Channelknight Fadran Posted October 18, 2022 Author Posted October 18, 2022 I’m off work at 9:30 MDT. Once I get home I’ll make the RP thread. We will continue to use this one for worldbuilding development, and continue using the doc for compiling canon.
Bird Furious she/her/un/important Posted October 18, 2022 Posted October 18, 2022 Cool. I’m at school a lot of the day; I only have maybe half an hour a day. Working on that though…

The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted October 18, 2022 Posted October 18, 2022 Tis going to be great fun.
Ranryu she/her Posted October 18, 2022 Posted October 18, 2022 Quote Why didn't anyone tell me this existed? I've been considering joining a RP besides the insanity clinic, but they all seemed overly complicated and generally intimidating. Is it too late to want in?

Channelknight Fadran Posted October 18, 2022 Author Posted October 18, 2022 I'm about to begin work on the world map. For the time being, just get your characters in.
Mr. Misting he/him Posted October 18, 2022 Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) Do I just start adding stuff to the worlding document? How much freedom of creativity do I have, I don't want to mess anything up. I have very weird thoughts for a character, is that ok or should I keep things simpler?

xinoehp512 he/him Posted October 18, 2022 Posted October 18, 2022 Quote Quite a lot, ideally. The most important thing is that any magic you create fits into the elemental framework: What defines a magic system is its elements. An element is a basic aspect of nature, representing a crucial tenet of the world’s founding. Users of a magic system draw in power from one or more of their elements. They can then use that power to manipulate one or more of their elements. Other than that, try not to step on anyone else's toes and you should be fine!
xinoehp512 he/him Posted October 18, 2022 Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) Quote Sorry for the double post, but I would like to express an idea. Magic systems should, to some extent, be localized. Each people/area has their own magic, and generally speaking people from that area have that magic. I would like to codify this in the laws for this world somehow. Most of the systems described so far seem to be genetic in inheritance. Are there objections to instituting this as a general rule? @Channelknight Fadran Edited October 18, 2022 by xinoehp512

Here's how I'm having essence work in a more localized way: Anyone can use the lower forms of essence, starting a fire, digesting the energy of food, etc. In order to do the big stuff, make a fireball, jump of trees, turn water to wine, etc., one must be a mage. In order to become a mage, you must bond with essence at an essence shrine, of which there are only a couple for each type of essence (between 8 and 12 total). Some of these are well known, some closely guarded secrets, some just unfound.

Channelknight Fadran Posted October 18, 2022 Author Posted October 18, 2022 I am going to mandate this: Magic systems are all localized to an extent. Often they are genetic, and when they aren't they're only practiced by certain cultures. It is certainly possible to possess more than one form of magic, but doing so would require either a mixed bloodline or to fully participate in another culture for long enough to learn their magic.

Would it make sense to say that there are two ways to gain a magic system- by birth or by initiation?
Channelknight Fadran Posted October 18, 2022 Author Posted October 18, 2022 To make things very concise? Yes. I agree. I'll put it in the doc.
Bird Furious she/her/un/important Posted October 18, 2022 Posted October 18, 2022 When do we roleplay?
Channelknight Fadran Posted October 18, 2022 Author Posted October 18, 2022 Quote RULE NUMBER ONE When in a roleplay thread, all Out-of-Character chat is in quote boxes. RULE NUMBER TWO The roleplay has already begun. That isn't a rule.
Bird Furious she/her/un/important Posted October 18, 2022 Posted October 18, 2022 Quote I knew that... Is as testing you. To see if you knew.
