A Druidic Announcement

[OldeTymer 323]

((The post serves to make a couple OOC announcements regarding Druids and Druid magic that will affect Druid RP. Lacking a better place to locate this post, please stand by...))

For quite awhile now, since about the removal of the Magic system and apps, the attunement ceremony, the ceremony officially making a Dedicant a Druid, allowed an individual automatic access to use Druid magic. A change has been made to revert back to an older system.

 

Attunement is the moment when a Druid is finally connected to nature and the Aspects. It isn't the moment when they can use magic right off the bat; it's the moment when they have the potential to use it. Dedicancy is a period when an individual learns the way of Druidism, from the Aspects to serving Nature, while Druidism will be putting those principles to use while learning how to use "nature's gifts" or "the Aspects' blessings".

 

This change goes into affect from this point on. That being said, any Druids with MA's or having learned in the Druid archetype of magic can continue their practice. However, after being attuned, a Druid must seek to be taught how to learn Druid "magic" by a teacher. Anyone who is adept in the Druid subtypes and has been approved, both IC and OOC, by an Archdruid may teach other attuned Druids how to access the 'blessings of nature".

 

(A document shall be kept on Druids who know magic, who are learning, and who can teach soon. If you wish to teach magic, poke an Archdruid soon. If you wish to learn, seek out an experienced Druid in-game.)

Another recent change has been made with Druidism. From this point on, no longer will the use of other magic-types break a Druid's connection to nature. In the past, when a Druid left the Order to practice some other form of magic, their attunement was said to shatter and they were no longer considered Druids. Any Druids prior to this change, and who were considered unattuned from the usage of other magic, are still unattuned. There's no redaction to Druidism for you folks due to this change.

 

Here are a few important notes. This does not mean we are accepting magic within the Order, nor does it mean mages will be accepted any easier than before. Also, any Druids who decide to go against Druidic beliefs and practice magic outside of Druidism will have their connection to nature (their attunement) forcibly stripped from them by the Order if and when they are discovered (You must notify the Order OOCly if you pick up magic practice). Finally, it has been taught in-game that non-Druid magic corrupts and unattunes a Druid. The knowledge on this change in only OOC, so please do not meta-game and assume your character knows Druids can wield other sorts of magic.

That will be all, thank you.

Good on you for making it more RP oriented :)

Good stuff.

 

Thudrin shall make his return soon!

These are good changes. Druids should focus on being druids, and not focus on the magic.

I am confused as to how you forcibly strip them of attunement, I am curious as I used to want to be a druid

Aengudaemonic magic can only be given by a powerful user of that magic. The ritual is connecting the Aengudaemon(s) (in this case the Aspects) to the person, which allows the magic user to channel their power and thus, use their magic. Now, a reverse ritual can be completed by users of the magic once more, that removes the connection to the Aspects and will render them unable to use the magic. I may be wrong about what I have said, need confirmation take every word I have typed with a grain of salt or two.

You're right, and before the moment you use other magic, you are no longer a druid. Which breaks the lore of aengudeamons, you need to kill or disable the flow magic to the mage (or in this case druid), the strip of power, it can't be done instantly or with no RP

Three druids working together can perform a ritual to strip the attunement from someone. They need the person they're stripping the attunement from there with them.

Basically, to unattune someone, we now have to hunt them down, rather than consider it automatically done.
