To try and be nice with this, as you are someone new to the server and has not written lore before:

 

- This is obviously ripped from D&D / Baldurs gate 3, meaning it is material that is not simply 'inspired', it is blatent theft of other peoples works with little to no change at all

 

- You have not made this in anyway the same as normal CAs or magics are written and made on the server. I suggest looking over the links posted on the bottom.

 

- You did not think about how to match this at all to the server lore, or in anyway how the server rps certain magics. Especially adding a focus on romance which is very heavily looked down upon by the ST, especially if it is for a non-humanoid CA.

 

- none of your abilites are explained, they are easily powergamed and poorly represented. They are in simple terms, uncreative and not thought out.

 

- Your images use do not describe at all how these characters would actually look. and are stolen right from a game.

 

- You do not explain how a devourer would become ascendant, nor any of the rituals behind the CA / magic on how to become one of these, though I assume it is by a tadpole in the eye.

 

- Your redlines are a poor mess and make this very easily abused, when you write redlines, write them like they are for five year olds.

 

- Your purpose has no thought or meaning behind it and is a niche already taken by other CAs and magics

Wereweavers

“They skitter and crawl,

Eight legs that sprawl,

Skitter and spindle,

Litter of thralls.”

Origins

The creation of the art of Wereweavers all started one dreadful night. Rain poured down and splattered against the brick. The wind howling, whispering, all while a peculiar man could be seen through the window of the tottering tower. “Pitter patter”, it said to him. In the center of the room sat a cauldron, bubbling purple fumes. Looking to the counter was a vial… not just any vial - no no, for inside it festered a cluster of putrid, vile beings. Thousands of tiny spiders skittered in the container, beckoning to leave. The man reached his thin digits for another glass vial, before moving forth to the bubbling liquid within the cauldron and filling the vial. He’d place the vial back on the counter, then opening a cupboard underneath the sink. A horrid smell wafted out of it. The figure would reach his hand in, withdrawing from it - a fresh, blood covered carcass. Presumably from a chicken, though it was mangled and unidentifiable. He dropped the carcass onto the counter, before opening the spiderling-filled vial and setting in a few droplets of the purple liquid which had been withdrawn from the cauldron. The thousands of tiny spiders began to seemingly go mad, festering even more. He’d dump them all into the blood covered carcass, before pouring a bit more of the liquid into the carcass. What felt like years for the man would pass, he would seemingly go mad - staring at the spiders within the carcass as they ran rampant. Eating the carcass dry. He would decide to go to sleep. After a few hours of sleeping he heard something. “Pitter patter”, whispered a voice again, though the rain had stopped. The figure got out of his bed, moving to the carcass “Huh? It’s… empty” muttered the figure, trailing off. A sound akin to clipping nails could be heard, skittering across the floor. He whipped his gaze around, though it was too late. A much larger spider, one about the size of a large hand leaped up his legs making its way to the center of his back - around the spine. It dug its legs into his back, planting itself into him “AGHH!” the shrill scream would echo throughout the tower.

Wereweavers have always been quite rare knowledge, being passed down for generations to the far from mundane alchemists and seekers. A craft that has been around for years, recently rediscovered.

Creation

A complicated process, one attempting to procure such must first ensure they have an abundant supply of all alchemical materials and tools they may need. A large cluster of spiderlings is first needed, they can be of any mundane breed. Next, a violet elixir must be crafted and prepared, also a few different herbal reagents. Finally, a carcass roughly the size of a chicken will also be needed - fresh and covered in blood.

This is a further alchemy, meaning it requires a valid FA for use and a valid teacher to learn how to create.

Process

Mechanics

Effects

Once the wereweaver has taken its place on the back of the user and has stayed there for more than two elven hours, it will be planted and mainly only the back of its abdomen and cephalothorax will be visible, with an exception of mere parts of the legs visible. The rest of its body will be dug into the user’s back. It will be near impossible to remove at this stage without causing extreme damage to the person, the only method is to cut a chunk of the person’s back off, taking the spider with it. The spider would now be bound to the user’s body, much like a new appendage on them. Hurting the spider would only hurt the user. This new found parasite-like appendage has many interesting boons, though each coming with downsides. After the initial connection, the person will be under immense pain and will likely pass out or have to lie down. This subsides after 2 IRL hours. Once the two hour mark passes, the user will begin to slowly learn and realize themselves what the wereweaver brought to them.
 

Physical

Physically, the wereweaver’s inhabitance will have many effects on the body. One may notice that webs begin to appear on the surface of the skin, even sometimes the occasional regular spider crawling about. They will feel about normal when it comes to strength, though they will almost always feel tired or drained. Unless, they consume other, smaller spiders. The wereweaver will drain a lot of the energy from the user, eating spiders being the only good way to satiate it. The user will likely grow accustomed to the taste after a while, and will be dependent on eating them to have more energy and feel less tired.

Succeeding the passing of time, the person will be able to completely avoid sleeping - as it will no longer have much of an effect on them, if the person consumes enough spiders that is.

The presence of crawling spiders, webs and the massive spider on the host’s back will make it hard to conceal they have a wereweaver. The wereweaver on the hosts back will be a large source of fresh spiders, which find their homes throughout the host’s body. This being said, the wereweaver itself can be quite easily hidden with a simple shirt, though blatantly obvious if the back is not covered.

Mental

Mentally, this is not as taxing as other things may be - though it does come with its oddities. The user will feel dependent, almost addicted to eating spiders though they will never eat ones who have made their homes on the body. They will feel connected emotionally to the spiders produced by the wereweaver, and therefore will not harm them in any way.

The host will also become very ancy and unable to do long tasks such as writing long letters and reading long texts, as well as sitting down and idling for extended periods of time.

Abilities

While having a wereweaver does lead to some flaws, it does as well have a skillset of new-found abilities. Some useful for combat, others not.

Infestation - [Passive/Non-Combative]

Webbing Manipulation - [Non-combative/Combative]

The host is able to create new webbing, then being able to manipulate it - whether it be for combative purposes or non combative. They may choose to use it to tie someone up, or maybe choke them - or maybe just as a rope to tie something together.

Supreme Mysteries of the Alchemical Void

~The channeling of creation through symbolism and spoken word~

The Preface.

Since the dawn of time and creation itself, there lay machinations beyond the seeing-eye which dictate and influence every happening in one way or another. Be they the Creator’s remnant wake in the water of space, still rippling on to this day, the indiscernible waves of energy which the stars produce, or even the power of thought and the metaphysical. These things remain unhampered, immortal to the point where they may not be distinguished from air by a mortal mind and a mortal soul. Thus came symbolism. Due to the cryptic nature of these things, and origins even more-so, they may only be harnessed by use of symbolism and spoken word - for using them directly would be attempting to speak fluently in a language which does not exist.

It is for these mystical reasons that alchemists, philosophers, pious theologists and mages alike deploy such curious processes in their workings. Their workings are riddled with symbolism. And this symbolism is deployed in assay to derive meaning for purpose - which is essentially the unbridled foundation of alchemy and magic itself. This makes symbolism a powerful asset in all that exists. The common alchemist uses ‘symbols’ to create concoctions, this is no coincidence. Symbolism, in one way or another, is found in nearly every form of magic (and religion, etc.), such as the trinkets used by mystics to contact the dead, the magic circles created by voidal mages, the material alphabet, or the runes used by blood mages (this, of course, does not account for the entire list, it is a mere few examples).

Such things make up what is known as The Metaphysical Array.

The Metaphysical Array.

What is a sign? What is a symbol? What are they made of? Even though it seems as if impossible to answer this question, we alchemists have unknowingly figured it out, and the answer is right before us. The answer is there with every use of alchemy. With every potion crafted. We refer to symbols using names. For example, “fear”, “peace”, etc. The names are intentions, and have clear relevance in the creation of alchemical concoctions. Who figured this out? How could it be known that primordial dust, found in the make-up of matter, would have characteristics that are innately human? Is it reasonable to describe a material as peaceful, fearsome, swift, weak, or as any of the other characteristics that symbols seem to entail? It is very unlikely. So, finding out what symbols are made of can be ascribed to finding out where they inherit their characteristics from. And as we know, the “characteristics” are actually intentions. Who had the first intention? There must have been intention in the creation of the material plane as we know it, if all matter is derived from it.

As demonstrated in countless ways, there is clear power in thought and intention. The coming-to-be of alchemy for descendents is not documented, however I believe it must have happened in either one of two ways:

The knowledge of alchemy was passed down to us by a deity. All of the signs and symbols remain pure to their original intention (the intention of the creator). Ulll eth fo etwro.

Or,

Descendents discovered alchemy for themselves. They described each sign and symbol with their own intentions, and the collective belief in the new versions of the signs and symbols allowed this to work. They could not have possibly known the original meanings of each symbol, and hence came up with new intentions; intentions that we still use to this day.

The Alchemical Void.

The alchemical void is the idea that, while alchemy is inherently of the material plane, it must also exist outside of the material plane, and of course, in the void. The gift of nothing could not be any more paradoxical. It is the very nature of the void to be incomprehensible to those that exist within the material plane. The known laws of alchemy allow one not to understand the void, but to know what it is not. Many claim that the void is not anything. Some say that the void is everything. I am not here to say what the void is and isn’t, but to encourage the thought that everything had to come from something. From an intention. 

The void has intention. 

God is alchemy.

Did you get accepted?

A sorry creature, reduced to a pitiful state, now less beast than man but still in his conscience he knew that there was no forgiveness for his crimes. Was this what it was to truly live? To finally feel alive? To teeter on the edge of life and death, knowing that one misstep could lead to your demise? Oh, what a thrill it all was! The minstrel had sung his last song. The piper had played his last piece.
