Panashea 2644 Share Posted April 13, 2023 This is a hub location to describe the purposes of Asceticism and its practical uses. Asceticism is a unique Feat and Magic, purposefully written to slot into any magic group, faith or religion on the server. Rather then writing and assigning Asceticism to a specific identity, its identity is malleable enough for anyone to use to fit their niche. Asceticism serves as a means for independent players to form their own magic groups and religions with tangible backbones, in addition to serving the magic community by giving them a host of prospective players. Vetting players is often difficult, and finding good "cultists" often leaves new players left to dry or waiting to be taught a magic rather then pursuing an engaging narrative. Asceticism serves to fill that gap by creating self-sufficient magic users who are compatible with every magic sub-type and aesthetic. Currently Asceticism is two pieces, though may expand should someone want integrate it with their lore submission. The first is the [MA+FA], and the second a marriage piece. ASCETICISM THE SOUL BLOOD RITES DEFINITIONS Obeisance - The curse or affliction that allows an Ascetic to make their FA. Glyph - The OOC name for a Specific Spell Ascetic - An individual who can use Glyphs not through Shamanism or Blood Magic. Idol - An illusory device capable of portraying horrible images and voices into the minds of the gullible. Idols that mature are ST Signed and immobile. Sutra - A device that allows an Ascetic to permanently keep their FA and make an MA. Altar of Mending - A way to create Sutras and spread Obeisances. Egregore - A psychological creature birthed from a Sutra. Obeisance Explanation: Spoiler Obeisances are always obtained through interacting with other magics or transformative experiences, allowing them to be easy to obtain while forcing the character to grow and develop through their newfound curse. This will also mean that magics tasked with cursing or cleansing curses now have an incentive to perform their duties to manage the forces of good and evil within the world as Ascetics seek their own power and interface with other groups. Ascetics may serve as spies, proxy cult members, or foot soldiers within a religious war. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
