Overview

For long the dance between a swordsman and his blade has been described as a very personal act. The blade, acting as an extension of one's body like a limb has been taught fore-long, however there is more truth to this sentiment then the Descendants had thought. 


 

A caster who’s blade flies through the air, capable of swordplay alongside the one who wields them is called an Armiger, “one who bears arms”, while the magic that they wield is called Blade Manipulation or Telumkinesis. 


 

OOC; Telumkinesis must be taught to someone by a player with a valid TA. It takes up 2 spell slots to learn.

The Armiger and their Vessel; How it works

Those who have a true understanding of an object control the power of a Vessel. Unlike conventional weapons or objects these arms and things move through the world at the Armiger’s whim. 

 

The way Vessels work is that when imbued with a large amount of mana by an Armiger, the object gains its own mana pool. As every user of mana has a unique Aura, this mana pool shares this unique signature and can only be connected by its creator.
The Vessel will float around essentially “following” its Armiger if not physically holstered, until a consistent flow of mana is sent into the Vessels mana pool allowing the Armiger to control it at will. To learn this is the study of Telumkinesis.

There are two types of Vessels, Combative Vessels and Mundane Vessels. Combative Vessels are used in combat, taking the form of varying types of weaponry. Mundane Vessels however are everyday-objects, and can range from a miners lamp and pickaxe to a seamstress’ sewing needle and measuring tape. Due to the straining nature of both keeping consistent connection to a Vessel and fighting, it’s impossible to connect to multiple combat Vessels whilst one can connect to up to two Mundane Vessels. 

 

A Vessel can take on any appearance, however will always (Unless hidden with a cloaking spell) show the effect of the Armiger’s Aura. For information about Mana Aura’s, see https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/199959-✓-the-aura-of-mana/ 


 

The Origin of Telumkinesis  

The birth of Telumkinesis begun with two conscripted brothers, a Housemage and a knight. The Housemage wasn’t a fighter, however had spent so many days at war that he became more familiar with a blade than the rhythmic sound of a sweeping broom.

The Housemage lost his brother, overwhelmed with the regret of being unable to fulfill a promise made during the gentle respite of camp between battles. the soldier held his comrade's blade close weeping at the thought of what calm, homey pleasantries they would never experience again. Imaging his confidant, grin on their face as they first master how to manipulate a mop into doing a task the soldier unintentionally imbued the fallen brothers blade with a mana pool creating the first Combative Vessel.

It’s believed by those who’d studied the history of the Telumkenetic art that the soldiers familiarity of Housemagery greatly aided the discovery of this magic, as it similarly contains the ability to move objects through mana on a lesser level. Those familiar with the history will sometimes refer to Combative Vessels as Fallen Brothers, although this is lesser known terminology, only aware by those who’d study the arts history thoroughly.

Mana Burnout

A consistent flow between Vessel and Armiger makes Telumkinesis highly mana intensive, and will cause intense strain during use for the Armiger. To keep a reasonable amount of energy during Vessel usage, Telumkinesis causes extreme narcolepsy in everyday life. This comes with various obstacles;
 

Armigers will experience the following symptoms when outside of combat as a result of their lethargic nature once they reach Tier 2.

Purpose

During our time on LoTC many of us have dreamed of roleplaying with flying magic swords alongside one another. It’s been a conversation I’ve had many times with many people, and the demands for such a magic undeniably exist. However it’s well known to be a very difficult thing to balance and implement fairly. Therefore, many of us have been working together to try our hand once more at putting together a fair lore that can offer something new to one's roleplay experience.
We hope that with the broader scope of what can become a “Vessel” will allow more flying doctor-strange cloaks and charmed musicians to join the fray, and with tighter and clearer redlines we bring a balanced enhancement and flavor to CRP martial combat.

[!] Telumkinesis takes up 2 Spell slots. The following is the mechanics of Telumkinesis.

 

 

Tier 1 

[ Tier 1 lasts for 2 years IRP, or 2 IRL weeks. ] 

A connecting Armiger cannot yet craft, fight, or wield any Vessels of any kind. During this stage, they will spend their time connecting with their inner mana. 

 

Teaching Tip

1st - 2nd year of study.

The student must be taught how to connect an object to their personal mana pool. This must be done in a calm environment, where the student can concentrate without fear of distraction.
1 IRP lesson should take place during this time. 


 

Tier 2 

[ Tier 2 lasts for 3 years IRP, or 3 IRL weeks ]

The Armiger is now capable of learning how to imbue their first Vessel. They are capable of connecting 1 Combat Vessel, and 1 Mundane Vessel.

Spells

Spoiler

Feint [ Non-Combat / Base Spell ] 

The Armiger imbues a pulse of mana into a Vessel, causing the effect of their aura to burst outwards explosively from a Vessel momentarily. 

UHJcknytljC61jczMU-NTu2A1tVdTNo639Ujo2PobVVU5thCs-OpA09mgVCjoE4Yhhb50e6a2oBTgMgNmYWpYe8GEt6tMxz6kWzpeQWSz1hNofTMGkhfFW_kHbC8LhTQ3VE-UGvu=s1600Feint is a purely aesthetic spell. 


 

Imbue [ Non-Combat / Taught Spell ] 

The Armiger imbues mana from themself into an object, turning it into a Vessel.
[ 1 Connect, 1 Charge, 1 Cast ]

UHJcknytljC61jczMU-NTu2A1tVdTNo639Ujo2PobVVU5thCs-OpA09mgVCjoE4Yhhb50e6a2oBTgMgNmYWpYe8GEt6tMxz6kWzpeQWSz1hNofTMGkhfFW_kHbC8LhTQ3VE-UGvu=s1600Imbuing a weapon, or object into a Vessel must follow all Redlines for Crafting Vessels. 


 

Awaken [ Combat / Taught Spell ] 

The Armiger tugs on the connection between a Vessel and their mana pool, allowing Vessel combat.
[ 1 Connect ]

> Must follow all of the Redlines for Combat Vessels.

Teaching Tip

3rd - 5th year of study. 

The student can now confidently summon their Aura, and imbue a pulse of their mana into an object. Now, the student will begin learning how to sustain that connection through the object and their personal mana pool. They can do this by directing a constant flow of their mana into an object, and manipulating it in various ways. 

For example the student could flow mana into a small toy, causing it to dance back and forth.

~ 2 IRP lessons should take place during this time.  

 

 

Tier 3

[ Tier 3 lasts for 4 years IRP, or 4 IRL weeks ]

The Armiger has begun to show confidence with the use of their Vessel, whether it be in combat or for mundane use. They are capable of connecting 1 Combat Vessel, and 2 Mundane Vessels.


Spells

Spoiler

Cloak [ Non-Combat / Base Spell ] 

The Armiger hides their Aura from their weapon while holstered, causing it to appear like any other mundane arm.

Teaching Tip

5th - 8th year of study. 
Now that the student is comfortable with Vessel combat, they may consider now moving their focus from martial art to the mundane, and learn how to use two Mundane Vessels at one time. This is very tiring, and will cause extreme lethargicness after training.
~ 2 IRP lessons should take place during this time. 

 

 

Tier 4

[ Tier 4 lasts for 6 years IRP, or 6 IRL weeks. ] 

The Armiger has become impressively skilled in both Combat and Mundane Vessel usage. They are capable of connecting 1 Combat Vessel, and 3 Mundane Vessels


Spells

Spoiler

Reinforce [ Combat / Taught Spell ]
The Armiger sends a pulse of mana through a connected Vessel, causing it to hold together ever so slightly more.

Arcane Specialist [ Non-Combat / Base Spell ]
An effect that only applies when connected to Mundane Vessels. The Armiger will find that they are able to use their Mundane Vessels in looping or automatic motion with minimal thought.

E.G: A Dwarven miner with Telumkinesis might use a lamp as their Vessel, which moves in front of them to light ahead without having to emote it moving ahead to light in front  every time the player moves forward their turn. 

[ 1 connect, 1 cast ]

Tier 5

The Armiger is a spectacle to behold, skilled in both Combat and Mundane Vessels.

Blade Dance [ Non-Combat / Taught skill ]
A harmless but showy ability. The Armiger clears their mind, allowing their Vessels (both Mundane and/or combative) and their Aura to move in spectacular, flashy ways around the Armiger’s person with precision and flare.
[ 1 Connect, 1 Cast ]
UHJcknytljC61jczMU-NTu2A1tVdTNo639Ujo2PobVVU5thCs-OpA09mgVCjoE4Yhhb50e6a2oBTgMgNmYWpYe8GEt6tMxz6kWzpeQWSz1hNofTMGkhfFW_kHbC8LhTQ3VE-UGvu=s1600This spell is purely aesthetic, and cannot be used to harm.

Credit 

- My thanks goes out to the following Crines, RinIsSalty, Imstuckinhell, Hylofear, Xocolataphobia and Basicdoctor for their feedback, thoughts and having fun in general thinking up how to make a balanced, cool feeling combat magic with me in the initial version of the lore.

The special thanks goes to Charbi who made the icon and Armiger title artwork, and to Unduibatily who gave a lot of insightful advice to myself and Americansimp on what mindset we should adopt in writing magic lore.

And a final, grandiose thanks towards Americansimp and Qizu who had also written a very similar concept lore. The two of them created this rewrite alongside me with a lot of feedback from brainstorming from our past experience in attempting this lore, and the Loremag feedback we'd received. -

+1 for me, it would bring some diversity to the melee combat style of crp. as of now its either sword with special metal or some ranged magic or potion. I think this would bring some needed diversity to melee combat in terms of magic. Plus, it would be fun to rp the consequences of being a tired ass nerd

 all the time.

Damn this is underwhelming, ngl telekinesis outclassed this by alot. But the concept is nifty I used to love shooting out telekinetic crossbow bolts and daggers. +1 from me would love to see this type of magic.
