~=~ The Chia Sage Clinic ~=~ The streets of Al-Khaleed were dotted with fliers overnight. They detailed a place where the ill and wounded might seek aid, as well as an opportunity. The peoples of the nation have been given the chance to invest in their own welfare, be it through either minas or labor. The Synopsis The Chia Sage Clinic is looking for both funding and staff! Those who participate will receive benefits that may include but are not limited to: Free yearly examinations Reduced medical costs Pharmaceutical samples* Psychiatric aid** Physical rehabilitation** * Samples limited to predetermined selection ** Not affected by medical cost reduction Those who desire surgeon and paperwork positions are expected to be competent. An open mind and willingness to learn is also necessary (alongside a decently strong stomach). Seek out Rafiel Halkon in person or send a letter to begin the interview process. Donations are to be paid to the head surgeon or to a designated desk worker. Payments in minas, iron and gold are accepted. Those who donate over two hundred minas shall receive the previously listed benefits. Note that members of the Harian military are exempt from this, and are entitled to absolute and irrefutable clinical benefit. ((PM Beordan for OOC details n’ stuff

A letter was soon to find itself nailed on the door to Elwrick's burrow! "I require a quilt of plaid for my redecorating. I've included a something below, ought to show the dimensions of said quilt. ~Halkon" The parchment bore a map of Axios. Its continents were smothered by a crudely painted plaid.

One more reason to unironically love Combine.

Don't drink and drive

Must say, this looks incredible. Really adds that aspect of uniqueness to a magic that's been needing a little love.

Rafiel Halkon signs this.

~⋞☠⋟ On Elixirs of Shrinking ⋞☠⋟~ Its Origins and Creator It was a bone-chilling day of the deep cold. Rafiel Halkon sat at a desk in his lab, toiling with speculations and experimentations throughout the morn. Without invitation, a friend took stride through the door. He made proposition of an idea that could ultimately prove a true accomplishment of alchemy. Without delay Rafiel set to work, braving the various climates of Axios in search of the reagents to make this small proposal a reality. At least, he thought, it would make for quite the party trick! Summarization and Description The potion of shrinking is a unique matter. Unlike most concoctions, its effect reduces the volume of the user’s body rather than directly amplify an attribute. And in doing so, the bodily proportions of said user remain constant. Important to note is that the potion's effects only work on organic matter, which entails that clothing shall retain its dimensions prior to and after the change. An interesting fact to recognize, is that the shrinking in the body also applies to the vocal cords. One may find themselves embarrassed or entertained at first by the new octave in which they communicate. The elixir's potency varies with dosage size and base, though the most heavily impacted factor is the duration for which one remains in their shrunken state. The lesser potencies may last for mere minutes, while the greater have potential to span days at a time. Also to note is that the potion's period of effectiveness begins to dwindle exponentially when shrinking past one half of the user’s original volume. Experimenting with the durations for which the elixir is in effect is paramount to avoiding embarrassing or potentially dangerous scenarios. Similar to the potion of strength, the potion of shrinking possesses its own set of drawbacks. Immediately upon consumption, most are compelled to purge their shrinking stomachs. Some may even pass out, due to their lungs suddenly expelling the excess oxygen. But most notably, those consuming the elixir cannot shrink below one quarter of their original volume. As aforementioned, proportions of organic material remain constant. One with a larger quantity of muscle then may find themselves more prone to overreaching, misjudging their own speed, and things of the like after shrinking. Upon returning to normal size, most common side effects are muscle soreness, fatigue, hunger pains, shortness of breath, nausea, and vocal “cracking” in cases. For those of you still doubting this idea’s plausibility, fret not. The proof that alchemy has the capacity to enable such changes lies set in the creation of sentient life and the fusion of beasts. The name examples being homunculi and chimeras, each formed through meticulous alchemical methods. Long Term Effects With the use of the concoction does come a particular set of effects over time. Firstly, those who partake of the potion very slowly begin to lose bone density. This makes habitual use highly detrimental to the user, as they eventually reach a point where the transformation itself shatters every bone in the body. This of course may be countered and repaired early on with a balanced diet and non-strenuous exercise routines. Another effect is the gradual reduction in normal volume. Over the course of many consumptions, the elixir takes its toll on the body. The frequent user may one day find themselves slightly shorter than they once were, though the loss in height is most always superficial. Correct Usage and Redlines The elixir cannot be effectively used for combat, as such rigorous activity and mental strain causes the body to deplete the consumed elixir at a far greater rate. Strength scales downward exponentially with the decrease in size. One standing at ¼ of their original volume would then only be able to lift roughly 20% of their original maximum, and even then at high depletion of the consumed elixir. After consuming a potion of shrinking, the concoction will take upwards of ten to twenty Elven minutes to be absorbed and take any effect. The dosages cannot be overlapped. For example, one under the effect of a dosage that lasts for another hour cannot be administered another elixir to extend their shrunken time. The effect of the newly introduced potion would react with that of the first, shrinking the body unevenly and resulting in injuries from muscle tearing to bone protrusions due to parts of the body shrinking at faster rates. It is highly recommended that the dosages are not taken within two Elven hours of each other. The doing of such could result in fevers, muscle tearing, uneven shrinking, and similar (Roll 12/20 or higher for a safe transformation). Author: Beordan

~⋞☠⋟ The Potion of Shrinking ⋞☠⋟~ Description and Effects The potion of shrinking is a unique matter. Unlike most draughts, its effect reduces the size of the user’s body rather than directly amplify an attribute. In doing so, the bodily proportions of said user will remain constant. Important to note is that the potion's effects only work on living organic matter, which entails that fingernails, hair, and clothing shall retain their dimensions prior to and after the change. An interesting fact to recognize, is that the shrinking in the body also applies to the vocal cords.

The lesser potencies may last for hours, while the greater have potential to span days and weeks at a time. Also to note is that the elixir's period of effectiveness begins to dwindle exponentially when shrinking past one half of the original height and weight. Experimenting with the durations for which the draught is in effect is paramount to avoiding embarrassing or potentially dangerous scenarios. Similar to the draught of strength, the potion of shrinking does have drawbacks. Immediately upon consumption, most are compelled to purge their shrinking stomachs.

Looks like I'm late for the party. Sorry if my puns fall a little short of the baseline.

Eh, 7/10

Only way I see that happening is if there's PvP banditry just outside the borders and one party flees into the no PvP zone. Not too likely that'll happen though.

Gib rep. I am a veteran of the great chat leak.

If a courier pigeon can deliver me messages whilst in a bomb shelter, I'm fairly certain a diglett can bring me the newspaper atop Aethermoor's clock tower.

Would it be possible to purchase a fief plot from outside a nation's territory?

I'm sorry I spent so much time on this thread. But like a banana, it's just so appealing.

So I went to my bank for the daily gossip, but when I tried to share me stories with someone he said, "Sorry, I'm just a teller."
