We're gonna try things a little differently this time! When an update is posted, this thread will briefly open up. Then, after a few hours/days, it will close again. Come, and let us explore the terrifying ramifications of this novel new approach.
And remember:
This thread is for commands only! If you would like to comment on an update, comment on someone else's comment, or comment on Prequel itself (e.g. "just found this, love it") please do it on the site itself! It's great hearing from you guys, but this thread is for commands.
Because this thread is going to be frequently closed, feel free to leave any fanart on the Site's fanart page! Or anywhere on the site, really. I read all the comments anyway.
If you want to talk about The Elder Scrolls things not related to Prequel (e.g. the best mods, best playthroughs, etc), please do it in this thread!
If you want to talk about art things unrelated to Prequel (e.g. how to remove gif dithering), please do it in the appropriate Art Forum sticky!
Links will be posted here whenever a new update happens. Let's get this show on the road!

W-wait... not only did she break through the amulet's magic to cast some fire... she also caused the alcohol to * spontaneously combust* without needing the spellfire to first come from her hands! (..paws...handpaws)
>Katia: Feel extremely proud of your willpower, It might have just jumped up by a few points.
There is a hand upon your shoulder,
a firm grip, yet it feels light, like a fond memory that much older,
Maybe it is the burden of a thousand choices in this world,
maybe it is the weight of everything else that has been hurled,
upon you, your past, and your future deeds,
which choke, and pull, and confuse your needs,
the strength is not welcome, because the weight becomes greater,
the comfort in this iron grip is painful, and the stage lights blind in this theater,
but it is your lines, your part which you must play,
it is your moves, your direction, everything is your way,
when forced by contact, when improv and by misstep,
you have failed yourself, you think, you've laid down and wept,
but now, here now, you realize the choice,
now here now, you realize, you speak with only your voice,
this stage, you realize, is a cage, of your mind,
the world is yours, along with a past you can't leave behind,
for it made you who you are, and fueled what you would wrought,
and perhaps, in the end, will afford you everything you have sought,
yet that future, like all, is a distant pressing wait,
and upon your back remains this steady weight,
I know you think it heavy, a burden to bear,
but I hope you find gladness that it will always be there,
for that weight is a hand, firm in it's grasp, speaking to you of future and past,
it is the hand of all of those who follow you, and care,
though they must at times be silent, the hand remains there,
steady, unwavering, undaunted by failure, and accept each as our own,
for with this hand on your shoulder, no matter how heavy, you know you are not alone,
yes, I know, with this pain the world seems colder... but you know we're always with you, for,
There is a hand upon your shoulder.

Reason: Spoiler-ed so everyone doesn't have to read the sappy tripe. My gift to Kaztia.
Alright, I think that's enough for one night. Clean up the broken glass as best as you can and get some rest, you'll need it in the morning to take the next couple steps in making Katia Managan a proud contributing member of society.
Oh shit, take care of that blanket fire before the whole building goes up in flames. You don't want arson added to your list of recent failures.
Anyways, gather the broken glass, it might be useful as an impromptu knife or something.
Now sleep. using that recently burned warmed blanket. You've had a long day.
Not only did you show an incredible amount of willpower just there, you spontaneously learned a new flame spell, AND your fire is strong enough to get through the amulet, too!
...You should go take a look at the amulet, take it off see if it isn't damaged or spent or anything like that...
Whew, okay. Well, that done, pat yourself on the back. You made a step many alcoholics dream of, and you did it on your own. We're all proud of you, the various voices in your head.
Now, as for the whole 'Burning while still wearing the amulet,' thing: Make a note to check the amulet for defect or need of recharge. Barring that, it would seem you are a powerful enough mage, and/or were burning with so much hatred for the alcohol that has haunted you for years, that you broke through a spell that master mages under the threat of death could not break.
You are special Katia. Don't doubt that again.
Also:
Be the amulet> What happened man? Ponder your failure.
Whoa... I mean.. what you just did was... AMAZING! If the cycle of drinking wasn't just shattered completely, it DEFINITELY took a severe kick to the groin.
And that spell... holy SHIT! It would have been brilliant if you burned all that alcohol WITHOUT the amulet, but to do it even with the amulet trying to stop you? That has the same enchantment that has rendered countless great mages before you harmless? Jaw dropping. Seems like you get just how AWESOME that was too, you should see your own face! Let's not forget, you didn't even have to throw the fire at it, just made it so WITH YOUR FUCKING MIND!
You should probably stamp out the fire on that blanket though, wouldn't want this awesome moment to turn to shit due to a massive fire.
So yeah, I don't think that amulet can really do you much good anymore. Seems like you're past its level of power. Maybe sell it? Could go for a pretty penny, maybe.
Now just don't get reckless. Even with your new-found power you shouldn't go trying to burn down the guild hall again. Plus, who wants to be near that place anyway? Losers, that's what the people who live there are.
But.. SERIOUSLY. THAT WAS FUCKING SWEET!
Also:
Chapel: Realize you are made of primarily stone, and do not catch fire.
>Katia: Make a mental note to complain about the amulet when you return to anvil.
Also, Fire without cat burns? Fantastic, Katia is officially a mage.
>Katia: The church is made of stone and thus cannot catch fire. Remove amulet and try to use fire spells without cat burns again. It's best to remove the amulet, you don't want to kill that little puppy any more than you already have.
Don't lose that, Katia! You need to practice this! Now that you've seen you can succeed, you've got hone your skills so you can do it more consistently! Even if it's just for an hour or two, you need to work off some steam. Just stay away from the orphanage, okay?
Puppy Soul in the Amulet: Im not saying that you're doing a bad work, but that was a bad doggie! Bad! You're supposed to stop her from destroying thing, without you the city is probably doomed.
