Changes to Self-Teaching Magic

[meg 1994]

literally just write magic guides it'd solve all your problems in regards to shitty magic rp people could self-teach effectively while having something to refer to outside of a current user/mat....

We should introduce this system to melee fighters. Powergaming from a mage or a sword fighter is equal.

I'm sick and tired of these nobody epic master sword fighters coming from no where calling everyone else edgy.

Is the rule still in place where you need screenshots and such? 

[Lotoke 25]

It will be most successful on the terms of elemental evocation.

While their are merits to this 'rule change' as a concept, all it provides is mages getting more magics instead of getting better at their existing one. What it is meant to do is prevent random players from having instant pew pews (correct?) however it doesn't adequately deal with this, it just further takes the opportunities away.

 

I would say that if someone wanting to be a mage decides to embark upon the journey to self teaching, that their application must involve detailed accounts of having witnessed someone perform that exact magic. Otherwise, how the heck do they have any idea that it can even be done? Because you read it in a book? I read in a book that Humans are loyal. Doesn't mean it isn't fiction.

 

You wouldn't necessarily need a teacher, but you would need to see how it is properly performed. More than once.

Since i'm still technically self-teaching Arcanism even after doing it for what, two years or so, can I still continue using it? Does this apply retroactively?

 

Seems a little unfair to retcon this sort of thing. What's to stop people flocking to the more common evocation types then bailing after reaching "tier 1" level in order to self-teach a type with few teachers? How does this even hope to improve quality of magic roleplay?

Seems all well and good.
