[Shelved][✓] [Alchemy] Auric Oil Clarifications

[Mr. Etan 2839]

This write is to help update and clarify the inconsistencies with Auric Oil that make zero sense. If this is passed simply update the Auric Oil lore. :)

 

Previous Auric Oil lore by Pundimonium:

AURIC OIL

Auric Oil is a curious concoction involving the application of Liquid Essence in alchemy, sought out often by mage hunters, often dousing their blades and weapons within it before battles with magical creatures due to its anti-magical properties.

 

RECIPE

Base: Lard + Liquid Essence

- 2x Instability

- 1x Impediment

- 1x Death 

 

EFFECTS

Auric Oil destabilizes the mana within entities where mana is a primary composition, such as Voidal Horrors or Golems. While it does not have the same effect upon descendants, for example, it still provides a more noticeable amount of pain to those who wield mana more prevalently, namely mages. Ectoplasmic or phantom beings would find their ectoplasm destabilized, making weapons doused in the oil capable of making contact with their intangible forms, disrupting their frames and causing them to demanifest with about three or four direct hits. Atronachs and other mana-based constructs, such as golems, will find the oil to tear through their element like a knife through warm butter, dealing heavy damage to their cores and weakening their casting ability, allowing them to take about four or five direct hits before de demanifesting. Runesmiths’ runes will react violently, trembling and shaking as they crack and thus are damaged. Substances such as Shade Amber would be damaged similarly as if to Aurum, though Shades themselves are unaffected. Mana fueled objects and enchantments can be quite damaged by contact with Auric Oil and the effects of the oil can render the enchantment null or even tear a spell apart directly should it be used to ‘cut’ through the spell. And lastly, Auric Oil is excruciating to Voidal Horrors, tearing them apart by their very seams, cutting through them as if slicing parchment paper with a sharpened knife.

 

Spoiler

- While Auric Oil may cause slight unease or minor pain upon contact with a mana-based being, real damage will only occur if the Oil is applied to a damaging object, such as a blade. 

- Auric Oil would feel akin to salt upon a wound if applied to a Void Mage. Tier Three voidal spells and lower can be cut up by auric oil, and enchantments take heavy damage to the point where two or three direct hits could render the enchantment obsolete. 

- Tier Two.

Clarifications:

 

Remove: - Auric Oil would feel akin to salt upon a wound if applied to a Void Mage. Tier Three voidal spells and lower can be cut up by auric oil, and enchantments take heavy damage to the point where two or three direct hits could render the enchantment obsolete. 

 

Replace with: 

- Auric Oil affects all mana-based spells and creatures (therefore, paladin magic, druid magic, house magic, etc) that are T3 or below.

 

- Mana based spells are NULLED upon contact with this oil (Oil must contact the spell not the caster). Due to this effect the oil upon contact will also act as a "Direct Abjuration" to mana based objects such as tears and obelisks for example.

 

- Mana based creatures will have the mana within destabilized by contact with the oil causing an effect depending on how this may effect the creature, this acts as a "Direct Abjuration" to creatures such as Horrors or Voidstalkers for example.

 

-Enchantments that use Mana based spells would be NULLED and ILLEGIBLE FOR USE FOR THE REST OF COMBAT if effected by Auric Oil as these are mana based objects.

 

Reason:

 

This stuff is made to damage mana based creatures. VOID MAGES ARE NOT MANA BASED CREATURES.

 

This oil can cut through voidal spells because they use mana. SO DO OTHER MAGICS LIKE DIEFIC MAGICS.
