Ever 2648 Share Posted October 9, 2012 1. How does their reviving/healing work? A detached limb or a broken bone is a much different story than a person having their body melted in a pool of lava. How do the bodies appear in the Cloud Temple from say somewhere far out, in the wilds? 2. It seems that not all monks are powerful, and that some don't even have the ability to heal. How magically potent is the average monk? 3. What happens when a monk dies? 4. Are there any workarounds to the anti-aggression spell? Not asking for one, just wondering if one exists. 5. Is there a chance of someone not 'coming back' whole? I.E.: Missing a limb, mentally damaged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappy 1599 Share Posted October 9, 2012 1. http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/63613-the-wilven-sanctuary-monks/ Healing Monk magic is done via the Triumvirate always. If one does not believe in the Triumvirate, one cannot heal via those means. Prayer is the easiest and most common way to invoke the magic, and is usually done by praising the three entities, then asking for their assistance. There are other means, however, but they require more energy. A chant of the three names in succession would require twice as much energy, but less thought. The most difficult form, a silent evocation, is done mentally be focusing one’s will power upon the Triumvirate and directing their energy into the target, which would require ten-times as much energy as a casual prayer. The healing energy shows up in the form of sparks and glows the color of the Triumvirate the caster is dedicated to. Ressurection An obscure branch of magic, monk resurrection is passively occurring within the Sanctuary to revive many who have met their end. When a monk has achieved the ability to invoke healing without voice, they begin to notice the ebb and flow of the souls around the Temple, and can revive one of them if they see fit. Outside of the Temple, it is much harder, requiring vast amounts of strength and energy. It is done via a prayer, as with monk healing, and can be done in the degrees of monk healing, with a similar amount of difficulty in comparison to the base requirement for resurrection. 2. Monks must learn to heal and revive, it is not something that they instantly know as soon as they become a monk. It requires much practice, willpower and faith to master. 3. Another monk would revive them, just like everybody else. 4. I don't believe there's actually an approved non-aggression charm on the area, although I'd like to see something along those lines implemented. Edit: (Since I didn't see it the first time) 5. No, since permanent damage cannot be forced onto another character. But if both players agree to it, I don't see why not. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cappy 1599 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Thats not really cannon lore. It is accepted and implemented. Before I begin, just a few things, Native already said the base idea was fine, I just wanted to share it with everyone to leave it open for suggestions. I believe this to be 'pre-accepted' Lore, the fact that it is written now is very thanked. Implemented. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blundermore 2741 Share Posted October 9, 2012 4. Are there any workarounds to the anti-aggression spell? Not asking for one, just wondering if one exists. Like most spells that affect the preception of the mind, it is will power that affects if you can break it or not. The will power of the victim and the caster will be measured against each other as the caster tries to break the will of the victim to do what he/she wishes. Although without proper info on the occurance of the aura around the temple, I.e. how it is made, who sustains it etc it is difficult to accurately determine if you can even fight back against it. If the power is supplied by a deity(s) like anguels and daemons then mortals have no hope of fighting back against it really. Whilst if it was sustained by the monks, then it would require equal or greater willpower than the monks involved combined to "walk around". The lore of the aura should be specified, whether or not it even is magic and what sustains it. Once such a lore is accepted and implimented (if not already because I haven't seen any accepted lore yet on it) then I can tell you if there is any chance to have a "walk around" or not. For now it is all up in the air. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Lud 1260 Share Posted October 9, 2012 One reasoning for the occasional loss of limbs or permanent scarring that players choose to undergo could be that they were resurrected by a less-experienced monk while the others were busy tending to more important matters. I would like to see more official lore on the aura. If we are to have our role-play restricted as a result of it, we should have a better understanding of how it works and what its limitations are.

Sultan 3953 Share Posted October 9, 2012 It is accepted and implemented. But also we see from his comment ''base idea was fine'' not the details. Ya not really, because it goes against cannon lore so its not part of it. In the first sentence it can be seen that it is not even cannon with the phrase. ''Monk magic is done via the Triumvirate always'' The so called Triumvirate only existed in Aulson. Monks of Aegies had no such thing, they were Cloud Monks.

Monks of Aegies had no such thing, they were Cloud Monks. Then I suggest it is altered to say 'The magic of the Wilven Sanctuary Monks is always done through the triumvirate.' As it is speaking of those monks in the rest of the lore, just needs some clarification in that phrase. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
