Magic Canon Part I:

[firespirit44 1279]

Just interested in knowing how Availer and Slayer fit in this. I know someone who wrote the lore for teleportation apparently that was approved. Should she send it to you?

[Blundermore 2733]

I did go through the ideas and lore section searching for magic related topics but I fear that I haven't managed to get all of them. It would be best to send us a link to the respective lores.

((Urgh, damn phones.))

Created and mated can be taken into the same context really depending apon opinion, also technically in lore, ancient lore I might add, the creator created the first two when creating our world, who had four sons. That means to that our creation is out of magic which means that we all possess the ability to learn magic. What defines who can, and who cannot learn magic is enviromental occurances that change our mindset and being after birth.

So really, the lore behind the ironguts adds more depth to the clan, but is not necessary to their ability of learning magic.

Agreed, and as we all know, Stories passed down from generation to generation before the time of written word tend to splinter from the truth. They are still meaningful, but should not be taken as whole truth. I think that we shall find many of these such lores, some we will come to conclude are based on truth, others we will have to disregard altogether for the sake of the server. Far to long as lore be written without proper thought of its consequences, I hope this will be a step toward righting that.

Edit:

My character uses magic to foretell the past, which is the opposite of her mother and teacher who used it to foretell the future. How does this magic fit into the current plans, and How shall it be screened. I take great care and pride in making predictions, and re-witnessing past events and places. I know of several others that have also been known to use these abilities, the Prophet for one that is in many documented books of lore.

Second Edit: I have noticed in all your post where you use the word "Canon" is a link to a ebay website.... is this intentional and if so what is its meaning?

[Blundermore 2733]

Canon is an automated hyper link. Like Harry potter. It Is the forum's doing, not ours.

[domainoft 191]

Alright, that is what I figured. Why are we using "that" word is what im curious about? Could we use Cannon, or some other word..... links to places I don't want to go bug me..... :) Thank you and peace and good will and all that.

Well here is my bit that contributed to the Mages Guild Lore.[referencing firespirit's post]

The Planes of Delphian(Arcane)(AKA Void).

Sighing, I was going through all my belongings that I took before I fled Aegis onboard the Alras galley. It was a meagre pile, laid out before the island Ogland sent me to find. He said Arcane picked the island, and thought it was a good place to build the tower. So far construction has not even begun. My belongings; A few books, a quill and ink bottle, some bread to stave off hunger on the trip.

Squatting on the grass, I touched the covers for each tome, reminiscing stories meant for those who'd dare pry open their covers. I picked up a particular tome.

It was old, but I could make out it used to be a brightly red colour tome, that has faded away over time. I notice this was the book I found in the Mages Tower, in a Mage's quarter by the name of Bell.

I just found this tome a day before we were attacked by Iblees, and forced into the Verge. Everyone was busy building ships and carting supplies, so I pushed my curiosity to the recess of my mind and busied myself gathering logs for the shipwright.

Flipping open the pages, the first thing i was greeted by was dust. Blinking rapidly, I made out the glyphs, and found the faded words "The Origins of Magic". The tome to be bound by sheepskin, high quality writing material. Whatever that was recorded here, was done in efforts to preserve the tome for the future.

In a spidery writing, I read with amazement and recalling the time Arcane explained his existence to me and Ogland in the Galahar Mages Tower.

In my mind, I hear Arcane's deep voice, filling the room with every syllable when he spoke, such power he held when he still existed.

"Before the begining of time, before the creation of aegis, there was only void.

Where one could exist as thought, not as energy or spacial being, only as thought. It was from this that the world was created, it is not for me to say by whom or what. We will just be content with the fact that it was. so the world was created.

We are not concerning ourselves with any of this though, that was just some important background. Simply put it is the void which i use to travel. Though the void which exists, in what way it sits for it is impossible to describe it to you, I can travel as thought.

I disassemble myself from this physical world and become a thought in the void, then i reassemble myself where i wish to be. It is dangerous process and I have sometimes been stuck between thought and physical...not a nice experience i have to say.

But I will warn you now, you cannot enter the void, you cannot travel through thought. you are physical beings, always have been and you would be lost if you tried. It is possible for me to transport other through it, but you would not remember any of it as you do not actually pass through it."

Exiting my memory, I turn to read that the tome described more or less the same story. I contemplated and mused that in the end, Arcane was supposedly a Aengul, but then again it could have been just a rumour. What could be the difference in theory that say another powerful Mage could do the same thing as Arcane did, and dissassemble himself as a thought? All spells originate as "thoughts" to begin with, the intent to attempt a "action", and the result is a change in the enviroment you are in. It is only a matter of power the vessel the body can hold in order to accomplish the spell.

Then it struck me. What if we tried to dissassemble ourselves? How could we attempt to reform in the Void, and then from there, another location on Asulon? It would essentially be spells of creating and destroying, but linked in a fashion so you are created as you are destroyed. Does the newly created person on the other side of Asulon still "me"? It could be a entirely new person altogether that retains my looks and memory.

Then I take another look at the problem, the Void itself. How do I make it so that there is a link between Asulon and the Void? There are no records of it, save the theory through ripped fabrics of reality, the spawns of Iblees that still reside in the Nether travel through it at night and terrorize the residents. Wait. Ripped fabrics of reality? I know a when a cataclysm of magic happens, a ripped is made into the fabric of reality. But what if we could force open the hole, large enough to link the Void FROM Asulon?

If that was the case, we would have a area to "recreate" ourselves, and essentially, making traveling to the Void possible.

I recall, that Arcane once explained to me the existence of a giant magical map room that existed within the Mage Tower back in Aegis that regular Mages could use to teleport to various locations around Aegis. Was the process not the same? Assembling and Destroying oneself to relocate the body. But that could not have been using the void, or we would not have remembered it or possibly survived it.

Looking through my books I brought from the tower, I see that I scavenged arcane's journal when i was fleeing the tower.

"Warping to the node is dangerous at best... It is incredible I found it, at such a distance finding a node is extremely difficult..... I have never felt a node of this power .... feel the island not far away ... raging tempest upon ancient ground, ... The fields of magic around the tower are phenomenal...

I discovered many magical anomalies... were wells of magic... but at the same time were voids of it. ...they were drawing me to them...

At long last there I was, at the ruins of an ancient tower, magic positively humming in the area. The architecture of what was left was alien... Although it was an ancient tower it was very advanced, perhaps surpassing that of Aegis. So I began to reconstruct the tower..."

I stared hard at the words, and sentences that seem to strike my very brain, making me feel dizzy. The original tower had a node of power, and was summoned from the void. What if this node was connected to Aegis, and formed a Ley line, a network of magical channel of energies that exist within the earth that kept Aegis in existence? What if this form of Warping was by being channeled into the Ley Line? Our beings are disassembled to merge with the powers of the Ley Lines, only to be reformed at the desired destination. That is the only explaination to how Mages could have used this magical map room without killing themselves or losing their memories.

ANd what if, this very island we are standing on, is actually similiar to the one Arcane described? What if this very island was a giant node, connecting to the Ley lines

[This story was written should mages ever get some form of teleport/warp to the tower. It also allows more future events regarding the Ley lines to put in use, and also connects the magic lore slayer15855 wrote.]

[Salvalia Draamoon 11]

Ah, just to add a sidenotes to the story so the readers may understand for non/ after Aegis mages.

In Aegis, the mages tower had a map of the world, with [Warp] on the signs. Towards the end of the server it failed, but I think it was giving Mages the ability to tp.

The book, Origins of Magic, actually existed. It was a 1 to 1 account, Slayer/Arcane Mage made, and Tehlulu recorded.

Most of this can be found on the Mages Wiki page/ their guild page. Its always fun to try and connect the dots ^.^

[Hiebe 2475]

...This is an official post. The OP is canon. I am confused by what you mean exactly Hiebe? Are new players now unable to view the Lore forums? Do you now have to be a member of the forums for X amount of time before this forum becomes visible?

No im saying a lore post which is official. This reading just looks to be a short story. I would hope you all would expand on it and look more lore-ish as this seems bland an short.

I also thought this was just a "hey what you think" thread :)

[Blawharag 277]

Well I appreciate your opinion on the story and believe me I had much of the same thoughts when writing it. However it was left deliberately short and vague. We felt that becoming too detailed and specific would cause too many problems and was what we were trying to avoid in our Origin story. As a result the origin story contained only the necessary information and that was it. In this way, as few problems as possible will arise from the sudden induction of this new cannon.

So, despite the misconception, this is in fact an Official Lore Post by the M-Team, thus the sticky request. It is not a "Hey what do you think" thread, though we certainly appreciate any feedback such as that which Ouity provided and would love to hear good, meaty questions for the next Q&A.

So again, I would like a sticky for this official lore post before it becomes buried and people have to dig in order to have access to it. You can probably remove the sticky on "Plead about Magic Lore" at this point, seeing as how we have moved past the original point of that topic, though I would double check with Blundermore before doing that.

[Hiebe 2475]

Hmmm ok then I shall

[domainoft 191]

I can vouch that this story is indeed real, As my character has both a copy of this book in Asulon available on a shelf for any who wishes to read it, and a map of Asulon on the floor. Very well done you can view a nearly complete version in my Spoiler.

Hmm? Well, I can vouch for the stories legitimacy... because I am on the Magic Team and we wrote it as legitimate.

You character has a book of this lore in game? Might I see the text in that document? I was not aware there were books with this story in game, indeed I do not believe any of us among the Magic Team were aware that someone had written this all down IC.

[domainoft 191]

If you will come to the Temple of the Oracle, I will make you a copy of said book. It is a lesson and talks of Blundermore and Bell as a Student if memory serves me right, It does not however go into the detail of teleportation on a level that you did.

[Druid Jameson Tarus~ 119]

Hm hm.

You have peaked my interest, could I perhaps have a copy of said book over the forums perhaps as well? Or at least main out takes? There has only been two books about my character in game. And only one of them is slightly open to public eye.*looks at the Druids and their lack of care in keeping their library locked*. Are you sure your not mistaking me for someone else? Many mix me and ambros up all the time and I am constantly redirecting messages to a ambros from those who think I am him.
