[✗] [Lore Addition] Transfiguration- Vibration

[Booklight12 477]

Vibration (Non-Combative)

 

Description

Being a unique permutation of the altar-position spell, vibration allows the user to create a small shift in the position of a transmutable material that is repeated in a back and forth motion to cause that item to vibrate. This is done by creating a mana anchor on an object through the void, and channeling one’s own mana into the object to create vibration, allowing them to increase its frequency at-will.

 

Mechanics

This spell takes one connect + one charge + 1 cast emote to perform. The Transfigurationist may choose an object within their Transmutation range and use their own Mana to vibrate it. There isn't a hard limit on how high a frequency an object may vibrate at, but as a rule of thumb, the more mass it has, the slower and more difficult it will be to vibrate. Additionally, an object could not go fast enough to meaningfully cause destruction, such as vibrating a statue to crumble, or cause a cave in. Although this spell's value lies mostly in the utilitarian enchantments that are made with this spell; mages may enhance this spell in circling rituals to access the magic in a more destructive form such as caving in a building which houses a dangerous creature. Though  vibration requires at least 3 mages to achieve a frequency able to cause damage to a structure, this could never be used in an active combat situation.

 

Tier Progression

T1 a 1x1 block radius from the user

T2 3x3 block radius from the user

T3 5x5 block radius from the user

T4 7x7 block radius from the user

T5 10x10 block radius from the user

 

Redlines

• Cannot be used to obtain a combat advantage at all, but it may be used destructively outside of combat in a circling ritual with at least 3 other mages

• Like Alter Position, Vibration does not require a thorough understanding of the object in question’s makeup

• Enchantments made with Vibration cannot be used to obtain a combat advantage in any way

• Unlike Alter Position, particulate matter such as sand, or liquids such as uncontained water can be vibrated.

God no please no omg no

pls no 😨

The addition itself is an interesting idea, but the fact it can't be used in combat, and only can be used on objects unless you have the aid of 3 other Transfigurists makes this mad weird

I felt that this spell should only be used for non-combative purposes as all transmutation spells follow this limitation. But I didn't want to completely curtail the destructive uses. If say I wanted to demolish a statue, it'd be way simpler to transmute the legs of the statue into a gelatin substance and allow it to fall. Vibration on the otherhand would simply be ineffective becuase it requires someone to shake a structure to such a degree that it essentially breaks. Perhaps this should be clarified in the cast of more brittle material. Glass for example would be able to be vibrated in a manner that an individual transfigurationist can shatter the glass; but stone/metal structures not so much.

Interesting practical prospects in metalsmithing - tumbling/polishing stones and pieces, for instance, a la the modern-day ultrasonic cleaner. A little confused on the root inspiration for this spell, given the vagueness on particulate matter vibration.

If I cast this on a pair or ((blank)) will they brr or vrr?

This lore has been denied. 

 

 

 

This spell likely isn't going to work or function well, particularly with it's strange theme. We're trying to do-away with passive/free world destruction and griefing, and it's somewhat obvious what the intended use of this spell is because one was told no before. I appreciate the submission and the consideration, but it doesn't make sense as a form of transmutation (or really, with transfiguration) to have this. Even altered, given it's somewhat akin to telekinesis which we've worked out over three years is a magic which likely isn't going to ever see a return, I don't hold hope that this would survive in loremag with any positive or pending feedback, mirrored by management.

 

In any case, thank you for your submission, take it easy; apologies for it's denial.
