But it is all about theme and consistency. In Arcanism's lore, if you have read it, it has everything to do with density and the changing of density. It is not mana or natural element. It is an evoked substance that is able to be shaped and reinforced or loosened. This is part of the core theme. What I am saying is that these few cleric spells do not fit the theme of the rest of the lore. If light is the substance you "evoke" as a cleric and there is no other mention of it condensing or harming gray-beings other than in one (maybe more its a lot of words) spot it is an irregularity. However Paladins weilding similar magic in condensed forms makes sense since it is apart of their core theme. But it doesn't really matter that its been around since Aegis. Seeing how all other magic from Aegis have changed it isn't a stretch to say this could too. The point of a rewrite is to bring up things that need changing and as a non-cleric this is the one thing I believe should at least be re-looked at. Also! Although dubbed and written by me In Anthos, Arcanism is a more distinct rehashing of the first magic used in Aegis. Not that I am attempting to pull seniority. Ski's point on how it can be too advantagous to have it unaffect gray-beings is the only solid argument I have seen so far as to why it should remain. This goes for chains of light as well. Clerics performing random checks on dark beings specifically is a problem addressed by our report system. Clerics doing tasked checkups on willing cities is just their roleplay. Thematically (in other realms and lore) war clerics usually substitute some of their magic power for mortal weapons. Is that not a common occurence here? Could the effect be different for gray-beings? Minor Rejuvenation?

What I understand from your comment is that its added to fill a weakness. In which case I offer a "why?" Again again. Two "dark beings" aren't affected by the combat magic de-taintifyer and so ALL beings have to be affected to make up for it? This lore and the theme of this lore has to do with light. Purifying light shaped into things. Its still light. Even if you condense it it shouldn't solidify. It just gets brighter, maybe hotter. I know it has been there forever but with all the talk about magic lately it seemed fitting that I bring up the one grievance I had. Cleric magic is strong and doesn't need Arcanism spells (because that is what it is in effect to those non-tainted beings. Aka a projectile that deals concussive damage) to fill its small gaps. Not that I am complaining about it being an Arcanism spell as I have always seen this type of magic to exist on a spectrum with arcanism and shade magic but when you actually dig into the lore it looks like a singular addition to further the holy power creep. In my opinion: Clerics > Dark beings Commonfolk > Clerics Dark Beings > Commonfolk But instead right now it is: Clerics > Dark Beings Commomfolk < Clerics Dark Beings > Commonfolk Give one up for the common man. Not trying to be forceful though. Just trying to get a point across.

Back to my first point: Why does Tah Cleric spells need to effect non-tainted descendents? Why should it harm them? No matter how you put it Light shouldn't really have an effect on things non-tainted and the like. Does anyone else feel this way?

It has always struck me as odd that war cleric spells can be used against descendents. Just your average joe should be safe from whatever holy magic is cast in my opinion. These are still your beefy melee fighters. Against your averae joe they really shouldn't need an up close advantage.

make me some badass armor-mage skin bro

Well when someone uses mana they usually experience fatigue much akin to exerting stamina. I guess I am not clear on if stamina and mana are seperable or not and thus confused as to how rejuvenating the stamina of the individual would effect them if they are still going to suffer from using a butt ton of mana for the familiar. Does this wording help at all with what I am trying to get at?

When one has their mana drained but their stamina rejuvenated what happens exactly? I think that may be the one thing that need clarification.

This lore is super dope but I feel as though "The Crusade's Vigor" is a bit much as it basically restarts the fight for the Xanite after using what seems to be a pretty strong spell. To clarify (as I am no expert) even though stamina is rejunevated their mana remains stunted from casting? I do love the idea of Holy Lion Familiars. So majestic dude!

What is your deal? I support lore and you **** on a fellow community member why? Please find some decency or some manners. Whatever you need to quit it. Celestialism isn't going to die. Not sure what problem you have but its here to stay & I find joy in having more and more magical beasts on the server whether they are celestials or not! BE POSITIVE. NOT A PUNK! edit: also sorry for replying to these comments on your thread. I really do enjoy the piece. Art always gets me going!

Was talking about he art being a cross breed magical beast thing. :-( Get off my back!!!

could be a celestial. do like Edit: as in the art is nice. I could easily use the art for a celestial. Thus I likethe piece & and am not saying this should be a celestial instead.

Within the confines of each Celestial Stone is said to exist a plane of existence unique to each entity. A realm of tranquility for those dislodged from the void and coiled into the mortal realm. What is it to exist within a gem vessel? Your life, your mind, your entire being encased in luminescent crystal. The ponderings of mortal minds may never come to comprehend what happens within the stones. “My poor friend, where have you gone?” He was alone in his thoughts, held within the imagery inside his mind. Boundless swarms of beings wrapped around him like a blanket, reaching out so that they too may find a shell to call home. Like a hermit-crab they yearned for a space bigger than their current form. The Shepherd gazed through his herd as if to locate something or someone. ___________________________________________________________ If only he knew what they did. Maybe his heart would not ache. That is an assumption. None know what happened. It is clear what happened. It’s presence is no longer felt. Maybe he could wretch them back from the abyss. Do you not think he has tried? I wish to comfort him but I cannot commune directly. To speak in mortal tongue. What a gift it would be. Yet we communicate quite frequently. They simply do not understand. Maybe they will in time? If there are any who can. It is the Shepherd. Wishful thinking leads to the demise of the mind. That doesn’t make any sense. Does any of this make sense? ______________________________________________________ Image existing within your singular realm. One of safety and comfort. One bathed in a resounding light. Only to watch as the sky darkens, cracks and gives way. The landscape around you cataclysms until there is nothing but darkness. A darkness that will swallow you up and deliver you to the feeding grounds from which you once escaped. One celestial had long been evicted from its sanctuary and thrown back into the abyss. Its stone crushed to dust. A misguided act of vengeance upon an innocent newborn to this realm. This untold story haunted the Shepherd. It was only after years of contemplation that he allowed himself to come to terms with the mysterious death of the Celestial. Within the confines of the Order a gentle resting place was mounted. A marked grave without the ashes of its owner labelled; * ~ Balthazar ~ *

Please don't use the term wisps. It's heavily used in Arcanism and since your aesthetic is basically the same it is going to be confusing.

I couldn't grasp what you were going on about but then I saw symbols and shapes and got excited

>Op says it is not gun so don't say it is >proceeds to write magic gun lore >mAGiC_cYLinDer Seriously though. It is even more of a gun than medeusculors. Even has ammo. I call it like I see it dawg. It's a frickin' wrist gun. Neat tho.
