nitrates in the late renaissance and early industrial era, which is an essential component for producing saltpeter and thus gunpowder.

[@Puschit1]

My mother still used it for gardening in the 80s

[@bosef1]

That's part of the reason why the US was hanging around Midway Atoll.

[@cheshirecat742]

The real question is who was the first person who tried mixing some of these, let alone survived gathering Bugbear boogars. I can't imagine a Bugbear just let some random person walk up and pick it's nose and not try to murder it.

[@DanielLCarrier]

Someone killed a bugbear and decided they want to get all the money they can from the corpse. Same sort of person who goes to a dungeon and steals the doors.

Ironically, bat guano would make it REAL poo, not sham poo.

[@Diresilence]

And thats why most casters tend to be more into spell focuses... as the component bag effectively means your caster is likely walking around smelling absolutely horrid

[@Yurt_enthusiast7]

Well if you're a boring caster at least😉 explaining how a character uses it's components makes for a fun narrative during casting instead of "my focus glows with a arcane light"

Meanwhile, the all-mighty level 8 spell like Abi Dhalzim's Horrid Wilting only need SPONGE as a component. Yes. Sponge. A cheap, easy, clean, everyday item. For an EIGHTH level spell. #DnDLogic

[@majorfallacy5926]

i mean natural sponges aren't all that easy to get

[@jamesanthony8438]

The hard parts about casting that spell is removing the jellyfish net and crabby patty from it's hands as well as the scream of terror it lets out when the spell is cast and the sponge is consumed by the casting. =(

[@LupineShadowOmega]

@@majorfallacy5926 At that level they are. Cast Alter Self on yourself for gills and dimension door yourself out of there with all the sponges you need.

[@ireallyreallyhategoogle]

You're thinking of modern times when sponge are made of synthetic material and available in any store. In medieval times, a sponge is a sea animal that needs to be harvested. Unless you live by a sea where sponges proliferate, bat guano is much easier to obtain.

"Banishment" needs items the target considers distasteful. Suddenly, Humanoids are easily banished, even if your focus goes missing

[@josstlu307]

In the game idle champions, if you look at Nixie's profile, you can see that she creates fireballs with the help of an amulet in the first place, and the components are there as an addition. And the first two cells are some kind of mushrooms and not shitty bats and sulfur.

[@janog.5170]

Your videos are good quality, you really deserve way more recognition, i advice you to make some collabs with other known youtubers.

[@kenpachi78]

Why no one tells Nixie how much money she can save if only she bought magic wand?

[@DanielCoffey67]

The rate those things go through batteries is crazy. It's like printer ink cartridges. The wand is practically free but they get you on the recharges.

[@sammiller6631]

Maybe Nixie doesn't like wands as much as pouches?

[@LawfulBased]

[@joegraffhobo-elect9128]

Love the content. Its entertaining and gives you a break from reality. Thank you good folk, may many blessings be bestowed apon your lifetimes.

[@AnoAssassin]

No one tell Nixie Fireball, as most spells, doesn't consume the ingredients. You just need to have them, or a class-specific arcane focus

[@doyouwanttogivemelekiss3097]

I guess that depends on the d&d edition and on the DM. Some are anal about components, others forget about it completely... Tbf, the DM probably can't really keep track of all the components in a party with e.g. 4 casters, and even less so, if they are consumable. Except perhaps more expensive stuff like diamond dust.

[@avoidant560]

So fire ball is basically a magically enchanted black powder? Cool

[@jesuschavero1665]

Gary Gygax loved to put references and jokes in material components, and it's a tradition in all Dungeons and Dragons versions, for instance Lightning Bolt components are "some fur and a rod of amber, crystal, or glass" or Sleep components "a pinch of fine sand, rose petals, or a cricket"

Bat guano, as in saltpeter, often used as an oxidizer in gunpowder. Sulfur, also used as a stabilizer in gunpowder! And that's why fireball uses those components.

If i run a game, you can also substitude black powder for your usual fireball components. Ofcourse there are certain risks involved, and it tends to leave traces of soot. But it will kill your enemies and allies alike, just fine.

[@DanielLCarrier]

I assume it's because guano is extremely high in nitrogen and phosphorus. It makes it a great fertilizer, but also both those things are extremely flammable. Bird poop would probably work, but most kinds of poop would not.

[@DH-xw6jp]

No, because it isn't the poop that does it. It is the urine. And before you ask if cat urine would work... Yes, but you need to train your cat to pee on a haystack lol. It would be easier (and more historically accurate) to simple use your own.
