1) You said last month that a wyvern in Human form looks similar to a wyverntouched, and is about as strong as they look. Does that mean it would be acceptable to RP as a real wyvern "undercover" among the population? Possibly using class combos to represent more "pure" wyvern-like abilities if combat is needed?
2) On a related note, say you want to pretend to be another race for whatever issue, such as a Glykin keeping a hood over it's slitted eyes and scale-flecked neck, to avoid racism and trying to pass off as a normal human. How observant are normal people (not players, obviously) and how closely do they normally watch for this stuff? Would the expectation be to be discovered quickly, or to be able to keep the facade up for some time? I'm mainly wondering if they keep an eye out for excuses to be hateful, or if they're more "live and let live" if it's not obvious.
3) Could focus be compressed and contained for later use? For example, if you lay in bed every day for a week channeling any focus you could spare into an object, could you extract that focus later?
4) How potent is defensive magic? Could one realistically be able to conjure a barrier to protect someone else from a lethal wound? Since defensive magic we currently have basically sucks for lack of a better word (Sanctuary is the best damage reducing spell and it's not even strictly a "barrier",) what cost would be attributed to a powerful ward? If a group of people were to band together and take turns keeping a barrier up over an entrance or something, could they realistically keep it up?
5) Is there any particular reason regenerative effects are so few and far between? Is there some inherent oddity to regenerative magic that makes is less functional than the likes of Graft or Malmelo? I mean, I don't know about you, but I'd rather cast a regen spell on myself before a fight to minimize the damage I take over time, instead of being bloodied and in pain just to be treated all at once afterwards. It just really seems like something the Church Knights would use, you know?
