Question On Magic

[LoneWanderer519 3]

Currently, I'm looking into learning magic for one of my characters and I had a question. Would it be "lore friendly" (aka is it likely they would do this) for a wood elf to learn evocation? I read a thing and it says that wood elves don't like arcane magic. The post I read says "Voidal (or Arcane) magic is illegal and widely hated throughout the wood elves." I know that evocation is Arcane magic but for my wood elf character, I'd like to learn earth evocation. The reason I think she would be able to learn it is because since evocation calls upon the intense study of the element which I think could work for my character since she has lived in the woods for most of her life. Anyways, I'd like some opinions on if I'd be able to do this and any information on repercussions from learning it. For example, would my character no longer be allowed among the wood elves or something like would my character be hunted down or something like that for learning it? I don't think that there would be many repercussions so long as no one figured it out through RP but I'm completely open to opinions. Anyways any feedback on whether my character could/would do it and what the repercussions could be would be great. This post might sound slightly stupid but I just want to know since I'd really like to learn it.

Honestly, you're allowed to learn whatever you want.  However I would suggest making a good friend with a magic caster before asking them to teach you.  However the main lore friendly one is for a wood elf to become a druid, WHICH they are recruiting!

This, and for voidal magic be sure not to ask oocly about it, have it something your character looks into, and starts looking around for. As someone with 3 Ta's right now the most annoying thing is when someone asks me to teach them magic oocly. Another thing to concider is to read some magic lore and get a basic grasp of it, since RPing a magic requires heavy knowledge in magic lore oocly to make sure you don't end up powergaming.

 

 

Also moved to correct subforum, try to post questions like these in offtopic or support. If you're every unsure where to post you can pm a gm or fm

Thanks you two! Once the server is up I'll start doing all of this in roleplay. As for now, I'll start researching the heck out of the magics I'm interested in.

One thing I suppose I would add is that it is only unusual for wood elves to learn voidal magic in their main cultural nation of Laureh'lin. For a wood elf separated from that nation, it would not be abnormal necessarily. However, if you wish to have substantial ties to the largest body of wood elves, there might be ramifications for learning voidal magic (like evocation).

Understood. Currently, my character lives at Carasca (I think that's how it's spelled) so it wouldn't affect her greatly but I am also looking into Druidism since it seems to have some interesting forms that I may learn over evocation.

All the default race can learn any magic they want

Plenty of wood elves have magic and live with the wood elves. Do what makes you wanna play. Evocations are the easiest to find a teacher for.

   Well, their culture is kind of druid-y, at least it was when a particular person tried to shove it in that direction. You can do whatever you want, to be honest. But be sure to approach magic in RP, and to not metagame any teachers.

Moved to The Great Library. It shall be sorted into the appropriate category shortly.
