[✗] Electricity Lore Re-Write

[TheHeftyDonut 435]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Introduction: The magical arts of evocation is often viewed as simple and basic, given its straightforward nature. An aspiring mage is advised to learn a simple elemental evocation before they choose to delve further into the world of the arcane. With that being true, no spell is without its uses; the different elemental evocations offer the mage a diversity of tools that might be expanded upon further, depending mostly upon their expertise, experience, and creativity.

 Electricity is conjured into the world in a way no different than all other evocations; the mage must connect to the void, create electricity inside of it, and then tug it into the material plane so that it might temporarily be materialized there until whatever will the mage has is performed through it.

 

Magic Explanation: As previously described, the art of electromancy is performed as any other evocation might be. The mage connects themselves to the void, creates whatever construct of sparks they wish to form within the void, and then drag it to the real world through the use of their mana. 

 

A mage’s capacity to manipulate their element depends greatly upon their familiarity with it and their awareness of it. A novice mage would understand the physical concept of electricity - how it behaves whatever environment it’s in, but a mage who has mastered the magic will understand the very idea of electricity, the way it may be conducted by water or metal. The roar of a powerful thunder, of the destruction of a calldown. This understanding allows the mage to craft complex and unique spells.

 

Learning Electricity Evocation: when learning evocation it is much like the other evocations you must know the properties of electricity and how it works/flows. Much like the other evocations you learn this magic through tiers such as Tier one- Tier five getting more spells and more knowledge as you get taught and progress through the tiers. 

 

Properties of Electricity: some of the main properties are listed here. 

 

• Once a spell of electricity is launched, it is launched and cannot be undone. 

• Electricity normally does not have an appearance, instead it is the arcing of the energy off the particles which the mage commands that produces the visible light.

• Electricity that arcs as described above produces visible light, this visible light can be either yellow, white, purple, or blue. These colours are unique to the mage and typically model the closest colour to the mage’s aura (not the colour of the aura, but a close cousin of that colour instead). This means that there should normally be no black or red lightning.

• Electricity moves extremely fast, faster than sound even in normal conditions. This is exactly why you hear thunder after seeing a flash of lightning, for light moves faster than sound. This makes reversing damage from an electricity spell impossible, unlike a fireball, a mage cannot fizzle out a spell mid-cast, since it is a near instantaneous effect. These instant projectiles can be countered with metal deterrents, or shielding insulators like wood. 

• Electricity takes longer to charge up and cast than other evocations, due to the larger than normal amount of mana needed to charge the particles.

• Metal attracts electricity very effectively, since metal is a conductor of electricity. This means that those wearing armour will be affected with more severe burns, but will not suffer similar immobilization as unarmored foes, and the electricity will arc off normal course towards metals and magnetic apparatus in the close radius of a mage casting electricity; somewhat attracted towards armoured targets naturally.

• It is a common misconception that water is a natural conductor of water, while this is normally true, water with minerals is what actually provides the ionic particles required to conduct electricity. Pure water itself (water drawn from water evocation for instance), is incapable of conducting electricity and will not attract bolts towards them. 

• The larger an arc, or rather the longer a projectile travels, the more energy required to cast it. This is because arcs normally do not occur in electricity, rather they occur from the attraction between point a to b. As a result, spells that have larger distances to cover will naturally be more taxing than ones that are closer. -Zythus

General Redlines:

• A mage cannot manipulate real world objects or the real world version of the element. 

• All electricity pulled from the void has to be casted within a line of sight. 

• Electricity follows a path of all conductive metals. 

• Can not pass through walls and other solid objects unless conductive metal. 

• A mage is not immune to his or her magic hen casting. 

 

Purpose:

The purpose of me and Iconic writing this over is to make sure we keep an important and a long lasting element to Lotc for the player base. We also did this because we would rather not let people just lose their magic of this element because no one re-wrote it.

This lore has been denied. 


Reasons;
Lore is too similar to Zythus’ (denied) write
Lore is too vague mechanically, offering little to description
Electric Evocation is hard shelved for a multitude of reasons; none of which are addressed in this write
Writer offers too little, with nothing onward it offers different or unique.
