On my original point, I suspect that there will be *some* differences in the
OU of different countries; Pornomancy would find it difficult to spread in
Australia, due to their illegal distribution of pornographic videos, for
instance.

--
Actually, James, it's not illegal to distribute porn in Australia, as far as
I'm aware. It _is_ illegal to sell or hire x-rated material in some states
(Queensland and, I think, South Australia) - but even in those states, you
can still order stuff from interstate, make x-rated material (lot of that
going on in QLD), import material and so on.

If anything, it's probably _easier_ here than in the US, where you have some
states with very strict anti-porn statutes (Utah) and laws prohibiting
interstate sales and distribution.

--
Do plutomancer spells work on non-US currencies? Or do Brit
plutomancers have different spells for the sterling?

--
I've wondered about that myself, I must admit. I figure that the keynote is
resonance, not value; you're focusing on one hundred monetary units, not a
value equal to $100 US. Mind you, that makes it really cheap to be a
plutomancer in Australia, and bloody expensive to be one in Britain.

That's just my take; an amount that sounds impressive, rather than a set
value.

Brothers and sisters, I have a dream. Journalism is a ticket to ride, to
travel deep into the dark heart of the pictures you see on your TV and
feeds. And I'm going to take you on a ride with me. A short weird ride into
the heart of darkness.
