    What magic(s) will you be teaching?

             Fire Evocation

     

    Describe this magic or a creature as a whole:

             

     Simply put, Fire Evocation is the learned ability to manifest flames from the void. By establishing one’s self as a mana anchor, mages are able to bring flame envisioned mentally into the physical plane. But it's not so simple. 

     To adequately produce and maintain a flame to a point of usefulness requires months of studying the characteristics of fire, along with consistent practice forcing it into existence. With this students will find themselves steadily progressing to each tier over the course of many years (OOC months) will practitioners find themselves mastering the flame inducing art. 

     Some guidelines of Fire Evocation:

    Takes up [1] slot

    Only allows users to manipulate flames they spawn from the void that are in their control, unable to manipulate already present fire.

    Once the fire makes contact with a flammable object, those flames are unable to be controlled.

    Fire can only be colors of orange or red in combat (Unless blue flame is invoked). In passive RP, fire cannot be white or black.

    Higher tier Pyromancers are able to inflict their flames with [Combustion] and [Blue Flame]. Each has their pros and cons, induce a higher mana intake, and create a deadlier flame. (Wouldn’t recommend using them together)

     

    Are there different sections or subsections of magic? Can those be elaborated upon?

             

     Combustion gives a Pyromancer’s flame a concussive effect on impact, creating a projectile that is both scorching and propulsive, at the cost of more mana being used and extra casting time. It also converts the afflicted spell to T5. Adding combustion to a T5 spell does not increase mana cost, just casting time.

     

     Blue flame gives a normal flame a doubly hot quality, easily giving 3rd degree burns. It of course has the same costs as mentioned above of more mana and casting time, but makes spells T4. Anything higher does not increase mana cost.

     

    Fire evocationists are gifted with the ability to spawn smoke, which can be seen as a subsection of the magic even though it's really just a byproduct of fire. The usage of smoke on people causes little harm besides causing one to cough, it's more prized for its innate ability to cloud a person's view to great effect.

     

     Fire Evocation also intersects with transfiguration in the form of enchantments, allowing wielders of both crafts to imbue items with fire for combative/aesthetic purposes

     

    Can you give an example of a casting emote, of a spell of your choice?

             

     

    Flame Projectile [C]

     

     Mervel closed his eyes, entering a state of focus with a deep breath. Moments later, Mervel’s eyes opened to reveal a bright emerald glow as he prepared to unleash his pyromancy! [1]

     

     Mervel brought his left hand to his side, as raw mana in the form of green mist began to congregate about himself and pool atop his open palm. It crackled and sparked… [2]

     

     Mervel then sparked the mana to life, manifesting a ball of voidal flame with a woosh. The crude ball of fire waved against the air as Mervel reeled back his hand, before hurling it at the target over-hand style! [3]

     

     It zipped through the air at the speed of an arrow, before colliding and setting alight a straw dummy in a spectacular display.

     

    Can you give an example of a teaching-emote (interacting with another) of a spell of your choice?

             

     

    [Conjure Flame]

     Mervel opened the great creaking door to Urguan’s Library, before his overeager apprentice waddled into its sizable main hall. “Ahm really excited fer todays lesson, teachah!” The nasally dwed commented as they made their way to the classroom, Mervel rolling his eyes instinctually. Urists’ jam-jar spectacles gave him a rather punchable face, he’d muse.

     Plopping himself atop a teacher’s desk, Mervel faced the apprentice Urist who sat in the front row of an entirely empty class. “Yew been practicin’ spawning’a flame? As ah asked?” The pale Frostbeard asked, entirely without a shirt in the scholarly environment. Urist responded with a few bobs of his head, “Uh, aye! Yes.” Mervel lifted his hand, “Do demon’strate.” 

      Grunting, Urist sat up before closing his eyes. Lips pursed, Urist would engage a connection to the void as his face strained. He then opened his eyes- revealing their now dark red glimmer- to focus on his palm. 

    “Now, deh flame.”

     Urist nodded again, picturing a small flickering flame, much like the lit candle wick he’d spent hours observing. Looking to his now open hand, he’d imagine its fiery likeness sparking to life over his hand. But how do fires start? Urist failed to remember clearly in the heat of the moment. Though he reflected fondly over the flame the cute bartender lass started in his pants- he couldn’t take his eyes off her two impressive fireballs-

     Mervel slammed his fist on Urist’s desk, “YEW WAS OUT DRINKIN’! INSTEAD’A STUDYING- YEW SLEAZEH’ SH*TE!” The teacher’s once pale complexion turning beet-red. Urist jumped in his seat, before quickly adjusting his glasses while looking quite disoriented. He’d take the moment to wipe the dried beer foam that lay apparent atop his beard. 

     Huffing, with deep breaths, Mervel pointed a finger at his student, “Yah ‘ave- ‘tirty seconds- tew spawn a flame- ‘fore ah ROAST THOSE SHTEWPID GLASSES’A YERS!” He’d snarl. In quick succession, Mervel retrieved a 30 second hour-glass that was conveniently stored inside the teacher’s desk, flipping it over and placing it before Urist, his arms crossed. 

     Still voidally connected, Urist tried to recall how fire comes to life. “Hot… Hot…” Urist thought deeply. 20 seconds. “Embers? Er… Stones hittin’ togetha… Woss’at dew..” 10 seconds. Urist swore he could see his teacher’s aura gathering in preparation to torch him. “Sharpening an axe- Sparks!” 5 seconds- then the dimly lit classroom was bright with an amazing warm light.                                                                                 Focusing on his hand, it seemed Urist had formed a meager flame over his trembling hand! Also realizing how sopping wet his seat now was with sweat. Mervel came close, “Aye! Now ‘old it.. ‘old it…” The drained student tried with all his might to keep the flame from dissipating but for a couple seconds, before collapsing over his desk. Mervel snorted, a wide grin set on his face.

     

    Say your student powergames during or after teaching, how do you reprimand that?

             

     In the case that my student incidentally powergames, I’ll be sure to put a pause on roleplay and patiently educate them through OOC. If they show signs of repeated powergame with ill-intent I’d have them dropped/reprimanded by staff.

Though consumption isn’t a specific issue, it is suggested not to ingest Múul Stone, as you are likely to expel all of the contents within your stomach in a few minutes. Otherwise, it has no adverse effects towards biological life for the most part.

    Napalm and a laxative. Sounds sick as balls.

     I must agree, few new players are exposed to what the server has to offer, most left wandering about before logging off, never to be seen again. When I first joined, I was met with open arms, wonderful rp, and tons of help from my respective community, which has kept me going to this day. Hope new players can experience that. Just make sure to not be too pushy, and not pretend and befriend with a fake bubbly persona as mentioned above, just to bolster your nation's population. Makes you feel used when its realized. 🙏

    The mage would suffer the same amount of damage unless the distance they are launched upwards is reduced somehow. it isn't really if they are prepared or not, it is more so the sudden jet upwards and the fall that harms the target (plus, idk why a mage would target themselves with this spell in the first place)

     Ah alright. Thought it had some application as a neat way to launch yourself at/away from your enemies. But this makes sense. 👍

    T5: The spell is able to launch an object or target up to 3 meters into the air. Landing back onto the ground will most certainly cause an ankle to be sprained, and possibly break a bone depending on how they had fallen, as well as to what surface they fell upon. Recovery from the fall will take at least [2] emotes as the wind would also have been knocked out of the target.

    [1 connect + 2 charge + 1 cast]

     

    Alternatively, the Mage may launch themselves in the air up to [3] meters in height.

    [ 1 connect + 2 charge + 1 cast]

     When mages launch themselves, do they still suffer the same amount of damage as an enemy they'd launched? Or would it be to a lesser degree, as the mage knew when the launch was going to occur, and prepare themselves for the fall?

    Forgot to set the race to Olog! Woopsy.

    MC Name:

             boxboiy

     

    Character's Name:

             Pizhtol

     

    Character's Age:

             18

     

    Character's Original Race (N/A if not applicable):

             Olog

     

    Transformed form:

             N/A

     

    Creator's MC Name:

             N/A

     

    Creator's RP Name:

             N/A

     

    Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

             

     Hulking, dumb behemoths to put it shortly. Height's can range from eight to ten feet tall, though Ologs over nine feet will be more plagued by gravity (I.E Slouching, poor bone structure.) Strength nearly unrivaled, these giants possess the might of two fully grown orcs! Though tall and powerful, they are not without their negatives. Ologs are very slow runners, with a max speed of eight miles per hour, but are most infamous for their poor intellect, so much so that they need great help going about their lives. They are literally unable to live on their own, for they would surely starve to death! These brutes are very simpleminded, things they seek out are done so in the simplest, most straight forward way. Need a weapon? A giant branch will do. Food? An unfortunate cow is perfect. Speech is fairly rudimentary, sentences rarely breaking ten words. If their basic needs are met, Ologs are rarely quarrelsome, and quiet content. Lifespans of an Olog are much like their Uruk brethren, theorized to live near 500 years, but most end up perishing before 100, due to their barbaric lifestyle. Their origin forever remains unknown, many hypothesizing that they're the children of Troll and Orcs, or simply products of evolution. 

     

     

    If this construct or creature has some form of aesthetic choice, can you describe how they look? 

     

     A fully grown, ash skinned Olog, coming at a height of 9'5 standing upright, a pronounced slouch diminishing it to 9'3. Also weighing in at 540 pounds, he's a tad on the leaner side, but still relatively chunky. Completely bald, with eyebrows as black as coal. Eyes themselves are fairly small, hiding behind the Olog's protrusive brow line. Piz's clothing consists of a simple dark cloth smock, one measly strap holding the shirt up from his shoulder. Shackles and braces adorns his limbs, appearing akin to a beast of labor. Skin is relatively peachy for an orc, besides a few small scars. Barefoot.

     

     

    Do you have a magic(s) you are dropping due to this app? If so, link it:

             Nope.

     

    Do you agree to keep Story writers updated on the status of your magic app?:

             I agree!

     

    Do you understand that if this creature's lore is undergoing an activity trial and that trial fails, you will no longer be able to play this creature and will be forced to either revert the character back to its normal form (if it was a transformative type) or stop playing the character entirely (if it is an entirely new creature)?:

             Yeup.

     

    Memey RP or using this CA for subpar villain/bandit RP can lead to your app being denied, even after acceptance. Please put "I understand" as your response once you have read this part and understand the consequences.

             I understand.

     

    Have you applied for this creature on this character before, and had it denied? If so, link the app:

             I have not.
