Since Magnus has that... "thing" that's implied between him and Olivia in SVE, which continues even when the farmer's dating him, how would Magnus react if the farmer caught them after they've been dating Magnus for a while? I'm sensing some fierce angst with this thought

Interesting that Olivia's nightly walks to Magnus' tower even when Magnus dating with Farmer is a bug that FlashShifter seems to have fixed (I'm seducing Lance, Elliott, and Shane right now, so I haven't checked this). But the idea that Magnus would have continued to date both Olivia and Farmer at the same time until Farmer revealed him is great fuel for angst!

🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀

And he thought he was supposed to learn from his past mistakes. To learn from the bitter experience, to become a better man, to find his own happiness. Magnus thought that this time it would be different, that he would not act selfishly and cowardly, that he would not make the fatal mistake of his youth, which had cost him his wife, which had broken his heart twice.

Has he learnt his lesson? What does the great wizard have now?

A well-deserved slap that quickly forced him back into a harsh reality full of his bad choices. Droplets like morning dew that ran down the face of his young farmer lover, a look of disbelief, full of pain and anger. A well deserved reaction - how would you react to a loved one spinning another affair in secret?

Yoba, how pathetic is he? Chasing two birds at once, having an affair with two people at once for fear of being alone - if one wasn't sincere in their feelings, he could try with other.... Magnus has to throw away all his awards from the Ministry of Magic to put the most important one he really deserves - "Idiot of the Century", engraved in big gold letters! Desperate idiot, donkey, what was he thinking!

Olivia doesn't want all this scandal, which is understandable, because at least someone in this tower is mature. Her nocturnal visits had stopped. Magnus didn't care anymore, he hadn't slept well for two days.

He couldn't forget their face, their crying face....

So much time had passed when the old wizard caught himself wondering why he was so unlucky with love, what was the reason for all these failures. And the reason was himself - just one look in the mirror, and there he was, the culprit of all misfortunes.

What Magnus can do now is apologise to the Farmer, really apologise. He doesn't expect forgiveness - he knows he doesn't deserve it. But he has to do it.

And whether the Farmer will forgive him or not, even Welwick's crystal ball won't tell. But maybe fate will be merciful to the idiot....

Welwick is really suspicious...

Especially in SVE. Magnus calls her a good friend and visits her tent during the fair but she never visits him or talks about him. On the other hand she's constantly in Qi's casino, she basically lives there. (In fact she could broadcast her tv show from there, since both places have that space/starry sky theme. Who knows, maybe Qi gifted her a room.)

So what's going on with her? Is she helping Qi in whatever he's doing? Qi mentions that the casino is a place where he gathers people with unusual abilities and having a gifted diviner on his team would be really useful. He even lets her vomit in his vases!

I wonder if FlashShifter will develop her character more in some future update...

You might be interested in the Rodney NPC mod, a sarcastic writer and tarot reader who moves in the valley. He analyses other characters using tarot cards too.

I think the reactions will depend on how serious tarot reading is treated in SVE. Magnus would definitely be interested in testing the farmer's abilities somehow though. And since divination in general is seems well respected I think he'll want to introduce the farmer to Welwick and see what she thinks about it, after all she has more experience in this domain than him. The rest might be interested only if they find the talent useful in some way.

Well, I realized that I can only throw ideas and I'm very lazy to write anything worthwhile, so here some idea

In short, I'm thinking about how some wizards and witchs would react to the fact that a farmer understands the tarot and the Major Arcana? because personally, I'm also interested in this now, and it's damn interesting. So far now, a farmer can ask for a birthday only to have something like "hmm... That's mean his arcana the emperor, hmm.. how interesting" and so it is with everyone! and they also look at the relationship, the future and what energies will be on the tarot, and the level of awareness of the farmer is much higher than that of others!

it's just that sometimes there are funny moments when maybe they're reading tarot and just "what the fuck is this?" And it's funny because they're trying to find a connection with tarot and thoughts..

Some random SVE headcanon:

Camilla is one of the few witches in the whole world who has mastered the knowledge of making and using the voodoo doll with great skill. In addition to the fact that this is a very meticulous work, voodoo dolls are also prohibited, because most often people use them for evil, and not for good. But when did some old fart bans in the Ministry of Magic stop Camilla? Only Yoba themselves can stop her (and it doesn't even guarantee that it will work).

Magnus scolds his colleague more than once for the fact that some magicians (even if they deserve such a punishment) complain of a sharp pain in the body, because a young witch pierces a doll with a needle without remorse. Of course she won't go too far, but nevertheless.

The young Farmer also fell prey to Camilla when they suddenly experienced a non-painful but palpable tingling in their hands, or an unbearable tickling all over the body, because Camilla was sitting not far away and messing with a voodoo doll. However, the young witch of Castle Village is not so heartless and uses the doll to help the Farmer. Let's say get rid of aching muscles pain from hard work on the farm, or even bring them good luck for the day. Have the Farmer ever thought about why even on the most unfortunate (according to Welwick's transmission) days they still manage to collect more iridium ore and gemstones than even on the luckiest days? All thanks to Camilla, her love of prying into other people's business and the voodoo doll.

I think your theory is correct for vanilla Welwick, since Qi is just weird there rather than a potential villain, so it's nothing suspicious about their friendship. And I agree that her magical talents are the reason she was granted access in the casino since even Magnus praises her powers.

About her money problem, I have a theory that Welwick can't use her talents for her own benefits. She can predict lots of stuff and can even help other people with how to cheat fate, but when it comes to making money for herself with her predictions she fails. That's why she couldn't predict that her movie wouldn't be successful.

But with Qi working against the Ministry in SVE and openly disliking Magnus their friendship ends up looking suspicious. She must know about his plans even if he never told her directly. If Magnus mentions one of their friend getting killed in the Badlands by some mysterious magic she would probably try to 'see' what happened and would realize that Qi is responsible. Unless Qi has some way to shield his plans from clairvoyance, which would not be surprising I guess. And I really don't think Magnus (or anyone else really) knows where she spends her free time either.
