<p>124.168.48.250: </p> <hr /> <div>A terrible ailment which manifests itself upon those who were born human, but who are becoming [[The gods|Gods]]. <br /> <br /> Fortunately rare, but not so rare that the symptoms are not known: the sufferer's feet cause even bare floorboards to think it is Spring, Summer and Autumn and to burst into fruitful life. <br /> <br /> In [[Pyramids]], [[Pteppicymon XXVIII]] found this happening to him in [[Ankh-Morpork]] on the morning when he qualified as an [[Assassins' Guild|Assassin]]. Even loaves of bread burst into corn as his feet passed them. All because, in distant [[Djelibeybi]], his father had died and the Godhood of Pharoah was seeking the heir...<br /> <br /> In [[Wintersmith]], [[Tiffany Aching]] caused onions to grow in winter: only a sharp word from [[Granny Weatherwax]] stopped [[Nanny Ogg]] from repeating the experiment with carrot seeds. <br /> <br /> [[Magrat Garlick]], when forced by circumstances to use magic to open a stubborn castle door, used a spell with a similar effect to cause the oak planks to hallucinate that they were still part of a living, growing, tree. This earned her a rare and unforced compliment from [[Granny Weatherwax]], which speaks volumes for this being an incredibly hard effect to manage by magic alone. Indeed, Granny frankly said she'd have gone about it a different way - she would have found it easier to ignore the wood of the door, and go in via the stonework surrounding it, by prodding the stone's memories of a time when it was all hot and runny... so if even Granny Weatherwax herself would find this difficult to do via magic, powerful forces ''indeed'' are at work here. <br /> <br /> [[Category:Discworld concepts]]</div>
