Well its a start,  pretty good characters, character interactions, and plot so far. 

Oh yeah time ill tell if it was worth it. Hopefully magic grows with usage and time. (and sorry everyone for the long review)

With what kinds of people Zenovia’s followers were, some obviously there the Big Band Evil Guy/Gal(BBEG) of some people's adventures, and all the way down to the cult that runs a brothel or something. What interesting conflicts or interactions between them and the other deity(ies) of love or similar, back when they were more common. 

There's gadda be some full sapient(more inclusive and expansive than human) sacrifice rituals in there that he and others obviously couldn’t do, legally at least, and cause Vann would die. But two could be comoed, in a ritual circle crushing a shrunken men with high heeled shoes makes the high heels no longer cause any balance concerns, running in a stiletto on a muddy battlefield would then the possible and only left to the person's own skill or balance. Crushing them inside the shoes makes the shoes perfectly fit and perfectly comfortable, and probably make it so the wearer and Zenovia has controls of the inside so tinies can be held inside, like what Eletha is doing but better in every way, more convenient, or give more options. Subject as well to the quality if the footwear and now of Zenovia’s iconography is on it, and what she thinks of it. Also another one of crushing under barefoot to give some super agility, dexterity, divine sure-footedness, or never-ending perfect food health. And probably some other version that uses women, cause some be traitors and heretics or such (better to have a way of dealing with such, maybe something only Vann can see, cause he’s choose), or just women were used, Female Domination can be a female dominating another female too. So the sacrificing of both a man and a woman in those rituals, 6 men and 6 women, was ultra overpowered to whoever managed it. (and IF that's the case, the enchantments Zenovia’s book has for these (when the sacrifice rituals aren’t used, or instead use a tiny as a constant source of power) might be interesting to compare with normal balancing, sure-footed etc. footwear enchantments that are used, or that nobles use because they can) 

Or some rituals might get some maxing out or bonus from being done to a death. Probably highly variable, only some, and it is probably Zenovia’s call at that point. 

And there could also be similar rituals for boobplate, bikini plate, and others. Maybe some done in a ritual circle (or shape), or a piece with a different effect applied, prevents true death within that aria, so some of the rituals could get real nary without real death, but cannot do the sacrifice rituals (cause no death). Or a building enchantment that shrinks men on some premises or aria or building. Or allows for the shrinking and growing of space, a more conceptual way of making bags of holding or TARDIS spaces. Far from real spacial magic and what it can do, but just good enough. 

More back to what some her followers did, some noble lady and her the female members if her clan, did the high heels and various clothing ritual on their entire shoe collection and wardrobes, and with their maids and servants too, got taken down by someone, or maybe the place got cursed, so there useful materials from that mansion or castle, and some of their shoes and such are artifacts laying around. Or a female knight made an order and they used her enchantments for their armour. Or an all female merc/bandit band, ambushing caravans and even having princesses or queens for ransom, besides the men. And with all the other leftovers of Zenovia’s followers from back when. Probably even some hidden valley or place that a follower teleport shrunken villages and a city or two to play goddess with, heresy probably but Zenovia was asleep, and maybe that follower died, and now its a tiny land with several tiny kingdoms. 

With being 500 feet (152 meters. 300 ft is as tall as the statue of liberty, so 500 is tall) of Embiggen (besides what stories or records say back they’ve happened), and depending on how big dragons are(if they exist, from just DND kins, or bigger (thought hopefully not as big as Ancalagon the Black), you know some of her followers use her rituals and spells on dragons (or tried). Cause they could use Embiggen to maybe stuff a dragon down their underwear, or shrink them for the same and use them for even more power. Or a female dragon decided to try Zenovia out, the whole politicking/drama between the dragon god(ess) and her when their domains or followers overlap/interacted would be an interesting story, if it ever gets motioned or involved (besides the dragon one, deities or smithing or craft, and the one of love/sex for the brothel thing. so many) . If Embiggen increases size by scale and not to a size, a dragon or existing giantess might try these. Whatever happened to the ones that did. 

Two, more practical things: first, with dragons as an example, and other races might not be mammals, for females don't have boobs, and I can guess Zenovia likes those. So some "womanizing" (by humanoid standards) ritual might be a thing if she deems it needed for that follower. For lizards, insectoids, fish/aquatic that aren't' mermaids, maybe dryads/trees (depending), or even non-humanoid sapients. Goda think of theses things as a diety, can't be too exclusive. 

The second one is that since its female domination, then Zenovia had to have rituals, or a few, for shen women wanted to have children but not have men involved. Either between two, bick one or the other both to have kids. Or be a "virgin" birth (of course it won't be, this godess loves sex), or some bigger one what brings Zenovia directly to help, makes some charecter creator like dream for the daughters(s). Or and orgy ritual needing at a bare minimum 10 women, whatever it does, And maybe some particular for sons and such, have to keep up the populations of both. Perhaps the two-women-mating ritual or spell was taken after an all female noble family or two had it for a while, Zenovia's influence was removed, and now is something for the court physician and mages of royals and nobles houses have just in case, cause it's not a bad precousing is two houses are need to marry and only daughter are available, or two women fell in love but an heir is still needed. Noble dynastic arranged marriage management, probably pretty boring in the end.

Well this was another long one, hope it gives food for thought. (Again, sorry to anyone reading the reviews and seeing this thing)

Well that answers what kind of ‘beast kin’ (if the is the term) people are around, unless there are also Catgirls/fox girls of the Khajiit/Tabaxi variety. 

Either and both could work. 

But Vann really does need to read more into the books. 

Fair of why the elves take these new ideas and changes so slowly, probably also why it will be a while till they get why it might be questionable to be ‘guiding’ a family line. Even if not malicious  a majority of the time. And I know that the world was found be round so long and ago and know, hence the mention of figuring it out by now 

Wonder it would be considered insanity by normal elves for an elf to actually adapt as fast as humans or dwarfs. And orphan or kidnaped elf baby raised by humans and so has the mindset and timeframe. 

Or some humans found out or got told (this couldn’t have been the first time), and took it far worse then Chadwick, and did something. Killing or ensuring some long term hatred of elves is the least that could happen. I could see someone erasing the elf’s memory, taking some illusion flesh crafting for the ears, and passing them off as a humans and made to life as sone for a whole, not even noticing the lifespan themselves. And thats if the person has the magical skills for it, things could be so much cruder, and some use for a magical and immortal creature could be found. Or other curses. 

And then there wether any gods care about this, or even what the ones who do do. Or some culture or secret society of human is around to deal with this somewhere because they didn’t approve. 

So interesting stuff. 

And not really a spoiler to me, of course some of Zenovia’s followers are up to no good still. It would be interesting in itself of the history of the followers of other gods and how they do thing the diety doesn’t wish, what they were, how they were dealt with, and what/if divine law/protocol is about this. When it becomes relevant of course, doesn’t even need detail just casual comments. 

Huh, yeah there would be some elven ruler from the very beginning, must have been an interesting time when they were cave people, or living in thatch or mud huts. And just how good he is at king stuff, had to have gotten economic and diplomacy mathematics down to instinct by now at least. 

And Creation being after Time, so some weird things must be from that period, not to walk of before Time. Or Space. 

And two artifacts of Zenovia’s, a whip and heels. How curious you don’t even name a hight or what exact kind of heel, thought that might be variable, wether at the wearers command (a not immediately obviously setting) of Zenovia’s and what she thinks best fits the wearer. Like the speculation a few reviews ago, theres probably some instruction on how to make similar heels in the book. Now just to think what other artifacts do. And All the JEWELLERY.

And while in that section, though, there probably also taboos, and maybe needing shrunken for it to get the detail right. 

Another good chapter!

P.S.  heres "The truth about chainmail bikini" and you can look for inspiration on more of Zenovia’s artifacts, and the other female armour subs. Enjoy!

Another good chapter!

Wth just the efficiency, Vann could make some money writing some papers on how to improve the other shrinking or growing disciplines, add to general scholarly knowledge. If combined with whoever regularly uses bags of holding, or the wagon/cart/crate version, shrink the cargo first, put them in, then shrink the containers too(if there is not incompatibility between the spacial and shrinking magic). 

And yeah, Eletha having it a bit rough dealing with Chadwick now, and probably on such and incredibly short timeframe of days compared to her previous years. 

And now thinking about it, would a shrunken person yield the same amount of blood as their full size, maybe once it leave them it rapidly unshrinks, or with some modification to the spell. Obviously that could work on Embiggen so far. Reason for this thought is a vampier could use this to drain full people using this, ore more easily hid them and eat them, and with Embiggen they could get a big source. Or a follower took several vampires and make a deal to let them drink while shrunk to max out blood. That a benefit for the vampires. 

Boss battle time! And Vann seemed to have gone first and rolled a good hit, even it it didn’t do enough damage.  

And understanding asteroid are a thing huh, well I don’t think she can keep good tabs on dwarven astronomy from all the way out there, but her nots should be worth a lot to sell. 

Thought a Lich might get some ideas: https://funnyjunk.com/The+comet+lich/wNYoMjA/

After they git her, and maybe not kill her, Carlotta might get to visit Zenovia with Vann when both are unconscious. And Vann sill also get to look at what Zenovia punishments for heresy are. 

And to add to the last reviews thing on vampires, a vampier over the millennia had to have decided to combine known size changing magic with Zenovia’s Embiggen for efficiency to make some ideal candidate bigger while under trance (whatever if the best blood for vampires) and the shank themselves snd their coven and harvested the blood from the now far larger ‘blood donor’. Bet that would allow a truly large amount of vampires to enjoy a full meal. Then the prison is shrunk into a tiny and made to recover for latter.

Thought a different interesting leftover of Zenovia, also using elven longevity, a elf learns the basic set of spells and prayers and such, but not much much in her youth (possibly younger then Eletha), and whatever happen, just kept going it. And so shes been at it for several thousand years, perhaps even in a particular city foe a thousand years directly. And over that she accrued the equivalent of divine interest, it just been sticking to her and not going to Zenovia cause he want doing it completely. 

So nothing evil, just an ultra faithful follower, who probably would have been a better choice for chosen after all this time, and once Vann finds her would get scheduled to replace him once he’s dead. 

Oh, and a fun bonus thought, a sheep girl who’s head of an unrelated cult, Cult of the Lamb and such, if Enid’s cuteness is anything to go by. 

Noice. 

Yeah, Enid giving some plant growth acelerant and fertilizer magic, Rumana make some golem planters and plows and harvesters, maybe even at tiny size, and a whole shrunken farm second could had. Unshink the food and thats a town’s worth of food saved for the temple at least. And make forest or made up farmland around the city models regrow for even more realism. 

And originally had to think of pure hard-light illusion, but that might not give squishing or real food as easily, or maybe polymorph insects into looking and acting like people, but that is also sorta cruel (and some people might have issue) so just animating berries was the final thought. 

Thought there prob will have to be given options of eating tinies as a part of the room service, and for new priestesses, might not make as much faith for Zenovia as real people or be usable in the rituals needing sacrifice, but maybe its the act and intent/thought that counts. 

And hopefully some cobblers, seamstresses and armorers become followers so their would be clothing and armour directly approved of by Zenovia. Several crafters shrink down and enchant some heels so much the shoes or boots technically count as a temple, then applied that to an entire set of armour. Thats gada be some powerful paladin gear.

Oh, and how Faries/Faeries/Fae or pixies will come in will be interesting. 

Eletha might take to Chadwick’s dad about what she did, thats kinda what I was talking about for seeing how that goes, was hard and kinda messy already with just him, and not the rest of his family. 

More to help Vann’s temple, Eletha might know some elf who’s been doing combat for several thousand years, and ask her to come over and help train up the  temple guard and paladin order. Could even have figured out non-magicaly-asidted/enhanced high heeled combat out of sheer boredom, just for the heeled bonus on too of magical assistance. Or just brainstorm more combat uses of Zenovia’s magic in combat with Vann. Probably not as good or powerful as the war/battle/violence god ones, but still solid. 

And I almost forgot this, cam up with it 3 chapters ago but forgot to say, how would succubi work? Their sexy and dom men as women whits is Zenvia’s thing, but their unholy so they might get hurt, or would they counter her power? Would it work on female devils, or other unholy female things? The real questions.

Good start. 

Also got stories I had ideas for 10 years ago still around that I wanted to write up and put on this site. So congrats on achieving it!
