I definitely agree that this would be neater if more the abilities were able to be used by Blood Mages with aid of a Mystic, and honestly, I should've written them to be more widely accessible - however, I am also still inclined to keep certain abilities remain only usable if one has both magics (Similar to the way some of the abilities are in Druidic BM, requiring you to be a druid with blood magic rather than just needing blood mages with a druid helping). Rite of the Puppeteer, Rite of Scouring, and Ensorcell Ethereality are the abilities that would be best changed to being a Blood Mage + help from Mystic, the rest I believe are best kept to a Blood Mage-Mystic.

I can definitely agree with this. Having a mix would work quite well as it would give Blood Mages/Mystics an incentive to search for each other, and an incentive for Blood Mages to teach Mystics and vice versa. Overall, just want more group stuff

I think it would be neat if it was possible, like in Infernal Blood, to do the rituals while having a Blood Mage and a Mystic instead of needing the Mystic to know Blood Magic. Sort of bouncing off of Disco, this could be why you need a Mystic as they will be able to imbue their Liturgies into the blood and that's how it becomes Elysian Blood

An old mage roared out as the vision reached him, the man collapsing to the ground, hands covering his eyes. Sulieronn's form twitched as and squirmed as he sat there, eyes glowing a vibrant white.

this is a completely unneeded change to current metal runes

A 'ker scoffed, rolling his eyes at the mention of the mage circle. "Why did a child have a potion in the first place? Why wasn't she punished for nearly killing several nobles? The world may never know." That particular section of the tribune that he had seemed to be perfectly burned out, leaving the rest in tact.

The Void’s Deal

Through talking to the Horror residing within his mind, Sulieronn managed to convince it to aid him in a mutual contract. A contract to give power to them both and to the Horror something it wants. The terms are as follows:

      -Sulieronn must create a Voidal Tear that is, at least, 10 meters in radius. He must allow this Tear to reach “Immaturity.” Once it reaches that stage, he must send out a message to the horrors beyond via Communication, calling them to the location. Only once all of these steps are complete may Sul gain access to his part of the deal.

      -In trade, the Horror and Sulieronn work together to cast the Ascension of Consciousness ritual for a second time. Only, for this ritual, both of them will work together to lure in a second Voidal Horror and bind that to Sulieronn’s Soul. Both the Horror and Sul will have control over this creature via their combined magical prowess.

Redlines:

-Sulieronn may not aid in the destruction of the Voidal Tear he creates. He may also not aid in anything that would lead to the destruction of the Tear. A Tear that he’s already made may be used, however it must be one that he’s helped with.

-ST must be present for when Sulieronn used Communication to call Horrors through the Tear.

-For Sulieronn to gain the benefits, he must go through Ascension of Consciousness once again, following all redlines for the ritual. This can only be done after the Tear reaches Immaturity.

-If the Tear is broken before the Ritual can be completed, then it must be remade.

-Once all requirements are met, screenshots must be shared as proof to ST that it’s been done. Following this, this MArt will be linked on Sulieronn’s Voidstalking FA.

-Due to the significance of the Tear, a post must be created to alert Veil Watchers to its creation.

-If done close to the end of the map, within a Month of its ending, then Sulieronn must recreate the Tear on the next map. Should he have the abilities listed below, then he will lose access to them until the Tear is created.

A Third Presence

The Second Voidal Horror being bound brings forth a myriad of effects, both helpful and detrimental. He is changed to fully be a creature of the Void, an Elf with a truly tainted soul, one fully corrupt by the Voidal Magic he so treasures. The following are the benefits he receives from this contract:

[Active] [Combative] - Horror’s Reach

Reaching Mana forwards to destroy another is a staple of a Voidstalker, though many do not wish to take that step forwards. With help from another beast, a second ‘blessing’ and mind are able to be bestowed upon the magi’s foes.

Due to the presence of a Secondary Horror that Sul is able to manipulate, his Voidstalker abilities of Wither and Invasion are enhanced. For Wither, he is able to cast it upon a Secondary Target by either casting it twice, or spending [1] extra emote to create another charge of it and throw both at once. However, these two spells must travel in the same direction, only able to divert a small bit from one another to strike two different foes. Should this second charge be done, it will add [1] Tier’s worth of mana to the spell. In addition to that, if [2] people are affected by Wither at the same time, the Voidstalker must wait until both run out in order to recast. Should it be done via charging it with the extra emote, then the Voidstalker is placed on a [1] round Cooldown.

Redlines:

-All Redlines for Wither must be followed.

-The Voidstalker must add [1] emote in order to create the secondary charge, this will add [1] Tier’s worth of Mana to the spell, upping it from a T2 to a T3 spell.

-Should [2] people be affected by Wither at the same time, then the Voidstalker must wait until both have expired. Should this be done with the Second Charge, then the mage will have a [1] emote Cooldown before being allowed to use it again.

-The effect is not stacked if both charges hit the same person. The spell is also not able to be renewed on someone if Wither is cast on them while they’re already under its effects.

Invasion is the other spell affected by the presence of the Third Mind, albeit more directly. Similar to Wither, above, the mage may add [1] extra emote to create a second charge of Invasion, allowing them both to be thrown at once. This, however, adds [1] Tier’s worth of mana to the spell. They must travel in the same general direction, though they may strike two different people, or the same person. If they strike two different people, then normal Invasion rules apply to both characters. However, if they hit the same person, then they deal with the effects of Wither for [2] emotes instead of [1]. Though, this will make that character immune to Invasion for [2] emotes after the effects end.

Redlines:

-All Redlines for Invasion must be followed.

-The Voidstalker must add [1] emote in order to create the secondary charge, this will add [1] Tier’s worth of Mana to the spell, upping it from a T3 to a T4 spell.

-If the same person is hit with both charges, then the duration of Invasion goes up to [2] emotes, though the character is granted immunity from any Invasion spells cast by any Voidstalker for [2] emotes after the effects fade. This is to prevent stunlocking.

[Active] [Non-Combative/Combative] - Puppet Master

By working with his first Horror, the magus is capable of controlling the second, forcing a manifestation of it to appear within the world, hovering over him. And so, he is able to manipulate it like a puppet.

To Manifest the Horror in a Non-Combative situation, it takes only [1] emote and can be done upon connecting to the void. While manifested, the Voidstalker may force it to perform tasks, it having two extra arms that are without the effects of Voidal Poisoning. However, the tell is rather obvious as the Horror will appear as a looming figure behind the magus with it and its arms being a combination of the mage’s normal aura color and black, showing its tainted nature. If Combat breaks out, then the Horror is forcibly demanifested.

Redlines:

-The Horror may not be used, in any way, to harm another, if used in a Non-Combative situation. It may not even do such things as spilling a drink in someone’s lap. Direct actions of aggravation with the Horror are prohibited.

-Should Combat start, the Horror will be instantly demanifested.

-It holds the user’s strength without Voidal Poisoning. It may act as the Smith when making Arcanium while still allowing the Voidstalker to provide their bonus.

-The manifestation holds extra reach, within reason.

-The "Horror" is simply a manifestation of the bound one Sulieronn has.

In Combat, after [Connect -> Cast] the manifestation may be summoned forth. During these intense situations, the two arms are unable to interact with people or objects unless for aesthetic reasons. The arms can only perform tasks that the mage would be able to do on their own and with the strength of a Voidstalker. Should the manifestation be used to do tasks, the mage may not use their arms for any purpose other than gestures. In addition to this, the arms act as an Arcane Focus, allowing spells to be cast through them. In this state, damage done to the manifestation is also done to the mage. If a block is to occur, for example, the mage would receive all the pain and wounds as if they’d blocked it themselves.

Redlines:

-The Horror manifestation is only able to perform actions that the mage is able to do. Should it be doing these actions, the mage will be only able to perform gestures. This, in no way, may allow the mage to gain an advantage as they only act as an aesthetic way to do something. For example, while the arms may block a hit, they do not gain extra reach.

-Damage done to the manifestation is also done to the mage.

-If the mage disconnects, be it as a choice or forcibly, then the manifestation will vanish.

-An abjuration of any kind will instantly destroy the manifestation and disconnect the mage, should it hit the manifestation. Puppet Master is then unable to be cast until the next OOC day. It will also take the Voidstalker twice as long before they can reconnect.

-The "Horror" is simply a manifestation of the bound one Sulieronn has.

[Passive] [Non-Combative] - Voidal Bloodline

An excess of Mana flows throughout the magi, their soul becoming tainted, permanently. No longer is the body that of a normal man, but one blessed with supreme voidal strength. Even the children of the Deal Maker are corrupt by his actions. Though, perhaps it was on purpose.

The pure amount of mana within the Voidstalker’s body is enough to cause mutations, ones that persist through blood. Even the children of the mage have a chance to be inflicted by the permanent curse, or blessing, as some may see it, upon the soul. Forever, it shall flow through the bloodline, until no more are born with these mutations. Should the mage father any children of his own, they will have a 100% chance to develop Voidal Bloodline, however, should one of them, or anyone further down the line who has this curse have a child, a roll out of 20 must be done: 1-10, the child is born normally, without mutations, 11-20, the child is born with mutations. Only one with mutations can pass it along to the next generation. Below are the mutations to an unaltered body:

-The flesh of the character will be changed to behold a cosmic appearance. This may change from person to person, from being black with star-like specks to looking like a nebula. This must be taken by all with Voidal Bloodline.

-The hair may appear crystalline, like a mass of constantly growing focus crystals, or even may become thin and wiry, albeit slightly floating, as if unaffected by gravity.

-The aura of the character becomes tainted, mixed constantly with a corrupt black mass.

-Any other Voidal Mutation listed on the Voidal Tearing lore page. If one wishes to gain a mutation not listed in this MArt or on the Mutations list, then ST must be contacted to see if it’s alright to be used.

The originator of the Voidal Bloodline gains the altered Skin, Hair, and Aura as listed above. Other mutations are unable to be taken. However, due to this, the originator is unaffected by the normal side effects that come with Voidal Mutations, like having nerve damage or being blind. Instead, he is cursed to behold no afterlife. Upon a PK death by the Voidstalker, the horrors will pull him into the void, activating Escape to The Infinite. This escape is unable to be avoided, it is destiny.

Redlines:

-The originator, the owner of this MArt, will activate Escape to The Infinite upon going through a PK death. This is unable to be prevented, unless through an Event, though the ET must be consulted as to what will happen.

-This follows all mechanics of Voidal Mutation, including being born with a Tainted Soul. All who are of the Voidal Bloodline must gain an aesthetic of the flesh as listed above.

-All who are not the originator that are of the Voidal Bloodline will suffer from the side effects of the mutations, having such things as Blindness, Nerve Damage, Brittle Nails, etc., in accordance with their mutations.

-Any children fathered by the originator will have Voidal Mutations. Anyone else born by a parent of the Bloodline must have a roll of 20 done to decide if they are given mutations or not.

-Mutations provide no combative advantage.

-Alteration Alchemy cannot be used to avoid one’s mutations.

The following are the detriments he must deal with:

[Passive] [Non-Combative] - The Third Mind

A Second Horror resides within Sulieronn’s Mind, bound to him by his own will and the aid of another Horror seeking strength. While much is gained from this abomination, the mind of the magus is destroyed further.

All Mental Ailments from Voidstalking and Veil Watching are generally increased. The main increase is Insomnia as he is now no longer able to let himself fall asleep normally. He will stay awake for as long as he can, only sleeping when he’s physically unable to stay awake any longer. Even on the nights when he is finally allowed rest, the slumber is far from peaceful as he now has Two Horrors directly messing with his nightmares, making it so he’s unable to get a fulfilling night’s rest. In addition to this, he gains a Third Mind as the Second Horror also talks to him, similar to the first.

Redlines:

-Follow all Redlines for The Second Mind.

-The effects of “The Second Mind” occur again, only worse as there are now three competing within Sulieronn, one being himself.

-The Horrors are able to be purged, however only one Horror is removed per purge. This, however, does not allow any of the mental effects to fade. Without the Second Mind, Sulieronn loses access to the abilities of this MArt, excluding Voidal Bloodline as his body is permanently changed due to that, Invasion, and Escape to The Infinite. Without The Third Mind, Sulieronn just loses access to the abilities in this MArt, with the exception of Voidal Bloodline.

-The Ascension of Consciousness ritual may be performed to bring back the Horrors, one by one, however it must be marked upon Sulieronn’s Voidstalking FA as the mental ailments become truly debilitating.

[Passive] [Non-Combative] - Mana Overflow

The destruction of life is a common side effect for Voidstalkers, but even worse for Sulieronn. Constantly, the world around him is destroyed due to the choices he’s made, plants and animals around him suffering and dying for him to be powerful.

This is an extension of the Passive Drain. The radius is increased to be [10] meters, in which both plants and animals will suffer and eventually die. Such a process takes, at max, a narrative hour, though it could happen as fast as a few seconds. Though, within the original [5] meter radius, the draining of life happens at twice the speed, meaning that life within the radius will be dead within 30 narrative minutes.

Redlines:

-Follow all Redlines for Drain.

-This only affects plants and small animals, up to the size of a small rat.

-Small animals that die will not be brought back once he leaves the area, unlike plants.

-The radius is extended to [10] meters, but the draining’s speed is doubled within [5] meters.

-Scions must Vent within [5] meters of Sulieronn

-Within places Sulieronn frequents, the damage will become permanent, only able to be reversed by Druidic Blight Healing.

[Passive] [Non-Combative/“Combative”] - Forever Corrupt

Becoming so close to the void has its benefits, however, the body is not made for such things. Being more than a Living Tether, Sulieronn must suffer those who wish to banish the magical arts, and he is bound to live with his choices.

Due to being closer to the Void, Sulieronn suffers even worse from Anti-Magic abilities. Abjurations, of any kind, cause first degree burns should the abjuration be made for a spell of T3 or T4. However, one made to combat T5 spells will cause second degree burns upon the touched area, instantly disconnecting Sulieronn. Warding works similarly as it now blocks the mage from passing, causing first degree burns should there be prolonged contact(any time longer than [1] emote), and is generally uncomfortable to touch, even when not being burned. Auric Oil and Null Arcana cause first degree burns upon touching Sulieronn’s flesh. Thanhium will deal second degree burns upon making contact with the mage. Because of his dedication, Sulieronn is no longer able to drop Voidstalking unless he loses enough magics to force him to lose the knowledge. Even then, if he is able to become a Voidstalker, he must do so.

Redlines:

-First Degree burns are caused by: T3-T4 Abjurations, Wards, Auric Oil, and Null Arcana.

-Second Degree burns are caused by: T5 Abjurations, Thanhium, extra damage done to areas already holding First Degree burns.

-Touching a Ward, Auric Oil, or Null Arcana for [1] emote will only cause discomfort, but, for [2] emotes or longer, First Degree burns will develop.

-Unlisted Anti-Magic things will deal First Degree burns, unless specified by ST.

-Sulieronn is unable to drop Voidstalking unless he goes below [3] slots in Voidal Magic. If he has [3] or more slots in Voidal Magic, he must pursue Voidstalking. He is unable to willingly go below [3] slots either. Only ST intervention may allow this to happen.

MC Name:

         Meteor__Dragon

Character's Name:

         Deita

Character's Age:

         Newborn

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

         N/A

Transformed form:

         Homunculi

Creator's MC Name:

         Moon_Is_Innocent

Creator's RP Name:

         Akemi

Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

Homunculi are humanoid creatures that are created however their maker likes, allowing them to look as normal or as odd as wanted, or needed. However, they must hold some semblance of normality as one is unable to make a halfling sized homunculi with arms like an orc; proportions must be correct. These soulless creatures generally hold silver or golden eyes. In addition to this, their bodies match their descendant counterparts as elvish style homunculi will be quicker, usually taller, and more fragile, while an orcish homunculi would have to deal with being a bit slower, yet holding great strength. The laws of equivalent exchange still matter, of course, as the stronger the creature becomes, the less careful it will grow. Due to the lack of Soul, a homunculi is immune to soul based attacks, such as Malflame, and is incapable of learning soul based magics.

Due to the way they're made, these soul lacking beings hold regenerative powers that allow them to bring back lost limbs and return from death, but ensure that their bodies are ageless. Over the course of [3] IRL days to [1] IRL Week, a homunculi is able to regenerate any lost limb, it returning to them fully intact. However, death takes a lot longer for them as they sit for [1] IRL Week, waiting for their body to fully recover and heal. After a death, another few days are required for them to properly regain themselves. Though, this can all be stopped should a homunculi be fed a Juliet Potion as this PKs them, turning the body to stone.

As Alchemical beings, they more easily adapt to Tawkins changes placed upon them, like grafting or mutations. They experience much less pain as mutations settle within them. In addition to that, they also have a more innate understanding of the alchemical world and the material alphabet. Though, they are rather weak to voidal magic specifically, as it goes against their nature, same with other magic. Even the weakest of spells will cause intense pain and discomfort to the homunculi, any injuries dealt by magic requiring twice the amount of time to heal from.

Finally, homunculi's mind is constantly drawn to that of the alchemical world, forcing many to want to seek this odd knowledge, no matter the cost. They are logical creatures, making them work based on facts and truth rather than go based on emotional impulses. Because of this, they struggle to feel descendants do, emotions being a struggle for them, even if they wish to try and feign such actions. In addition to this, they are not forced to follow the word of their creator and may act against them as are not bound. Their attachment to people only goes as far as platonic feelings, anything romantic is unable to be felt, and they are incapable of FTBing.

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

Deita appears to be similar to that of a human. There's nothing abnormal about her looks.

VOIDAL MAGES

There are a lot more magics that arent voidal that this could apply to. Afaik, both Naz and mystic give debuffs similar, if not exactly, to voidal poisoning. If this is going to be used, it should be changed to "all magics that physically weaken the mage"

Honestly, the main reason I added the ability to make the crystals harder via a normal ritual was because I thought some people might find it neat to have funny red crystal dagger. It wasn't the main reason for the addition, and I'm fine removing it if it comes down to it

one-line clarification

The amendment part was a last minute thought/addition, tbh

Below is the addition to the lore. Simply, it's an aesthetic ability to provide blood mages a classical "bloodbending" ability to manipulating blood and shaping it to their desire. In addition to that, it adds a crystalizing ability to let one crystalize blood and make things out of such, like a blood weapon. If accepted, I'd like for all Blood Mages with a TA to gain access to this ability and be able to teach it to others.

Blood Manipulation - Noncombative

Reaching forth to grasp at the genus within blood, a user of this art may shape that liquid however they please. Those of exceptional skill may even find that they are capable of crystalizing blood into solid shapes.

Next is the following change;

Old:

New:

This change is being made because Augmentation isn't explicitly stated to be a T1 Spell, even though it has a T1 variant. In addition to that, it would add Blood Manipulation to T1, should it be accepted.
