[Ammendment] Arcanium Jing

[MsLinni 828]

Lore Change in BOLD:

Jing Artificery [T5]

 

At the pinnacle of the craft of Life Evocation, there exists an art, long-pondered by the masters of the magic. They thought deeply of the unification of faux-life and that real life of their own, and how their creations could be made part of themselves. The solution found is called Jing- enchantments which permit evoked life to be bound to the self in various ways.

 

Mechanics:

-Jing are physical, mechanical items taking the shape of jewelry, consisting of plant and animal parts.

-Jing may also be crafted using ONLY conjuration Arcanium of either kind; however it's structure is weakened to be as durable as bone or leather (depending if it is rigid or flexible). 

-The personal nature of Jing forging causes the Arcanium used in it's creation to be impossible to reuse. 
-Jing are purposeless until enchanted with one of the Jing Artificery spells. Once enchanted, they must be ST-signed.
-The creation and enchantment process of Jings are a long, freeform process of self-realization and consideration of the mage’s craft. These items are considered at the pinnacle of their magic and Voidal magic in general, and so creation should include significant periods of meditation and reflection and not include less than five detailed emotes for a permanent item.
-All Jing spells can be self-taught at T5, requiring no extra tier progression or time

OOC Purpose
This amendment's goal is to allows for deeper personality in the appearances of Jing, while still maintaining the same durabilty limitations as before.

**** it why not. I think it'd be fair to let the arcanium be stronger tho - as a slight buff since its more effort to make arcanium

Generally a nice amendment but there’s no reason it has to specifically be conjuration arcanium. Arcanium is Arcanium: the form it presents in has no mechanical effect.

It being any kind of arcanium would make it like any other enchantment so I feel that somewhat messes the aesthetic point of Jing, IDK.

Edit: Alright I will change that.

I believe arcanium already serves enough function voidally. Jing has a unique aesthetics as well and allowing for arcanium to be used in the creation of jing totally invalidates the cool nature of what jing is and stands for while also separating it from just being the equivalent of any other enchantment.

 

I'd love to +1 this but I do think it would mess with jing and the aesthetics of life evocation to the point where jing feels like enchantment 2.0, so a -1 for me

 

would like to say this is well formatted tho so nj!

This was my thought exactly, im changing it back so it ONLY works with conjuration Arcanium.
