What I am saying, and it seems no one is listening even though I am the lore holder for Arcanism (so sorry if this sounds angry), is that this book is not sufficient for self-teaching. STing is understandable if your tome is an actually good tome for learning and supplies you with adequate knowledge. I am making a fuss for more than just “derp I don’t like horror magic lore” because horror lore is great & viscously written.

I have seen the tome IG & actually you can see it via the SS. It isn’t viable enough. I am not trying to be a downer but Arcanism already has 100+ users and I have felt like quite a few have learned the magic by unattentive means already. MT must stop slacking when it comes to ST evidence & stop giving freebies or work out a system that is easier to get the necessary work done. You are making a civil cat act like an derpstick** and it is not cool.

Horrors need to see the magic being casted and learn that way I thought. 

There is a reason arcanism cannot be self-taught and I have explicity cited that tome as being insufficient. The only sufficient part of it, and you even SSed it, is that it tells you to find a damn teacher. 

I do not agree with horrors using a magic guide to Metagame their magic in. I listed on the guide that it is not applicable ICly for a reason. So yeah, I am not in favor of this. Sorry. 

P.S. it does have specific spells to list and it is important to know those spells so you know how to do similar things without Powergaming.

I would have been on board but you said you are versed in Celestialism lore and so i gotta call lies! You left us before you could learn stuff. Though you likely know more than the average person just by contact it wouldn’t be much use as you would still have to come to me. A silly thing to put on an app. Sometimes less is more.

Medeusculors were extremely difficult to obtain and centered around needing high level ooc magic friends to get them, comparing them to something anyone can get if they put enough time in, is preposterous.

Anyone could research and craft a medeusculor

A missive is penned. How you come to read it is thoroughly up to you.

We are all just off-shoots from the same river, reaching different basins by different means. It is those streams that stagnate and fester that we should worry ourselves with. Each descendant race have suffered different curses and received different boons and so it is natural that we have all sought out different the pillars of order within these lands. Those varying pillars and institutes that fight back the old dark of the abyss strengthen the realm against eventual tides of corruption. For one pillar to strike another will cause the entire foundation to quake and the floor to give way to the infernal realms below our collective feet. Remember who the true enemy is for it is not the followers of God or the Aspects. It is not the All-Father and his patrons or the Spirits of Orc and Elf. It is not the blessed-sent healers or the devote followers of justice and purity. It is the darkened, the abyssal blight and the users that bring murder and absolute chaos.

Look not west but south for rivers run green with infection and castles sprout like tumors against the ice wall. We have seen this image time and time again and for those who live longer we must see this cycle repeat endlessly. Our varying paths will lead a multi-pronged assault against the evil of our realm. Bastion yourself against the dark. For you are all my brothers and sisters against the risen dead and daemonic vessels of dread.

 True true. Tbh it was the name that sparked the mostly joking idea. Dissonance from the void for these Ressonant Knights!! #spooksgetnooks

If you aren’t weak to holy maybe you should be weak to voidal. Just for fun and stuff. 

But knowing others are able to sex the popsicle ladies is the only thing that gives my gay boi heart a reason to beat anymore. 

I don’t understand the point. What is the main point? Am I missing something or is it just too similar to feats in cognatism?

I am also gonna play the villain here and say I don’t like that they have what you call “heightened aura.” You added this but there doesn’t seem to be any reason other than to add to a list of things they do. Is it in the OG lore too?

Archons and Celestialists have heightened aura and both of them (moreso in Celestialism) have effects and interaction with that change that occurs. Adding in this effect may seem harmless but I believe it would come to be muddying or what so many others have called “lore bloat.”

edit: I enjoyed the in OG lore how subtle it was and how it was really just an expansion and way of thinking about meditation RP. I think this may be an unnecessary step to an otherwise solid lore piece. 

2 major issues with this piece:

1.) this is a knockoff archon with less accessibility, more reliance on staff intervention, and less opportunity to involve others in RP.

2.) there is a bias in this piece. The persistent pessimism and negativity towards  void magic is an OOC bias that needs to stop. Its a nuetral thing and so much oppressive writing as of late is really bogging down on actual opportunities to provide voidal RP.

Oh nvm then. All hail PoliceAli

((This is absolutely stunning! Please do a video of the Celestial Order!!))

There is just community bias here in the regards to RP that literally has nothing to do with you. 

So my counter proposal (because the Lore doesn’t make sense) is that plant will produce a plant. Female plants will have babies that are plants. This should be a purer form of byrophite. However should a male plant do the thing the offspring is 100% the non-plant parent. So base it off the mother. Give meaning to their roleplay instead of limiting it because your poor feels are triggered. #sass 

Can I ban this player? 

I guess like it (moreso the art. Archons have always felt a but weird to me) but why did you specifically add a way to eat celestials. q_q

Mages. Do. Not. Wither. 

I like him better than you. 

Dude you are undergaming by the way. A missle to an unarmoured head has a chance to incapacitate. A beam to armor will do damage if they decide to take it head on. Its blunt force magic. Don’t be a noob. 

I don’t agree with the horror blood one. Why would horror blood have a painful effect on mages? Also horror blood isn’t supposed to last. When it is spilt or the horror dies the blood eventually dissipates. That is why it is a hard ingredient to use in blood magic despite its boons. 

My issues: 

Neck of the veilslinger - The ability to see the flow of mana is not a voidal feeling thing, I believe. It’s from Celestialism. Feels a bit toe-steppy.

Left-Glove: Enchanted shields cannot normally be altered & when they break will more than likely do “the shattering” effect. Is another spectator mind on this too?

My last issue is how does a character process 360-zoom and a full set of super powered armor?

I hope I am not seen as clique-y. I taught a few friends Celestialism so that I could easily monitor and communicate its initial growth. Arcanism has become the thematic cultural magic of the high elves and while it is teacher-locked I still see a healthy diversity of applications being processed. So while I don’t really teach arcanism that much it is available to those who try & for the most part Celestialism is available as well. Obviously meant to be a more well-gaurded/rare magic RPly if you have arcanism you can learn Celestialism.

The issue I have seen personally is with students who want magic not because it will create RP for others but because they want different ways to roflstomp others. If you RP magic and don’t offer anything besides the ability to kill people with it I believe you are being a bad magic RPer.
