i think we will find many other ways too, once our characters get head on with ideas. for example: something which our students and us do for outsiders to profit those included and the academy. like those books you mentioned. when students are long enough in their expertices, we could profit well from it.

rp magic ie: *valikor casts a charm spell on subject one* its something.. very closely related to powergaming.

yep, of course. but i still, and never was, suggesting to replace anything. merely something bit of extra to enhance the communications between the classes. like, team projects between classes which purpose might not only be to teach essentials, but to entertain. as like, time off studies. (like on this idea, it would be only side object to let them use their abilities in practice, but more about entertainment.) on this map, while not realizing in practice, we could still create theories. then, we wouldnt have to create it out of sudden as we would have many good ideas of different possibilities. and merely creating all sort of theories how thay could use their learned abilities in practice at non-study purposes, would be excellent way to see what our students really are capable of _outside_ of the academy with what thay have learned. (and i will never want to see an arena cleared out of nature into plain fields. being able to do this without destroying nature too much is only a must.)

well, its not like its supposed to be anything significant enough to take over the studies <.< just something which all students and teachers can participate at some specific occasions if thay wish to. i just think we need optional bonus things too to enhance communication between different classes. (edit: and never forget, that these sort of things could be made so, that thay help to learn things necessary at those classes. teamwork, engineering, defencive design, geography, navigation.. do i need to continue?)

its sports, not combat. there is distinct difference between those two. as the goal would not be centered in combat here, but rather your teams ability to build and outwit the enemy team in that type of sports.

we could develope our academy it's own sports. lets say, for example, we build a fenced off area in the wilderness, which is built for team combat. then some specific rules, as to how people are ruled off the game. ranger matches would work by first or two hits rules you out for example. then, you wear weapon off and leather armours to point out your not in game any more, and exit immediately. before that shouting "out" to clarify others. maybe even have possibility of coming back to the match by going to the spawn area? we could even build walk ways above this sort of sports combat for people to observe by. the goal could be many different, for example, capture/defend the outpost, extermination, destruction, and so on. before the match, teams would wit each other by building their areas to best of their abilities. or, by using pre-built settings. this would also be beneficial for those studying how to build these sort of things, as for all students participating it or watching it. -Valikor

i highly doubt he would ever even hear of it. im not planning to attach titles to names. it just looks bad to have titles in names. becomes far too long you see.

((hahah, lol's. problems of yours are small if school is what you escape from. i highly doubt this would be anything like the real life equivalent. for example, irl, we study it for real life application. here? we don't do it for any real gain, just for fun. that means, it would be constructed for entertainment, unlike the real life equivalent which has only one purpose.))

i could perhaps teach engineering, if this academy ever gets realized that is. also, i think there should be an advanced wild survival class. which, could be merged to work in cooperation with other classes. so it would not only teach what those skills are in practice, but how to use them for your survival. this sort of survival class would simply work by merging multiple classes together, after thay have learned enough of their corresponding skills to execute them in practice. -Valikor

uhm.. then i would have to change every title from latin to some other language.

its architectural thing. you know, like stone masons know how to craft stone, well.. aqua mason would know how to handle water. and magic, there always is that in aegis which only helps the cause. purpose is simply to have fun by building and designing. as well, to get as widespread range of land area covered by the guild as possible. all the means to handle water already exist in the current mechanics. just learning how to use them in your designing is what makes the difference.

((basically, all titles are in latin. also we use latin version to greet fellow liquidus)) ave = hello/hi we use astatine, magical element to reach our goals. this element is the source of our magical engineering. when you reach certain ranks, you will go through the ceremony of astatine ingestion. in which, you will ingest astatine to have its ability effects be forever bound to you, if you succeed to survive it that is. examples of use by astatine magic: aqua repel barrier. (basically, stops aqua from moving at certain magnitude, allowing aqua repellants to work in any form we wish. most common use, aqua door, aqua tunnels.) source of astatine is our most well kept secret, and will never leak to wrong ears. generally, the properties of astatine in our bodies allow us to master the manipulation of aqua, which we have been named after. current headquarters are located at the white valley. for location, contact me by a letter or by telepathic link once you are accepted. white valley's location is currently disclosed to the public. ranks are in descending order as: Dominus, master of the house. (me) Magisterium, master speaker. (whose tasks include organizing of different branches inter connectivity and politics.) Praetor, head of an individual branch in the guild. Orator, a Speaker. (one who has the privilege of speaking in behalf of all demiurgus and opifex. as well, superior to them. minor politician.) Demiurgus, an artisan. (plans building projects.) Opifex, a builder. (might also be someone who specializes in something entirely different, but can also build.) guild name translates as "house of liquidics", which comes from the mastery of understanding liquid elements which members of this guild poses. in other words, members of this guild are referred as of liquidus. that means, if i were to introduce myself, i would do it as follows: i be Valikor, dominus of liquidus. this guild has no affiliations to neither undead nor ascended. and i wish to keep it that way for the time being, as i have no care for their causes. guild ambitions: to have this guild widely available by having a guild branch in each of the major cities. and some branches in undisclosed locations. to build grand architectural designs for clients and ourselves which would not be possible otherwise. Applying: simply state your motivations and ambitions.
