Philomath Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 So I was listening to a great NPR show the other day with guest Brene Brown. At one point she was talking about Core Values. That got me thinking about what my core values would be and I thought that they sounded a lot like Shardic Intents. So here is a list she has of different values. Some of them don’t really seem like Intents much and of course it isn’t a comprehensive list. http://www.balancingwell.com/uploads/2/2/0/6/22063438/exercise_valueslist.pdf But if you Ascended to a Shard, what Intent would you want to have? And if you want to add what it would look like if you invested in a planet that could be fun too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagliacci Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 I suppose Intuition it would an interesting Shard to Ascend to. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onslaught Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) Understanding/Enlightenment. People trying to attain a higher truth and ascending to what they believe is enlightenment. Of course things would go horribly wrong in the persuit of understanding. Inhumane and unethical experiments performed in the guise of true understanding. The external persuit. There would be a sect of people finding peace within themselves, looking internally for understanding to counteract the external. Sports would exist purely to explore physics and an understanding of how to make equipment better pr play the sport better but not enjoying it. I envision the word to be somewhat sterile though as rationality has struggled power away from empathy.

Philomath Posted October 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 I guess I’ll answer my own question now. I love how all of these have been about knowledge and learning so far. Things like that are my second choice. But if I were to pick right now an Intent it would be Compassion. I decided that if I were to invest in a world, the magic would manifest in ways that would be beneficial to helping others. And it would be a magic that anyone on the world could learn. Because what is more compassionate than teaching or giving someone the skills they need to take care of and better themselves? And if anyone in world created a religion based on me, its only tenant would be “Do Good.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toaster Retribution Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Hopefully the Shard of Wit or Comedy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathrangking Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Creativity. Everything on said world would be capable only of creating good things. No war, no death, no famine, or slavery would exist. The sole currency would be creative works. The mantra add something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onslaught Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 I was originally going to go with empathy but I tried answering this from a storytelling POV. Like ruin, there is a need for things to be destroyed. It gives humanity something to overcome, to aspire to. The conflict of humanity is to see that compassion and empathy are they highest forms of understanding. Knowledge does not equal understanding. My mantra would be use wisdom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent34 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Not quite sure what I'd want to have. If it's based on me it'd likely be something like Avoidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Sorana Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Imagination. My planet would change, when you concentrate on something and therefore make it real. So it would be hard to discern between reality and imagination, which would be fine for me, because since I am Imagination I could create reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what the Cognitive Realm would be like for a planet so mutable in response to the mind. I think it would be pretty confusing. As for those who live there: I thought that maybe there were some kinds of animals that specialize on creating their kind of food and others that prey on the investiture used to create that. And then I thought, that since I am the Shard I could choose who to bestow my investiture on and therefore I could reduce the confusion by not bestowing everybody, but only a part. And maybe it would cost them a price, like in White Sand the catch about the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought of a few more Shards for me. Determination, compassion or Social Awkwardness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I am here. Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) Using how I feel right now as a base, Boredom. There is no magic on my planet.
