Of Magic and Medicine, 264 S.A. From the Office of the Imperial Liaison IN LIGHT OF RECENT EVENTS, it has become apparent to me that I must pen some clarifications and provide new guidance regarding the conduct of users of magic within the Imperium. THE IMPERIAL COLLEGE OF MAGIC, of which I sit as the de facto leader, is the head governing and overseeing body for the usage of voidal magics within the Empire of Man. Thus, it falls to me to make decisions regarding overall policy, purpose, use, etcetera, in matters of the arcane. Solely in matters of the arcane - it would be ill-advised and foolish of me to attempt to go beyond my station, and tell the other leaders of other institutions the decisions they ought to make in their administration of whatever facet they have been charged with leading. THE IMPERIAL OFFICE OF MEDICINE, headed by Her Imperial Excellency, Andromède de Medford, stands as a similar institution. Theirs is the realm of healing and medicine, and thus all matters pertaining to such naturally fall under their purview. BY HER AUTHORITY, Lady Andromède has enacted an overall prohibition on usage of ‘magicks’ within medical practices in her well-read and disseminated Imperial Proclamation. I place full trust in her wisdom in doing so, as the art of Physick is her area of expertise. With such trust in her wisdom, and with my own authority as Imperial Liaison and with my own expertise on Magick and the Arcane, I do hereby proclaim the following: ABSOLUTELY ZERO VOIDAL MAGIC IS TO BE UTILIZED FOR MEDICAL PRACTICES, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE WHATSOEVER. To go even further in support of our fellow Institution’s vision, I also recommend the following: No user of magic should seek to practice medicine in any form. It ought to be left solely to those licensed by the Imperial Office of Medicine to deal with. Indeed, I believe Lady Andromède to be wise in her published restrictiveness to allow magi to obtain such licenses, and thus I do recommend that all practicing voidal mages simply remove themselves from such an environment, as their presence surely invites only wanton trouble and medical malpractice. DO NOTE, however, that this ban and recommendation extends solely to those lands whom place themselves under our purview when it comes to matters of magic, as at the moment we generally limit our authority to the heart of the Imperium and leave the governance and management of magic outside of the Imperial Heartlands to be something that falls within the autonomy of those realms. That said, I cannot say with any degree of certainty whether or not the licensure system of the Imperial Office of Medicine applies to lands such as Petra or Idunia, or if they are allowed to handle their own systems of medicine and licensing of physicians and healers (though it may be wise for them to accept Lady Andromède wisdom and leadership in such). The Imperial Office of Medicine ought to be contacted should one wish for clarification on their realms ability to self-manage such. THERE ARE SURELY MAGI READING THIS who shall gasp and be confused, saying something such as “But, surely, if we are using our magic in a positive way, for the healing of others, for the saving of lives, this is acceptable, is it not? I do not want my inaction to cause a preventable death!” To these individuals I say: Fret not! Firstly, rules are rules, and the rules of a license to practice medicine are absolute and definitive. Secondly, though, and perhaps more important to keep in mind: to be a doctor, physician, or healer of any kind is to accept the responsibility for the lives of all those whom you seek to treat. And Her Imperial Excellency, Lady Andromède, in her role as the Imperial Master Physician, thus does nobly accept the responsibility for all those who seek care under the domain of her Institution, whatever the outcome of their ills and injuries may be. For her willingness to lighten our shoulders of such a weight, we do thank her. TO HER IMPERIAL EXCELLENCY, ANDROMÈDE DEY MEDFORD (@TheIchorDruid), I wish to offer a personal apology for recent events, and failure to ensure those whom I work alongside have adhered to your methods. I do hope that this decree in support of your own opinion on the place of magic and mages within medicine, this written apology, and the blood of the four who were executed in conclusion to this ordeal, might bring you some peace of mind. Jude Amaranth, Imperial Liaison of the Imperial College of Magic

[!] This is not a public missive. Solely one Emperor would be privy to it, along with any they may share it with. ONLY FOR THE EYES OF THOSE DEEMED FIT The ██████ Project Written c. 258 S.A by ████ ████████, Imperial Liaison FORWARD Following the events of all descendantkind’s conflict with Orsathiael, the Daemon of the Mountain, one thing should be apparent to all: we are ill prepared for threats of such a magnitude and nature. Had it not been for the assistance of Thalandir and Eryndor, it is likely that disaster would have befallen us. Should such a threat ever come upon us again, and we lack such patrons willing to fight on our behalf, as things stand now we would be at a severe disadvantage, and catastrophe would be likely. It is for this reason that we propose the development of █ ███ ████ ██ ███████ █████████████ ██ ███████ █████ ██ ██████. It is our firm belief that engaging in this project, while certainly risky, is not only an opportunity for achieving a greater understanding of █████ ███ ████ ██ ███ █████ ████ ██ ███ ███ ███ ███ ███ ███████, but also a chance for the Empire to come into possession of an asset in the form of █ ██████ ███████ ██ ███████████ ████ ██ ███ ██████ █████ █████ ████████ ██, be it of a mundane nature, or one of a higher power. There are undoubtedly uncertainties regarding this project. There are risks. There is ample room for failure. Nothing is guaranteed. But one thing that is certain is that someday, some threat of the same caliber as Orsathiael will threaten the world again. Perhaps not today, nor tomorrow. Maybe not this week, this month, or this year. Maybe not even in any of our lifetimes. But eventually. such will come again. And we would be foolish to not have made preparations for such. INTRODUCTION ███ ██████ ██████ ██ █ ██████████ ██████████████ ████████ ████ █████ ████ ███ █████ ███ ███████████ ██ █████████ ██ █ ████████ ██ ██ ███████ ██████ ███ ██ █ ███████ ██████████ ██ ███████████ ███ ███████ ███ █████ ████ ████ ██ █████████ ███ ██████████████ ███████ ████ ██ ████████████ ███ ███████████ ██████████ ███████████ ████ ███ seldom found in our existence, though ████ ██ ████████████ ██████ ██ ██████ █████ ███ █████ █████. The most recent instance of a ██████ ██████ ███████████ within our realm was the relatively recent affair of the █████████ ██████████████ ████ █ ███ years prior to our flight from Aevos. As a result, there are a handful of individuals - █████ ███ ████████ █████ - alive now who have experienced █████ █████████ ██ ████ ███. One thing these individuals can surely attest to is the raw amount of power ██ █████ ██ ████ ██████ ██ ████████████ ████ ██ ████ ████ ████ █████ ███ ████████ ████ ████████ ██████ ███ ███████ █████████ ██ ███████ ██. And this was before ██ ███ ███████ ██ █████████ ███████ ████████ ███ ██████████ ██ ███ █████ ██ ██████ PROPOSAL With such a capability for power in mind, the following is proposed: A ██████ ██████ ██ intentionally █████████ █ ███████ ████ █████ ██ ██ ██ ███████ ███ ████ ██ █████████ ███████████ █████████ ███ ██████████████ In this weakened state, ██ ████ ██ ████████████ ██ █████████████ ███████ ████████ ███ ███████ ██ ███ ██ ██████████ ████ ███ ████ ██ ███ █████████ Once such has been established, and ███ █████ ███ ████ █████ ██ ██ █ ██████ ███ ███████████████████ █████, efforts will be made to increase ███ strength. ██ ██ █████ █████████ ██ ████ ██ more and more capable of engaging with greater and greater foes, eventually reaching a point where ██ ███ █████ ███ ██ █ ████████ ██████ ██ █████ ███████ ██████ ████████ █████████, such as Daemons like Orsathiael, or Infernal beings of great power, such as the one which appeared along the western shores of Aevos at one point some decades ago. RISKS, ISSUES, AND MITIGATION As mentioned prior, this idea comes with a host of potential risks and issues. Below is a list of some of the most obvious ones, and that which may be done to address or mitigate them. Risk / Issue: █████████ ██ ███ ██████ Explanation: There is no exact, standardized method by which █ ██████ ██████ ███ █████████ ██ ████████. The most obvious - and perhaps, only way viable for Man - to do so is via █ ██████ █████ ██████ █████ ████ ██ ███ ██ ███████████ █ ██████ █████████ █████ ████ ought not to be toyed with or taken lightly. █████████ ██ ███ ████ ███ ████████ ██ ███ █████ ███████ ████ ███████ ████ can be immense and dangerous Mitigation: Perform whatever is to be done ██ ██ ███████ ██ ██████ ███ ██████ away from the Empire. Far away. Likely on the western side of Azuras. There is even a small, uninhabited island far to the southwest, its nearest neighbor being the Horde lands, that such work could likely be performed on with little risk of interfering with life within the Imperium. Notes: None Risk / Issue: ███████ ███ ███████████ ██ ███ ██████ Explanation: This project would require ████ ███ ███████ ███ █████████ ███████████ ██ ███ ███████ Mitigation: ███████ █████ ██ ██ ██████ ███████ once weakened sufficiently, ██████ █████ ██ ██ ████ ██ ████████ ███ ███████ ██████████ ██ ███████ ██ █████ ███ ██ ██████ ████ ████ █████████ ███████████ is a bit more of an interesting matter. In theory, if ███ ██████ ████ ██ ██ ████ ██ ████ ████████ █████ ██ █████ ██ ██ ████████████ ███ ██████████ █████████ █████████ measures such as ████████ ██ █████ ███ could be employed here as well. As for the ████████ ██ ████ ███████████ ████, there are a few options. From the previously discussed risk and issue of █████████ ███ ██████, one option is the island proposed as the location for doing so. Another option, that may be more preferable, is the ██████████████████ ███████████ off to the ████. This will be discussed further below. Notes: None Risk / Issue: ██████████ ███ ██████ Explanation: A means would have to be found by which ███ ██████ █████ ██ █████████, as to enable it to ███████████ █████ ████████ ████. Mitigation: In the ████████████ ████ ██ ███ █████ ██████ ██████ █████ ██ ██████████ ██ █████████ ███ ████ ███. Though untested, we theorize that the ██████ █████ ████████ ██████ ████ ██████ ████ ██████ gradually, and use it to slowly strengthen ██████. If this theory were to be found true, it would ease much of the burden on us in ███████ ████ ██ ███████ ███ ███████ Notes: A research base there (which should be established to study the land and phenomena anyways) could act as ███ ███████ █████ ███ ██ ████ ██ █████ ███ ██████ ██ █████████ ██ ██ █████ ███ ██ ███ ████████ ███████████ present there. Risk / Issue: ████ ██ ███████ Explanation: By whatever means and for whatever reason, ███████ ██ ███ ██████ ██ ████. Mitigation: ??? Notes: An undoubtable, unavoidable risk. If such were to occur, the ██████ █████ ██████ ████ ██ ██ ███ ████. A potentially difficult task, but one that should be entirely doable. Even if not doable, we believe it better to be █████████ ██ █████████ ██ ███ ███ ███████ ███ ████ ██ ███ ███ █████, rather than subject to the whims and wills of some malevolent deity. AVE IMPERIUM!

> No piss Why live

Am I misremembering some spells or just severely undergaming their effects? Cause aside from (maybe?) the two dedicated make-you-cold spells, most stuff that I can think of applying an ice modifier to is still pretty well negated by heavy armor unless you are able to charge it up to a very high tier of casting, at which point they should be taking a lot of damage anyways. *Note that water evo / just getting them wet via a spell isn’t sufficient to proc this new weakness as I understand it, it specifically has to be ice that makes contact

I swear if you fucks ruin my beautiful voidal forest I'm going to make Lumbridge look like ******* firecracker in comparison to what happens this time. (Hope to see you guys get approved and have a spot somewhere though for real)

I genuinely don't think anyone on ST has ever thought this, nor can I think of the last time I've seen someone give that bane (I think I've seen it once in all of the tickets for boons and banes I've done). That said that's actually a pretty funny minmax idea for getting the freebies that Naz boons can offer lol.

What did LionBileti mean by this? 🤔
