Of all the races currently in play and revealed, I wish to know which hold the greatest connection to their creator and or god. More specifically where do Glykin stand in such a scale? How would you denote their connection and relationship to Glycon aside from blood and physical trait alone? Is there some practice in Glykin culture, and or would Glycon's followers believe their god is still alive (if you believed the legend) and be driven to search for them in the world? Of course given the events of Heaven's Convention they wouldn't be so active. Is there any practice that Glycon would frown upon? IE, homonculi creation, practice of huggesoan spells, stuff like that.

Phenex would probably be the ones that have the greatest 'connection' and belief in their own patron god. Glykin are much more varied. Some may believe Glycon is alive, and some may not. There's no particular culture associated with it, so it would heavily depend on the Glykin in question. Don't forget that Azorus was a Glykin as well, so there are definitely extremes within the race.

How does the Church view Albedo, its derivatives (all Homunculi except for Amalgama), and its operatives? Would Mercana abuse in Albedo (the actual headquarters) be detectable by Mercala? If Church Knights must investigate an Albedo operative abusing Mercana, and due to the nature of Albedo and its operatives being able to teleport around the Great Six, would Church Knights have methods to handle such abusers and situations?

1) I imagine they would not hold a positive opinion of them simply because of Amalgama, though not all members practice necromancy.
2) It is possible, however for that reason it would also be unlikely that Albedo members would utilize Mercana to that point.
3) Probably not directly, but apprehending them elsewhere if they're found outside of Albedo HQ is a possibility.

- Are the Mercalan Tenets a law or a lesson for all healers in the world? (I.E, "As a law, following the doctrines of the church is a must for every healer and if you don't follow you will be subject to harsh punishments.", "As a lesson, following the doctrines should be something you're made passionate about, because you want the world to become a better place, and by breaking them you're going against your own very ideals.")

- Beyond the tenets and the Church's wishes, are there more practical, "scientific" reasons for people to not be healing their every paper scratch they have with healing magic?

- Does Mercana have classifications when regarded to other methods of healing, such as being called "Minor" or "Major" depending on its effects? (For the Wiki's newest entry in regards to Mercana x Other Healing Methods).

1) They're basically law if you're using Mercana, because the Church does not really sit idly by when made aware of abuse. However it's not a law in the sense that a guard unit will arrest you for using it (this is something the Church enforces themselves).
2) Magic is draining and requires practice. It's not something everyone can do. Often the only way to learn is from the Church or someone who was associated with them at one point.
3) I'm not sure which specific page you're referring to. I would ask Blissey, since they're likely to know the answer.

Do bras exist? If not, what is commonly used as a replacement?

Yes, in both normal form, or 'breast wraps' that are just cloth tied around the chest area and pinned in the back.

A very short and minor question but it leads into several different questions to help clear up a few things.

Main question: Which of the three Homunculi are considered fused-based? Since it wasn't stated which can be and which aren't.
Sub question: With the creation of Homunculi, is it possible to create, let's say an Amalgama with a living sacrifice?

• If so, will that person's soul still be a part of said body afterward? Just bound with the new spirits?
  

1) Chimera are fusion-based.
2) No, Amalgama are only created from the souls of the dead.

A GM had mentioned in the past about a "black market" of some description selling copy spells in one of the Discord channels. Is this an actual thing? And if so, assuming someone was willing to look for it, exactly what sorts of spells would they be able to find there, and how expensive would they be to obtain?

I don't think it would be impossible to find spells for sale at places like Law's End if you asked in the right places. As for the price and inventory, I can't say, and it would likely vary greatly depending on the danger involved in trading them. Probably not cheap, though.
