Thanks breeni. It is a truly exquisite build indeed.

The Holocron & Lexicon Preface Notes of Kalameet Izalith bore testament to an odd creation. Stones and structures, documenting in ways never imagined to our kin. Revisiting moments in a near-lifelike projection. Lexicons, as called, acted as books with eyes and ears. Small gemstones laced with heathnic, voidal enchantments that recorded its surrounding sounds, sights, and optionally text. Offering a dim glow with and nothing else. Only when combined with a structure hereby dubbed a Holocron would this jem show use. Straddled upon a pedestal and configured by one of material knowledge is when the jem inserted would begin to project these pre-recorded visions. As time bore entropy, these notes fell to nonexistance. Only recently have those blessed with knowledge of invention rediscovered this object and played it within use. In their fruition shall this discovery return. Creation Forthright, a lexicon must be made tangible before none else. A lectern without it’s book is meaningless and simple decoration. Seek out a focal crystal and refine such with any means upon one’s hands. Shape is at will, so long it may not reach and larger than a human fist. Larger would prove too taxing upon one’s individual to constantly maintain. Secondly, lace the ethereal gem in a casing of either Arcaurum or Arcanium of one’s choice design; so long as it makes fused contact with the foci. Here, the physical constructs are complete for a Lexicon. Following, a character of extensive knowledge within the arts of Transfiguration and Illusion sould step forth. The mage imbues the Lexicon with a lace of enchantments that will be accepting receiving ends of what it’s wielder sees, hears, and reads. Following then, the creation is complete. A simple, rudimentary object in the eyes of experts in comparison to other feats. The gem will pool passively from it’s wielder and should never require a taxing amount of life if produced correctly. Or if further described, it may be activated and deactivated at will. To further complexity, a Holocron casing is to be constructed for projection of these stored illusionary thoughts and concepts. First and foremost, this construct feeds deeply upon mana; requiring the base of a Voidalistic Obelisk as it’s core. Structure upon and around, lays further enchantments. A hypothetical additional mage that receives what is stored upon the Lexicon and projects it to the surrounding presence akin to an Illusionist’s art of mockery. The following structures around the obelisk is at discretion, so long as the make contains receptive materials for enchantments and receptive functions. Function Akin to relays, the use of both these Holocrons and Lexicons is rather rudimentary. Lexicon alone requires little to no monitoring upon creation and can simply sit upon a necklace, a belt, or a hand held object. For the Holocron, to activate it, a Transfigurationist must place the Lexicon upon its desired pedestal. They then shall establish connection to the veil, channeling forth their art upon the construct. Given they know of the contents of this Lexicon, the mage may now coax forth the stored instances, projecting them through the Holocron as either an image, sound, and/or book of information to its recipients. In the case of images and sounds, errors may produce upon itself. Static-like buzzing, monochrome colors, etc. But in relativity, the conjured projections are relatively clear. Redlines Both the Holocron and Lexicon may only be crafted by those who are proficient in Illusion and Transfiguation. This too, knowledge or adequate invention RP is required to create these two objects. To use, only a Transfigurationist is required to operate the Holocron. A Lexicon will always emit a dull hue of its creator’s aura and a small, barely noticeable hum. Lexicons require an MC item for presentation and ST signage. Holocrons require an MC build to be functional. The contents of a Lexicon cannot be altered upon insertion. A Lexicon is not an endless storage of information. The Lexicon will only retain information that goes back one (1) IRL month. In the case of written information, there is no limitation due to the information simply only being words. Lexicons and Holocrons are subject to be destroyed given the means and are too susceptible to Abjuration. All projections from the Holocron follow the Sensory Illusion lore. Lexicons and Holocrons must adhere to death rules. The Lexicon does not record it’s users death. Credit: Author: wonk Telling me it’s ****: _Pan Lore referenced:

Same to you homie. Honestly didn't expect for us to work with each other RPly for more than a week but I'm glad how it turned out. By far one of my best conflicts for a character. 1. Very little actually. Most of it was lies or rumors she wanted to spread. Beyond that, what the council knew, she knew. 2. Yes. She never knew Corwin and could assume she was a good guy. But the rage and hatred she felt fueled her to convince their had to be SOMETHING he was hiding. When you gonna leave all your discords again? Look at Aiden's response. Wonk. No wink. Just wonk. Lmao no. My last RP was pulling illusion on Savior and then returning to the 'Blair Cave' after I launched myself 100 blocks in the air. Hungover from last night lmao. Been a bit since I talked to you Aiden. Miss the old days when I was new and just memed around, banditted with PC. By far, one of my favorite side characters to **** around with.

Yes.

My eyes uh- no. I'll go blind by the time I'm 30-40. No cure. Haha. Fun times. Favorite moment? Definitely forcibly abdicating Viltaren from leadership in Sutica. The rush, the thrill, and the complete chaos of contacting people who don't even play anymore like Squish just to do was the best fuckin' thing ever. With that, that night was the first time I started my crippling alcoholism, so yeah. 1. See above fish boy. 2. Definitely writing. I rarely ever wrote anything, unless it was college work, and hated it with ever fiber of my being. But I did enjoy DND style thing. SO applying was rough, but eventually I grew to enjoy writing long ass paragraphs. 3. More time to games and my wifey. Dates are limited, but we make due. 4. I'm asexual. 5. No, Blair's still alive. 6. Throw up the MA.

Who are you? /s

Evening, I think about this time, two years ago, I created this forum account and descended in the never-ending clusterfuck that is LoTC. Lots a good times, lots of sad times, you get the gest. Figured I join all the cool kids and make an AMA. So. . . uh- AMA. If you don't know me, hello- I'm Wonk, also known by a few other names such as cigarette_butt, Homeokinetics, and the various forms of others with the word Wonk in it. I started on this server as a little piss-baby druid wannabe and worked my way to be exclusively a Sutican RPer sadly. Did some **** with my two main characters, Talia Fester and her daughter Blair. Fucked with voidal magic rp and political/government RP for most of my active hours. To also add on this post, I'm also leaving LoTC in general. It's been itching up slowly the past few months with my low activity and such. The past few, I've started to drastically loose my vision in both eyes due to some really fuckin' weird genetical disorder. It's become rather hard to coordinate typing on a PC as well I used too. And as with that, I've grown increasingly disinterested in the server and it's concept. Don't how some of you asshats can last like 7 years. Either way, I'd like to take you all who made these two years fuckin' amazing. My time on this server has led to a plethora of fantastic, mind-blowing, and upsetting memories. Specifically, @audyush, @AlphaMoist, @Spleen, @DragonofTaters, @TheTri, @Lord Knox(**** you mystery), @CherryBoy, @Maeday0, @ComicD, @Covey, @mika1278, @MeteorDragon, @Minty, @NLThomas, @AudTheOdd, @SaviourMeme, and @LithiumSedai. Real fuckin' thanks to the homies I made real, actual friendships with: @BasilTheBunny, @Sprankles, @GammaRose, @Goon, Pan, @DukeofZufenburg , @CalZium, and @Apollonous. Y'all have been what really kept me going around here and sticking with me through it, despite half of you we barely speak. ANYWAYS, in like 72ish hours, idk- I'll probably delete my discord and have this account poofed. It's been nice knowing yall and stay cool. ~wonk
