    Yo I wish I lived in NYC to help you out meanking. I'm sorry life dished these circumstances out to you and hope you can get back to the UK or get a place to stay. My prayers are with you my friend, please try to stay safe and healthy. Thanks Heero for helping him out, it actually means quite a bit to me. I may have quit the server, but meanking was a very good homie to talk to and play with on lotc. I wish for the best.

    [✗] Malchediael and His Celestine [Magic]

    1. Despite being deific, the Druids do not follow the same thematic sense as this magic, or the other 'holy magics'. It is a magic based in nature where this is based in the 'Light', or that very basic 'cleric' or 'paladin' aesthetic. I would say that, looking to Paladinsim, Clericism, and Ascended magic, we can see that magics that follow that aesthetic are indeed very based around the slaying of the 'darker' creatures and magicians of the world. So, whilst druidism may have 'beat this to the punch', I personally wouldn't classify it as one of the magics I was referencing. What's more, is that this is not the SOLE reason that we created the magic, rather one of them. There are other reasons listed in the intro, all of which I think are pertinent and also important even if this particular reason may not be enough (and I agree, creating a magic with JUST that in mind would be a poor choice).

     

    2. Malchediael has been discussed in the LT chat, and choosing to not take a side either way was seen as a more interesting alternative. Having been seemingly abandoned by Aeriel on the mortal plane for hundreds of years, and subsequently cursed by Iblees, it seems logically possible (and indeed, likely to my way of thinking), that Malchediael would have issues following either the Archaengul or the Archdaemon due to past conflicts with them, or simply negligence in the way of Aeriel. This is really a point of taste rather than an empirical one, and I think it has little relevance on the lore itself.

     

    3. I'm not sure I entirely understand this comment, though it has been implied that this magic will not be limited to but one group. The reliquary is a neutral location, chosen and crafted specifically because it cannot be 'owned', as in truth it is 'owned' by Malchediael himself and his previous followers. Thus, it will always remain a centre for the magic, but not a centre for any particular group of people. I hope to keep it this way, and promote any and all to come to this location to partake in the roleplay and learn about Malchediael and his ideals.

     

    4. Having this spell gives them the ability to take part in the battle with the dark arts users, yes, but a majoirty of their magic is 'neutral' and does not focus on the slaying of dark arts users. I do not expect people to simply 'not use this ability'; it is just that this is the only ability that has anything to do with the dark arts. Other magics, for example the clerical magic given by Tahariae, ALWAYS deal damage to dark arts users/creatures who come into contact with their power. Shades, for example, will always be damaged by a cleric if they attempt even to heal them. With this magic, a Celestine could empower a shade with courage without any ill effects for the shade. In this way, the Light of Malchediael and the magic in general can interact positively with dark creatures where other 'holy magics' cannot. Overall, the magic does not focus on the slaying of the darker creatures on the server, thus I would not call it hypocritical to allow people to take part in that conflict.

     

    5. This will primarily come down to roleplay, as strength has been part of various creatures beforehand. I agree that this could be PG'd, but then all kinds of magic and abilities might be able to given poor thinking. I would not argue that this is a problem, as PG is potentially a problem with all kinds of magic.

     

     

    The third was saying you wrote that completely fine. The first one, Malchadiel is completely outraged with Aeriel for seemingly have abandoning him even though he was given directive by the aengudaemons, he was ambushed and taken by the Undead in Aegis in his axe form. He sees Aeriel as a **** leader, and when he was freed by Iblees he proceeded to make a deal with Iblees, so that still makes no sense to me. The wrongs Iblees did in the past hold nothing to the deal that transpired in Athera, before I was even LT. And as for 4, it shouldn't hold any anti-dark arts whatsoever. With 5, this is the same situation the LT had with Flesh Runes and old Ascended magic. Base increases in power can be arbitrary and pgd much more easily than something that is more streamlined.

    Lets start this off:

     

    1. You shouldn't create a magic to try and prove anything about a certain type of magic. And if anything, druidism isn't dedicated to slaying the dark arts. So the aspects have you beat there bud.

     

    2. Malchadiel definitely chooses a side in the Iblees conflict.

     

    3. Malchadiel is the type of aengul to reward those for their courage, so limiting it to a group doesn't make sense and therefore are correct with this portion. 

     

    4. You create a power that specifically hurts dark arts users, and then expect no one to use it to continue to fight against them or target them that has this magic. Then create magic that revolves around the defense of the dark arts. This is hypocritical to your point of the magic. 

     

    5. The strength can be PG'd, as well as the increase in versatility with weapons and their use.

    Wasn't he the aengul of strength? Also, why would there e an "aengul of balance" when the Aspects exist to maintain natural equilibrium? That seems to fall under their domain, not his.

    Eshtael already existed as the Aengul of Balance, however had no lore written down. Much how the original evocations had no concrete lore written down. There are a plethora of other accepted aengudaemons that need posts. Perpatiel, Jophiael, Gavrael, Mortades, Fastial, Llahir, and Tesion to name a few.

    A Return to Roots

    Elder Grungron would feel an odd feeling in his chest, as if something had corrected itself as he ventured across the barren land of white. Snow coating his beard and tattered hood his eyes would soon fixate upon a small animal nimbly making its way towards him. He would place his hand upon the hammer's hilt upon his back before quickly relaxing the tension that had run wild across his senses. A small tunnel cat would scurry up to his right leg, nipping at it before he would extend his right hand to receive the letter from its maw. He would mutter to himself, about how few dwarves still remembered their messenger could be a meal and a way of passing knowledge as he moved the letter underneath his white hood for examination. His hands would shake from the cold as he opened the colorless message, breaking the crimson ornate seal before immediately pulling out the letter and quickly skimming over the sheet of paper. He would give a sly smirk, pocketing the letter within a pouch upon the belt present on his waist and picking up the cat by its torso before continuing off into the craggy mountains before him.
