Unfortunately this lore has been denied— citing a lack of a need for new creatures given the douzens of unused ones we have right now. Sorry for any inconvenience. If you have any queries PM me.

The original lore worked on all typed of magic spilt into two subtypes. But, that was when mages could only have 1 archetype. The introduction of "exceptions" (which happened every 4 months any time anyone revised their lore) as well as the removal of the MAT meant that it became worthless— since any mage encountered would have an exception magic. Tempered fi' put an end to the fact that a player like MagicPastry could go up to nearly any event character, real character or any other character and end up being told "lol I have this one magic which you can't drain" so I'll just use that... And your magic draining magic is useless. (Hyperbole). The point is, the old form was viable until (someone) removed the MAT. Then, the proliferation of magic, and exceptions, made it kind of worthless. The notion that this has been powergamed, and that you were unaware, are both untrue— I will claim. Given... I said that clearly (as that was the main point of the lore) and given no powergaming reports ever have been introduced.

Please... Reference me this RP you saw practiced in which a Tempered mage ever used a weapon or physical strength. Because, I assure you, this hasn't even happened. My assumption is they, like the things you wrote the other day— should not be simultaneously casting and doing physically-intense things. If you were told "multiple times" any of this, then you were lied to. That RP never occurred. The Owl never killed any dark mage with tempered Fi. Only Zerg rush gold weapons. There were 3 Tempered Fi' mages. None of them ever attacked anyone with Tempered Fi'. Anything to the contrary is part of a circle-jerk lie.

With the tied vote of Treshure's modification to Fi' lore and other comments, a revision and/or clarification of Tempered Fi' was requested. It is rendered below. The Tempering of Souls The Fi’ who so wander this world are not those who had done so in the past. The ancient art, riddled in mystery and ritual had been lost to time— lost to the gradual dispersion of the once proud Elibar’acal. And yet, the Golden Veil cracks. There was wealth to be found in this realm of Vailor, and not wealth of jewels… But wealth sealed within a Golden Tomb. Comparisons As compared to Untempered Fi', Tempered Fi' is less efficient at draining magic (as established in the original Tempered Fi' lore). While an Untempered Fi' mage, who notably specializes in their magic type, and does have a soul directly latched to them, a Tempered Fi' mage is less specialized and does not have a soul directly latched to them. The notion one needs to "remove the Holy nature" of Tempered Fi' remains unfounded. The "Holy" interpretation is an IC one. Just like "Dark Magic" is also an IC interpretation. To clarify Tempered Fi' lore, these practitioners still suffer the Schizophrenic-like tendencies of their Untempered Fi' kindred. However, they are more muted— given the soul is not attached to them directly. No where does this say this is absent. To summon from undisclosed lore— a Tempered Fi' mage can be disabled by the capture of their Orb. It will dissipate when too far from them. Another sacrifice is required to reforge the Orb. An Untempered Mage can not be disabled. An untempered Fi' mage can still learn both subtypes. A Tempered Fi mage may construct a soul-library (a device with which to store an Orb without it dissipating in their absence). A Tempered Fi' mage is less physically strong than a normal individual. They are stronger than mages. If one imagines a mage as 50% as strong as a regular person (in terms of physical strength) a Fi' mage is 75% as strong. A tempered Fi' or untempered Fi' user can not sense dark magics. This is not read anywhere on the lore, and was already a settled matter. Just as a Cleric, Ascended, or Shade can't sense one another. Soul afflictions can still be rended with OOC permission. Enchanting still makes you ill. Weapon forging is removed. It was never a role-played element and, upon initial acceptance of the original lore, was removed for it lacked lore. This has never been a part of Tempered Fi'. The only weapon forging is for the ritual. If it is to be made, lore will be written. As always. It is also worth noting the revision proposed by Treshure significantly empowered, rather than Reduced Fi'. Given it removed the exceptions of the various magics which, over time, wrote their lore to exempt themselves from "Acaele" Fi'. Consequentially, an Untempered Fi' mage under Treshure's lore is able, without sacrifice of power, to simply learn both subtypes of Fi' and drain more efficiently all magics than a Tempered Fi' mage— their only sacrifice being physical strength— which is irrelevant as they can already drain the energies of a mage and stab them to death even if they are not summoning magic.

I recant my statement! After a brief chatarooni... I realize I was just confused by the way it was phrased. tl;dr Your juice has water, and I can't read.

I will be honest, and say I have not read the whole lore yet. However, the fact it is written this magic does not use mana, is akin to saying "this juice has no water". Magic on LotC requires mana. Without water, it is not juice. Without mana, it is not magic. This lore can not pass while this remains as-written.

This lore is written without the curse of knowledge in mind. Perhaps an introduction begining with what this is as opposed to its limitations would be easier to understand.
