...it's a bit more than just that: it included the performative ambience of an assembled orchestra - conductor and musicians - managing their bodies, instruments, and staging equipment as they turn through sheet music of their respective parts, as well as that of the venue and audience...

...there's quite a bit going on in a proper performance which we've been trained to otherwise ignore...

...i don't buy soft drinks but i feel like two-liter bottles were supplanted by three-liter bottles in the 2000s as the new standard size...

...wait, hang on, so we've got the phantom menace, andor, rogue one, star wars, the holiday special, the empire strikes back, return of the jedi, the ewok adventure, and that other one: i count sixteen hours of movies plus twenty-four hours of series, that's like totally doable in two-and-half days, or a full work week if you're feeling lazy...

...how would you characterise dominate person cast with indefinite duration?..

...upcasting dominate person at eighth level can maintain up to eight hours with concentration, so i'd be inclined to consider twenty-four hours duration equivalent to a ninth-level spell, but perhaps i'm under-gauging the difference in power between eighth and ninth-level spells?..
