• ...which if funny because Nature is what I was leaning toward of the three. Let's keep hmmm...ing for now.
• I think Experience should cover things which are decidedly abstract and based on perception. Cheers and jeers seem like obvious sounds or information that have been captured.
• How about Creative Expression? It's not perfect, but creative often implies some type of leisurely pursuit (as opposed to an invention or innovation) and expression often implies something verbal (as opposed to painting or sculpting), even though both terms <i>can</i> cover more than what we're intending.
• I think changing Girl's Thoughts is a good idea.
• They could potentially double in whatever expression ends up being. I think they should at least stay in technique though.
• Warrior's Memories is another difficult one. It's a collection of experiences to the warriors, but to the outsider it seems as if it would be concrete information. Also, I love the mysticism of Baten Kaitos that lets mementos to turn into memories. :D
• That <i>is</i> what I was thinking, but the Magnus isn't at all what I thought. You're right, it should be under information.

<p>The work was definitely worth it. I'm not entirely sure why, but what I do know is that Baten Kaitos had a great effect on me back in the day. I guess I'm still captivated. :p But yeah, Quest Magnus shouldn't be too hard. I finished Picture/Constellation/Camp Magnus very quickly and Quest won't be different. </p>

• Architecture is go then. I might take out a few that are just <i>too</i> different from that description and put them under Tool since that's become a catchall for items of specialized commerce or activity.
• Same frustration here. /: Logically, Element is the perfect word, but it's too loaded in the context of the series. If nothing reveals itself, "Raw Material", "Natural Resource", or simply "Nature" will have to do.

<p>Haha, sorry, that does look confusing in retrospect. :p The + was basically a check-mark, which might have been obvious on its own, but I used the - to indicate a break between our comments, so you were left with something ambiguous to say the least.
And I can't describe how awesome it felt to add the final Quest Magnus! The culmination of two years of tinkering and occasional frustration has finally arrived with pages/images for all Magnus from both games and an infobox to hold pretty much all information about every one of them. It's only basecamp with a mountain of stubs left to climb, but it's still an amazing realization for me. :) </p>

<p>Thank you for adding those! I'm going to take a stab at these last few: </p>

• Blank Magnus -> Technology.
• Heartflask -> Through its 5 incarnations, it begins as technology and ends up containing the first stages of a life force (presumably Kalas's), so Technology for the first 3, Technology/Other Life (what we've technically called "Unclassified Life Form" which sounds as atrocious to me as it probably does to you) for the final 2.
• Magna Mess-Up -> Industrial Material seems closest, after all industry produces waste.
• The Beast's Chains, The Beast's Collar, The Beast's Shackles -> Whatever this Beast is, its strictures seem to be an integral part of its being, so I'm inclined towards Animal Product.
• Harp of Slumber -> A tool of trade for the musician, this can be uncomfortably lumped in with Tool.

<p>I don't know how my college managed to time-strap me on the first day of the quarter, but so it is. </p>

• Anyhow, Animal product, Plant product, Trinket, Utensil, and Book are go.
• Furnishing sounds less abstract than Homeware and will definitely work.
• I like Infrastructure, but I also like Architecture. Per Wikipedia: "A general term to describe buildings and other physical structures," which leaves my inner organizer giddy.
• I'll keep pondering nature...

<p>That would be great to add recategorizable Magnus to the page! I'll try to get back to this in more detail tomorrow. </p><p><span style="color:red;">EDIT:</span> About the Origins Magnus descriptions, maybe you could take a look at the Greythorne Magnus to confirm that they're all toys other than the storybook or song. <span style="color:red;">EDIT 2:</span> I found them actually. I don't think there's any others that need research right now. </p>

<p>Haha, you definitely care. This is the greatest organizational challenge on the Wiki's plate right now, so I appreciate the backup. I suppose it's time for dialoguing. Starting with the easiest to solve: </p>

• Ashes/Charcoal: Rock?
• Mermaid's Tears: I've had a well defined category in my head describing non-meat animal products like this or Saber Dragon Horn or even Silk, but I haven't known quite what to call it. Wikipedia uses the term Animal product. Would that work? Additionally, might we create a parallel category for certain Magnus that contain a Plant, such as Oakwood, which are obviously plant products but are not literally whole plants?
• Pots and knives: Utensils is the word I've been leaning toward. Wikipedia divides kitchen and eating utensils, but that's probably not necessary for what we're going for.
• Emblems and medals: Trinket seems like a good word; I think the wider context would be one of art, similar to Statues.
• The slushies: these types of things have always been considered drinks to me (i.e. ordered as drinks, usually off of drink menus), but this might vary regionally. They could probably pass as either.
• Mattresses/ jewellery boxes: Furniture?
• Clouds, fire, ice: all parts of the natural world, but difficult to label. I've got nothing for now, but I'm optimistic.
• Feelings/information: I've considered things like Information, Story, Advice, Emotion, Attitude. We might end up using more than one.
• Paper products: stationery sounds good for now.

<span style="color:red;">Edit: </span>Roratude, I'm posting a list of Magnus that haven't been categorized yet so we can get a sense of how many Magnus might be in each and what categories we will need to make. I want it to be editable by both of us though so you can find it here. Keep in mind that many come from Origins which we don't have descriptions for yet, so we won't have full details about what the Magnus contains other than the title and picture. Some are also for EWatLO Quest Magnus, so expect some red links. One last thing: our Wiki's bot can very easily be made to execute mass, uniform edits such as adding a single string of text to a multitude of pages. If you'd prefer to let it fill in the "Contains" information to free up your own time, just let me know. </p>

<p>No problem, that's what the Wiki is here for! </p>

<p>You want to read the prayer in English? Check out the Wiki's page for the Ocean's Prayer. </p>

<p>I like how it takes place on an island in the sky. It makes me think back to Baten Kaitos. ;) </p>

<p>I had a lot of fun playing Twilight Princess. Have you played Skyward Sword already? I haven't gotten around to it yet. :( </p>

<p>My favorite is the Wind Waker. I'd love to play the new HD version, but I don't have a WiiU. What's your favorite? :) </p>

<p>I like all of those series a lot! Legend of Zelda is my favorite too. </p>
