Currency Talk

[Magus]

However the info you cited is what should have been referenced at the start of this whole conversation; the fact that secondaries can harvest Omnilium makes the ability to have a currency more realistic. I'd imagine if you're capable of harvesting Omnilium, you must therefore also be able to measure it - this implies that Magus churning out $10,000,000 Omnibucks that only turn out to be worth 1OM is therefore not possible (or at least, you'd have to find a really, really dumb secondary)

Oooohhh... I was just taking "harvest Omnillium" to mean that they gathered wood and stuff; I assumed that because they couldn't summon things, that meant that they also wouldn't be able to extract things like Primes can. :roll:

That said, having the ability to extract something doesn't necessarily give people the ability to sense how much there is of it in an object, without actually having to extract it to check. It'd certainly make sense if it does turn out to work that way, but so far as I know, it's never been mentioned in the rules or anywhere else... hell, I don't even know if Primes can sense the amount of OM in something without actually extracting the OM from it.

You're right. I have no idea if the above is correct. Just my best guess.
