  1. There won’t ever be a way to define roleplay into a neatly explained package as the permutations involved in every unique situation would go on into the infinite of possibility. 

    Common sense and co-operative roleplay was always championed in the past, something the newer generation of LOTC must learn once more it seems.

    What magic(s) will you be teaching?

    Celestialism

     

    Summarise the Lore of this magic(s):

     

    Celestialism is a feat within the realms of Arcanism to do with the higher knowings of the Arcane. It involves several different practices and is considered an ongoing process of discovery for all involved. In order to become a celestialist one must master the arts of Arcanism to a degree unmatched by others, and only once they have may they truly hear the calling. A magical connection across an endless bridge of stars that calls to those gifted in the higher arts of the arcane allowing them to transend what they once knew of Arcanism and allowing them to tap into the greater Aura. 

    Celestialism involves many practices, but the most important one is to do with the creation and binding of familiars, which is an long drawn out and indepth process requiring countless materials in order to create specially created Arcanism stones. These stones unlike normal Gemstones require that a Celestialist has mastery not only Arcanism but Transfiguration as well. Celestials are creatures of the void, similar to Voidal horrors however instead of evil beings bent on the destruction of our world they are creatures of peace. 

    Binding a celestial requires the creation of a special MART application and needs to be approved by the celestial order as well as the lore team, each celestial has different powers and abilities requiring careful thought goes into them in order to prevent powergaming. 

    Celestialism also involves the creation of Mana Gardens, crystal gardens created from taking the celestial arcanism stone bound to a celestial and plunging it into the earth to create crystal fauna, an arcane infused plant life that helps to generate mana over time, mana required in order to create the much more complex creations of the celestialists. 

    Celestialists would find that their Arcanism is unmatched compared to any other once they have taken to walking down the path however the price is that they go down a tier in all Arcane magic except Arcanism and Transfiguration. 


    Celestialists are capable of “reading” the auras of those gifted with magic, as well as being gifted with a sight that allows them to see beyond what normal sight would allow, letting them see things that are magical in nature. Aura sight allows the Celestialist to perceive traces of ambient magic with ease. This largely functions in event-led encounters as a form of arcanic-based inspection/divination.

    Celestialists are capable of melding with fellow Arcanism users called “Greater melding” that allows a celestialist to lead a band of fellow arcanism users in a combined incantation allowing them to combine their mana effectively to create more powerful and larger scale arcanism spells (the size and strength of which increase for every additional arcanism mage involved). Such as creating a colossal shield to encompass a city or to create super charged bolts of Arcanism to give an example. 

    Aura melding also causes a side effect called Aura tracking. The celestialist gains intimate knowledge of those they meld with and can use this information to pick out key characteristics within that person’s aura later on. Celestialists cannot change their aura colour at will to another they can however enchant objects they have melded with. With OOC permission you can see the traces of aura characteristics left behind from past meldings upon those involved. Especially when it comes to enchanted goods which allows for checks for authenticity. Aura tracking degrades over time and it becomes impossible to track after 2 IRL weeks from the melding date.



    Celestialism is very difficult to summarise, if required I could provide more detailed examples or perhaps lesson examples but I feel I have an adequate understanding of the magic, as well as access to those whom can help me out if I get stuck on anything or make sure I’m doing it right.

  3. Why not force raids to be planned and co-ordination between both parties hammering out goals, reasons, times etc in order to make the experience more co-operative? 

    After all this is an RP server, the entire point is that it is meant to be co-operative play. If you can't co-operate and come to a reasonable solution or agreement in order to come up with terms that would be acceptable for both sides then one, I don't think players like that should be in any sort of positions of power where they are actively making these choices after all as nation leaders you have to be willing to co-ordinate with other nation leaders or else you won't solve anything, and two perhaps players that can't co-operate shouldn't be interacting with each other in such a provocatively antagonistic manner on both sides in the first place. 

    It all seems rather silly to me to be quite honest how both sides are acting. It is completely against the spirit of what an RP server should be about when you start deliberately segregating people into "us" vs "them". It's nonsensical, you should be working together in order to drive the RP forward not cause it to entirely break down because you're both too pig minded and selfish to see anything other than your own point of view.

    [RP]

    Name: The Wizard Blundermore

     

    Gender: Male

     

    Place of Residence: The Tower of Untold Whispers, Upon the White Isle of the Sanctuary bay. 

     

    Race/Subrace/Culture: Human, Ascended, Haven/Alras

     

    Type of Magic: Arcanism, Transfiguration, Illusion, Lore of Winds, Ascended Magic

     

    Why do you want to use magic within the Princedom?:

    "After having a lengthy discussion with the gate guard and one of the princes of Fenn it had been brought to my attention that there was a new law in place that foresaw the need to limit the use of magic within the Fenn, and that the Ascended were not welcome due to matters unknown to myself. I came under no guise nor with the intent of causing harm or giving a reason to be mistrusted however and was permitted entry however on being told about the laws of the city I declined being admitted until I could properly fill out the legal requirements as I carry numerous Enchantments as well as natural affinities to magic that would find myself on the wrong side of the law if I was to step into the city. 

    Thus I am writing this letter of application to gain license so that my nature will not obstruct the course of the laws of the Fenn by being there. Though truly it is merely my intent to continue where I left off with the Fenn when I shared a shop with another there and perhaps eventually I may if permitted be allowed to reopen such a shop once more. 

    With Regards

    The Wizard Blundermore"

  7. The old Wizard would snore loudly in his chair as he becomes bored of reading such large amounts of complete and utter rubbish dribbled out of the end of a rats arse. Content in knowing that a Heretic of Aeriel had been delt with and that Aeriel's will has been done. Never again shall the false Tyrant Belestram threaten her most holy domain with his vile presence. Knowing that the day will come when Belestram would meet his own fate upon the Black Deserts of the Soulsteam and that all of this would be for naught. 

     

    His family was safe, and that is all that matters now. 

     

    The old Wizard turning in his chair would settle in for a good night's rest within his study...

    However it is my plan to remain with the order in order to gain access to knowledge and experience of those whom have already walked the path.

     

    How did you learn this magic(s)?:

    I was taught Arcanism quite a while ago by Grungron Irongut originally as a means to combat an increasingly growing number of Arcane mages in the service of darker powers such as Mordring at the time I was learning the arts of Arcanism. However as time went on and Blundermore became more experienced he started to delve into the deeper matters of the arcane until eventually he found himself at the limits of its potential, or so he thought.

     

    He is one of the first pioneers of the art of Transfiguration, being one of a handful of the original practitioners of the art of Transfiguration and is well versed in it to a degree that would rival even immortal beings and mythical creatures alike. (Been doing the magic since the implementation of the magic system in early Asulon and was one of the handful of first generation teachers of the magic.)

     

    MC name of OOC overseer (Note: they must either have a TA in this magic on any character or be a member of the MT):

    Brandnewkitten (Iat the Shepherd) will be my OOC overseer.

     

    Offer an explanation of the magic(s) you are learning:

    Celestialism is the next step upon the road of the Arcanist to surpass the limitations of what is generally conceived as being the height of Arcanism. To push beyond the boundaries of knowledge and cross a fresh hold that leaves the user changed forever more. It is many things, from binding celestial familiars (creatures from the void that are drawn to the essences of greater Arcane Auras) using Arcanist stones to the creation of Crystaline gardens using Arcanist stones to seed the creation of such works of the Arcane. It also unlocks greater aspects of the Arcanism magic itself such as more complex constructs created from Arcanism and transfiguration together. There is quite a lot to Celestial Arcanism but the point of the magic is to expand and explore into the deeper reaches of the Arcane as opposed to just gaining new abilities. It's a process to enrich the experience of Magic over giving flat out buffs and is supposed to take a heavy toll upon your character as it changes them over time.

     

    Provide evidence you've a proper means of learning this magic(s):

    I've been in contact with the Celestial order for quite a while now and have recently progressed to the rank of Magus within the Celestial Order.

    I've spent my time since joining the order taking every step possible to learn as much as I could about purpose of the celestial order, their means and methods, how they conduct themselves, what celestials are, how they exist in our realm, been shown the Greater Aura that Celestialism users have on more than one Occasion and how that works. Been described the process leading up to the "metamorphosis" in a bit of detail in drips and drabs by different members of the Celestial order whom all possess Celestialism and finally most recently been bound to a Celestial Familiar which was an experience which has brought Blundermore closer to the metaphorical edge of the precipice that he has been standing on for so long now without a means of knowing how to step off, melding entirely with Iat, the founder of the Celestial Order he saw for the briefest of moments what Celestialism truly was in a mere glimpse but it was enough to help fill in the final gaps of what was missing in order to undertake the process himself.  The Familiar binding process as well to his new Familiar Synica leading to a heightened awareness of the connection shared between Celestialism users and their celestials.

     

    In truth the reason for why he pursues this course is because of a theory he had written in a tome marked "The Spirit of Magic" in which displayed the idealism and philosophy that magic was not a tool and that it was in a ways 'alive', a companion if you will to be respected and to be our guide, he has always believed that there was more to the Arcane than what many called mere 'science' at the time.  He took these ideas that the world was not as it seemed with him for over two hundred years when suddenly he began to feel a strange urge once he had master the art of Arcanism itself, a sense that he was being drawn towards something he did not otherwise know truly what it was. He had spent a long time searching for what exactly it was that was urging him onwards until he heard of the Celestial Order and how as Mages, they had achieved some sort of enlightenment he thought was what he seeked. The idea of spirituality and mysticism within the Arcane beyond the sciences made manifest within the walls of that very order, and though he did not find exactly what he thought he would, beyond those walls he would be was forever changed by what he truly saw. seeking to study the path of the "spirit of magic" and find out once and for all what was calling to him from beyond the stars.

    It has been a long drawn out process conducted over nearly two months now of studying the ways of the order and cobbling together fragments of knowledge to form what is required to take that step off the precipice and onwards into whatever awaits him beyond.

     

    I can attest that I've spoken to Korus_prime, captain_sheepy, Thomas (Tahmas?) and Brandnewkitten's characters several times ICly about this topic in varying degrees.

     

    I agree to the two week penalty that exists in learning Celestialism and thus will not be capable of casting magic once the state of change begins. However I may enforce a third week upon myself due to the fact I will be leaving for about five days next week so it wouldn't be entirely fair to miss out a week without magic because I didn't log in...

  10. But wait... Leylines have been a thing since Aegis and is what partially forms "pools" and "lakes" that we call Voidal nodes. Are you telling me they don't recognize that lore anymore? Leylines crisscrossing across reality forming a next of which all of creation is pretty much based on as a foundation that keeps the world intact through mystical means? 

  11. I never realized how much making children and who can make children mattered so much on this server... I mean especially these arguments about biology it seems. You do all realise you're on a fantasy server with magic right? Science doesn't hold as much credence as it's being given credit for. 

    I have to agree with some of the comments here, some people on the server really do need to stand back and actually read what they're typing and ask themselves what the hell are they doing.

    "What on Aegis is a Feral? In my time calling anyone a Feral meant they more often than not were being accused of sleeping with their sheep on long lonely nights out in the stables. Has someone made a religion out of sheep buggery now as well? 

    Honestly the world is going mad..."


    *The old Wizard would say as he sits alone in his study reading over the missive not too sure what exactly this is all about as light from the stars themselves hang from the ceiling illuminating the room with a celestial glow*


     

  13. Last time you were the head lore master you wrote a personal character into being an Undead immortal Drakaar city sized god with his own personal realm who was also written into being not only the antagonist of the server but also the God of all Undead as well. You then used your GM/LM powers to pretty much do whatever you wanted as mordring including literally tping to people who said your name using GM keylogging. Of which you did several times to myself alone. Or you consistently showed up to random events or rp that didn't even involve you and suddenly try to make the whole thing revolve around your own character. The biggest issue was as you did all this literally no one could even do anything to stop you at all because you, as the head LM and an GM, wrote yourself into pretty much being a God which made interactions with your character pretty much infuriating and pointless. It was pretty much "Watch me show up and RP /at you/ whilst you pretty much just sit and watch, not able to actually do anything". 

     

    It would've been fine if it wasn't for the fact that mordring pretty much was being played as a personal character that could do anything. Including having your own personal untouchable base for you and your close friends in the abyss of which only a gm could access to mention another thing you did.

     

    I'm sorry but you horrendously misused the staff power given to you really on several notable occasions, you weren't even meant to have GM pex and you certainly weren't meant to be using GM pex the way you were using it, the only reason you had it was because there wasn't a pex for a lore team leader to add new lore team members to the lore team pex in game but you misused this pex anyways under the guise of using it for an antagonist role.  Though maybe a lot of people now might not remember it, myself and others still do and I really cannot morally endorse this application. 

     

     

    Screenshots where you randomly showed up after a mini event was pretty much concluded and didn't actually involve you at all and just started summoning the Drake Satar just because.
