Aelu / Rel (Combustionary) 1540 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Hello! For the past few weeks, we've noticed a fair degree of feedback based around the current process of magic self-teaching. After the review of said feedback, as well as a good deal of internal discussion, the Magic Team has come to a decision regarding the change of Self teaching. In order to self-teach a magic on the self-teachable list, your character must already be proficient in a magic of the same archetype. For example, in order to self-teach fire evocation, you must already know another magic in its archetype, such as water evocation. Now, with this change in place, I would like to mention that we're still going to be tweaking and adjusting it. Feel free to post any ideas to improve the system as a comment or a feedback thread, both will be checked. Also, note that players who have already been accepted for self-teaching a magic will be permitted to continue doing so. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space 2335 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I know the answer is no, but if your character knew communion, could they self teach natures healing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This only applies to magics that are currently self-teachable, listed in the Magic Applications subforum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpaqueGlass 17 Share Posted August 18, 2016 What about telekenisis? Were I to be wanting to learn this, what would you need to know beforehand? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski_king3 0 Share Posted August 18, 2016 It still baffles me that this decision would be made. This change makes it far more difficult for those without OOC connections to magic users to learn magic, something that is a problem the MAT won't recognize because they will never have to face it. They are deeply ingrained in these OOC connections. The idea that this is favorable to spending ten minutes when someone applies with a self-taught app to OOCly explains the ins and outs of the magic is unjustifiable and super unwelcoming. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski_king3 0 Share Posted August 18, 2016 The responses to this thread should serve as evidence enough to why this change is absurd and completely contradicts the point of self-teaching. https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/148145-the-removaladjustment-of-self-teaching/ 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that we discussed previously is currently being ironed out and I'm hoping will be implemented sometime soon once it's been discussed. Although if it somehow doesn't come to fruition, feel free to raise some hell and I'll join in. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallic 1066 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I know this was already decided, but the discussion post was way too intimidating for me to say anything. I honestly feel like self-teaching should be appropriate, provided you have an OOC 'mentor' person to ask questions and make sure you're actually RP'ing correctly... Which would pretty much be a normal MA, but purely OOC. Wait that's dumb... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly molly molly 1329 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Now, it will be even more difficult to learn magic! My teachers hardly teach me lessons, and I am completely at their mercy, forced to beg for lessons from them (the last time I had a telekinesis lesson was about 3 weeks ago, and that was only to connect to the void). My teacher won't even respond to my numerous attempts to contact them, and will not give me lessons in this art. I was going to just self teach myself, so I wouldn't have to deal with this frustration. But now? You must already know a magic in that archetype? This means I will not even be able to progress further in my magic I am learning for a very long time, considering my lack of teaching. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can report shitty teachers and the system is still being tweaked as said at the bottom of the post. I'll PM you over skype to get more details.
