You abuse images for your fell deeds, creature. Prepare to die by the blade.

As much as I hate Swgrclan with a passion rivaled only by the sheer force of a young Americas manifest destiny, this lore is pretty OKay and aids in the fellatiation of Nephilim. +1 to literal Ring Wraiths

Technically it is not FTB and therefore permitted by lore restrictions.

Mechanically (if you are into vore) it can still consume you and keep it in your stomach.

Please sheathe the claws and keep the discussion on topic.

A faithful recreation and explanation of what once was. I like it though I believe yet another dark magic isn't needed.

Can I get some clarification as to if it can eat any Dark Shaman regardless of tier? Can it only target Shamans lower on the totem pole of magic or can any get attacked and gobbled up? Past that +1. Some kind of self moderation will inevitably be needed and this one bites back hard.

(( i too am a fan of messy medieval rp onlin )) A representative of the local Traveler population inspects this paper before recalling that he does not know how to read. Instead, he smiles and draws a funny face on an envelope before drawing a crossbow on the parchment and hopes the Imperial courier service understood what he meant.

A vote for this lore is a vote for Nephilim. edit: spell my name right

It was meant to be a metaphor. My opinion remains to stand that this lore adds more unnecessary power to mages with no substantial draw backs or side effects.

I like it a lot.

I think it is more than a bit much. 6-8 bloodmages alongside transfiguration could literally turn a city into a pile of gold, no? Introducing more magical amplifiers is a very dangerous game.

It seems like an unnecessary addition that only further empower mages. I sincerely doubt the "drawback" will be roleplayed correctly.

I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Think this is better suited under guides, but it's nice to see someone attempting to lend a hand and point out the obvious to newer / inept players.

I too am a fan of Emperor Thaurissan

please come to school tomorrow if you aren't going to approve nephilim >:|

Perfect man to make Nephilim +1

probably the finest work of art i've ever seen +1 (((approve nephilim)))

Glad to hear some forward thinking progress going on! In that case, +1 from me - not as if it really means much, but as long as there's the chance of good RP coming from this I'm not one to argue that lore should be denied solely based off of the community it appeals to. Though there're still quite a few more lock and key rituals out there, one less is a step forward in my book. ((( approve nephilim )))

Appreciate the clarification. As for the first statement, my only issue is that these things are inevitably end up dead or held onto by one or two individuals (almost always the creator of the lore) and used as bargaining chips & yet another reason there's such a stark divide between people in "in" groups and independent players. It's more of a "why bother approving more masturbatory lore that does nothing for the community at large?" Suppose that if others can learn it without education by holders of the magic, I don't have too much of an issue with it. As long as it isn't held in a vice grip by yet another small assembly of players one could assume there isn't much of a pressing issue with it. Also, please don't try to mistake concerns with it's potential use with a problem about mages - it detracts from the point and really contributes nothing to the discussion. I think there's an inherent issue with granting a select group of players the ability to spread something at their will. Much like the (((Darkstalker))) ritual, it'll almost always be kept to said friend group and kept under tight guard. If this were distributed to several groups (or openly available via reasearch, which is what I'm garnering from your prior statement) - instead of one or several select parties from the same circles, I think it'd be much less pointless.

Honestly don't quite understand the point of making this an addition to official lore. The writing is on point and concise (which I can appreciate) but that doesn't really mean it's "good" for anyone except the inevitably small circle of players who will get their hands on the ability. At best it's irrelevant and kept to a select group of players within the typical clique. At worst, it's overused and is more of a novelty "get out of being PK'd mechanic" (not that we need any more of those in a reality that the monks still exist) from what I understand. but since it's probably going to be approved anyway: What happens if this was used on an individual with a shade parasite? Does it have no effect, does it split the malignant personality onto a phantom of it's own? Would the others retain the Shade parasite (if not the magic?) Read it through twice and didn't quite catch on. Are Phantoms only playable by the owner of the original character? Could multiple individuals play Phantoms of the same character?
