In all seriousness though when it comes to LOTC this is unique. I like the idea although I feel it needs more refining before we turn it into a server antag.

Perhaps you should add something in the actual lore pertaining to such.

So is this creature meant to be a player based creature, or for the ET?

Erm...so what's its weakness, because it seems to me this thing can take down regiments... REGIMENTS of soldiers????? Don't get me wrong, it'd be nice to have an ET creature for the countless, vast, and empty snowy mountains we have. This however needs to be refined.

The community needed this, thanks.

If the persons soul is altered to the point they can't even use voidal magic, holy magic should hurt them nearly as much if not the same amount as most other dark creatures.

I personally feel that the tendrils should be removed and any evocations that the atronach uses should have the effects specified in the shade lore for that specific evocation.

I'm just trying to understand a few things that you could maybe clear up. What makes this any different then someone enchanting a staff to do this? Besides literally inducing diseases on people (which not even most dark magics can do), this seems similar to a lot of what we already have. Not only that, it concerns me that people can carry around these glyphs and literally point and shoot black death inducing spells at people in a cone shape. So you're telling me you can walk into the entrance of a tavern, point it in and throw a debilitating city killing serious disease spell to a group of individuals? Don't get me wrong, the premise is interesting and it'd be nice to see some human based magic. That being said I think you went about it the wrong way.

I hate to be blunt but this seems like a combination of a lot of magics we already have.

5.8/10, not original :/

Sigh, we already have a form of vampires sorry.

Thus why I suggested the personality change over a blood lust killing spree. It'd make for some interesting character development and for some unique rp.

ptsd from the Kalenz days

Arguably mental magic as it stands is way more controlling then illusion is currently.

I've also been using illusion for several years now, let me know if you want any input.

I never considered phantasms as inserting emotions, I like to think of it as a nudge to something that's already there. Altering emotions? Maybe but taking a magic that's known for being power gamed and adding that to its already large portfolio may cause issues. IDK though, I'd like to hear what the LT have to say about it.

I don't know how I feel about this.

For starters I like this idea, and I think it could add alot and could be fun for a large range of players...but something like this has the potential to be abused quite a bit and I think it needs to be more refined then it currently is. One thing I'm afraid of is the above, yeah it's cool but it could also be construed as quite cringey if not rped properly. Sorry but it's true. I'd suggest turning active glowing eyes into bioluminescent or passive phosphorescent eyes and not making it an ability, it'd make more sense in my opinion but it's up to you. If I'm being honest, as a player run creature this is pretty op in my opinion. Hearing heartbeats, and smelling creatures from that far away people will get pretty pissed off. You literally couldn't sneak up on them ever, you're not giving players a chance period. Why gold? Aurum is usually reserved for creatures of the dark. IDK why this just seems weird, or off in some way. New creatures are supposed to create rp, killing everything as a super wolf doesn't create rp really. Killing people just ends it...explain how this could be fun. For all parties involved. Not only that it goes against the balance you mention a few times through the lore. So you're telling me these things can cut through steel plate with their teeth and claws? What? Why? As a side note I think it'd be a good idea to add some sort of personality influence from this. If you've ever read the wheel of times you know what I'm talking about. Perhaps after several years they have trouble telling the difference between wolf and human forms, and act more aggressive in their human form, perhaps even succumbing to their wolf like nature after a very long time. As it stands it's a pretty op creature and even as an ET creature it's pretty powerful. It needs to be nerfed a bit if you want to get this accepted in my opinion or people may be upset. I'd also suggest when it comes to their powers, that in human form it's only slightly enhanced. Also if you do it properly and nerf it down you won't need to be as weak in your human form. Bone diseases? You'll be walking around like a cripple...how's that make for fun rp? Not to mention you note rapid healing during transformation, wouldn't this 'solve' alot of the bone diseases going to and from lycan form? Sorry if you feel like I'm being too harsh, it's just my opinion. Something like this fits into the fantasy realm of lotc, you just need to get it right. Good luck and feel free to pm me if you want any help or just quote me on the forums!
