Thank you for your response, I will see if I can rework the scribe spell or replace it entirely. As for the reason I kept it quite short. its because thats what i've seen be accepted recently, short additions with one or two spells. But I will see if I can add a bit more - Thank you once more for your feedback.

Thaumaturgy A Housemagery Addition. Spells Modify Voice - T3 [Non-Combative] A housemage may influence the volume and tone of their own voice, it booming across a valley or growing soft and floral. These number amongst other flavorful options that are up to the player. [Limited to #S range mechanically.] REDLINES Can not deafen or harm anyone with your voice Scribe’s Pen - T2 [Non-Combative] A housemage may pull mana from themselves, focusing it onto a writing implement within their hand to generate ink or charcoal for writing, directly within the reservoir or pencil. Used mostly by scribes and monastics for ease and speed of writing. REDLINES The ink or charcoal generated by the spell may not leave the reservoir of the pen or pencil other than by being deposited onto the page - you may NOT squirt ink onto someone. This spell must be taught by a tutor or learned from a book. [OOC REASONING] This is somewhat of a recycling and simplification of ideas from my justly denied lore piece. I thought that some things in it were still interesting ideas. This lore piece somewhat expands housemagery’s span, growing to include generals shouting orders to soldiers, or priests preaching mass to a group of peasants. I feel as though this is a good thing, though others may disagree. If this gets accepted, I request it gets edited into the main housemagery page for ease of access and viewage. Thanks for reading and looking it over - Titanium430.

This was a concern when I started writing the lore, but I thought this was thematically different enough to be its own thing.

We will see if it comes to pending :)

Thanks!, I appreciate the kind words

Feat Lore “The path to power is within… The mind.” PREFACE Long ago, tales speak of cloistered scholars and wisemen who believed in the power of words. Them hiding in grand monasteries at the peaks of mountains, and deep under the earth. This is the origin of Thaumaturgy, an art of bending reality to one’s will via words. Long since has the potency failed and been drained from the art, yet it persists amongst wandering hermits, monks, alchemists and preachers in this neutered form. Explanation The power of thought, one’s very will being able to change the material seems at first a strange concept, yet this is the source of Thaumturgy’s meagre power. Words and phrases can direct this will, focus it, amplify it to affect the material in a minor yet meaningful way. Long ago when the first wisemen studied this art, more people in the realm believed in these words, and the power they held. Yet no longer, in this new world, the faith in words has failed to all but aged philosophers and learned hermits. This has diminished the power of the arts, the collective thought and will no longer consider it legitimate, and it is left to draw upon those few who practice and believe. One must have true intent when speaking the words, lest their will and thought falter. One must truly believe for the power to take effect. The acts allowed by this will are albeit minor and insignificant, yet it brings hope for more. “Will that to be, and it will be.” Abilities/Spells MINOR THAUMATURGY [1 Emote] The staple ability of Thaumaturgists. The ability to manipulate and change reality on a minor level with the power of will and words. One may only manipulate things they can see, and are limited to doing so within a 5 block radius around them. This can come in many forms, but a few are listed below By whispering into a lit candle, the caster may snuff out its flame with the a word, such as “Darkness” The user may amplify their voice to booming levels, or simply have it travel throughout a room at a normal volume. This ability is often used by preachers and the like who need to speak to a large crowd. [Flavorful way of #shout] The Caster may for instance, call sunlight down through windows, it streaming down through clouds or other disturbances, this would be invoked with the the phrase “Let there be light!” or something similar. This is but a snippet of the power’s and minor tricks one is able to accomplish, but all must be minor, flavorful, and not used for harm. REDLINES 1: May not be used to harm another, and is limited to minor acts like those listed above. 2: The examples above are just that, examples. Other uses may be made at the player’s discretion, though they must follow all rules of the spell, that being that they must be minor, flavorful, and not used for harm. 3: The caster may not in any circumstances create something out of thin air. They may not light a candle aflame, merely set it out, they may not create light, but cause it to come through the windows from outside and so on and so forth. 4: One may only use minor thaumaturgy within a 5 block radius around one’s self, it requires direct line of sight to the object to be manipulated. WHISPERS OF THE WISEMAN [3 Emotes] By whispering to oneself twice over a short period of time, then whispering a final time directed towards a single target. The Thaumaturgist is able to project a maximum of 10 words to said target within 15 meters, then receiving the message as if it were whispered into their ear by the caster regardless of if they would understand the language of the Thaumaturgist. This requires intense concentration and direct line of sight, the caster not being able to react to others less they break the spell. If one were to be distracted in some way, such as being attacked or even simply touched, the spell would break and leave the caster in a daze for [1] Emote, their mind overloaded as they simply stand still for said duration, unable to act or move. REDLINES 1: This spell may NOT be used in combat or to even indirectly cause harm to another. 2: A limit of 10 words may be sent to the target of the spell. 3: A range of 15 meters is the limit of distance one may cast the spell. STRENGTHENED MIND [Passive] The mind of one who draws upon such power is strained, and like a man who works upon his body, this strengthens and fortifies it. Yet one who treads the boundary between the real and unreal risks falling into the mind, forever trapped within one’s own thoughts. The mind naturally fights this off however, with the side effect of occasional migraines and headaches. This strengthening gifts one the ability to focus almost super-naturally on tasks, multitasking comes easily to such a practitioner, and they might be over-perceptive, noticing things of unimportance regularly. This strengthening also serves to ward the mind against acts of intrusion, if one were to have their mind intruded upon by an outside source, the intruder may have a troubling time navigating and entering the thoughts of the Thaumaturgist. Examples of what a strengthened mind can do are things such as, reading two books at once, doing two mundane tasks, switching between the two rapidly and not getting confused or keeping track of two conversations at once. REDLINES: 1: Strengthened Mind is not an excuse to metagame any information, it is simply a flavorful way to focus and complete tasks or situations with high accuracy and or speed. 2: Any ways of accessing the mind of the Thaumaturgist will be met with restrictions, like that of winding tunnels and mazes. This does not mean that accessing the mind is impossible, just harder to accomplish. “The natural world holds far more than meets the eye.” Teaching There are two ‘tiers’ of Thaumaturgy, Lesser and Greater, once the student is taught the spells, how they work and how to do them, along with making the FA and having it accepted by the ST, they achieve lesser tier and they stay at that state for 12 OOC weeks, after such advancing to greater tier. Greater tier gives one the ability to teach others, at a rate of 3 students per every 3 OOC months. One of the greater tier may write a single ST signed self teach book instead of being able to teach students for those months if they wish, it having to have proper contents and the like. A Student who learns from a self teach book must have the book hoarded within their possession, and not given out to others for the duration of the 12 OOC weeks it takes to reach greater tier, after such they may give the book to another. Students who learn from a self-teaching book learn at the same rate as one taught normally, otherwise the process follows all current self-teaching rules. Compatibility Thaumaturgy has few requirements, that being of the ability of self-aware thought and understanding of the material world in some depth, and the ability to speak. A few other restrictions apply Thaumaturgy is limited to being learned and casted by Descendent and Descendent-equivalent races, such as the 4 main races, along with Kha, Musin, anything that’s not drastically different to a descendant, so no spectre's and or phantasmal beings or animati constructs or machine spirits.

I’m not very confident that this will pass MAG and come to pending/have a chance to be accepted since it's my first ever lore piece, but I thought it would be a waste not to try my hand at it. If anything I will have learned from this for my future writings, perhaps this concept was flawed, or perhaps how I went about implementing it was. What matters in the end is that I tried. - Titanium430 ChangeLog: 2021-06-28: Added clarifications on Self Teaching

Svuli Metalfist Pats Morul on the back, a brief nod given to his old friend "You don't need eh name o old teh have claim to the knowledge o tha elders - You did deh right thang leavin deh pas' behind yeh en lookin teh eh brightah en greener pasture." he says, walking off with him to a nearby library.

Otho de Vaisery looks over the missive with a wide smile. The human dragging his blade across a whetstone as he speaks to himself "Perhaps I could recreate the acts of my father and uncle, what a glorious moment it would be" Otho then moves to his feet with a loud clank of the metal plates on his frame, moving off.

Feanor Kaeronin chuckles as he takes a sip of his brandy, a sick look across his face "Good, Nevah liked that one, Adopted this, Adopted that. You were never my blood, so my heart does not weep." With the speaking of those words, Feanor pockets his flask and hops to his feet, swiftly making his way off from where he might be.

Angry Andrew would look over the announcement, then offering a wicked smile to a nearby ferryman "There is not much that a few good friends can not beat don't you think" he utters as he would bring a flask up, taking a sip of the fine brandy within, the elf then tossing a sash of red fabric into a nearby pire, its silver stars burning away within the blaze "History is bound to repeat itself within a bloodline"

Angry Andrew would read the public announcement, the dark haired mali sitting in a plush chair with glass of fine brandy in hand "Superb" he utters as he would take a sip of his drink, the fireplace crackling as he speaks "Keep it up comrades" he says, finishing his drink and raising to feet, The mali going off to work.

While admittedly a bit biased towards Norgeth's work being good and simple lore. I very much like the idea of the Karbek in a unbiased view, its very much harmless and adds a nice dash of rp flavor to the map. I like it . +1

Nice

Svuli Metafist, Thane of his clan would smile as the document of they had finally gotten a written document "Finealleh, Twas focken too lang wit'oot aneh paper's written on fer our clan"

“Oi Focken ‘elped eh!” Svuli Metalfist adds on from the clergy hall of Urguan

Gorm Underhammer nods sternly “Dis es vereh good, Grimdugan es a vereh important aspect o dwarven society and oi ‘ope more dwedmar respect es domain wit this new document”
