there is a version of masters of the air that traces the tuskegee airmen and the 100th bomber through the war in parallel stories that merge in the prison camp that actually seriously analyzes racism at the time and as it exists today in our historicization and mythmaking around wwii. perhaps even a version that does justice to civilian resistance movements. and instead we have.

Sudden thought.
Galdorstones give whatever spell you cast while holding one “a big power boost”. Graye’s earring is “a handy little magic amplifier.”
The galdorstones are traditionally watched over by illusionists, who supposedly gain no powers from them and so are the least likely to use them for evil... but there’s mentions of them supposedly making possible “high-def party tricks” so it seems less like they don’t amplify illusions and more like people don’t think amplified illusions are dangerous.
Graye doesn’t know where the galdorstones are kept-- seems like even other illusionists aren’t exactly fond of him-- but he does know they exist and what they do.
Is the lens in his earring a galdorstone chip? They’re even pretty much the same colour, if you allow for lighting differences. I don’t know how he got his hands on it, but I love the idea of this guy using his tiny hoarded treasure to terrorize others, while Gus, who rescued the rest of the galdorstones from those who would exploit them, eventually takes the artifact and uses it in the fight against Belos.
Or, as Banshee put it when I brought this up on discord: local dillweed uses carefully managed chip of legendary material to harass children

Out of context this looks like a panel from a gay college webcomic of some description
also, I find it hilarious how the sad/minor key version of the Ace Attorney song has become Adrian's theme rather than being the theme of the Celeste/Juan/Matt/Adrian love-death-revenge web.

*On the credit-funneling AI side quest*
Me: Yeah leaning into a techie Shepard is great, like yeah she's sympathetic to synthetic life from the get-go. She's standing here trying to talk down this random-ass AI!
Brother: Ah, the kind of tech who doesn't use machines as tools to the furthest extent.
Me: Nah, like only if it can show some sense of awareness.
Me: ... nah no who am I kidding, she bumps her arm into the wall too hard and apologizes profusely to the omni-tool.
