Angelic Omicidio: She slipped in to sit in the back having a bit of a pale
look. Was a bit sick!
masque of truth: Cierra entered, adjusting the sleeves of her apprentice
robes to look more presentable in public. Her dark hair was tied up. Was
anyone else feeling hot?
DragonLightMage: wears his apprentis robes, luckily his healing glow saved
him from being in a coma! His eyes themselves were a bit paler than his usual
bright self.
tempered winds: Wandered into the arena as well, this time actually
remembering to wear his robes. He found a seat and sat down. Nod was offered
to those who were present.
A Dark Scion: Enter Apollyon, wearing his apprentice robes. He took up a
spot against the wall.
Warden Hashibara: Yuriko'd give a wave over to Apollyon, with a wink and a
smile.
x Silver Heat x: Akito stepped in the arena with his navy robes covering his
regular street clothes which appeared to be a non-descript black t-shirt and
faded jeans. Glancing around the arena, he moved to find a seat near the
group already gathered
Halo of Noire: (Basic rule is, ifyou enter your char, and stay for the
lesson, I'll count it as a session. If you miss more than half though, or
disappear halfway through it doesn't count)
damnable reverie: -slipped in-
x Silver Heat x: [d]
Azounabis: Having caught whim of a few details to this magic class he found
it helpful to educate himself on certain arcane arts even if as just a
spectator. The seemingly shadow bourne man made his way in with glided steps.
Vv Nuit vV: A silent entry and viola, she was there, easing down onto one of
the bleachers to settle in for a lesson.
SwordandBow: She followed Darien into the arena and sat down beside him,
holding his hand the whole time. -d-
Exalted Emerald: Dressed in her green robes, the very tall woman stepped
inside, taking a seat on the bottom row.
DragonLightMage: Ah, been so long that he set foot in here he was working on
new spells in his head as they spoke!
a reckIess heart: Class! Elahna ran in with her notebook in hand.
Amuiril Travm: Amuiril was dressed in his thick armor, with the blue mantel
wrapped around his shoulders as normal.
A Dark Scion: Wave given to Yuriko.
Halo of Noire: Melantha headed down the stairs from her office, and into the
arena where she held her classes. She was pleasantly surprised to see that it
had filled in the time she'd headed upstairs and come back down again.
Dressed in her formal
DragonLightMage: Wave given to everyone and a gently squeeze to sarah's
hand.
Halo of Noire: crimson robe, the one with tiny buttons to her neck, she
headed to the rise of wood on the sandy floor where her lectern stood. A wave
and bow of her head, feeling quite humbled by those that came to hear her, as
she stepped up and
Halo of Noire: behind the lectern. Folder opened, and she glanced out
looking to each and every one. "Before we begin, please state your college
rank and name for our records."
Exalted Emerald: "Apprentice Emmarie Galway."
masque of truth: “Apprentice Cierra Reive Zaltro.”
Warden Hashibara: "Apprentice Yuriko Hashibara."
Amuiril Travm: "Adept Amuiril Travm."
A Dark Scion: "Adept Apollyon Wulf."
x Silver Heat x: "Adept Akito Takano"
Angelic Omicidio: :Apprentice Amata Omicidio"
Azounabis: "Apprentice Azounabis." he improvised with a tight smile.
DragonLightMage: "Apprentice Darien Baronstar"
a reckIess heart: "Initiate Elahna Darkholme." She needed to work. Lots.
Halo of Noire: Glanced over to Azounabis and gave a smirk and a shake of her
head. "Visitors are welcome, feel free to observe in silence."
tempered winds: "Apprentice John Rain."
SwordandBow: Sarah was one of those visitors...sitting in
silence....observing
damnable reverie: ApprenticWinter Las'cer
masque of truth: Three of her legion were here. Cierra hid her smile behind
her hand, crossing her legs at the knee and keeping her attention on
Melantha.
Halo of Noire: "Is that everyone, then?" She glanced around giving them all
a smile. "Starting tonight, you will be given credit for attending classes as
one of your sessions, as long as it is agreeable to your Master. If your
Master determines
Halo of Noire: you need more private sessions, that is their prerogative. I
will also go back and look over the two classes I taught on the Schools of
Magic to see who were in attendance, and count that as a session as well."
She felt that was
Amuiril Travm: Amuiril took to the bleachers, sitting down in silence.
a reckIess heart: Her paper was pink. And her ink? Black. Elahna was poised
and ready to learn.
DragonLightMage: Mela was still his head magi mistress.
masque of truth: If Elahna’s paper was scented, Cierra would lose it.
a reckIess heart: It was.
a reckIess heart: Leave her alone.
Halo of Noire: fair enough. "Today's class is on writing a dynamic spell,
basically the different parts of a spell to assist you in developing your own
unique spells, which is a prerequisite of gaining rank in the college."
Azounabis: Silence was an art he performed with unparalleled precision. He
stood, not sat, along the back of the class in perfect position to send a
nervous chill of distrust down the spleen of one. The thought alone amused
him enough to
Azounabis: unstiffen his expression and smile faintly.
Halo of Noire: (If you wish to ask a question, please merely state a ? and I
will have Mela call on you. If you merely wish to insert a statement, use a
!)
Halo of Noire: (Such as this... if I wanted to ask a question I'd go...)
Halo of Noire: ?
Vv Nuit vV: A slight shift in her seat sideways allowed her to keep
Azounabis in her peripheral vision.
Amuiril Travm: Amuiril glanced aside towards Nuit, and moved to sit beside
her.
Halo of Noire: She opened her papers a little more, spreading them apart on
the lectern and would begin to speak again. "As I just said, each of you will
be required to write a few unique spells that are clearly yours. This doesn't
mean that you
Angelic Omicidio: ( brb outting her in bed )
Halo of Noire: won't be able to take a spell you find in a spellbook
elsewhere and rework it, you may, but it must truly be an effort that shows
me who you are as a spellcaster. Also, remember, that mages do have
limitations, there are very few
Halo of Noire: mages that are proficient with every type of spell out there,
and in my opinion a mage that is that spread out can't be as effective -
that's just my thoughts. Like doctors, or scholars, most mages specialize in
a few areas. Myself,
Halo of Noire: I specialize in blood, and shadow. There are a handful of
other types of spells I delve in but those are my specialty and what I should
be very good at. This doesn't mean you have to only cast from one school of
magic, but just
Halo of Noire: remember mages have limitations. Now, let's look at the parts
of a dynamic spell.." She paused, and took a sip of water from beneath the
lectern.
Halo of Noire: "The first part of any spell is simply, the Spell Name. You
should name your spell with a suitable name, in your own style. This could be
a creative name, a cute name, a name in another language, or even a name that
merely says what
Halo of Noire: the spell does, such as "Light Globe". Someone give me an
example of a spell they know that is very creative?"
Halo of Noire: "Spell name that is."
a reckIess heart: Turn pink!
Amuiril Travm: "Weird."
Azounabis: Silly, that's not a name. Pinkify... be realistic.
Halo of Noire: "That sounds like a spell that merely says what it does." She
chuckled softly.
A Dark Scion: "Psionic Puppetry?"
Azounabis: (that wasn't Azou... - shuts up- silence... forgot.)
Amuiril Travm: Did Mela mean 'Turn Pink', 'Weird', or both?
Halo of Noire: "Psionic Puppetry is creative, plus it pretty much tells what
the spell does as well, so that's an excellent spell name."
Halo of Noire: Mela is confused whether people are speaking or thinking!
a reckIess heart: Elahna liked pink. Lots and lots of pink. Notebook was
pressed to her knee to act as a stable slate for her to write on.
Amuiril Travm: Amuiril hummed, thinking of spells he encountered, as his own
were... limited.
Amuiril Travm: "What of 'missile storm'?"
Halo of Noire: "Ok so that's the first thing you need for a dynamic
spell....though often, it is the last part of the spell you complete." She
nodded and would move on. Spell name was pretty self explanatory.
tempered winds: Pink... Was she a Blood Rose legionnaire?
a reckIess heart: No.
a reckIess heart: She was one of Cierra’s.
Halo of Noire: "Missile Storm is a good example of a creative spell name as
well."
x Silver Heat x: Akito was partial to 'Death from Above' but that was just
him.
DragonLightMage: !
Halo of Noire: "Darien, do you have something to add?"
DragonLightMage: "I am thinking of one called "Charming Grace" Grins.
DragonLightMage: yes he was writing a charm spell.
tempered winds: Oh. Well that entire legion was obsessed with pink. It was
scary.
Halo of Noire: "Charming Grace? Hold that thought and shortly you can tell
us what that does exactly."
Exalted Emerald: Is in Blood Rose and NOT obsessed with pink. Obsessed with
green.
a reckIess heart: Elahna had plans to infiltrate Cierra’s inks and replace
all of her writing utensils with pink. It was her ultimate goal.
Halo of Noire: "Now, the next part of your spell is stating what school or
schools of magic that the spell belongs to. Remember, from our previous
classes, that a spell can sometimes be in more than one school of magic."
Halo of Noire: "Amuiril, which school of magic is Missile Storm in?"
Halo of Noire: "by the way if you need a refresher course on the Schools of
Magic, the recordings are available in our library (message board)"
Amuiril Travm: "It is of Evocation."
Halo of Noire: "Easy enough then, so when writing your spell, if it were
Missile Storm, after the name you'd mark that it belongs to the School of
Evocation. If at any point you have an issue determining which school your
unique spells go into,
Lejenta: (ni ni all, its bed time)
tempered winds: [ night ]
Halo of Noire: you are welcome to ask me."
tempered winds: John would pay Elahna big bucks to do the same to Akito.
a reckIess heart: It was a deal.
a reckIess heart: He better make it brownies.
Halo of Noire: "Now, the next part of your spell is the subclass. There are
an enormous amount of subclasses you could put spells under, such as
pyromancy or pyrokinetics, chronomancy, druidic, spellsinger, force, shadow,
blood.... I think you get
tempered winds: She could have a whole year's worth.
Halo of Noire: the picture. So, it's almost like a flow chart. There is a
blanket school of magic for your spell and then you specialize even
further..any questions about that?"
x Silver Heat x: The first place he'd look was the Blood Rose.
Halo of Noire: "For the psionics out there..." And she frowned a bit to not
see Skhorn for he needed to hear this..." This is where you'd state which
subclass of psionics you are using. I don't want to get into the discussion
of whether psionics
Warden Hashibara: ( Compy's crashing, gtg. )
Halo of Noire: are magic or not tonight, but in writing your spell, or
spell-ability, they come under schools of magic as well and then you'd choose
your psionic subclass."
Halo of Noire: (later!)
Halo of Noire: "The next part of a dynamic spell is the type of spell this
is. Now, I'm not talking about whether it's a fire spell, or a shadow spell,
or life force. I mean, is this an offensive or attack spell, or a defensive
spell, or does it
Halo of Noire: cause an effect, or heal someone. Easy enough right?"
Amuiril Travm: He nodded once.
x Silver Heat x: Akito nodded somewhat.
tempered winds: "Yes."
Halo of Noire: "Darien, what type of spell is your Charm spell you mentioned
earlier?"
Exalted Emerald: Takes a few notes on a small pad of paper, though, this was
something she was familiar with.
Halo of Noire: "Darien?"
DragonLightMage: "It is an effect spell, causing the opponment to become
suseptable to your commands, I beleive it would be an enchantment?"
masque of truth: Bueller ..
Vv Nuit vV: Creepy.
Halo of Noire: "Well for sake of time I will move on. We can take queestions
and such at the end. The next part of your spell is components. " She paused
and gave a nod to Darien and a smile. "There are various types of components
and in some
LovelyGeminiCat: -He would walk in. He would come in with his green robes.
He wold wave to those there. -
masque of truth: The master illusionist had a worried expression on her
face. Oh, no. Not more charm spells.
DragonLightMage: "well It if from the power of the fae that spell"
DragonLightMage: (is*)
Halo of Noire: cases, you will not need a component. For Weavers, we always
need some type of component. The types of components V for Vocals which is
basically the word, incantation or otherwise vocal portion of your spell.
Then you can mark
tempered winds: Nod was given to Maks before turning his attention back to
Mela.
Halo of Noire: something as an S for Somatic. Somatic components are merely
the motions you make. Such as Amuiril, in some cases, draws a circle. That is
his somatic motion for his certain spell. Coran stomps the ground for one of
her spells, that
Halo of Noire: is her somatic component. Some mages may need M for
Materials, especially our thaumaturgists. You might need a chunk of ice to
cast an ice spell, a bit of fur to complete a transformation, or a crystal
that crumbles when a spell is
Halo of Noire: completed. Then you have HS for Holy Symbol. Our divine
casters sometimes need a holy symbol to cast their magic, it could be
anything. Emma's holy symbol hangs around her neck, the tree of life." She
pointed to the woman in the
masque of truth: Mela could release a College of Mystical Arts alphabet if
she really wanted to. In before this idea is stolen.
Azounabis: Gazing fixedly upon the instructor he paid careful heed and put
to archive the familiar teachings. Magic had always been a fascinating
subject though his was an alternative art, yet the desire to learn was far
too compelling and
Halo of Noire: crowd. "And then you have O which is "Other" which would
encompass anything else as far as anything else you need, perhaps you have to
cast it on a full moon, or near water."
Azounabis: this one seemed to brim with arcane knowledge!
Halo of Noire: She smiled, flipping a page. She was nearly done with her
lecture, poor poor students. At least she was pretty to look at! "Next, you
determine the range, or area of effect of your spell. Such as, does your
spell effect one person
Halo of Noire: in visual range? 20 yards in radius? An entire room or
building? Do you need to touch a person or creature and effect that
creature?"
Halo of Noire: (sorry aol is lagging)
Halo of Noire: "Moving on, then you determine the target if you have not
determined it already in your range/area of effect. For instance, a spell
could affect one person, but for your target you specify that it affects only
those who are undead."
Halo of Noire: "Duration is self explanatory, how long does your spell last.
Until dispelled? 30 minutes? Is it an instantaneous effect?"
Halo of Noire: "And, then you actually write out in simple terms what your
spell does, which is the Description of course. This is where you scribe all
the fun, horrific or interesting things your spell does." She grinned and
glanced out across
Halo of Noire: everyone. "Your homework is to go back through the spells
you've already sent me, which all of you except perhaps the initiates have
done so, and write one of your spells in this way that I've explained. I want
to see each part of
Halo of Noire: the spell. It can be a spell you gained from elsewhere, but I
still wish to see it written up in this way. I would like to see this by next
Wednesday, you may send it to me or turn it in when you attend the class that
day, which
Halo of Noire: will be an interesting one entitled "What is Magic". "
Amuiril Travm: ?
Halo of Noire: (ooc portion - saving throw. not required of course, but if
you are doing something negative to someone, you may very well want to work
in a saving throw . not required for mage duels, but it's just a
Halo of Noire: good rule of thumb that if you are going to force something
on someone, such as a psionic spell that gets into someone's mind and makes
them dance a jig naked ona bar top... let them get a saving throw, usually
of 2d20, and a 2
Halo of Noire: needed to save. You can also write in variables for if they
get a 1 if you want.)
Halo of Noire: "Yes, Amuiril?"
Amuiril Travm: "What prevents a mage or Psion, such as one of Coran's
level, or even yours, from creating and utilizing spells that could instantly
overwhelm any conflict?"
Halo of Noire: She pursed her lips and thought about this. "This is actually
something I wanted to speak on. Honestly, if someone wants to write and learn
an instant death spell, or something so powerful that it counterracts
everything else, there
LovelyGeminiCat: (brb. _
Halo of Noire: is little that I can do. That is something that has ruined
many a mage through time - the desire to be far too powerful. Mages have
given up their lives, the lives of those they love, sacrificed the innocent,
allowed demons to
Halo of Noire: possess them - or just tried to summon a demon or other
strong entity to gain their power, and it turned against them. The strive to
be all powerful is something every mage has to deal with, and suffer the
consequences for. The only
Halo of Noire: thing I can do, is try to push the fact that we as mages,
while powerful, are not all powerful. We are not gods, we should be humble
and careful for the magic in this world can taint us very quickly."
masque of truth: The gods were a jealous bunch, for sure. Cierra pressed
her fingers to her eyes briefly at the mention of a mage’s ruination in the
pursuit of power.
Halo of Noire: (ooc wise, we have dice that keep us level headed, and I try
to talk to muns when they develop over the top spells for their chars, to try
and get them to recognize their levels and such)
Halo of Noire: "I'll take questions now, for anything I've spoken on."
DragonLightMage: ?
Halo of Noire: "Darien"
DragonLightMage: "Do you have a sample copy of a dynamic spell?"
Halo of Noire: "I do." She pulled out one sheet of parchment and stepped
down, handing it to him.
Halo of Noire:
thecrimsonstar.proboards.com/inde....play&thread=346
Azounabis: ?
Halo of Noire: (Scroll down, you'll see numerous spells written in this
format)
DragonLightMage: "Thank you"
Halo of Noire: "Yes?" She pointed to Azounabis as she stepped back up. "Feel
free to pass that around as well when you've looked at it Darien."
DragonLightMage: Passes the sheet around.
Azounabis: So as to strengthen the sound of his voice for sake of the class
he pushed himself slowly to a stand. "In all your experiences what would you
say has been the most formidable spell forged?"
Exalted Emerald: Glances at the sheet as it was passed around, and smirks as
she sees that it was some of her spells she'd written. She glanced back to
the Head Mistress.
Halo of Noire: "Hmm." She reached up and rubbed the back of her neck beneath
the soft curls of ebony, as she thought. "I suppose, I would have to go with
a instant kill spell such as the Power Word: Kill spell. I mean, if the
spellcaster is
Halo of Noire: powerful enough, then with one spoken word, the target is
dead. No questions asked, no fancy rituals, nothing. Just...dead."
Halo of Noire: "Would anyone else like to answer this question as to their
opinion? Amuiril?"
Amuiril Travm: "Hmm..."
Amuiril Travm: "Wish."
Azounabis: He considered the response carefully before lowering himself into
his chair carefully. Attention turned toward Amuiril past the small crowd.
Halo of Noire: "Class is officialy over, and I thank you for attending, if
you wish or need to leave now feel free." She motioned to them all. "Yes, i
was also thinking about Wish."
Amuiril Travm: "More than any other spell, that is the very one that
can bend and change reality."
Halo of Noire: "And, if you wished one dead, you could use that as well, so
actually it's even more powerful than the one I stated."
Amuiril Travm: "The source of the power does not matter. The effect
and result, however--does. However, safe guards are in place ,regarding that
spell."
Amuiril Travm: "Mortal minds are unable to comprehend the power of
creation, and all that's required to balance it. As such, their wish spells
are taken literally, and often twisted from neglect of details and
comprehension."
Angelic Omicidio: ......... She eyed Amuiril with that one.
DragonLightMage: "hmmm...."
Halo of Noire: Nods, and closes her eyes for a moment, brushing across her
forehead with her fingers, before opening them and smiling out at them all.
"Mmhm."
SwordandBow: "...."
Azounabis: "Debatable" he added calmly.
Halo of Noire: "Such as Midas wishing for everything he touched to turn to
gold. He lost his daughter."
tempered winds: John quietly excused himself.
Angelic Omicidio: "Easily debatable."
masque of truth: Interesting. She regarded the other Knight with a
thoughtful expression.
Amuiril Travm: "..."
Halo of Noire: Glanced between them, a dark brow lifting.
masque of truth: “And now with the awkward silence, because our egos are
bigger than this room,” she muttered. Derp.
LovelyGeminiCat: -He would come back as he would come back from the shadows.
Picky little buggers. He would then grumble that he missed class yet again.-
Halo of Noire: Chuckles. "Feel free to debate it, I for one would like to
know why you two think what Amuiril said about Wish is not true."
Angelic Omicidio: "It's the fact he said Mortals minds are unable to
comprehend something, implying all mortals would come to the same effects,
wantings and desires... at least for me."
Azounabis: "If I delve into the subject we're all going to be here for over
thrice the length of this session so far."
Halo of Noire: "I don't think it has to be a mortal mind, demi mortal and
immortals can still not think things through thoroughly and be completely
screwed with a Wish."
Azounabis: He raised a brow suggestion if that's really what they all
wanted.
Halo of Noire: "You are unable to summarize?" She asked Azounabis, her own
brow rising.
DragonLightMage: Basically he thought, she was saying that his opinion was
biaced being how he put it.
Azounabis: "To summarize such detail would be to endulge the workings of a
mortal mind. No, I cannot."
Amuiril Travm: "..."
Azounabis: Indulge* works just as good
Vv Nuit vV: In her little muddled thought, the question was like what came
first, the chicken or the egg? Who created the spell in the first place? Was
it a mortal? If so, if a mortal can create the spell, why can a mortal not
comprehend the
Vv Nuit vV: details and consequences that arise from such a spell? However,
this wasn't her forte so she reamined mute.
x Silver Heat x: Akito soon rose from his seat, deciding this subject was
too advanced for him to add any credible input. He headed out of the arena
for now.
Angelic Omicidio: "You do have to remember that some of us grew up in
locations were mortality matters as much as the name."
masque of truth: “Creation is something only the gods may do. Creation
implies bringing forth something from nothing. Hence, we can’t comprehend
it.” She was being a little obnoxious, but she was a little irritated.
Halo of Noire: "I honestly don't think it has anything to do with
mortality." Shrugs.
Azounabis: "And how would you define a god?"
Amuiril Travm: "As a god."
Azounabis: "You must be of mortal design."
Angelic Omicidio: "I could get into my false God debate that I was raised in
where we were orded to kill every immortal in site."
Azounabis: The moment the instructor made her point he happened, in her
direction, a knowing smile as if to say, Bingo.
Halo of Noire: "I've known some very stupid immortals who given the
opportunity to make a Wish of anything they ever desired, would wish for sex
and free booze." Smirks.
Azounabis: "Within each realm the story differs of course. In some places,
gods don't even exist. I guess we'll never truly know, but never say never."
masque of truth: She bit her lip to suppress her laugh at Amuiril’s answer.
“How do you know they don’t?” she challenged.
A Dark Scion: "Tha Wish spell does nae depend on mortality, but of tha
casters' ability ta perform tha spell, as well as his forethought in what
goes inta tha spell."
Azounabis: He just shook his head at the point made by the instructor,
suppressing a chuckle.
Angelic Omicidio: "It's rhydin you don't need to wish for that.. just walk
towards the south side of Rhydin and people hold up signs looking for it." Go
the bottom half of the room list!
Halo of Noire: Chuckles.
masque of truth: .. seriously, when did Fenris get an accent.
Azounabis: Maybe someone wished it upon him.
masque of truth: I lol’d irl.
Angelic Omicidio: It was when he got a new body.
Halo of Noire: "Alright, well, does anyone have any other questions?"
Vv Nuit vV: Quietly she rose and exited the arena to go ...do something that
didn't require a lot of thought.
look. Was a bit sick!
masque of truth: Cierra entered, adjusting the sleeves of her apprentice
robes to look more presentable in public. Her dark hair was tied up. Was
anyone else feeling hot?
DragonLightMage: wears his apprentis robes, luckily his healing glow saved
him from being in a coma! His eyes themselves were a bit paler than his usual
bright self.
tempered winds: Wandered into the arena as well, this time actually
remembering to wear his robes. He found a seat and sat down. Nod was offered
to those who were present.
A Dark Scion: Enter Apollyon, wearing his apprentice robes. He took up a
spot against the wall.
Warden Hashibara: Yuriko'd give a wave over to Apollyon, with a wink and a
smile.
x Silver Heat x: Akito stepped in the arena with his navy robes covering his
regular street clothes which appeared to be a non-descript black t-shirt and
faded jeans. Glancing around the arena, he moved to find a seat near the
group already gathered
Halo of Noire: (Basic rule is, ifyou enter your char, and stay for the
lesson, I'll count it as a session. If you miss more than half though, or
disappear halfway through it doesn't count)
damnable reverie: -slipped in-
x Silver Heat x: [d]
Azounabis: Having caught whim of a few details to this magic class he found
it helpful to educate himself on certain arcane arts even if as just a
spectator. The seemingly shadow bourne man made his way in with glided steps.
Vv Nuit vV: A silent entry and viola, she was there, easing down onto one of
the bleachers to settle in for a lesson.
SwordandBow: She followed Darien into the arena and sat down beside him,
holding his hand the whole time. -d-
Exalted Emerald: Dressed in her green robes, the very tall woman stepped
inside, taking a seat on the bottom row.
DragonLightMage: Ah, been so long that he set foot in here he was working on
new spells in his head as they spoke!
a reckIess heart: Class! Elahna ran in with her notebook in hand.
Amuiril Travm: Amuiril was dressed in his thick armor, with the blue mantel
wrapped around his shoulders as normal.
A Dark Scion: Wave given to Yuriko.
Halo of Noire: Melantha headed down the stairs from her office, and into the
arena where she held her classes. She was pleasantly surprised to see that it
had filled in the time she'd headed upstairs and come back down again.
Dressed in her formal
DragonLightMage: Wave given to everyone and a gently squeeze to sarah's
hand.
Halo of Noire: crimson robe, the one with tiny buttons to her neck, she
headed to the rise of wood on the sandy floor where her lectern stood. A wave
and bow of her head, feeling quite humbled by those that came to hear her, as
she stepped up and
Halo of Noire: behind the lectern. Folder opened, and she glanced out
looking to each and every one. "Before we begin, please state your college
rank and name for our records."
Exalted Emerald: "Apprentice Emmarie Galway."
masque of truth: “Apprentice Cierra Reive Zaltro.”
Warden Hashibara: "Apprentice Yuriko Hashibara."
Amuiril Travm: "Adept Amuiril Travm."
A Dark Scion: "Adept Apollyon Wulf."
x Silver Heat x: "Adept Akito Takano"
Angelic Omicidio: :Apprentice Amata Omicidio"
Azounabis: "Apprentice Azounabis." he improvised with a tight smile.
DragonLightMage: "Apprentice Darien Baronstar"
a reckIess heart: "Initiate Elahna Darkholme." She needed to work. Lots.
Halo of Noire: Glanced over to Azounabis and gave a smirk and a shake of her
head. "Visitors are welcome, feel free to observe in silence."
tempered winds: "Apprentice John Rain."
SwordandBow: Sarah was one of those visitors...sitting in
silence....observing
damnable reverie: ApprenticWinter Las'cer
masque of truth: Three of her legion were here. Cierra hid her smile behind
her hand, crossing her legs at the knee and keeping her attention on
Melantha.
Halo of Noire: "Is that everyone, then?" She glanced around giving them all
a smile. "Starting tonight, you will be given credit for attending classes as
one of your sessions, as long as it is agreeable to your Master. If your
Master determines
Halo of Noire: you need more private sessions, that is their prerogative. I
will also go back and look over the two classes I taught on the Schools of
Magic to see who were in attendance, and count that as a session as well."
She felt that was
Amuiril Travm: Amuiril took to the bleachers, sitting down in silence.
a reckIess heart: Her paper was pink. And her ink? Black. Elahna was poised
and ready to learn.
DragonLightMage: Mela was still his head magi mistress.
masque of truth: If Elahna’s paper was scented, Cierra would lose it.
a reckIess heart: It was.
a reckIess heart: Leave her alone.
Halo of Noire: fair enough. "Today's class is on writing a dynamic spell,
basically the different parts of a spell to assist you in developing your own
unique spells, which is a prerequisite of gaining rank in the college."
Azounabis: Silence was an art he performed with unparalleled precision. He
stood, not sat, along the back of the class in perfect position to send a
nervous chill of distrust down the spleen of one. The thought alone amused
him enough to
Azounabis: unstiffen his expression and smile faintly.
Halo of Noire: (If you wish to ask a question, please merely state a ? and I
will have Mela call on you. If you merely wish to insert a statement, use a
!)
Halo of Noire: (Such as this... if I wanted to ask a question I'd go...)
Halo of Noire: ?
Vv Nuit vV: A slight shift in her seat sideways allowed her to keep
Azounabis in her peripheral vision.
Amuiril Travm: Amuiril glanced aside towards Nuit, and moved to sit beside
her.
Halo of Noire: She opened her papers a little more, spreading them apart on
the lectern and would begin to speak again. "As I just said, each of you will
be required to write a few unique spells that are clearly yours. This doesn't
mean that you
Angelic Omicidio: ( brb outting her in bed )
Halo of Noire: won't be able to take a spell you find in a spellbook
elsewhere and rework it, you may, but it must truly be an effort that shows
me who you are as a spellcaster. Also, remember, that mages do have
limitations, there are very few
Halo of Noire: mages that are proficient with every type of spell out there,
and in my opinion a mage that is that spread out can't be as effective -
that's just my thoughts. Like doctors, or scholars, most mages specialize in
a few areas. Myself,
Halo of Noire: I specialize in blood, and shadow. There are a handful of
other types of spells I delve in but those are my specialty and what I should
be very good at. This doesn't mean you have to only cast from one school of
magic, but just
Halo of Noire: remember mages have limitations. Now, let's look at the parts
of a dynamic spell.." She paused, and took a sip of water from beneath the
lectern.
Halo of Noire: "The first part of any spell is simply, the Spell Name. You
should name your spell with a suitable name, in your own style. This could be
a creative name, a cute name, a name in another language, or even a name that
merely says what
Halo of Noire: the spell does, such as "Light Globe". Someone give me an
example of a spell they know that is very creative?"
Halo of Noire: "Spell name that is."
a reckIess heart: Turn pink!
Amuiril Travm: "Weird."
Azounabis: Silly, that's not a name. Pinkify... be realistic.
Halo of Noire: "That sounds like a spell that merely says what it does." She
chuckled softly.
A Dark Scion: "Psionic Puppetry?"
Azounabis: (that wasn't Azou... - shuts up- silence... forgot.)
Amuiril Travm: Did Mela mean 'Turn Pink', 'Weird', or both?
Halo of Noire: "Psionic Puppetry is creative, plus it pretty much tells what
the spell does as well, so that's an excellent spell name."
Halo of Noire: Mela is confused whether people are speaking or thinking!
a reckIess heart: Elahna liked pink. Lots and lots of pink. Notebook was
pressed to her knee to act as a stable slate for her to write on.
Amuiril Travm: Amuiril hummed, thinking of spells he encountered, as his own
were... limited.
Amuiril Travm: "What of 'missile storm'?"
Halo of Noire: "Ok so that's the first thing you need for a dynamic
spell....though often, it is the last part of the spell you complete." She
nodded and would move on. Spell name was pretty self explanatory.
tempered winds: Pink... Was she a Blood Rose legionnaire?
a reckIess heart: No.
a reckIess heart: She was one of Cierra’s.
Halo of Noire: "Missile Storm is a good example of a creative spell name as
well."
x Silver Heat x: Akito was partial to 'Death from Above' but that was just
him.
DragonLightMage: !
Halo of Noire: "Darien, do you have something to add?"
DragonLightMage: "I am thinking of one called "Charming Grace" Grins.
DragonLightMage: yes he was writing a charm spell.
tempered winds: Oh. Well that entire legion was obsessed with pink. It was
scary.
Halo of Noire: "Charming Grace? Hold that thought and shortly you can tell
us what that does exactly."
Exalted Emerald: Is in Blood Rose and NOT obsessed with pink. Obsessed with
green.
a reckIess heart: Elahna had plans to infiltrate Cierra’s inks and replace
all of her writing utensils with pink. It was her ultimate goal.
Halo of Noire: "Now, the next part of your spell is stating what school or
schools of magic that the spell belongs to. Remember, from our previous
classes, that a spell can sometimes be in more than one school of magic."
Halo of Noire: "Amuiril, which school of magic is Missile Storm in?"
Halo of Noire: "by the way if you need a refresher course on the Schools of
Magic, the recordings are available in our library (message board)"
Amuiril Travm: "It is of Evocation."
Halo of Noire: "Easy enough then, so when writing your spell, if it were
Missile Storm, after the name you'd mark that it belongs to the School of
Evocation. If at any point you have an issue determining which school your
unique spells go into,
Lejenta: (ni ni all, its bed time)
tempered winds: [ night ]
Halo of Noire: you are welcome to ask me."
tempered winds: John would pay Elahna big bucks to do the same to Akito.
a reckIess heart: It was a deal.
a reckIess heart: He better make it brownies.
Halo of Noire: "Now, the next part of your spell is the subclass. There are
an enormous amount of subclasses you could put spells under, such as
pyromancy or pyrokinetics, chronomancy, druidic, spellsinger, force, shadow,
blood.... I think you get
tempered winds: She could have a whole year's worth.
Halo of Noire: the picture. So, it's almost like a flow chart. There is a
blanket school of magic for your spell and then you specialize even
further..any questions about that?"
x Silver Heat x: The first place he'd look was the Blood Rose.
Halo of Noire: "For the psionics out there..." And she frowned a bit to not
see Skhorn for he needed to hear this..." This is where you'd state which
subclass of psionics you are using. I don't want to get into the discussion
of whether psionics
Warden Hashibara: ( Compy's crashing, gtg. )
Halo of Noire: are magic or not tonight, but in writing your spell, or
spell-ability, they come under schools of magic as well and then you'd choose
your psionic subclass."
Halo of Noire: (later!)
Halo of Noire: "The next part of a dynamic spell is the type of spell this
is. Now, I'm not talking about whether it's a fire spell, or a shadow spell,
or life force. I mean, is this an offensive or attack spell, or a defensive
spell, or does it
Halo of Noire: cause an effect, or heal someone. Easy enough right?"
Amuiril Travm: He nodded once.
x Silver Heat x: Akito nodded somewhat.
tempered winds: "Yes."
Halo of Noire: "Darien, what type of spell is your Charm spell you mentioned
earlier?"
Exalted Emerald: Takes a few notes on a small pad of paper, though, this was
something she was familiar with.
Halo of Noire: "Darien?"
DragonLightMage: "It is an effect spell, causing the opponment to become
suseptable to your commands, I beleive it would be an enchantment?"
masque of truth: Bueller ..
Vv Nuit vV: Creepy.
Halo of Noire: "Well for sake of time I will move on. We can take queestions
and such at the end. The next part of your spell is components. " She paused
and gave a nod to Darien and a smile. "There are various types of components
and in some
LovelyGeminiCat: -He would walk in. He would come in with his green robes.
He wold wave to those there. -
masque of truth: The master illusionist had a worried expression on her
face. Oh, no. Not more charm spells.
DragonLightMage: "well It if from the power of the fae that spell"
DragonLightMage: (is*)
Halo of Noire: cases, you will not need a component. For Weavers, we always
need some type of component. The types of components V for Vocals which is
basically the word, incantation or otherwise vocal portion of your spell.
Then you can mark
tempered winds: Nod was given to Maks before turning his attention back to
Mela.
Halo of Noire: something as an S for Somatic. Somatic components are merely
the motions you make. Such as Amuiril, in some cases, draws a circle. That is
his somatic motion for his certain spell. Coran stomps the ground for one of
her spells, that
Halo of Noire: is her somatic component. Some mages may need M for
Materials, especially our thaumaturgists. You might need a chunk of ice to
cast an ice spell, a bit of fur to complete a transformation, or a crystal
that crumbles when a spell is
Halo of Noire: completed. Then you have HS for Holy Symbol. Our divine
casters sometimes need a holy symbol to cast their magic, it could be
anything. Emma's holy symbol hangs around her neck, the tree of life." She
pointed to the woman in the
masque of truth: Mela could release a College of Mystical Arts alphabet if
she really wanted to. In before this idea is stolen.
Azounabis: Gazing fixedly upon the instructor he paid careful heed and put
to archive the familiar teachings. Magic had always been a fascinating
subject though his was an alternative art, yet the desire to learn was far
too compelling and
Halo of Noire: crowd. "And then you have O which is "Other" which would
encompass anything else as far as anything else you need, perhaps you have to
cast it on a full moon, or near water."
Azounabis: this one seemed to brim with arcane knowledge!
Halo of Noire: She smiled, flipping a page. She was nearly done with her
lecture, poor poor students. At least she was pretty to look at! "Next, you
determine the range, or area of effect of your spell. Such as, does your
spell effect one person
Halo of Noire: in visual range? 20 yards in radius? An entire room or
building? Do you need to touch a person or creature and effect that
creature?"
Halo of Noire: (sorry aol is lagging)
Halo of Noire: "Moving on, then you determine the target if you have not
determined it already in your range/area of effect. For instance, a spell
could affect one person, but for your target you specify that it affects only
those who are undead."
Halo of Noire: "Duration is self explanatory, how long does your spell last.
Until dispelled? 30 minutes? Is it an instantaneous effect?"
Halo of Noire: "And, then you actually write out in simple terms what your
spell does, which is the Description of course. This is where you scribe all
the fun, horrific or interesting things your spell does." She grinned and
glanced out across
Halo of Noire: everyone. "Your homework is to go back through the spells
you've already sent me, which all of you except perhaps the initiates have
done so, and write one of your spells in this way that I've explained. I want
to see each part of
Halo of Noire: the spell. It can be a spell you gained from elsewhere, but I
still wish to see it written up in this way. I would like to see this by next
Wednesday, you may send it to me or turn it in when you attend the class that
day, which
Halo of Noire: will be an interesting one entitled "What is Magic". "
Amuiril Travm: ?
Halo of Noire: (ooc portion - saving throw. not required of course, but if
you are doing something negative to someone, you may very well want to work
in a saving throw . not required for mage duels, but it's just a
Halo of Noire: good rule of thumb that if you are going to force something
on someone, such as a psionic spell that gets into someone's mind and makes
them dance a jig naked ona bar top... let them get a saving throw, usually
of 2d20, and a 2
Halo of Noire: needed to save. You can also write in variables for if they
get a 1 if you want.)
Halo of Noire: "Yes, Amuiril?"
Amuiril Travm: "What prevents a mage or Psion, such as one of Coran's
level, or even yours, from creating and utilizing spells that could instantly
overwhelm any conflict?"
Halo of Noire: She pursed her lips and thought about this. "This is actually
something I wanted to speak on. Honestly, if someone wants to write and learn
an instant death spell, or something so powerful that it counterracts
everything else, there
LovelyGeminiCat: (brb. _
Halo of Noire: is little that I can do. That is something that has ruined
many a mage through time - the desire to be far too powerful. Mages have
given up their lives, the lives of those they love, sacrificed the innocent,
allowed demons to
Halo of Noire: possess them - or just tried to summon a demon or other
strong entity to gain their power, and it turned against them. The strive to
be all powerful is something every mage has to deal with, and suffer the
consequences for. The only
Halo of Noire: thing I can do, is try to push the fact that we as mages,
while powerful, are not all powerful. We are not gods, we should be humble
and careful for the magic in this world can taint us very quickly."
masque of truth: The gods were a jealous bunch, for sure. Cierra pressed
her fingers to her eyes briefly at the mention of a mage’s ruination in the
pursuit of power.
Halo of Noire: (ooc wise, we have dice that keep us level headed, and I try
to talk to muns when they develop over the top spells for their chars, to try
and get them to recognize their levels and such)
Halo of Noire: "I'll take questions now, for anything I've spoken on."
DragonLightMage: ?
Halo of Noire: "Darien"
DragonLightMage: "Do you have a sample copy of a dynamic spell?"
Halo of Noire: "I do." She pulled out one sheet of parchment and stepped
down, handing it to him.
Halo of Noire:
thecrimsonstar.proboards.com/inde....play&thread=346
Azounabis: ?
Halo of Noire: (Scroll down, you'll see numerous spells written in this
format)
DragonLightMage: "Thank you"
Halo of Noire: "Yes?" She pointed to Azounabis as she stepped back up. "Feel
free to pass that around as well when you've looked at it Darien."
DragonLightMage: Passes the sheet around.
Azounabis: So as to strengthen the sound of his voice for sake of the class
he pushed himself slowly to a stand. "In all your experiences what would you
say has been the most formidable spell forged?"
Exalted Emerald: Glances at the sheet as it was passed around, and smirks as
she sees that it was some of her spells she'd written. She glanced back to
the Head Mistress.
Halo of Noire: "Hmm." She reached up and rubbed the back of her neck beneath
the soft curls of ebony, as she thought. "I suppose, I would have to go with
a instant kill spell such as the Power Word: Kill spell. I mean, if the
spellcaster is
Halo of Noire: powerful enough, then with one spoken word, the target is
dead. No questions asked, no fancy rituals, nothing. Just...dead."
Halo of Noire: "Would anyone else like to answer this question as to their
opinion? Amuiril?"
Amuiril Travm: "Hmm..."
Amuiril Travm: "Wish."
Azounabis: He considered the response carefully before lowering himself into
his chair carefully. Attention turned toward Amuiril past the small crowd.
Halo of Noire: "Class is officialy over, and I thank you for attending, if
you wish or need to leave now feel free." She motioned to them all. "Yes, i
was also thinking about Wish."
Amuiril Travm: "More than any other spell, that is the very one that
can bend and change reality."
Halo of Noire: "And, if you wished one dead, you could use that as well, so
actually it's even more powerful than the one I stated."
Amuiril Travm: "The source of the power does not matter. The effect
and result, however--does. However, safe guards are in place ,regarding that
spell."
Amuiril Travm: "Mortal minds are unable to comprehend the power of
creation, and all that's required to balance it. As such, their wish spells
are taken literally, and often twisted from neglect of details and
comprehension."
Angelic Omicidio: ......... She eyed Amuiril with that one.
DragonLightMage: "hmmm...."
Halo of Noire: Nods, and closes her eyes for a moment, brushing across her
forehead with her fingers, before opening them and smiling out at them all.
"Mmhm."
SwordandBow: "...."
Azounabis: "Debatable" he added calmly.
Halo of Noire: "Such as Midas wishing for everything he touched to turn to
gold. He lost his daughter."
tempered winds: John quietly excused himself.
Angelic Omicidio: "Easily debatable."
masque of truth: Interesting. She regarded the other Knight with a
thoughtful expression.
Amuiril Travm: "..."
Halo of Noire: Glanced between them, a dark brow lifting.
masque of truth: “And now with the awkward silence, because our egos are
bigger than this room,” she muttered. Derp.
LovelyGeminiCat: -He would come back as he would come back from the shadows.
Picky little buggers. He would then grumble that he missed class yet again.-
Halo of Noire: Chuckles. "Feel free to debate it, I for one would like to
know why you two think what Amuiril said about Wish is not true."
Angelic Omicidio: "It's the fact he said Mortals minds are unable to
comprehend something, implying all mortals would come to the same effects,
wantings and desires... at least for me."
Azounabis: "If I delve into the subject we're all going to be here for over
thrice the length of this session so far."
Halo of Noire: "I don't think it has to be a mortal mind, demi mortal and
immortals can still not think things through thoroughly and be completely
screwed with a Wish."
Azounabis: He raised a brow suggestion if that's really what they all
wanted.
Halo of Noire: "You are unable to summarize?" She asked Azounabis, her own
brow rising.
DragonLightMage: Basically he thought, she was saying that his opinion was
biaced being how he put it.
Azounabis: "To summarize such detail would be to endulge the workings of a
mortal mind. No, I cannot."
Amuiril Travm: "..."
Azounabis: Indulge* works just as good
Vv Nuit vV: In her little muddled thought, the question was like what came
first, the chicken or the egg? Who created the spell in the first place? Was
it a mortal? If so, if a mortal can create the spell, why can a mortal not
comprehend the
Vv Nuit vV: details and consequences that arise from such a spell? However,
this wasn't her forte so she reamined mute.
x Silver Heat x: Akito soon rose from his seat, deciding this subject was
too advanced for him to add any credible input. He headed out of the arena
for now.
Angelic Omicidio: "You do have to remember that some of us grew up in
locations were mortality matters as much as the name."
masque of truth: “Creation is something only the gods may do. Creation
implies bringing forth something from nothing. Hence, we can’t comprehend
it.” She was being a little obnoxious, but she was a little irritated.
Halo of Noire: "I honestly don't think it has anything to do with
mortality." Shrugs.
Azounabis: "And how would you define a god?"
Amuiril Travm: "As a god."
Azounabis: "You must be of mortal design."
Angelic Omicidio: "I could get into my false God debate that I was raised in
where we were orded to kill every immortal in site."
Azounabis: The moment the instructor made her point he happened, in her
direction, a knowing smile as if to say, Bingo.
Halo of Noire: "I've known some very stupid immortals who given the
opportunity to make a Wish of anything they ever desired, would wish for sex
and free booze." Smirks.
Azounabis: "Within each realm the story differs of course. In some places,
gods don't even exist. I guess we'll never truly know, but never say never."
masque of truth: She bit her lip to suppress her laugh at Amuiril’s answer.
“How do you know they don’t?” she challenged.
A Dark Scion: "Tha Wish spell does nae depend on mortality, but of tha
casters' ability ta perform tha spell, as well as his forethought in what
goes inta tha spell."
Azounabis: He just shook his head at the point made by the instructor,
suppressing a chuckle.
Angelic Omicidio: "It's rhydin you don't need to wish for that.. just walk
towards the south side of Rhydin and people hold up signs looking for it." Go
the bottom half of the room list!
Halo of Noire: Chuckles.
masque of truth: .. seriously, when did Fenris get an accent.
Azounabis: Maybe someone wished it upon him.
masque of truth: I lol’d irl.
Angelic Omicidio: It was when he got a new body.
Halo of Noire: "Alright, well, does anyone have any other questions?"
Vv Nuit vV: Quietly she rose and exited the arena to go ...do something that
didn't require a lot of thought.
