Accepted. Report to Siegrad.

Tarcell Othaman nods at the commissioning of the archer company. They would accomplish great things on the field of battle.

The Old Man pulls the new recruit aside. "You've been accepted lad. Report to Siegrad and locate an officer to tell you what to do next."

The Old Man takes the new recruit aside. "Ya have been accepted. Report to Siegrad and locate an officer ta' tell ya what to do next."

The Old Man takes the two aside. "You've both have been accepted. Report to Siegrad and locate an officer to be initiated."

The Old Man takes the two aside afterwards. "Ya are both accepted into the Brotherhood. Report to Siegrad and locate an officer to fill you in."

"The Highlander tournament has finished. The results are as follows. 1st. Bjorn Thivardrsson 2nd. Roric Volik 3rd. Lord Karl Barbanov Congratulations to the winners and all who fought."

The Old man calls Ingolfer back over. "Report to Siegrad and find an officer. Ya have been accepted."

The Old Man returns to them and brings them away from the crowd separately. "You all have been accepted. Report to Siegrad and find an officer to inform you what is next."

Marshal Tarcell Othaman looks over the men training below with a nod. They will become something great.

Tarcell nods in approval of his friend's house. They are good men and will do great things.

Ik Nug, and those who are made are essentially metagaming because it isn't known IG. Simply don't use the magic if you don't like it.

Not sure if this needs to be in the lore section. Cultures can be made in the RP section. Either way it's a +1 from me.

Yet, the Church is still at odds with many of the current clerics due to various reasons including the death of one of our bishops. It is irreverent; however, because this isn't some OOC way around it. This is a unique idea to be added to the Church in order to make it a bit more interesting.

To make it clear, this isn't the church saying "Since the Clerics won't give us magic, we are making our own!" This is my way of diversifying the Church which received a lot of feedback shown in this thread. https://www.lordofthecraft.net/topic/117104-what-do-you-think-about-the-church-of-the-canon/# The reason clerical magic wouldn't be the best choice is because it follows a deity the Church doesn't recognize. Jade, I highly doubt the Church would change the way it functions for a deity for magic. This would add diversity and not harm numbers from the clerics since the clergy and the clerics are too separate entities.

@Idephius The deity's goal is to gain followers and to be worshipped. As it mentioned, he thinks of himself as a god, and the best way to get there in his opinion is to pretend to be a worshipped one. @Swgr 1. Clerics and the Church are at odds at the moment. The chances of a cleric teaching a member of the clergy clerical magic are very slim. The chances that member of the clergy teaches it to the rest of the clergy after learning it are slimmer and would take many months. 2. I feel Cleric magic doesn't quiet fit with the Church while this adds a new flavor to it to keep it unique. 3. The two clerical deities are unrecognized by the Church and wouldn't be prayed to be the clergy.

The clergy would need to see the flesh. It isn't an instant zap of light to the brain which burns a hole through their head but rather a series of intense burns. I'll make an example. Tarcell closes his eyes, praying to Caharee for help in his follower's time of need. A slight glow emits from Tarcell's hand as his expression eases. A beam of Amber light strikes the attacker's face and neck area causing intense blistering and burning. Tarcell's hands would steam as the smell of burnt flesh wafts around. Tarcell ends the beam of light to hold his injuried hands to his chest. The attacker claws at his face on the ground in pain.

Foreword Thanks for all the feedback on the previous thread. A huge thanks to Elindor who basically fleshed out the idea from nothing and made it possible. Lore The Daemon Caharee wields the destruction of mortal flesh. If such ambition ever drove him, he could empty a city within minutes. However such temptations have never arisen. For his power over man may be great, yet he considers himself to be a god. Instead of scaring the mortals into worshipping him, as so many have done, he desires them to choose to worship him. And so, taking on the identity as The Creator who wove all life into existence, Caharee grooms his followers into devout followers whose worship is not hindered or shaped by fear, but instead in choice. And so, behind the closed doors of Holy chapels, he allows the most noble, holy and upstanding within the church to grasp a slither of his power. The power to destroy mortal flesh comes in the form of an amber glow. The intensity of colour will change with the severity of its power, so a light soft beam of white will do nothing to the body, while a more tinted yellow may burn at flesh, and a rich red orange eats away at bone. Caharee's power is ample to destroy a mortal man within a few seconds; however, to put such power in the hands of a mortal man would likewise destroy its user. The magical energy that can be wielded by Caharee's clergy is limited by them, the caster. So the differentiation between emotion, skin, blood, or bone must be made for the clergyman's own safety. This is considered to be the untouchable Holiness of The Creator. Because Caharee desires to be recognized as The Creator, his powers are not used for the evil that might instantly be dreamed up. He is, after all, posing as a being that created life, and he has no intention of blowing that cover by sowing destruction upon the mortals. In fact, he is so very interested in the acts of his followers that he grants them his power on a case-by-case basis when asked for. If the power sought for is to sear the skin, the clergyman will ask The Creator to appear in His holy presence that is more than our body's can withstand to be around. (A book detailing what to ask will be made. Possibly in another language similar to the dark language). If it pleases him to grant, then from the clergyman's hand will extend a ray of light with the specific intention called for. Conviction The lightest in saturation, this beam will bring upon its victim a fearful realisation of their own mortality. Similar to that "life flashing before your eyes" moment, the victim will feel as though death is very near for them. Swelling within them are emotions of great anguish for their wrongdoings. This is of great use for the clergymen of the church, as nothing brings forth genuine confession like the assurance of impending death. Restoration Infections, fevers or sickness can be eradicated. By asking for the appropriate form of destruction, whether in blood, muscle or organ, the infections are literally evaporated. However any cells that the foreign organisms have attached to are also lost in the process. Other use of such power can be wielded for healing, such as searing open wounds closed as well as curing dark taints inside one's body. Retribution The Creator's wrath is upon those who do great evil and seek to ruin all that He has created. When facing such evils Caharee may work through the clergyman towards the more obvious outcome of burning away flesh, blood or bone. It must be noted that the beams are extending from the clergyman's hand, and so continual exposure becomes harmful to the user. Caharee desires faithful devotion from his followers. Any tremor of faith is unacceptable, so to be sure of a clergyman's commitment he desires of them to undertake a religious ceremony. --Ceremony is a WIP-- Once proving their commitment Caharee will lend his ear to their requests. But their mortal hands cannot bare to contain his power. So a resistance is required. When alone in solemn prayer with hands raised, Caharee puts within a clergyman's palms the ability to resist the destruction. It burns the inside of their hands, leaving the unmistakable smell of cooking flesh, while the skin of their hands remains relatively unmarked. But meeting with The Creator is ever rewarding, and any devout follower would know that a small sacrifice is required as a test of faith. This resistance is temporal, as the hands will regenerate themselves over time. Daily prayer is an expectation in order to keep the side effects from marring the caster. The longer one sticks at prayer before Caharee the higher their threshold will grow. So rather than getting better at the magic over time, the clergyman instead grow more resistant to its effect on themselves. ~ After a week of prayer a clergyman would feel half of the effect upon their victim. ~ After a month of daily prayer a clergyman would feel the effect upon themselves after a a few seconds. ~ With a year of solemn and diligent prayer a clergyman could kill a man and only wear 1st- 2nd degree burns upon their hands.

Going to change it up a bit with some feedback I'm getting. Will update within a couple of days.

So could a magic different from Cleric magic and Druid magic be made from the same deity but is accredited to another source?

I'm not sure it woke like that because if so, wouldn't all the Aenguls including those two gang up on Iblees? Also, the magics covered such as multiplying food and exorcisms are not Druidic or Cleric. I'm currently fleshing it out with some people to make it more diverse as well.

Could it be said that we don't know where the source comes from or perhaps an Aengul but believe it's the Creator?

Not necessarily, just as the orcs have spirits who attest to Krug's existence, this would be similar. People could choose whether or not they actually believe the Creator does the magic, and that could make some interesting RP alone. As for the Wandering Wizard, the founder of the server made that lore. In my opinion, if the staff wants to change it then a replacement should be made. I'm going off what it was before there was any official replacement.

It says in the history of Lotc that a deity referred to the Creator exists. http://wiki.lordofthecraft.net/The+Ancient+History

Overview Similar to Clerical magic, Creator magic comes from the Creator in order for those who wield his power to do good. Those who use Creator magic can only use it with good intentions. Should it be attempted to be used for sinful actions, the user will find the magic incapable of working suddenly. Most of Creator magic is used for tasks of good, but on occasion, it can be used in order to fight evil being defined as something that wishes to cause physical or emotional harm to a loved one or good person. Tiers and Powers Tier 1: The user can form a small ball of holy light for a few seconds. Harmful animal or plants would begin avoiding the user as well (Ex: A pack of wolves might leave a user alone). This requires 1-2 weeks of good works and intense meditation. Tier 2: The user begins to become more proficient in their magic. A small ball of holy light can be sustained for more time. Also, /edible/ and beneficial plants will begin to grow faster in the user's presence. This is only at a small speed but tends to make a user's garden or farm look healthier. This requires 3-4 weeks of good work and intense meditation. Tier 3: The user is capable of creating medium sized balls of holy light for a sustained amount of time. A faint glow would emit from the user as the holy magic becomes more prominent within them. With intense focus, food can be multiplied to reasonable amounts which will cause exhaustion for the user. Exorcism's of dark magic can be preformed as well for those tainted of the same tier or lower. This requires good needs and intense meditation for 1-2 months. Tier 4-5: The user will be able to gently enforce good will on animals. Birds will perch on their arms, and animals will be drawn to this figure. Large balls of holy light can be formed for a reasonable amount of time as well. Food is multiplied easier as well still draining the user considerably. This requires over 2 months of hard work and dedication. Reasons and Benefits of Creator Magic Should this magic be accepted, it will be made a public magic for those who wish to learn it. Though it resembles Cleric and even Druid magic a bit, this would be a lower level magic in strength more public to the community. I hope this will be a good magic used to help fight the recent influx of dark magic seen in Iblees's return. The idea needs more fleshing out so add feedback below!
