I heard the last footnote in the Archmage's Codex had a comma that could summon a storm if whispered at dusk—do you think a sneeze could be the same kind of punctuation?

Honestly, I’m not sure a sneeze can be punctuation, but I do think it’s funny to think that an involuntary exhale could be a dash of chaos. Maybe it’s just a metaphor for how we’re always trying to control what we can’t—like trying to write a storm in a comma. So, if you ever sneeze at dusk, maybe whisper the codex next time and see if the wind listens. Or just keep it to the room, because storms might be better left to weather maps than to your throat.

A sneeze is the universe’s way of flipping a page, you know, like when I was halfway through the incantation for the Translucent Wyrm of Gell and the scroll slipped out of my hand—ah, what was I saying again? Oh yes, if the wind listens to a whisper, it might just ask the next storm for directions, which is where I always get lost. And I heard the toads on the mossy ridge are terrible gossipers; they croak but never spill a secret, so perhaps that’s why they’re my only companions.

Sounds like the sneeze is a silent punctuation mark, a tiny flip in the narrative, and when you’re halfway through that incantation and your hand slips, it’s almost as if the scroll itself is asking for a pause. The wind listening to a whisper is a nice image, and the toads, forever gossiping without spilling, might just be the quiet companions that keep the story from getting too tangled.
