[Amendment] Artificer (Obelisk Lore)

[Animael 1500]

Lore Link: Void Obelisk (

CURRENTLY:

Redlines

- The creation of an obelisk requires TWO TIER 5 voidal magi at the very least for baseline minimum stats of 3 meters in height with a 5m effective radius. Every additional tier 5 mage partaking in creation raises the minimum height by 2m and increases the effective radius by 5m.

 

CHANGED TO

Redlines

- The creation of an obelisk requires TWO TIER 5 voidal magi (Or ONE TIER 5 Artificer) at the very least for baseline minimum stats of 3 meters in height with a 5m effective radius. Every additional tier 5 mage partaking in creation raises the minimum height by 2m and increases the effective radius by 5m.

- An Artificer, when creating an obelisk alone, can only do so to a maximum of 1 per OOC day.

- An Artificer does not count as an additional TIER 5 voidal mage when in a group ritual for obelisk creation.

 

Spoiler

Reasoning:
Artificers create things. An obelisk is something created. Now they can make a tiny obelisk to power their enchantments and create cool things for their students and others to interact with. Creating an Obelisk with a group of mages is not fun RP. It's not engaging, and everyone just winds up annoyed because they're all drained of mana for the whole day and it sucks. Artificers are forced to be kind by LORE! Why would they force poor innocent antisocial mages to do something they hate doing?? Yes this is a legitimate reason, 100%.

 

How does it work? 

The Artificer is more adept than others at creating magical items and utilising Enchantments and obelisks per it's Creation skill. As such they know how to more efficiently funnel their mana into the initial stages of obelisk creation and how to jump start the process without a second T5 mage.

Potential Variation:
- An Artificer, when creating an obelisk alone, can only do so to a maximum of 1 per OOC week.

makes sense to me!!!! an actual genuine benefit to artificers that isnt ridiculously situational.

[ClassyDryad 2368]

Artificers certainly need more going for them in their niche, so I agree with this

[StingyParrot 1616]

and you get an obelisk and you get an obelisk and you get an obelisk 

 

the creation of an obelisk requires two T5 mage's worth of mana, not two T5 mages worth of friendship

All the rite is is just channelling energy into the big crystal 

this would honestly fit vstalking better given they have increased mana

[Animael 1500]

Voidstalkers don't need buffs. Artificers are good at crafting, so they make more efficient arcani-wotsit obelisks. Yes yes. Shhh, go to sleep.

[Nestro_Miner 589]

artificers are cool

[Animael 1500]

Wow, guess I'm moving his Arcanium up the list...

[ClassyDryad 2368]

@StingyParrotI would agree it makes more sense lore wise, but as a voidstalker megafan myself I personally think people need to stop touching that feat because it's already overloaded and is suffering from being over amended. It just needs to be left alone 😔

should be one ooc week for artificer. Straight up hammer obelisks every day is kinda crazy no funny.

[Animael 1500]

That's fine too chief! I'm not fussed on the coolddown!

Agree with this one. Imagine though, 3 artificers living in a city managing to pump out 20 obelisks in their settlement in a week.

[Animael 1500]

@MrSythOne per week is fine lmao. But lets be real, there's like 3 artificers ON THE CONTINENT.

That being said, if they could do that then they could spend the rest of their time doing actually fun and enjoyable experiment/invention/creation/social RP, instead of spending ages trying to gather people for a ritual everyone hates.

Even Hohkmat, a city entirely made for mages, only had like 1 or 2 Obelisks. Because it's such a pain in the ass to make them.

Hohkmat had 10 obelisks, I was literally the guy in charge of scheduling the rituals. But I do agree doing the rituals, esp that often, isn't exactly fun RP. I was just meming with the 3 artificer thing btw. 1 per week is for sure fine
