Want To Play A Wizard

[Drake 0]

I want to play a wizard. I would like to have some suggestions/help below. Thanks.

My first suggestion would be to apply for the server. Keep in mind you cannot apply to the server as a magical character, or knowing magic, learning magic, etc. Magic itself on LotC is a very rewarding roleplay that is moreso based around providing roleplay to others rather then yourself, which is something people forget occasionally. If you want to be a magic-based character to provide roleplay, when you are accepted to Lord of the Craft you can seek out a magic teacher in roleplay and hopefully they'll teach you! 

 

Try not to be pushy or desperate with that sort of thing because they are people too behind the monitor with their own lives. Anyways, I wish you luck in your endeavours!

In addition, whilst your character-to-be can only grow based off of the information taught to him/her IC (in-character), people here on the forums are generally more than happy to help you get to grips with some of the more basic concepts found in magic (mana, the aura and what it's color can mean, the ideas surrounding the "Void" etc, etc). Never be afraid to ask a question, no matter how stupid or basic it might sound in your head; some of those most simple questions can have really interesting and helpful answers to them.

Moved to Off Topic considering this isn't technically a roleplay thread. 

 

As for my adviser, firstly as said above, apply to the server. Once accepted and whitelisted, explore, flesh out your character, and find an active community. I wouldn't join for the sole purpose of learning magic, you may find it will be exhausting if that is all you'll be doing with your character. Generally teachers don't like being directly asked to teach, so don't come off too strong, maybe buy them some dinner first.

Moved to the Archive. It shall be sorted into the appropriate category shortly.
