I'll try to compile a list of issues I have as well, but I guess one thing I don't quite understand is why do the rewrite in the first place? I know you sort of explained it, but limiting the number of dark creatures isn't happening here since they will still exist, and uhh... ghosts aren't really dark creatures. If nothing else, this rewrite seems unnecessary?

As someone who is eventually planning on playing a former character as a ghost, I would rather not see these changes passed.

This lore seems needlessly restrictive. Folks have generally gotten some creative license on how to RP half-breeds, beyond the whole "they get both curses and lose any blessings that contradict" thing, and I think it would be best if it stayed that way. This lore isn't necessary.

Seems fine to me, I think what's important is that auras remain aesthetic and up the the individual's choice how they appear. This doesn't change that, so I'm personally supportive.

Definitely a big fan of this addition. When people complain about all the improvements and increases in certain magics, those who benefit from them generally just say that any other group could similarly expand their reach if they just write lore for it. Time for the LT/MT to put their money where their mouth is on that one. Also, I don't really see why Tahariae wouldn't be cool with this. Tah doesn't compel his followers to destroy golems or familiars because his definition of purity is narrow and specific such that it only really deals taint and corruption causing impurity. This really doesn't fit those criteria at all.

I don't think the history should be this thoroughly defined, at least in a public way. Also, this seems a bit wonky given that Axios would have been a part of Aegis, unless that was somehow done away with which would be even more wonky.

This tile, save for the island, is still a part of Haelun'or.

This seems totally unnecessary, in my opinion. We don't need more means to ICly remove someone due to inactivity or IC disagreements with the "leaders" of these groups. They're just OOC mechanisms to trim folks people dislike.

Oh one other thing if someone hoards the tomes in lore they poof away so you're quite literally incapable of holding the tome forever and refusing to share.

Not going to lie, this is way better than anything I would expect from you, Fate. Better than any antagonist idea I've heard in the past half year that wasn't devised by Freema. I really hope we end up going with one of Freema's ideas though...

This should probably be kept to use via tome of power in my opinion. That being said, the argument is undermined when a couple LMs just come in and go "lol you salty breh."

I'm not gunna lie, this seems a bit messed up. Like, when you got clotted, it was pretty apparent that you were frustrated because you lost your magic over something that wasn't hard abuse, which disconnection is generally reserved for exclusively extensive misuse or betrayal of a deity. Essentially always, lore for forcefully taking away someone's magic has been reserved to times when they're either going explicitly against their deity or when they're causing tremendous problems with their use of the magic, and because of that, this lore shouldn't be accepted without those stipulations. Hopefully as someone who has literally faced the problem of magic removal being misused and sought recourse, you can recognize why this should continue.

Aerial, I know you were at the wrong end of a very abusive clotting a long while back, without any compelling RP reason other than the person not liking you, and performed in a shitty way. So my question is basically what's caused you to propose this, and how do you foresee it being used? I just always worry when disconnection methods pop up for magics, because they have a tendency to be misused, and have a huge effect when that happens with virtually no ramifications on the person who uses them.

There's no reason this should be an issue, your soul isn't messed up at all by runesmithing since the rewrite happened. Back when I was LT, there was no issue with things like this, so I see no reason why one should pop up now. I imagine if you consulted Dizzy, he'd back this up.

3.5/10 boring

I'm reconsidering my stance of #unfreekincaid.

Haelun'or is no longer an Uthiriate, so I'd advise swapping it to the Silver State of Haelun'or.

This is too much. Mages already RP physical weakness and if they don't you can report them. But they're not scrawny weaklings that will break in half when you punch them.
