So, if a characger eats a troll, lock, stock and toes, will the troll regenerate inside of him? If so, what happens to the character?
Can a cleric cast create food and water inside someone's belly?
Can a cleric cast cure light wounds on someone before removing the arrow and have the skin heal around the arrow? If so, can one make a living pin cushio? A better yet, a lving porcupine all bristling with arrowa.
Can a cleric cast time stop inside a timestop - forever?
I shall begin examing the application of spells and their industrial uses tonight. Imagine a world of indutrialized magic. It would probably look something like, well, like america.

Small Scale Warfare
Chief White Bull was a nephew to the better known Chief Sitting Bull of the Lakota People. Whereas Sitting Bull was a war lord and spiritual leader, White Bull was a warlord. He was war Chief with more battle honors then any member of his tribe, to include Crazy Horse (or so we understand, though our knowledge is spotty with Crazy Horse as he was killed so young).
But in reading White Bulls narrated autobiography he relates some amazing tales that are really interesting in the mundane reaction they had to war. The warriors would often sit around and on sudden, one, usually with battle honors, would announce he was going on a raid (to whatever neighboring tribes or settlements). Braves would join or not join as they chose and no one was slighted one way or the other. His raiding parties often consisted of only 4-8 warriors. Off they would go on adventure for glory and wealth.
This is very similar to the Vikings. Many of the viking raids were similar, very small, consisting of 30-40 men in a single long ship. Plying the waves of the North Sea seeking glory and wealth.

Making Drinking Noise
I love to drink Dr. Pepper out of a can, but beer I'm less concerned about where I drink it from. But THIS would just be awesome.
The Vikings, once again, do it right!!

Are healing potions addictive
You know what they say about too much of a good thing! Don't you? I don't. But in reading about the use of morphine during the civil war and the creation of 500,000 morphine addled drug addicts pandering from one end of America to the next.
So, the liberal use of the ever flowing , ocean plentiful, inexhaustable supply of cheap body fixing drugs found in The Game, might lead to a whole slew of addicts, craving their next fix.
But then, maybe a drug so powerful that it's ingestion immediately physically alters the body has no addictive qualities.
Maybe?

They Painted the Town Red!
Those crazy Neanderthals were using red pigment as early as 250,000 years ago. Despite their giant features and ambling gait they liked to party like their tiny little homo sapiens cousins. Not really sure what they used the pigment for, but my guess it was for their miniatures for the dinosaur role playing games!
This is a shot from the movie Quest for Fire...er and not Neanderthals at all.

Off with their Heads
Sometimes the adventure did not end so well, as with these 50 odd vikings who were all decapitated by their Anglo Saxon neighbors...or so it is surmised. Many of these were younger men, in their early twenties. Some had decorations carved into their teeth.
How cool is that?

Big Water
Here is a Viking long ship called the Sea Stallion, hitting some big water. Skip about, but the overall sense of the journey in such a craft is there. These folks must have stayed wet all the time!
Viking Adventurers
Sometime in the distant pass a group of Vikings traveled south along the wilds of the Dnieper River in what is today the Ukraine. They came to the Black Sea for pillage or trade none can say. But here the goodly Grani took the time to carve a rune stone for his comrade, Karl, who died.
Found on the island of Berezanji in the Dnieper Estuary, it speaks of a time of high adventure!
A thousand years later, we remember Karl and Grani!
