[✓] [Awaiting MAT Review] Electrical Evocation [Magic]

[Supremacy 3357]

Magic ready for review by the MAT.

Lightning does not affect your body, when it strikes you nothing will happen towards you besides some at rare cases 3rd degree burns, lightning only affects your insides, Organs, your heart with enough voltage shuts down, your lungs can burst, liver fails, all these things can occur, On a rare case lightning can do nothing towards you.

((Just elaborating on what you said because I happen to know this stuff fairly well))

This is dependent on the ampere(amount of electrons) and the voltage(speed at which electrons travel). For example a fast moving highly electron dense "bolt" will undoubtedly cause a fatal attack. However, little ampere and high speed will do nothing. (same is said for High ampere and little voltage). Lightning strikes potential for fatality are dependent on these factors, as well as the ohms(resistance) of what you are wearing.

And the reason there is little cases of burns(like you said) is because the passing current is so brief that it has little time to create a "thermal" burn.(If you hold the lightning strike for a long period of time, expect plenty of nasty burns) However, what causes the death is how the current affects the nervous system and muscular system (Some lightning strike survivors are unable to feel heat/cold, or anything at all...while electric current can also cause muscle spasms) Pain is unavoidable with electric charges. It "tears" apart your nervous system too much.

When cells are effected they will create large gaps in the cell membrane, which basically kills the cell. They can no longer properly retain water and it's organelles if it is severe enough. The skin or wherever it passes will be severely damage if plenty of fast moving electrons pass through. Expect internal bleeding. When it comes to complete organ shut down it's the fact that a massive magnetic field is created. This is what has potential to shut organs down.

Edit: And +1 for this. Love the idea...I was going to write this myself, but I have too much time restraints to write any decent and acceptable lore. Look forward to seeing this rped.

[Agent Miller 26]

I am impressed, you should become a lore master who may specialise in magical lore (or just a regular lore master)

[Polgrath 215]

Sweet baby geezus, it seems only yesterday you started your Telekinetic lore. Another excellent job, continue to add legit magic lore! I look forward to more bro, a solid +1 from me.

[Nekkore 641]

Wow I am impressed by your efforts and electric is my favourite I would like to see that around you have my full support +1. Well done man

A question: Will there be actual in-game teachers of this magic-form straight off the bat, or will players have to self-teach?

[Gladuos 857]

A question: Will there be actual in-game teachers of this magic-form straight off the bat, or will players have to self-teach?

From what I've seen of telekinesis (The other magic lore Kalenz has created), there would be people self-taught and anyone who could become well-versed enough in the subtype could choose to create a teacher application. :)

This isn't a RP specific thread, friend. :P

[Sentlit 108]

*with great sobs and tears staining his shirt, Sen looks up to the figures that stand before him. His face reddened and wet, he blubbers: "What do you mean this isn't an RP specific thread?" *Sen gets up and trudges away, weeping. You can barely make out a salty trail of tears marking where he has been.

((And good luck getting the lore accepted my the MAT))

[Mithradites 1161]

Being as I am both supremely bored and a natural nit-picker, I have taken the time to correct the grammar and spelling mistakes I have seen while reading through this! Words will be crossed out, and correction written in red! Just like an obstinate school teacher! Do enjoy!

Note:

This was written as an attempt to fix the large amounts numbers of questions about electrical evocation in magic Q&A, but no one being able to learn it due to the lack of lore. Personally, I do not intend to learn it with one of my characters at this time. Same asAs the last time I suggested lore, if the magic team would put of off reviewing this, I would be happy. Temporary feedback from anyone (including the MAT) is highly sought after, however final verdicts are requested to be waited upon. Additionally, this was based of off the telekinetic lore template, so pointing out any parts where I forgot to delete a telekinetic section or word is very helpful. I was also unsure which words to use when regarding a spark/bolt/current so that may cause confusion. make Make a suggestion if you are confused. Also note the final sections are still under construction.

Electrical Evocation

((DeepChrome, Devianart))

Introduction: Electrical Evocation is the arcane magic form whereby a mage creates electrical bolts for his or her purposes. Unlike other types of evocation, electrical bolts is are intended to be much more difficult to control due to its their high-speed and high-energy nature. Mages who specialize in electrical evocation will be able to form electrical bolts and streams of electricity to electrocute their targets. However, electrical evocation requires much more energy than, for example, fire and therefore a single electrical bolt requires much more energy than a fireball, but can be more powerful. This magic is intended to add a form of electrical manipulation which has many times been enquired about in magic Q&A, however it was never recorded although it was never recorded.

The use of electrical Evocation:

A An electrical evocationist creates their electrical electricity by creating a charge between their source point and their target location. A small amount of electrical electricity requires a great amount of energy and the further the electrical electricity or electrical charge is from the mage, the more difficult the creation of the electrical electricity will become. For example, a novice evocationist of a mere 6 weeks may only just be able to create an electrical current which may jump the width of his/her outstretched hands.

Electrical evocation always will result in a fast moving product. In no way can a electrical evocationist form an 'electrical orb' as a fire evocationist may form a 'fireball'. As a general rule electrical evocation takes longer than other types of evocation but is capable of producing a more powerful result. A fire evocationist for example may be able to create and throw multiple (2+) fireballs in the time a an electrical evocationist of a similar level can create a single electrical bolt. This electrical bolt however would be slightly more powerful than those two fireballs combined.

It is assumed that an electrical mage will be more vulnerable to an instantaneous attack. However, if a situation is to occur where they are allowed enough time to build up and cast their spell (For example, an extended stand-off) they will be more powerful than if surprised.

When it comes to the difficulty of creating an electrical bolt there are a few factors which influence the difficulty:

• Distance between two points
• Number of electrical points at once
• Distance from mage
• Power of bolt

Distance between two points:

Quitte Quite obviously the longer a bolt of electricity, the more difficult it will be to create. As an evocationist becomes more and more proficient at evocation they will be able to create electrical currents which jump greater distances.

However, those who are not adept at electrical evocation are almost incapable of generating a current which jumps between themselves and another object. It becomes much more difficult to have a current jump between two points which are non self outside themselves, than between two points on the mage's person, such as between their hands.

This therefore limits those who are not yet adept to be unable to create electrical bolts, just as fire evolutionists evocationists are unable to create fireballs until they are adept.

Number of Electrical Points at Once:

Just as a telekinetic's ability to weight decreases exponentially when more than one object is lifted (Not sure what you mean here) so does the power of an evocatoinist evocationist when creating more than one electrical bolt at once.

Creating one electrical bolt or even a small spark is already difficult and the creation of increasing numbers of such cause the power to decrease with each new spark/bolt.

((Kirlian Photography))

Distance from Mage:

As the intended origin and target point grow in distance from the mage the power of the bolt will become less and less decrease significantly. This power however is constant up until 15m. After such a distance power decreases linearly.

Additionally some things are altogether impossible or incredibly difficult to manipulate:

Strengths:

• An electrical evocationist is capable of producing powerful electrical bolts
• Bolts may travel from any point to point with speed and reliable accuracy.

Weaknesses:

• Electrical evocation takes a greater amount of time to produce a bolt than other types of evocation
  
  
• Electrical evocation is dangerous to learn and during some phases of learning the mage can be incapable of producing any spark which will not injure themselves.
  
  The requirements:
  
  
• Requires a MA for Electrical Evocation
• Requires intellect to be able to learn magic (just as normal mages do).
• Two experiments involving electricity or static electricity must be attached and explained in the bio section of the application if applying with lore or for OOC learning. If the student has a teacher they must only provide one. Alternatively scientific books must be read on the topic (Proven to exist) and understood through multiple readings.

Progression over time:

Electrical Evocation will take a similar amount of time to learn as all other Arcane Magic types. I have broken down the progression into a rough order so that it may be known.

Add an average of 2-3 weeks if self taught or 1.5-2 weeks if it is ones it's a player's (Not a necessary change, but I feel it's less clunky) second type of Arcane magic or if extensive research has been done into in regards to lightning or electricity by the character (Must be their own research and not read). No weeks are added if the student has a teacher.

• First Stage Novice Evocationist Little sparks at all are possible. (This seems to contradict the next stage. Consider revising) (0-2 weeks) [1/10]
  
  
• Second Stage Novice Evocationist: Sparks can begin to be produced. These sparks can barely deliver any charge and completely drain the mage(2-4 weeks)
  
  
• Third Stage Novice Evocationist 1/3: Capable of creating small sparks and able to lightly shock anything on touch. Up to 5 sparks can be produced. After 15 sparks in a short time the mage will feel very drained. (4 weeks)
  
  
• Third Stage Novice Evocationist 2/3: Capable of creating small sparks able to lightly shock anything on touch. Up to 10 sparks can be produced. After 30 sparks in a short time the mage will feel very drained. Mage begins to practice creating sparks between two objects at a distance with great difficulty and often fails. (4-5 weeks)
  
  
• Beginner Impotent Phase: As the evocationist's power grows he/she becomes incapable of controlling the electrical power they are capable of producing at this point. At this point most, if not all electrical evocation attempted to be done will be overdone and shock the user as they adapt to their increasing abilities. (One day period after 5 weeks) [Essentially incapable of electrical evocation]
  
  
• Third Stage Novice Evocationist 3/3: Capable of creating medium sparks and able to shock anything upon touch or within 15 centimeters. Small bolts can be produced jumping between two points on the evocationist. After 10 small bolts or 50 sparks the evocationist will feel drained. Mage can create small sparks between two objects at a distance.(5-6 weeks) [4/10]
  
  
  ((Yuzchris, Devianart))
  
  
• Evocationist: Capable of creating electrical bolts which on touch is capable of inducing medium shock and small burns. Able to do this within 30 centimeters. Small bolts can be easily produced which jump between two points at a distance.(6-7 weeks) [5/10]
  
  
• Impotent Phase: As the evocationist's power grows he/she becomes incapable of controlling the electrical power they are capable of producing at this point. At this point most, if not all electrical evocation attempted to be done will be overdone and shock the user as they adapt to their increasing abilities. (7-9 weeks) [Essentially incapable of electrical evocation]
  
  
• Adept Evocationist: Capable of creating electrical bolts which is capable of inducing induce medium shocks. Able to do this within 35 centimeters. Medium bolts can be produced which jump between two points at a distance. electrical bolts are essentially as powerful but take longer to produce than fireballs at this point. Electrical bolts may be called down from above to produce a lightning like strike with low reliability.(9 -12 weeks) [6/10]
  
  
• Highly Adept Evocationist: electrical bolts are more powerful than equivalent fireballs but still take longer to produce (Essentially equal at this phase. Two fireballs could be produced in the same time it would take to make one bolt of equal power) . Medium bolts can easily jump between two points at a distance. Electrical bolts may be called down from above to produce a lightning like strike with medium reliability.(12-18 weeks) [8/10]
  
  
• Secondary Impotent Phase: As the evocationist's power grows he/she becomes incapable of controlling the electrical power they are capable of producing at this point. At this point most, if not all electrical evocation attempted to be done will be overdone and shock the user as they adapt to their increasing abilities. Recovery time is more rapid this time as the electrical evocationist becomes more used to adapting to greater levels.(18-19 weeks) [Essentially incapable of electrical evocation]
  
  
• Masterful Evocationist: Capable of creating medium-large electrical bolts and capable of inducing a slightly more powerful effect than a fire evocationist of the same abilities, however they take more time to produce. Large bolts can easily jump between two points at a distance. Electrical bolts are more powerful than equivalent fireballs but still take longer to produce (Essentially equal at this phase. Two fireballs could be produced in the same time it would take to make one bolt of equal power) Electrical bolts may be called down from above to produce a lightning-like strike with high reliability.(19-24 weeks) [9/10]
  
  
• Grand Master Evocationist: Capable of creating very large electrical bolts capable of inducing a slightly more powerful effect than a fire evocationist of the same abilities, however they take more time to produce. Large bolts can easily jump between two points at a distance. Electrical bolts are more powerful than equivalent fireballs but still take longer to produce (Essentially equal at this phase. Two fireballs could be produced in the same time it would take to make one bolt of equal power) Electrical bolts may be called down from above to produce a lightning strike with very high reliability. [24+ weeks]Note: Electrical evocationists are expected to continue to randomly suffer 'Impotent stages' for a few days every few weeks. 3 days a month would be a reasonable suggestion.

Side notes:

• Electrical bolts are attracted to large amounts of iron or gold. If more than 3 blocks are arranged in continuous line, all electrical shocks within 15m will be attracted to them instead of the intended target.
  
  
• Electrical bolts can not be projected through metal bars as they are attracted to the bars and unable to pass through.

RP Example Situations:

Electrical Evocationist Highly Adept Bolt [7/10]:

Jennifer stands attempting to shock a wooden block but her shock is redirected by a near by nearby anvil. Jennifer stands and her hands outstretch in front of her. Her eyes fix on her target - The wooden block. Static slowly begins building. Small sparks begin to appear inches from her hands, heat can be felt from her hands. Suddenly the electrical tension builds and a bolt is sent outwards it rips through the air but suddenly turns. The bolt buries itself into the anvil, small blue sparks can be seen flickering from it for a few moments and then nothing.

Electrical Evocationist vs. Bandit [8/10]:

Aelys walks down a dark alley in Crestfall, the sounds of birds have all but died down for the night. The occasional bat screech is heard, it breaks the silence of the night. Aelys's footprints can be heard on the gravel. Jonathan's footprints quietly shift the gravel a few infront(?) back, he stands in wait. Aelys pauses for a moment but continues walking. Suddenly Jonathan jumps out, dagger in hand he and slowly walks towards Aelys. Aelys screms screams in terror but none are roused in the dead of the night. "Wh-what do you want." She sammers stammers. Jonathan laughs, taking a few steps forward. Aelys glares at Jonathen, her eyes fixing on her target. Small sparks begin to appear in her hands, heat can be felt from her hands. Jonathan sees these sparks and immediately springs into action. His dagger is sent towards her. Aelys stumbles backwards; the cool metal of the dagger biting her flesh. Her focus entirely broken, Aelys's vision blurs to blackness as the blood drains from her body.

Electrical Evocationist Surprise [4/10]:

Albus walks into Oren, the cool night air biting his skin. Albus shivers for a moment before continuing on his way. Winding through the streets, eventually AlbusAlbus eventually finds his way to the palace, the stone walls rise high above the low ground. Guard_Gerome has fallen asleep at his post, his bow at his side. Albus walks up behind him, his hands extended out, hovering inches over the guard's clothing. Albus calms his mind, his eyes fixed upon the spot he intends to shock. Albus envisions the charge building, fibers on Gerome's clothing lift slightly as it builds. Suddenly a bright light flashes from Albus's hands, electricity jumps towards Gerome as the medium intensity shock rips its way through his body. Gerome stands suddenly awoken by the shock. Albus mutters "Not... Strong enough" and turns to a run. Gerome looks about dazed as Albus gets away. "Fecker" he swears as he sees a flicks flicker of Albus's cloak as he turns the corner.

Inept Stage #1:

Lucion stands within Haelun'or, a small frustrating goblin stands infront of him. Lucion's face twists in disgust at the appearance of the small creature infront in front of his home. "Go... away" he commands. More than a hint of disdain in his voice. The goblin simply sits there reading a stolen book, eyeing Lucion. Lucion sighs and takes out a small stick and to prods the goblin. "Shoo creature... Over the gate with you". The goblin still sits there; his gaze barely moves from the book. "Yo-You took a book from the college!" Lucion's gaze turns to one of horror as he looks upon the goblin. "Put it back at once" He almost shrieks. The goblin continues reading, he can be heard sounding out words barely aware of Lucion's presence. Lucion sighs and then says "Very well... I shall just have to smite you... Creature." Lucion stands and outstretches his hands. Lucion's eyes fix on his target - The goblin block(?). Static slowly begins building. Small sparks begin to appear in his hands. Lucion prepares to send the electrical bolt towards the goblin but as he does so he feels a shock of pain. The bolt rips through his body his legs give way and he topples to the ground. A light thud can be heard from across Haelun'or. The goblin simply stands and sits upon the now knocked out Lucion. "Pillow" he mutters.

New Student Practice (Fail) [First 1-3 weeks]:

Ashton focuses his mind. His eyes fix infront of him. Ashton's hand trembles at his side as he envisions sparks. Ashton glares infront of him. Nothing happens. He sighs and then stops for a moment, glancing up at the roof of his home. He sits again, glancing at the floor infront of him. He breaths breathes in and out slowly, his hand outstretched slightly. He exhales slightly and suddenly he can feel a small charge. The small charge can be felt building by Ashton. (Not really needed) It suddenly disappears. He sighs and mutters "Soon". He lies back, having failed again.

New Student Practice (Successes) [First 2-4 weeks]:

Ashton focuses his mind. His eyes fix infront in front ("infront" isn't a single word, you! ;) ) of him. Ashton's hand trembles at his side as he envisions sparks. Ashton glares infront of him. Nothing happens. Suddenly a charge can be felt by Ashton in his hand. It grows until suddenly a bright spark is seen; it jumps from one part of his hand to the other. Aston suddenly falls back in exhaustion. He barely realizes what he had done.

Grandmaster Halfling vs. Orc:

Averroa looks up to the massive orc infront of him her. The cool winter makes water condense as the orc exhales blowing in her face. Averroa coughs and steps back slightly. "H-hello... would you... erm... mind backin' aways a bit, aye?" She says politely. The Orc lumbers forward "Lunch," he mutters. Averroa scrambles back, her eyes fix on the orc. "N-now n-now... No need t' get all angry..." she stutters. Aveorra outstretches her hands. "Nub," the orc replies in a monotone fashion.Averroa focuses, a charge slowly begins building. She lies "Err... I-I'm good friends with ye R-Rex! He'll be righ' awful upse' if you g-g-gobbled up his good f-friend A-Averroa..." The orc pauses for a moment in thought. Aveorra takes this moment, refocusing on the charge and building it more. "Yu nub rendz!" He mutters "Me flat latz!" Averroa's sparks slowly emerge, they flash, dancing inches infront of her hands as the charge continues to build. "Wait! Just a... moment..." The Orc stands stupidly in amazement, unsure of what is about to occur. Suddenly, a bright flash shoots from Averroa running straight into the orc. The electrical bolt strikes and the orc stumbles back and falls to the ground; a slight smell of burnt flesh quickly rises into the air. Averroa's mind reels for a moment as she recovers from the strike. The orc lies on the ground, barely conscious. "You nasty brute; goin' 'round bullyin' poor l'il 'arflin's! I 'ope you 'ave 'orrid dreams! About rotten cabbages, or somethin'!" she mutters before walking away.
