[Amendment] Blood Magic

Ensorcell Material Old

Spoiler

This ritual is conducted on objects and items where they are granted additional properties embodying the element used. This ritual requires a comparatively simple circle composed of the rune of mortality - providing the bond between the planar realm and the element - large enough to fit the following elemental rune within its upper right crescent. The item to be ensorcelled is then placed atop the elemental rune, the circle is activated by the blood mage placing an open wound against its outer edge, and blood mage rolls out of 20 to determine success if necessary.

Red Lines:
-This ritual cannot be used to mass produce enchantments; a blood mage may create 2 objects per day (with any amount of allowed effects as listed with repeated uses of the ritual) with a maximum of 4 objects in 2 OOC weeks; for example, a blood mage can create 2 objects one day, 2 the next day, and then are unable to for 2 IRL weeks following the first ritual. If the ST deem a blood mage to be overproducing enchantments they may be denied signage and warned and if disregarded possibly punished as seen fit by management. For example reaching the 4 items per 2 weeks limit for multiple months in a row may signal overproduction to staff.
-Ensorcellments require ST approval.
-Ensorcelled objects may have only 1 mechanical effect and up to 2 aesthetic effects. But multiple runes may be applied in one application; You can apply an earth rune for effect and two other aesthetic runes in one ritual for no additional genus.
-Should ensorcelling be performed on arrows or other ammunition then the effect can be applied to a maximum of 10 pieces.
-The "circle" in this ritual is the Rune of Mortality itself; To conduct this ritual with BOTH a Rune of Mortality AND a circle of blood will result in certain failure.

The item to be ensorcelled is then placed atop the elemental rune, the circle is activated by the blood mage placing an open wound against its outer edge, and blood mage rolls out of 20 to determine success if necessary.

-The circle is first done by the drawing of a circle in fresh blood, then the rune of mortality along with the elemental runes inscribed inside the circle.

 

 

The runes aren't meant to be able to invoke power on their own, they are apart of an equation. The circle is fundamental to the metaphysics, its magical. Every other blood magic rite include the drawing of a circle with the runes inside. The wording composed was ambiguous which is what I believe led to the issues, but the emote count further down defines the emotes by first drawing the circle and then drawing the runes inside it.

This change also didn't really make sense to me, and seemed entirely pointless, does it actually make that much of a difference IRP and OOCly, that there is a circle around the Rune in question? I feel like either way of doing ensorcell material is fine and allows people to try and flavour their RP however they see fit without it being disruptive in any form.

The very first basic spell (or the second if you teach them flesh, yeah) for the ritualistic aspect of blood magic being the only one that doesn't use a blood magic circle is also thematically awful. +1 to this, if you were going to change it it should have been at the most made more freeform.
