I dont think this actually solves the problem it's intending to solve, but I dont disagree that ooc oversight has become an abused part of the server, but as a guy whos done teaching rp over and over and over, It gets boring; Maybe thats just me, and maybe thats not a good excuse. Overall... 7/10, im not sad

please just get rid of the food plug in. lotc has been up for over ten years and never once did I hear that food was one of it's issues until the update

the old man did not read the missive. Looking at the picture and finding it nice. he liked lions

Yes, its more of a quanity over quality, thing really, keeping it 2, it feels like. we get a lot, but a lot is nearly not useful

Not a bad change in my opinion at all

Hello! after a few yap sessions with artificers, the feat feels a bit lack luster, and showing it's age, so I propose this small change that will make artificers FEEL like they are better at imbuing mana and voidal influence into reality, than the random mage whos never laid mana before. Old Lore New Stuff Purpose Artificers already give up combative power to create fun items, they shouldn't be locked out of all their lore and magics for the same length as a scion, who for all intents and purposes, get power and give up almost nothing when compared to a normal knight. I think this amendment will encourage more people to make artificer characters over the more combat focused feats.

That old archmage sighed as he read the propaganda words of the man called, maybe not a friend, but a peer. as he said "War was waged on us, and im accused of working with Lanre when I defend myself" Shaking his head, he knew the work would be harder now with this rumor, but he did not slack in his preparations to defend his own

It brings me no pleasure to admit the world was right about the Uruk. Creatures of instinct, driven by fire in their veins, heedless of consequence. How proud the Lie-Speaker must be, knowing his curse upon the sons of Krug has endured unbroken through the ages. I write now to those who still believe the Horde may rise above its blood-soaked legacy, who hope there is civility buried beneath centuries of savagery. Let this serve as a warning: do not seek alliance with the sand-eating, mud-dwelling brutes we call Uruk. Once more, with the absence of their Daddy, Thrall; the only voice to temper their idiocy — they have returned to fire and frenzy, as if it were all they’ve ever known. The sins of this new Horde are neither few nor faint. While we prepared to face Chromaweave, the Terror that threatens the marshlands, The Horde speaker called a meeting — not to aid in our efforts, but to conspire. When mages unbound to the guild bring harm, we are named heretics. When we labor to repair their destruction, we are still treated as darkspawn. There is no victory for us, only hatred And you, Bakhu'lur. You, who were not there with us at Grommash’s funeral. You, who never shared our bread, nor stood with us in the sands when the Horde dared dream of something greater. You outlawed my craft in silence, cast judgment without counsel, and now — after years without incident — you cry foul at a lone insult from a man unaffiliated with us, outside our land. You were not attacked; you hungered for justification to betray the very unity Horde claim to stand on. My mages remained within their halls, honoring every law set before us. We stayed true. We gave trust. And that trust has been shattered in mere weeks. When Hyspia attacked, we stood with you. When others mocked our alliance, I silenced them. I believed in the Horde. I believed in honor. But belief, it seems, was my folly. To any Uruk who still remembers what Grommash built — what Thrall fought for — if you still have pride, if there is any remnant of that once-noble dream left in you... Then take a blade to your throat, and let your blood remind the earth of what the Horde once meant. Scenery yours ~ Archmage Ipissimus Midas Von Athri'onn Acal'Turrii

I did not intend for it to be possible with Jing but the more I think about it, I dont see why I would limit it in such a way. So Yes you would be able to have a Medium sized Bear as a jing, though its weakened to be as strong as a wolf at max ability, with less dexterity, akin to a chimeric summon

Hello. I see conjuration in an odd state right now, where most people either have the magic and don't use it, or use bound Jing. In my ever continuing effort to bring whimsy and joy to the mage community, I hope to add an ability to conjuration, something that will give the community some more specialization and be more "thematic" I want to see that mage who specializes in insects or frogs, Drakes even, etc etc Adjust Fauna [T4] [Combative] The conjurer, now master of form and frame, may adjust the size of their summoned beasts -- conjuring mice to be the size of a mastiff or shrinking a stag to dance in their palm. Resizing their Fauna, an imperfect manipulation, that both strengthens and weakens the creature all at once. Mechanics Redlines

sighed "The superstitious church. How Ironic that they created themselves a god to feel safe, just to fear everything that doesn't step foot in their churches" the Arch mage just took the missive in his hand. the paper came ablaze before he walked away

the guild is still active

We're so back

Midas would disapprove of the starting Bid. Lucy knew that the ancient mage had spent all his money on the mage's guild hall construction. He is promptly debating a heist

A SUMMONS FOR ALL MAGES -=-=-=-=- I allowed the scholars of Aevos to ponder for a month on the Meeting day and I have Decided. Saturday (3/1) At 6 Pm EST The meeting itself Will be Hosted by the College of Red quill, in Chambery, the port town below Petra. There will be Signs from the square leading to the college. Regardless if you are a member of the college or not, you are invited, and regardless of your feelings for the the place, I encourage you to show up and speak your peace. Any one Interested In the Arcane, be it a master mage, a newly connected "acolyte", or a farmer who just heard about magic for the first time, is invited. I plan on discussing 3 major topics at this meeting, with open floors for each. If you wish to speak, prepare a piece. Those topics are as followed 1. The Decline in arcanists, and why? 2. What direction does the community of Wizards want to head towards. I.E. how to responsibly use the void 3. What caused the shift in nations banning our practice? and what can be done about it. These are the topics I wish to discuss. If there any important discussions, write me a letter personally and I will see if it should be added. I will make my intentions Very clear. I do not wish to create a magi guild. I am not the new age Kalgrimmor, or Grand Magister. Mages will continue to stalk in their towers, and you can do so without any loyalty to me. I want our community to grow and prosper. If you see the void being abused and feel the community of voidal scholars is going down the wrong path, then I gift you this opportunity to fight for your beliefs and state your mind among peers.

Under many of valindra's notices was the drawing of a angry monkey with knives

All those years married for nothing

An open letter to all The Mages and voidal interested parties of Aevos I have noticed a severe drop in practicians of the Void. I want to call a meeting with all Arcanists across our land of Aevos to discuss the future and betterment of our ilk. I fear with no unity among mages, trouble will be born and even more places will outlaw our field of study. If you are like me and believe that voidal trade is a dying one, but refuse to bend the knee to idiocy, respond here with what time works best for you, and what conversations you wish to have at this Meeting. The Meeting location will be chosen when the time is picked ~Midas Von Athri'onn Acal'Turrii. Times Thursday 6 pm EST (2/27) Thursday 8 pm EST (2/27) Friday 6 pm EST (2/28) Friday 8 pm EST (2/28) Saturday 3 pm EST (3/1) Saturday 6 pm EST (3/1) Saturday 8 pm EST (3/1) OOC This is my first forrum post in all 5 years on lotc, did I cook?

Lets goooo, I taught him air

I like crp and crping on my mage is fun. Casting flame throwers and a well placed sound blast is more fun than a "swings sword" emote for the 6th time I dont think much about voidal magic needs to be changed, the lore is very clear and defined in what it can and can not do, if the issue is the player base who focuses too much on crp, then idk what you can do besides just getting rid of the magic and restarting. 99% of voidal magic outside of transfig is combative magic, what do you expect will happen when you only give players combative spells, very few things are used outside of crp

I think this devalues the fensive abilities of the evocations. Also a mage armor that can block 3 hits as of plate ia just gonna cause every sicon to be a tranafig user, if not every combative mage. All n all, voidal magic is not weak by any means, giving them the ability for short term plate armor is almost power gamey to me. I can also imagine a void stalker spaming this spell with a bound jing running around acting an attacking unit. Then again a front lining void stalker beast master would be extremely funny

Corcs aren't "ageless" but the prevent you from dying from the normal blood magic timer, I think that should be added as well. I also dont understand why kloning wouldn't stop you from hard pking? since I dont believe blood magic redlines it. I could of missed stuff, I was reading in a car

I disagree that giving artificers the ability to create combative enchants would cause min maxing, doing so locks the player out of becoming a scion or void stalker. IMO void stalker is the strongest voidal feat in terms of power, meaning that the player would be giving up power for crafting RP. as it stands right now, my VS could become an enchanter and be "Minmaxed" I agree with everything else you said though, and should this lore come to pass, heavy consideration to buffing or changing enchants is not a bad thing.

With transfig being as it currently is, it only encourages power gaming, cause why would anyone take transfig thats 2 slots, when you get almost nothing out of it. The only benefit that comes from transfig rn is Marts, atronaches, and artificers. Reading the comments here I think the best fix for transfig would be to shelve the magic, turn abjuration into its own magic, and what mr ethan said. Give combative enchanting to the artificer feat. While all mages the ability to enchant potent enchants But if that doesn't happen, there is no reason for the magic to cost 2. It discourages fun crafting rp, and will push lotc furthure into a power game culture, imo
