And yes, you use Mammoth Ivory to make Jon's bones stronger to give him stability. For example, if you do a ritual to improve your muscles, there is a problem, which is that your bones are human, that is, they are not hard enough to support or keep up with your muscles, but if you replace them with elephant or mammoth bones in this In case he has to support his enormous weight, he would be a monster in battle and even if his muscles did not improve, his stability or rather some movements of his muscles would be easier, that is, his strength would not multiply but he could make movements that would be the envy of Barristan, Jeime and the Mountain. Another is to get the "lineage" of the Umber, that is, Giant meat, which would make his body reach 2.3 meters in height as much as the Mountain, but on the contrary, he is a better swordsman and would not have the problems that Gregor would have since I think he suffers from Gigantism, that is, better genetics without anger problems. As a partner you could get now that it is in the Shadow Tower a Nagga descendant the Sea Dragon could Secretly support the War against the Grejoy but at the same time destroy the Stannis fleet (at least the Pro-Baratheons and Lannisters, not the Velaryons for example ) no one would know except Ned who would have his suspicions. You eliminate Euron and Victorion would be a victory and if Theon's ship had an accident XD.
Thanks for the chapter. The story is shaping up to be a great one, let's hope you can keep it up. I sincerely wish that you don't sabotage your own story with the usual lethal flaws for a SI story, like collecting waifus like they are Pokémon, creating weird and non-canon diabolus et Machina just to stave off the power creep. The thing that made ASOIAF this popular was, the characterisation was so realistic and gritty. I hope you could stay loyal to some of the main strengths of the setting.
I can see him using the runes as a kind of witcher. Using in equipment and accessories. I think it's more plausible, he increases "attributes" and leaves kind of passive, in my imagination the active Magic is a little lacking, in this universe, but the rituals are very powerful, the children of the forests divided a continent. I'm probably being annoying, but because I really like this ff.[img=recommend]
