The fact that you only have 13 rep so far astounds me.

you better rep this people are gunna read it and rep you even more.

The system that was previously instated did absolutely nothing for player cliques.  You act like that was the be all end all way to end cliques on the server.  Enlighten me.  What sort of cliques are you talking about? IC or OOC?  If it's OOC it's simple really you have a sit down with them and say "look you can't be the only ones able to teach this magic and only teach it to your friends.  Stop being a cock and teach others or lose your TA."

 

If it's IC you find a way to get into their good graces IC because no staff member has any business trying to change something that is IC.

 

EDIT: Kudos to the staff for making the appropriate change when clearly something questionable was happening, and then making a good decision after that as well.

And what now then? What are you going to do against the player created cliques?

You can master two or three magics so you should be able to teach two or three magics?

The MAT is working hard to make sure that the spread of magic is being both moderated and encouraged. We're talking policy changes as I'm writing this. Hold onto your butt, progress is coming.

 

Thanks for my medal of honor, Tsu, but I'd rather have REP.

Well to be fair, if you can master three magics then you should be able to teach three magics? What's the point in teaching a magic that you halfway know? What stops the student from overpowering? Etc etc.

Thank the gods, aspects, and the MAT for removing the previous rule!

Okay, this actually makes sense to me now that I think of it, perhaps only teaching 3 magics would be a bit more realistic and logical; they have to be the ones you master?

A MAGIC APPLICATION.

Because you don't need to be a master to teach something. Also because we want players to be at least a bit free with magic, and allowing a player to teach multiple types of magic to multiple players is better than just allowing teaching two types of magic.

Also, I might be wrong, but from what I remember, you can only master 2 magics, be adept at another 2, and be novice at another.

Pretty sure it doesn't tell you what level of skill you are able to reach.

[Song Druid 1486]

I'm pretty sure those guidelines are already in place.  And regardless, how does that issue which you have brought up in any way get affected by the rule in question?  You've jumped ship to an entirely different can of worms now.

[Caelria 2619]

We did it homies. Now all we need to do is fight pvp default with the same vigor and unbridled 'tarded rage.

It has relevance since the topic is about magic teaching and the question Pess asked is about magic teaching.

Literally with teaching more than two magics I highly doubt you could have enough time for more than three or four students. Teaching three magics is more than enough with the time you could possible have?

I did ask two separate things friendo.

What does that have to do with the rule? The rule has nothing to do with the number of students you can have, but the number of magics you can teach. You can have a TA for 4 magics, but only have 2 students learning 2 of the magics, then 4 months later you get 2 more students for the other 2 magics. This rule has really nothing to do with time for students because it has nothing to do with amount of students a teacher can have. Even with only being able to teach 2 magics, they would still be able to have 15 students at the same time, so that rule would not stop that problem.

[Old-Rattlesnake 1534]

So if I had a TA for telekinesis a few months back but forgot the magic, can I self-teach myself the magic again?

[Crowbill 493]

Tbh as I have heard from people about magic teaching (Since I'm a 0 with magic) a teacher only needs to help the student with the basics of magics, meaning that full gandalf style training isn't needed....
