Finally, the rise of spoopy duck

Aurelion Vulnrith, lost to his wanderlust was called home by the grim din thrumming through the song, one after another. It would be days more of pressing travel before he came upon the woodlands of Iryalen, before he had crossed paths with the fox. He had knelt to greet the creature. Its anxiety had already told the story. A feeling of rising heat, a static about his fingertips as they brushed the parchment of the letter. These were all that the Falcon had memory of before he awakened amidst another wooded patch. He had settled on the forest floor as discordant chimes rang out around him. The templar was left in an exhausted haze. In truth he had traveled a day straight after receiving the letter. In the moments before exertion claimed his wakefulness from him, he spotted something soothing. A spot of russet fur, a glimmering of gold. His fingers roused in a feeble attempt to reach out. Aurelion lost consciousness, his eyes tearful as he faded.

Taught me my first magic back on Axios and it really doesnt feel that long ago. Wish you the best Lhindir, its been a generational run.

The next page button is the bane of my existence.

Someone should make sure this guy isn't locked in a basement and forced to submit lore at gunpoint.

Are we back? Please tell me we're back.

This guy is a menace.

I hate April 1st.

I mean it's a problem in both directions. Spread the magic wide and it gets it's use, maybe in ways unexpected - good and bad. Voidal magic being so common to would be strange if sudden it was given a power boost or something and suddenly we have a bunch of cracked out wizards running around Circle jerk a magic and you get the things you described. I think void magic is oversaturated. I don't want MAs to be wiped or something though. Additionally I think Divination (Voidal lore submission at time of writing this) is a good idea towards giving void mages cool things that don't necessarily raise their power, makes them more interesting. Maybe if there were more things like that urging people to take them over the evocations for a pure combat boost.

It's across every inch of the server now and it really is default, baby's first magic. For a lot of people it end up being the only magic they'll have. It's the fact that so many people have it that stops it from being anything really special. It has to be balanced around the masses having access to it. Aswell, slowly over time just I think by luck it's been rewritten and morphed into something that has far too much focus on combat leading to users being the CRP focused type. That leads to the nonstop meta discussion like I'm playing World of Warcraft and googling 'best pvp spec mage'. Tldr; should be more rare so it can be really unshackled, won't be though and I guess that's alright.

Aurelion was offered the news upon his next entry into his new homeland. The Nehvaelite offering up the tidings of ascension bore witness to the Once-Lord of Amathine and his great smile full of warmth. He would pat briefly the fellow's shoulder before striding off with an oddly out of place, for Aurelion, bounce to each step.

A dim orange glow fell upon the missive as read by an individual of ginger hair. Ceryn to some Cerys to others. Eventually she came to cast it into a nearby pit of magma, lined in cinders and ash. She watched the parchment vaporize under the extreme heat, meanwhile she basked in it. "They just keep digging deeper into the shit. Their end feels near, perhaps it's time to do something ourselves." She had spoken untoward a figure nearby. @Cat Evocation

Is this the one?

Updated. New ritual mechanics to give it some actual character and a vibe to fit with heralds and azdrazi. Credit to @Jentosfor the ideas. Other small tweaks to fit the new mechanics, etc.

I gotta think on this Destroys items now Omnom brotherman

Chagar-uz [3 Emotes: Freeform] (Non-combative) Description Once per day two Ordained Heralds or one Nephilim may purge corruption from mortal men and long accursed relics. The target shall be placed or stood within a rhombus nestled within a circle. Such a shape shall be drawn upon the earth in the blood of a draconic being, or the draan from two Ordained Heralds. The ritual must be preformed in the presence of a drakeshrine or similar temple, lest it be reserved to the times of dusk and dawn. Likewise, whether the target is an object or living being, another object of personal value to one of the participants will be marked with draan or dragons blood. This item will be destroyed in place of the object being cleansed, as it takes on the curse briefly before being obliterated. Those conducting the rite will then utter a phrase in either High or Low Draconic, calling for the circle to bind the curse laid within the target object or individual. This marking upon the ground, be it in blood or draan, will begin to ignite much like a Herald's branding as they invoke their words of power. The individual being purged will begin to feel a sensation within them, as if their insides began to roil and churn as like water coming to a rolling boil. The markings upon the ground eventually catch flame, rising higher and higher until they consume the target. The target will begin to burn, feeling immense pain. Individuals being purged will be left with a scar upon the area previously afflicted seared upon their flesh while the item they offered up, destroyed. Should the target have been an item in the first place, it will simply be destroyed. Purpose: Implementation: All Ordained Heralds and Nephilim who are able to wield Heraldic words of power will be able to use this ritual off rip. New Ordained Heralds after this is implemented must learn it as normal for Heraldry. Credit: @Jentos (Consultation and ideas) Thanks for the feedback below as well, all. Changelog: + Necro cursed trinkets to the destruction list + Destroys the item being purged, if the target of the rite is an item. + Witch Doctor hexes to the list + Naz burns (This was intended I just clarified specifically) - Nephilim Addition + Herald Addition (Useable by both ORDAINED and NEPHILIM) +- Redid the entire ritual process
