The only good magic is thinking up a convoluted headcannon and then powergaming it into existence.

A robed figure cringes at the notion of distributing magical artifacts without regard for the purchaser's competence...

How long do mats in these take to respawn?

You have no idea how close I was to pressing the big red button...

(I will give proper criticism soon:tm:)

V Solid concept, I think with work on reformatting, and rephrasing, it’d be pretty neat.

An archaic figure mutters something about "Wheels" and "The old dark"

man This is goofy and unnecessary and If you think anyone isn't gonna jump through bs loops to avoid it, I hate to tell you, but this is lotc. This, exactly, as a skinner, I can not be fucked to deal with some pointless fee, if I have my mineman money, I don't want to lose it because of some dumb arbitrary negative interest meme. Pretty much exactly this lmao Few months in, after having killed however many upstart small groups, inflation and workarounds will already have fucked over this goofy solution anyways, all it does is implement arbitrary rules in an attempt to quell the fuckery that normally happens. Knowing how most things go on here, this solution will probably turn into an even worse problem given time to fester, though I digress, I hope I am wrong.

This. Whilst it is not uncommon for newer players to attempt the creation of any number of varying lore pieces, and while your desire to involve yourself in lore writing is commendable. Due to a multitude of reasons, primarily rooted in the lack of server experience, and unawareness of lore precedent, nearly all lore pieces from brand new players are not accepted. I'm not saying this to discourage you, however, first and foremost, before you begin writing lore, and become involved with that aspect of the server, I suggest that you devote your time to playing the server, it is only through direct experience that one begins to understand the dense, and hugely diverse lore precedent sufficiently enough to write a truly great lore piece. Good luck!

👁️ nice

That doesn't sound like a good train of thought. Not to Derail the conversation, but this really do be a Techlock moment.

mans got the gat

Malaise put it very well, be an ass in rp, and not ooc, that's basically it. No reason to draw arbitrary lines in the sand for what is and what isn't feasible.

Ah yes, a meme username obviously constitutes ones actual behavior, what an enlightening observation. Jokes aside, Phil’s system was superior, while tox’s write isn’t horrendous, there are a number of odd and generally inconsistent implications that plague it, and in regards to theme, phil’s provides a more consistent, and intriguing position, the mechanics of tox’s voidal corruption is far too minor in relation to what the void actually is.

cute lore, based chaos disconnection.

Depends on your interpretation of conflict, because by and large every story ever *does* contain conflict of some sort, (at least every interesting story) though it is of course, Not always physical conflict. Be a conflict of philosophy, or ideology, a conflict of intentions, a conflict within a singular person, or a political conflict, the core theme of /conflict/ does remain in each of theoretical tale, albeit in (often greatly) differing ways.
