  1. - Closed, but no TA and there'll be a self teach altar - Simply by giving someone the ability, the rest comes fairly naturally. There's no tier system or otherwise. - Redlining how accurate someone's memory can be is a rather difficult thing, I believe. Honestly, showing someone your first person perspective of a memory of being robbed isn't much different than people just describing what happened, except maybe having a neat bit of flavor to it. How often I've seen people slap up someone's skin on a bounty poster as an "artist's rendition" is too many to count. As for using combatively, all abilities are non combative, as stated. - One at a time, as I'm sure most people only have two hands. However, due to there being no TA needed, theoretically someone could go around and give this to everyone on the server. Though, the same can be said about housemagery. - I've thought the same, but it was less work to leave it how I wrote it lmao Thanks for the feedback!
  2. Conduit of Enlightenment Background The soul and the mind, two vastly powerful things on their own. Able to achieve a multitude of things alone. People look at the raw power of both of these, and wonder what more they can do. The finer abilities of the mind and soul, when working in tandem, are often overlooked. Things that won't help you kill a man, but will help you tell a story, or give a lesson. It is so often that these abilities are used for battle, when we should learn how to better share the experiences with those close to us. A Conduit of Enlightenment is one who has achieved this connection, their mind and soul tethered together in a way that no other magical force in the world can achieve. The true power of the mind is not in its capacity for suffering, but its capacity for telling a story. Abilities Mindscape Travel (Non Combative) The practitioner is able to enter an enhanced meditative state, entering into a "physical" representation of their own mental state. This usually manifests as the place they are most comfortable with in the real world, but can have twists to reality, colors being changed, etc. Depending on their mental state and their view of said place. Practitioners may bring up to two people with them (henceforth referred to as Passengers) into the mindscape. Redlines Lucid Dream (Non Combative) The Practitioner is then able to move on from the mindscape to a complete lucid dream-like state, having complete control over the environment around them, and being able to grant a similar or limited amount of control to Passengers. Tethering Tethering, or as most magics would cause it, connection, is a simple feat. It requires no TA, you must simply be taught how to tether people’s minds and souls. The practitioner places a hand over the recipient’s head and heart, and enters the very same meditative state used to use all the other abilities stated before. Within this state, they take a student on a journey of their mind, which can lead to a multitude of things, and is very freeform. People may face their past, what they believe to be their future, or even just a wild sequence of events with no clear meaning. There is also a method that one can learn to do this on their own, with no one to guide them. The true ability is caused by the Practitioner to tap into their soul via a deep meditation, causing the mindscape to form. It is not a true, permanent tether, the practitioner has simply learned how to "poke" their soul to induce this state. Citation Booklight, for his original lore - Purpose The primary purpose of this submission is to expand slightly on the abilities of this rather old lore, and make it a rather easy ability to learn. I thoroughly enjoy this lore, and simply wished to update it to modern standards so we can continue to enjoy it. Changelog Added a redline that Passengers can exit of their own free will. Changed 'mindplane' to 'mindscape' to keep voidal horror lore in mind. Removed "Memory Share" as an ability. Clarified some teaching stuff. Clarified that tethering is a minor thing, in which the practitioner is able to "tap into" their soul. Added grogginess rules. Edited outside stimulus rules. Added 'forced stay' redlines.
  3. I think it really comes down to an individual character thing, but I see what you mean. Main real reason is "Dragons hoard", and isn't related to the druid aspect.
  4. Heyo friendo, like I said in my last reply, this comes from a long accepted lore piece of the nature Dragaar, Taynei'Hiylun, who is an attuned druid. The hoarding aspect comes from the fact that they're dragonkin and made by a dragon. As for it not fitting with druids, if you read into it, it's actually very possible for this CA to introduce conflict within the existing druid playerbase due to a different set of ideals.
  5. Hey friend! The specific reason of them being dragon aligned is because of the nature dragaar, Taynei'Hiylun. If you look at how the CA works, the only real similarities to Azdrazi would be the fact that they're dragons, probably. how you gonna meme on a meme line friend is this what inception is about
  6. Nice creatures, though the inability to commune with them on some instances are strange.

  8. This is claiming to use inspiration from ancient techniques, but it uses lore that irply was only just invented. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but a good general concept. Seems more like a MArt.
  9. The poster is taken down by a particular 'aheral druid, the woman frowning. "Just.. Talk to people. Don't just put notices in the tavern without asking." The woman mumbles to herself as she returns behind the counter, going back to her place in the ledger.
  10. The Jackdaw is awoken by the vision, in panic for a moment, before sighing. The duties done. No, not really. Well, time for the long part.
  11. Ciliren had lost patients, before. Many times, in fact. She remembers the tears vividly. Over children she couldn't save, and people who's bodies she had to carve to keep them in a vague sense of being alive. She remembers each of their names, and their faces as the light left their eyes. Years of suffering abated by the blade of a scalpel, and the frustration and endless nights of design. Solomon's design took four years. She looks to herself, over the fact that she herself has lost half her body to similar surgeries. The prosthetics helped, sure, but true peace cannot be found in an incomplete body. The leftover pain reminds her every day that she isn't a complete person. The pain in her dreams remind her that she isn't a complete soul. Another name to the list, locked away for no eyes to see. The body given to the land, to return the life it took from the world. Two months of meditation devoted. Until she was called back to work. Lives continue to end, and she continues to scold death for taking them so soon.
