Not actually accused as such. I figured that learning or using
Worship [Diety] probably had some catch which made it harder to use
than normal. Now that you've clarfied that it's actually a Chi'i
no longer makes me stay awake at nights wondering when the Kralori
are going to conquer the world.

Babylonian Party-pooping Grafitti. It means the Persians are coming
according to the book of Daniel. The essense of Sandy's joke was that
the first two letters of the slogan were Menel, Menel and Vorumaini
sounded similarly repetitive.

He was basing this upon the codex #3 rules in which to use Dragon Magic
cost some expenditure of emotional power ('closer to the void' so to
speak). This ties in well with the Kralori magic being based on draconic
principles.
