New verson dropped! I have been working on fixing the pack for the introduction of Surge, and have added the new weapons that came with it. Problem is, tridents, the base item for lances and spears, cannot be retextured and remodeled based on item name, so only have art for the icons. If this troubles you, bring it up with whoever created Surge. I want visible spears too. Still contact me if you want custom player made items to get textures. Message me at Hylofear#8092. Here is the link to the textures. drive.google.com/folderview?id=1rngVsHlXgLW1gkSbazSrY1kxS-xUQeZN Have fun with this. More coming soon.

Hey all. An update for the texture pack. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rngVsHlXgLW1gkSbazSrY1kxS-xUQeZN?usp=sharing As the name implies, I have added the alchemy herbs to the pack. Also fixed some bugs with other items not displaying properly. Requests for ST items are open! If you have pixel art for your item that would help, but I can make the art for you with a visual description (which will of course take longer). Enjoy!

Most people on this server wanting a better look have been using conquest for their main texture pack. I used this too, but it caused me lag, and sometimes my game wouldn't start. I know many people have run into this issue, so I 'borrowed' the files from the pack and removed unnecessary ones, then retextured. Introducing, Celestial. A texture pack for those who want to be able to tell if that person is holding a pickaxe or a warhammer. This pack includes improvements to the base gear in Minecraft, as well as more versions of tool and weapon skins that apply to named items. This pack also includes skins for RP items, such as lutes, harps and violins. DM me on discord if you want your ST item to be included in the texture pack (Hylofear#8092). This will be updated infrequently, so keep an eye out for those updates as I add new item textures. Get the packs from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rngVsHlXgLW1gkSbazSrY1kxS-xUQeZN?usp=sharing If that doesn't work, DM me for a copy. Hope y'all enjoy it!

Disclaimer: I am still sorry for the amount of text and pictures but I hope you enjoy! ~* Celestialism Clarifications: Part Two *~ Accepted Lore Addition: Part One “The Shepherd is servant to all that heed the call .” An Overview Greater Melding Addition: Aura Mimicking Celestial Rite: Purification & Corruption Clarification Teaching: Aura Metamorphosis Clarification Event Creature: Celestial Gods TLDR Closing Statement Greater Melding addition: Aura mimicking As the Celestial Arcanist binds familiars with other mages they are also undergoing the process of greater melding. This bond exists between the grouping that bound the Celestial along with the familiar but it resonates on a completley seperate level for the Celestial Arcanist. The Celestial Arcanist will find that Familiars bound through other magi take on traits from both parties. About half of the traits of a Celestial are influenced by the Arcanist and the other half by those involved. The effect this has for the Celestial Arcanist can be seen when casting spells through their familiar. If the Celestial was bound solely by them their spells would appear normally. However should the Celestial have another bond to it the spells casted can take on the characteristics of that caster. This effect is only applicable to the usage of familiars by Celestial Arcanists. Another trait that becomes apparent is the abilities a Celestial manifests after binding. Celestials have inherent voidal abilities much like any other type of voidal horror and these abilities are directly affected by the casters participating in the binding. A Celestial Arcanist with no other magic will find that their Celestials tend to only possess abilities relating to Arcanism while a person without magic may find that their familiar has a lack of abilities. Curiously even non-voidal users find their magics mimicked in some form albeit these abilities will always remain voidal. A cleric might find that their familiar has the ability to cast bright flaming lights or have the ability to mend other Celestials much like a Celestialist might mend a stone, a parallel to clerical healing that only works on voidal beings. All abilities are catalouged upon discovery and for the most part will tend towards the mundane and non-combat oriented spells. It is through these unqiue voidal feats that the summoned creature mimicks their caster. While the abilities may not match up perfectly they sre usually within the theme of the individual or demonstate a part of their personality. Red LInes: Aura is mimicked only through the Celestial. If one is not directly melded they cannot otherwise take and use anothers aura through this method. Celestial abilties are simplier spells & must be recorded before use. Celestial abilities are only voidal based. Celestial Rite: Purification & Corruption Clarification Celestials are fragile beings even before they are birthed into our realm and thus many will seek to take advantage of them, driving them into mania and slaving them to the darkness. While there is no turning back once a Celestial has become a Voidal Horror they may find salvation through the help of a Celestial Arcanist for a brief window prior to this happening. With the stone in hand the Celestial Arcanist can begin the rite of purification by instilling their greater aura into the stone, gradually renewing the life of the Celestial. This act of benevolence does not come without complication and often poses a higher risk than simply slaying the horror. The Celestialist must be within the vicinity of the corrupted horror and once the rite has begun cannot be stopped. This is due to the trance-like state the Celestial Arcanist must undergo in order to achieve this feat. When the rite begins the horror will frenzy, exerting the full spectrum of its power, as it targets the person (or persons) performing the rite and because the Celestial Arcanist is subdued in the process they are likely to be injured or killed without proper protection. The reward for the completion of the rite is saving the Celestial and purging the heart of horror. If one were to kill a corrupted Celestial turned Voidal Horror that being would never again exist as it once was. If by chance it managed to exist within the void after its coiled death its heart of horror would remain whereas a purified horror will have its Celestial heart restored. The Arcanist Stone bound to the corrupted Celestial will grow blackened as time passes and eventually begin to crumble away allowing the newly corrupted horror to break free. If this occurs the rite of purification cannot happen and the Celestial is lost to its blighted form. This process will occur in no more than one elven month. This same effect and rite will occur for a shade summoned Celestial Familiar as well. Once a Celestial has broken free of its stone it also gains much of the power previously absent setting them back on par with voidal horrors. Red Lines: 1 month to undo corruption and revert a Celestial. The Arcanist Stone must be present and in the hands of the Celestial Arcanist. Celestial Arcanists become stationary and enter a trance. This rite can be interrupted by a variety of things including but not limited to; Mental Magic, physical pain, removal of the stone, etc… In which case the Rite of Purification will slowly degrade rather than completely fail. Rite of Purification does not do anything to actual voidal horrors. There isn’t even a way to attempt it. Teaching: Aura Metamorphosis Clarification One must be a prolific user of Arcanism in order to access the usage of Celestialism. So much so that it is likely only achieved many decades after they have fully mastered the art or by some similar magical ability. In order to begin learning from a teacher the student must endure the metamorphoses of their aura into that of a greater aura. This is down similar to how a Celestial Arcanist imbues an Arcanist Stone in which their energy is encased within the student, allowing their own magic to alter and come to match the state of the Celestial Arcanist. As the process ends the student will be utterly drained and likely lose consciousness finding that when they wake their magics are unavailable to them and will continue to be absent for the next elven week as their body conditions itself to the greater aura. As the days go one more and more sensations will begin to plague the caster. Audible humming, chirps and disembodied noises surround them. Faint traces of aura flutter into view around anything magical, often appearing as a soft haze especially if one finds themselves in a particularly potent environment. As they become more and more accustomed to their new found gift these sensations become dulled and sometimes absent if one abstains from the usage of magic for a time. However they now will hear the calling of beings beyond the veil in the form of worried cries, feelings of immeasurable sadness and brief spurts of fearful wailing followed by expanses of utter silence. This is the process of the calling in which Celestials are drawn out of the abyss in mass hoping for salvation only to be annihilated by predatory horrors. These inescapable events are apart of a cycle and are heightened by excessively large usage of magic by the caster. When the callings begin the student is ready to learn other feats of Celestialism. Red lines: Cannot learn each feat until taught. Cannot use any form of magic for one week after imbuement. Event Creature: Celestial Gods While only Gods in definition these creatures exist not in service to a Celestial Arcanist but as the greatest magical beasts one will come to find in the realm. Each individual Celestial God is so unique they are often mistaken as other beings entirely some of which are capable of speech and binding their own Celestials. Due to their nature these benevolent creatures are revered by Celestials who will disobey their casters if commanded to attack or involve themselves in negative actions against them. The likelihood that even a circle of Celestial Arcanists can gather the resources to summon one of these creatures is slim though not impossible. A vast sum of wealth and collective power would mark the achievement otherwise Celestial Gods are usually found to be spawned via other means. Not to be mistaken for aengudaemons, though many may come to worship them, Celestial Gods are born from extreme conditions and act as the highest beings in the Celestial hierarchy which parallels the Voidal Horror hierarchy within the void.. Requiring unnatural amounts of mana to take form it is likely to see entire biomes of crystal gardens surrounding their domain. Whether or not they stay within their domain or how they act towards intruders varies from creature to creature. Like all Celestials these creatures can be corrupted whether it be from shades, necromantic blight or being sacrificed by a large circle of blood mages. Red Lines: Each Celestial God requires a lore post or lore approval and are reserved purely for event purposes. Celestial Arcanists cannot command a Celestial God but can assist in the creation of one. Likewise it is the LT who will delegate the person playing said God and the feats they might have. Likewise x2 Celestial Gods hold no obligation towards their creators, if they have any, and thus are prone to creating their own agendas. TLDR; Celestial Arcanists can take on another's aura color when casting through a celestial also bound to that person. Rite of Purification allows corrupted Celestials to be reverted if done within an elven month Celestial Gods are event creatures that require individual writeups but are on a separate level of power from other Celestials. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Part Two is a brief recap of how Celestial Arcanists can play around with and "wear" the aura of another when using celestial familiars bound to multiple people. I also clarified that celestial abilities mimick their caster even if they have non-voidal magics. They will find a way to simulate those spells via badic voidal feats. Teaching this magic needed a bit of clarification as I get ready to accept students and thus I thought it was important to illustrate the daunting task of learning. Rite of Purification allows some give and take with the antagonist and hopefully gives the victim more incentive to actively participate in the villainy RP provided to them. Celestial Gods are a discussion of their own. I went into absolutely no detail concerning anything other than the fact that they exist because each will require their own write-up and are solely event based. In fact I don’t even have to be the one to write these bad boys up and if accepted can be used to justify key lore events in the future without the consequence of adding more aengudaemons to the pantheon. That being said these creatures are no replacement for Aenguls or Daemons and are being introduced to exist on a more tangible scale, perhaps as forms of protagonist or antagonist groups. Who knows! I do know that I would like the opportunity to implement a few in the form of Eastern Dragons. Something we aren’t likely to see on the server otherwise. As always please feel free to discuss and if your feedback is warranted changes may be made. If you see something that you feel could be clarified or you have an additional justification to help my cause I lend you my ears. Likewise I am currently searching for topics for the next addition (always in search, gotta keep it fresh) so if you have a topic you want me to bring up next time in regards to Celestialism either send me a message or post below. Thanks for the support, everyone! BONUS ALBUM
