What magic(s) will you be teaching?

         Voidal Transfiguration

Describe this magic or a creature as a whole:

Transfiguration is a voidal art that is about manipulating and enchanting through various techniques. Through the creation of enchantments, a transfigurationist can enhance objects with combative spells to aid in battle, or non-combative spells to provide help on normal scenarios. Furthermore, a transfigurationist can use their art in order to alter aspects of objects around them, such as color, temperature and shape. Within the realm is enchanting, they can also be aided by other transfigurationists in order to borrow another mage's spells via "Entrap Spell". Lastly, in a more combative perspective, they can utilise "Warding" and "Abjuration" in order to block or absorb enemy spells.

Are there different sections or subsections of magic? Can those be elaborated upon?

A transfigurationist is able to manipulate the world around them via Mana, allowing them to reshape objects and items abiding by the Law of Equivalent Exchange (Transmutation) Second, it allows the individual to infuse an object with a specific spell, aswell as creating fields of mana that are able to counter incoming spells
 

Voidal Feeling:
 

The Voidal Feeling is a tool used by the mage in order to understand the physical properties of inorganic, non-living or dead-organic objects that are used for transmutation. The users capability heavily influences the success of the aforementioned spell (Ex; Magical and Alchemical attributes of an object)

Furthermore, it gives insight to the transfigurationist about the temperature, the durability, the color aswell as any chemical traits, however, if the object is enchanted the mage will receive information about said enchantment.

However, the Voidal Feeling is not compatible with any living matter or some specific magics aswell as anything that is bigger then two cubic meters (In which case, it requires a specific ritual)
 

Transmutation:

It's the ability to understand and manipulate the physical attributes via the Mana that it contains allowing the mage to create complex objects and even change states of matter (Always abiding by the Law of Equivalent Exchange)

A few examples of which are:

Alteration of Color
Alteration of Temperature
Alteration of Density / Volume
Alteration of Position [in space]
Combination of materials (Fusion)
Breaking mixtures (Fission)

Lastly, the mage is able to use Enhanced Magelight which is a better is a version of the Lightorb spell, allowing the mage to draw in ambient light in order to create a brighter illumination source, capable of being used as a source of illumination or a distraction during combat.

Enchantment:
 

Lesser Enchantment: They offer no combative capabilities or advantages and are mostly aesthetic enchantments.

Potent Enchantments: They are given an artificial mana pool that enables a spell to be bound to an object. (Novice Level)

Grand Enchantments: Via the use of Magegold or Arcanium a mage is capable to bind a much more powerful spell. (Tier 4 or higher) (Advanced Level)

Co-Enchanting: Via a ritual a transfigurationist with the help of other mages can borrow any unfamiliar spells and bind them onto an object.

Entrap Spell: A transfigurationist can trap a spell in a sealed container in order to use it later.

Mana Leyline: By manipulating mana aswell as using focus crystals a Leyline can be formed enabling Mana to be redirected from various sources.

Warding/Abjuration

By creating a disruptive Mana field the transfigurationist is able to intercept, disassemble any spell which they can then return to the void or deflect. In order to disassemble a spell, the mage must be familiar with the magic that is being used against him

Ward Shield: The mage creates a disk-like shield purely made of from the aforementioned disruptive Mana in order to defend themselves against spells. When a spell strikes the shield, it would desintegrate into particles of the respective element/magic with the possibility of rebounding under specific conditions

Abjuration: Using the same disruptive Mana, a mage can create a baseball sized projectile of distorted air or, if the mage wishes, in their own aura, which is propelled at high speeds towards an enemy spell. If the spell is hit by the Abjuration, it seizes control of the spells Mana composition which, in turn, returns it to the void.

Can you give an example of a casting emote, of a spell of your choice?

The veilwatcher would sit bored within his workshop, rocking on his chair as he spotted a few unused ingots. With a look of mischief, he placed his hand on his chin, as a faint dark red mist began to surround his lower legs, as he established a connection.

He would then proceed to move his hand above the further right ingot, which was within arms range. The aforementioned aura switfly swirleda round his body until some of it rested around his right arm, which was a few inches above the ingot, as he slowly reeled his hand down, the ingot getting attracted to it, as it was faintly levitating under his palm.

The Veilwatcther smirked further, his aura dripping down as it coated the ingot. As he began to close his palm a bit the ingot begint to twist, the metal groaned as it did, getting pushed in as it became stubby and more blocky, the made maintaining his eyes and focus on it.

Soon, the metal would have been changed into a perfect, chubby cube as it slowly touched the desk once more, the mage satisfied in killing some time, yet he is now bored yet again.

Can you give an example of a teaching-emote (interacting with another) of a spell of your choice?

"Alright akhi, let us continue on with our lesson!" stated the 'aheral as he moved his hand over his workbench, various materials, jars and tools neatly organized atop it. "Today we will go over the simple act of moving objects via our art." he would then take a breath, as a dark red mist would appear around his legs, slowly swirling around as he connected to the void.

"This simple spell will let you to Alter the possition of an object." he said as he bobbed his head for a moment as he felt like he had to be clear "And before you ask, ti, you will be able to it to multiple objects, however there is a limit to what one can handle, so excercise caution!" he would then proceed to reach out his hand towards a neatly placed metalic cube on his desc, as his aura would slowly swirl up his body until it reached his extented hand as he began to channel his mana.

Would then proceed to begin to move the small cube, as it slowly got lifted , seemingly following the guidance of the 'aherals hand though lacking behind a bit due to its weight. "As you can see, I using my mana as a force to 'push' or propel the object in the direction I see fit" he said as he moved it towards the right and then up, before gently placing it back on the workbench, as the aura began to disapear as he stopped his connection. "Of course, we are limited by the weight of the object as it greatly affects how fast and effeciently we can move an object, now how about you give it a try." he said to his student, as he gave them a gentle pat on the shoulder to encourage them to do as they were told.

Say your student powergames during or after teaching, how do you reprimand that?

It highly depends on what the student in question does exacly, though one universal responce would be the recollection and breakdown of the events of their powergaming in order for them to review their mistakes and understand what they did was wrong. Obviously, if one is new to magic, there are bound to be accidental and minor incidents, however if such were to continue, I would be forced to at first pause their teaching. if that yields no results, I will have to drop their MA, since there is no point if it become intentional and I will not bare the shame of teaching someone with such views and releasing them into the world, since it would only bring about more trouble for me, the student, as well as any person they interact with.

Valanor was actually wrong about this ruling, which is why it's not been kept up. That's what I heard anyways

Edit:
Plus, if we were always connected, then we wouldn't have to do our connection emote

I fully agree with this, much like other people have stated in this post, what if a Voidstalker needs a potion outside of combat? I believe there should either be a re-write of thus rule or just a general wipe of it.

+1 for posting this though, I was actually not aware Void Stalkers couldnt prime potions...

In the midst of him moving some his belonging, Father Raven would drop the box he was carrying, as he fell to floor, as the rest of the movers were mortified by his spasms. In the ened he awoke, pondering as he was visibly confused before it started to settle in, his expression change to one of mortified confusion as he got up and rushed somewhere..

As the Leader of the Order Of The Crimson  Raven read through his pappers, he would stumble upon this particular one, an eye roll here, a sigh there as he was generally disapointed at the missuse of the 'Raven' "What with all these 'Raven' brandings recently... at least do not look the rest of us look bad." he said, crumbling the paper before simply tossing it behind him as he continued reading through his mail.

What magic(s) will you be teaching?

         Fire Evocation

Describe this magic or a creature as a whole:

Fire Evocation (Takes up 1 magic slot) is one of the elemental voidal arts that allows a pyromancers to conjure flame from the void into our world to be used and manipulated.

As an art itself however, it can prove quite destructive, as it allows for the user to offensively (or even defensively) manipulate fire, which in turn can spread beyond its intented purpose, that all excluding its explosive capabilities which just on their own can be destructive enough. Though, it is not all about harming, as one can also use their fire to cauterize a wound or even create a fiery trail to act as a low wall for seperational and crowd control cababilities in the battlefield.

Are there different sections or subsections of magic? Can those be elaborated upon?

While Fire Evocation does not have a specific subsection, it has what one would call two modifications that can be added to spells to increase their usage and power and can only be used by a Fire Evocationist of Tier 4 (For Blue fire) and T5 (Combustion)
They are as follows:

Combustion: This 'modification allows for the user to enhance their spells in order to make them combust and explode on impact. This would add 1 additional emote to the casters emote count as well as having to be 'hinted' and or somehow noticable that the modification has been added to it.

Blue Fire: This 'modification' allows the user to manipulate the intensity of their spells, making them quite dangerous, as from a single touch with exposed skin, one could easily get 3rd degree burns or worse. Once again the caster must indicate their appliance of the modification, even though the fire itself is blue.

Can you give an example of a casting emote, of a spell of your choice?

Conjure Fire [N]

[1] Ahmanu would bring forth his right hand, the palm facing upward, his legs covered by a crimson red misty aura as he established his connection, as he a few cinders appeared atop his palm.

[2] The elf would bring his hand up slightly, within that motion a small ball of flame, around the size of a candle flame, would sproute into existance, as it idely floated above his palm

[3] The ball would begin to swirl around his hand, going from the palm to the back twice before Ahmanu gently move his hand to the side, the ball gentle disapearing in a trail of cinders.

Can you give an example of a teaching-emote (interacting with another) of a spell of your choice?

Flame Projectile [C]

"Alright akhi, today is a very important day, for you shall learn the most basic combative spell of Fire Evocation." he said, as he paused for a moment to breath, a thin layer of crimson mist conjuring around the lower part of his legs. As the mist began to slow down, swirling every so slightly he was connected to the void.

The elf would proceed reach out his right arm, his grasp open, as a few measely cinders sparked to life. " Now, simple for someone like me, you need to focus your mind on the shape, regulate your breathing and stay calm, let the mana flow through you and into the spell." Within a few moments, said cinders had began to form a small ball, no bigger than a baseball as the projectile was now ready.

The elf would then move his arm in order to aim into a dummy a few meters away, the ball remaining within his open grasp, before speaking once more "And once you feel ready, imagine you giving it a push, almost like you can feel the muscle tense as you do so, or if it helps, do the motion as well." he said, as he brought his hand back, using his shoulder to push his hand forth, as he sent the ball of flame flying at the speed of an arrow, making contact with the hay dummy's chest, sprouting it cinders at the direct hit, the dummy itself bending back a bit, a few of its straws burning up.

"That should be all for Flame Projectile, though do keep in mind that you can manipulate its shape to a good extent, though in the heat of battle I highly doubt you'd get a chance akhi." he spoke with a chuckle, the mist around his legs slowly disapearing into thin air as he disconected from the void.

Lair Lore (supply link to an existing creature or other lore if being used as basis for this lair) (1000 words minimum):

The Soaring Faith and The Kaemhan Culture:

Group Explanation:

The Order Of The Crimson Raven, Kaemhan inhabitants of Fælheim Keep and many of the reaches of the Known World, are a recent group and culture of soldiers and workers that have united under a singular missive - The search for Eternal Freedom, to spread one's wings far and wide, and to spread such freedom to all those who desperately seek it, yet, by themselves, have no means to attain it. Their morally grey ways of both operating and thinking have led them to not only see past one's origin and physical characteristics but also gets them far too often in altercations with nations and other groups who oppose the idea of True Freedom by clipping the wings of the people. Those who will for their freedom, and seek to unshackle themselves from the slavers and tyrants of the world are free to seek shelter under the Grand Wings of Feidelhm, until they, too, can take flight.

The main strength of the Ravens is the lack of fear to become "monsters" to fight off oppressors and beasts from far and wide - Nothing will escape the wrath of Riognach if it were to stand in the way of a Raven and it's rightful freedom - A malevolent creature or an unfair ruler are no different upon the eyes of judgement, and both will receive equal punishment for their transgressions. This lack of fear to become "abnormal" in order to stay true to their spiritual calling is what makes the Ravens poorly received in most lands, as well as their unbending will to never be shackled and tamed, as is the Kaemhan way. 

Lair Build and Infrastructure (photos required, give dimensions):

The Lair fits within the 75x75 that is standard to lairs.

Iternal Hilltop (Place of Warship):

Why can this group not fulfill their roleplay niche in an existing settlement or nation? (Give a detailed answer and examples of how this has not worked in the past.):

Most members of the Order Of The Crimson Raven fall within the category of 'darkspawn', dark magery or even magery in general and even those who havent yet, plan to do so in the future. Due to that, their moraly gray view on the world (As explained above), the way they opperate as well as obtain power and the fear of Region PROs and Metagaming. Due to all that, there has been multiple occasions of excomunication from their employeement and general conflict amongst them and the people they wish to help or merely even attempt to RP with.

How does this lair add to the greater world around it? How will its existence benefit its roleplay group and the server at-large?:

The Order is based upon my own original Greek/Nordic culture and religion, which I am also looking to expand the player base of, the physical structure providing for a safe heaven, accessible to those who wish to follow the ways of the Kaemhan or join them in their quests mentioned in this post, as well as the one I provided before.

The group itself plans to attempt to be a new beacon of RP, for those who would wish to dive into the world of monster hunting, by becoming one themselfs to more effectively hunt and exterminate dangerous creatures as well as decendants who have been deemed unfavourable by the Kaemhan religion (Slavers, tyrants etc. Anyone who might restrict anothers freedom.)

In sort, this group will provide conflict on a political scale, to any event line related to the world as well as allowing for players to experience a different prespective of 'being' of the monster hunter and general 'mercenary' tropes.

Father Raven chuckled at yet another situation he found amusing "Ah ti, Lurin has dug themselfs another hole..." he said shaking his head, looking ahead, as he placed the missive aside "May Riognach allow thy people to bring justice to Lurins unjust ways, for they've been getting away with such for far too long." he spoke one final time, as he used his staff to lift himself up so that he may be on his way.
