Pallodium 480 Share Posted April 17 New Enrapturement Spell: Ascent [2 Emotes: 1 connect + 1 cast] (Non-combative) Description By channeling their inner flame to amplify the strength of their wings, a Nephilim can- with immense focus- augment their wings with further blazing strength to launch themselves upwards through the air- and to crash down into another location, emerging from a cloud of embers and smoke. The exact aesthetics of their flight and landing vary greatly; be it from wings enraptured by sweeping flame to take off, or plumes of smoky haze that erupt when the Nephilim returns back to the ground. Spoiler Over the course of two emotes, the Nephilim may draw upon their inner flame to temporarily aquire the properties of a surging ascent. Over one emote, they may stretch out their tattered wings, amplified by flame or birth forth a temporary pair of fiery wings- which they may successively use to propel themselves upwards with immense speed. Over the second emote as they ascend, a fiery burst of aesthetic flame enwreathes them, a burst of flaming light across the sky as they fly to their destination. Likewise- in a meteor-esque descent, they surge downwards like a comet, impacting downwards in a burst of aesthetic flames, soot, and ember. In essence, Ascent permits them to transport themselves from one location to another. - Ascent requires [2] emotes to cast, one of taking off, and one of landing. - This spell is purely an aesthetic for soulstoning. Thus, all soulstoning rules apply. - Cannot be used during combat or to enter combat in attempts to fly/crash whatsoever. - The smoldering impact from crashing is purely aesthetic- the soot-ridden crater in its wake is in no means a way to vandalize, the ash whisking itself away over time. - Cannot be used to get to places you cannot mechanically. - Upon ET jurisdiction during events, this may be used to limited combative or non-combative success in events if they approve of its use. If used in this way, it consumes [2] Dragonsflame Units Reasoning: Spoiler Nephilim is a very interesting CA with numerous aspects of it that are quite different from others- leading to a unique style of RP and CRP. However, one of the biggest flaws is its immense lack of non-combative spells; this addition attempts to be the first step to fix that. Similarly to other MAs/CAs like Naztherak, which have a unique aesthetic to soulstoning, this serves as a unique way for Nephilim to transport around that fits well with their CA. Nephilim already have ways to get tattered wings they can use outside of combat to a limited extent, and full wings via bigmode; this is a lore-fitting way for them to fly about by utilizing their flame noncombatively with a minute cost of [1] Dragonsflame Unit. Changelog: - Specified cost for using within Events via ET permission, and replaced cost within the base spell if used aesthetically. 26 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeawithFrisket 2650 Share Posted April 17 Actually this is really cool especially since we had an event where Azdrazi Npc ODST/Hellpod dropped on me and my beautiful dome of light Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigorous 1566 Share Posted April 17 I like the idea and with new Azdrazi lore, it works. But I think that Ascent should allow for variation in transportation for the land-bound Azdrazi who do not have wings. For instance, they can utilize the power of their Drakeshrine to transport themselves in a manner that is consistent with their Soul Stone mechanic instead of wings. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct; as written in the text description for the spell, it states an alternate method if they do not have permanent tattered wings: 28 minutes ago, Pallodium said: or birth forth a temporary pair of fiery wings 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that could be cool too. Otherwise, think it's dope, in agreement with it. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

exogens 934 Share Posted April 17 Pretty neat addition, my only comment is if it’s just a SS thingy, it should be passive, unless used for events, which I’m fine with the 1 dragonsflame point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, think it's dope, in agreement with it. I agree with this, the lore should ensure there's enough flexibility for every azdrazi to have a bit of control over their personal aesthetic. Personally I just rp using my soul stone tho :3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
