The pagan holidays, also known as pagan festivals or celebrations, refer to the ancient religious and cultural events that were observed by pagan societies. Paganism, which is characterized by the worship of multiple deities and a deep connection with nature, dates back to pre-Christian times and was prevalent in various parts of the world. One of the most well-known pagan holidays is Samhain, which is believed to be the precursor to Halloween. Celebrated on October 31st, Samhain marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. It was believed that on this night, the boundaries between the living and the dead were thinnest, allowing spirits to freely roam the earth. To ward off these spirits, people lit bonfires and wore costumes to disguise themselves.
1. We make a second 3/3/3 emblem. Why? Because if your main one fails and you end up with nothing you will cry yourself to sleep.
The main benefits is that there is no chance to waste a stat level-up on secondary stats so you will get max dmg lv 5 faster, and there is no need for speculation regarding how the calculation is handled because there is 100 confirmation that adding lines is a separate calculation from stat level-ups or at the very least, adding one line is, unsure on whether adding more than 1 line will give you more separate calcs. Results from this step should be one or several magic attack lv 1 material emblems and several mp lv1, mdef lv 1 material emblems from failed attempts.
To ward off these spirits, people lit bonfires and wore costumes to disguise themselves. Another significant pagan holiday is the Winter Solstice, also known as Yule. Celebrated around December 21st, this festival marked the shortest day and longest night of the year.

Do weapon runes work while doing unites or special runes? i.e. will pahn do fire damage with his weapon while doing a unite with gremio? Will Valeria do fire damage while using the Falcon? Same goes for in Suikoden 2 with runes like down and poison.

i know that the element affects unites, but i didn't test it extensively. i don't know if the bonus dmg from Fire/Lightning add to unites. in Suikoden 2, the element and bonus damage from Fire/Lightning/Rage/Thunder definitely don't apply to unites--only ones that actually increase your attack power, like Exertion and Kindness, help unites.

What about command runes or down, poison, etc? Any clue? I just might have to try it myself. "I'd be happy to demonstrate its sharpness on your neck." KFCrispy Global Admin Posts: 6153 Joined: Wed Jun 30, 2004 3:29 pmRe: Weapon rune damage in unites

are you playing Suikoden I or II or both.
In I, I'm pretty sure command runes are also affected by your weapon's element but again, I'm not sure if Fire/Lightning's extra dmg bonus applies.
In II, the Down and Poison Runes don't affect unites/special attacks. the only ones that work are the ones that directly modify your ATK value, which are Kindness, Friendship, and Exertion (and Solitaire). that's probably it.

2. Merge any leftover material emblems (cdmg lv 1, bal lv1) into your base emblem (max damage lv 1) until you have a single base emblem that is (max damage lv 3). Feel free to make more material emblems if needed.
Pagan communities would gather to light bonfires and exchange gifts, symbolizing the return of the sun and the rebirth of nature. Many of the traditions associated with Yule, such as decorating trees and hanging mistletoe, have been incorporated into modern-day Christmas celebrations. Beltane, observed on May 1st, was a pagan festival that marked the beginning of summer. It was a time of fertility and growth, and people would participate in rituals and dances to ensure abundant harvests. Maypoles, a common symbol of Beltane, were erected and adorned with ribbons as part of the celebrations. Additionally, Imbolc, celebrated on February 1st, marked the halfway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. It honored the Celtic goddess Brigid and was associated with purification and the returning light of spring. People would light candles and fires to welcome the lengthening days and participate in rituals to honor Brigid's healing and creative powers. These pagan holidays were deeply rooted in the beliefs and customs of ancient societies, and they played a significant role in their religious and cultural practices. While many of these traditions have evolved or been superseded by modern holidays, the influence of pagan celebrations can still be seen today..

2. Mark - 1/5 stars - "The Pagan Holidays" was a complete waste of time for me. The writing style was convoluted and difficult to follow, making it hard to immerse myself in the story. The author's attempts to create suspense fell flat, and I found myself having to force myself to finish the book. The lack of character development and meaningful plot just added to my frustration.

3. Emily - 2/5stars - I had high hopes for "The Pagan Holidays," but it didn't live up to my expectations. The concept was promising, but the execution fell short. The narrative was disjointed, and I often found myself confused about what was happening. The characters were forgettable, lacking the depth and relatability that would have made me care about their fates. The overall story felt lackluster and left me feeling unfulfilled. I would advise readers to look elsewhere for a more engaging and well-crafted read.
