Lol mineman religion can’t even magic

None of the spells have balanced emote counts.

This feels unbalanced. These abilities offer too many capabilities over non-magical combat & I think it will lend to issues in comparison to the other elements. The concept is fricking cool though so if balanced abilities can be agreed upon it will make for some aesthetic rp that I can get behind.

It’s funny, my magic gets slapped as being an “everything” magic but all these shade Rewrites & additions are literally an everything magic.

Unfortunately until Paprika is added I cannot support this wonderful magic.

I miss the Red Realm +1

Can I dibs first post & edit later?

where do I sign up?

this Idea along with the effects of oiling weapons should be redlined & removed. It doesn’t seem balanced.

I checked with some peeps and we are pretty sure that only proper nouns are capitalized. Even the start of sentences are not capitalized.

(( it isn’t english grammar )) Mani are so cool. I want more. Do Mani travel from map to map with us?

Your spells that deal with manipulating other characters souls will need an emote or two more for balancing reasons, I believe.

People hoard mina. Voting is the only way casuals like myself will ever get any.

I can’t tell why the ST seem to enjoy trash-talking my lore (and me, I guess?). It was good enough to be used for almost 8 years. It’s not that the lore is bad. It’s that the current ST regime wants things in a specific format. A format that is impossible to know how to balance. Especially when everything used to be balanced by just talking it out with the other players you are roleplaying with aka collaborative storytelling. Not to mention that in the guide I tried to give as many examples & emote sequences as I could muster (but I realize now that I never finished for arcanism.) What I can say is this; - We are tired of seeing ST post pretentious messages on Lore Threads. This server doesn’t belong to you. - I have gone through multiple iterations of my own rewrite since lore games started. I’m a busy boy IRL and put my rewrite down for long periods of time because I am only semi-active. I have at least a dozen different starts of a lore doc but it’s a lot of ******* work. - We ALL had to wait nearly a year for the ST to give the necessary information to begin writing anything. So attacking people for taking a year is hypocritical. - I got burnt out on all the new regulations and how shitty It was dealing with the ST so I gladly passed the torch on to anyone willing to write their version & continue to support/offer commentary for those that have been doing so. - The ST lore game discord was a toxic place & many of the ST promoted **** talking in there just like you are doing here. -Of course people are angry about a potential wipe & it isn’t the duty of everyone using the magic to participate in the writing process. Especially not when we have had some form of rewrite up since Autumn 2019. ______ I don’t really care if your message is directly pointed at me or just other arcanists posting here. It’s not an attitude any of us want to deal with from the ST. And Arcanism IS a helf cultural magic. It’s often used much like shamans might use their magic in orc culture. It’s understandable for them to be upset about a wipe. Especially when it can take half an IRL year to get into a magic. Though those helves should rest assured that should a wipe happen I would begin teaching again to help them out. As for the intentions of Kalehart with this piece. I don’t have anything to comment other than that Kalehart approached me before posting. That warrants some level of respect from me to this piece, despite not agreeing with the aesthetic direction. Namely taking it from a crystal aesthetic ans turning it into a void-scarred-unsound type of vibe.

Don’t boss me around, bucko! criticize**

I didn’t watch it.

So we should hire Zac.... and not you.

“As the original lore creator I have differing views on the aesthetic & mechanics of this lore piece. However Kalehart approached me & I respect the work they have put in to craft this reimagining of the lore. I will eventually release my version of the updated lore, but this at least offers us a fresh take, and was done so respectfully. ✊ “

You need to go to jail. HURRY. GO.

People still RP crossbows as OKO. They will do the same with guns despite it being against the rules. Punishment for improper or abusive gameplay/powergaming has never been consistent enough. They need emote counts just like magic.

YES! The type of knowledge dump we all craved! Let’s write a frickin book about Anthos, bud!!

Iblees didn’t return until the next realm, Athera, after we accidentally let him out of his confinement within an ancient dwarven metropolis. Clerical/Paladin magic was a thing in the human kingdoms but as a DM I would limit other magic unless you find a lore reason for it to be there. Maybe they were beginning magic training but the mage’s guild kicked them out? In Anthos a great surge of magic allowed many to self-teach magic. This expanded into a metaphorical tsunami of self-teaching during the fringe.
