I like this idea, just don't make this a circle jerk. Make it so any mage can transcend.

So basically you took wraiths and gave them an arcane twist? I don't know how I feel about this but it could be a cool idea if it doesn't turn super exclusive.

Can only normal mages become this, or perhaps dark things that can use maegik as well?

Dark mages can not, except for the rare circumstance of just being a blood mage.

Hrm. Certainly interesting, but...erm...

 

Well, becoming what is essentially "I can't believe it's not a wraith!" doesn't feel like a very appropriate endgame for void magic users. It feels a bit overkill, actually. After all, void magic is the "basic" form that magic comes in on the server, the obligatory source for which all "vanilla" subtypes of fantasy magic are drawn from. However, I perceive a simple, easy fix to this little issue. A risk to choosing this path.

 

Whenever a character with access to this goes into "transcendent form," they must roll the standard d20. On a 1, the character's transformation backfires, sucking them into the void itself. This results in an auto-PK, and ensures that those with this power use it sparingly, not whenever they see a few bandits approaching, or indeed when any conflict breaks out at all. After all, if they've gotten this far with their skill in their chosen subtype, they can surely deal with minor threats using what they've already mastered, and what power they already have gained.

 

Edit: Alright, it doesn't strictly /have/ to be auto-PK, it's just that I strongly recommend that solution be at least encouraged. Either way, the laughter of the dice gods results in a death, PK or otherwise.

I was actually thinking about something like this the other day, but couldn't quite bring my ideas together.

It sounds great, well done!

A rolling system is very iffy. As it currently stands going into transcendent form leaves you extremely vulnerable, and would leave the Transcendent in extreme pain right after. The example originally given was yes, poor. And transforming is not meant to be done in situations like that, as you would easily be killed if you did such during combat. And void magic isn't meant to be the basic or vanilla, it is simply the middle in the magical scale.

Mm, excuse that. These forums are shitty. I was going to say something along the lines of what jax said, but he got to you first. I appreciate the feedback though!

      Stein's Final Moments
      Alone, that was the feeling he felt, as he laid on the table in the surgical room in the Hohkmat clinic. Fear made itself  known as well, as he was recently cured from vampirism in that very room. The fear only grew as the restraints seemed to get tighter and the room spinning. Two others made there way in, separate, and at different times. They were once friends, family even if it came down to it. But his actions caused them to forget him as someone good. Hour's passed by as Stein, now called Almer, laid there on the surgical table, waiting for his fate to be decided. The door creaked open and his restraints came loose, allowing himself to sit up. His fate had been decided, the only thing he could do, was make it painless. The choices were simple, die a painful death, or be put to sleep, feeling nothing. The decision was simple, as he took the Nightsap juice given to him.
       
      Before drinking, memories of his life flashed in his mind, memories of his childhood on his farm with his family, that he had forgotten so long ago. Now taking a drink of the juice, memories of his time in Reinmar, the friends he made that grew into a family outside of his original home on the farm. And as he slowly drifted away, his memories were of his new friends, now wishing him dead. The last image that made it's way to his mind was everyone he knew, gathered together. Almost like a final farewell, even though he did not deserve it. As his death drew near a tear rolled down his face, before his heart stopped, his limbs and body turning cold, and his image, slowly fading away, into the darkness, as he drew his very last breath.
       
      --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      OOC NOTE:
      Finally, after almost three months of playing as Stein/Njal/Almer, I have finally made the decision to pk him. This wasn't the ending I wanted for him, however this is the ending I am giving him. I am taking this time to thank everyone that was a part of his life, these past three months on the server have been a blast. Stein and myself have made a lot of friends that I hope to keep and play along side them with other characters I make. So for those reading this thank you and to anyone that knows, give a salute as "The Stone Fortress" has finally fallen.
       
      I will now take the time to thank those that have impacted Stein's life greatly @FunkehMelon @melonth @ickyNuN @confusedjester @Rocky_Wolf @SmothBM  @Irishmanmichael  and of course many more that I am sadly too lazy to actually search up and apologize for it. However though not everyone that has impacted Stein's life will be on here, I have not forgotten you and will never forget you. So thank you all for the fun three months, and I will see you all in my next lives <3!
