[Lore] Ruibrium - Demon Stone

[Mouse 324]

Doesn't this allow you to directly put extra life force into your body and perform super-necromancy? Likewise, wouldn't consuming this stuff freeze your organs?

 

Not in the slightest.

 

Since the processed product allows the strengthening of ones' focus on the arcane, what would this achieve in situations not considered passive? Utilizing this ruibrium for the sake of concentration during magical rituals seems viable, but if used during combative instances, would a mages' focus remain keen despite sustaining forms of bodily trauma? For example, a regular wizard wouldn't be able to focus well after being bashed in the gut. Would he fare better when under the effects of ruibrium, despite his pain?

 

They would fare somewhat better to an extent, however the use of processed Ruibrium during active magic use, say like in combat, is not license to powergame nor get out of the downsides of using magic.

Processed ruibirum needs to be reworked, as in its current state it is liable to be used for powergaming. The lore simply states it improves focus, and without any context or guidelines this makes it too open-ended.

Alright we'll rework it. Requesting a little delay on the review while we do?

Regardless of how Processed Ruibrium is used, when ingested or activated on the skin, after spells are cast and the Ruibrium used, the substance will begin to take it’s adverse effects. Almost immediately the user will begin to feel nauseous and dizzy, feeling somewhat lightheaded. They will often times develop short term tunnel vision, in practicality leaving the mage vulnerable to attack.

 

How to RP

In short, Processed Ruibrium allows for a mage to cast arcane based magic with some more ease, as the substance enhances one's focus for a period of time only directly after consumption or usage. The substance allowing the mage to create a more focused and sensitive link to the void, the mage is able to cast his/her spells somewhat faster, though by no means making them more powerful. Like always, however, the mage will still have their concentration broken by a bodily blow, an extreme distraction etc.

This also means that the player must actively emote applying or activating any Ruibrium that is desired to be used in any situation, combat or passive. Wandering into a situation, and then revealing that you have active Ruibrium applied to your body (whether it be potion or any other form) would be considered powergaming, and thus would need to be something considered before getting involved in a heated situation. Much like equipping a weapon or a piece of armour, Ruibrium would need to RPLY activated.

Also, the immediate side effects are required to be RP’d  to reduce the risk of powergaming from a player. Effects such as tunnel vision and dizziness immediately after casting etc, which are listed in the above paragraphs, are required to be rply mentioned or used to influence how your character behaves when using the active processed Ruibrium.

I would also suggest having a GM/Lore Master or the Lore writers to approve Ruibirum farms for players to reduce either how many players can claim that they have the substance to aid them, or to keep track of those using it and growing it in RP. It’s unlikely that anyone should have a significant amount of Ruibirum straight away, and infact should take a long, long time to create a decent amount.

With implementation of the recent changes, this lore has now been [accepted] .

 

In terms of control over its growth, you may dictate whom may or may not grow it. However should you fall inactive this decision will be granted to the LM's (Inactivity meaning no response within two weeks of inquiry).
