Magic Backstory

[MattyK]

Mmkay, but back to other things at hand...

Ley Lines and such... should they be added too?

I think Ley Lines are a very good thing, but how do you want to use them ingame? Everybody could create a character with the name of the ley line and say "HAI I HAS NAME LIEK LINE! GIMMEH MAH POWARZ!" (Sorry for that leet-speach.. I need that sometimes. ._.)

I didn't consider that, although the thought should be clarified as Mingery and just blatant Metagame.

[Plunger]

Ley Lines would be weird to map though.

[Akira]

Uhm, sorry. <_>

Who says we have to "map" em?
I could just spawn a few good props, and assemble them in a matter that resembles one!

[Plunger]

Yes, That good work, Also, When you make a new apprentice have their elemental magicite spring up on a ley line signaling to people that a mage was given his full power.

[MattyK]

Hmm...
Actually, maybe have the Apprentice harvest a sample of his Elemental Magicite for his stave...
Wow, alot of possibilities, and it's looking easier to understand than Olden.

[Plunger]

The stave idea is really good.

[MattyK]

Going to bed, continue the discussion, but don't get into any big descisions.

[Nines]

Kinda off topic from this, But I agree with most of the others, no damn Mage's Guild. A small council is a better idea, with some of the most powerful ones in it. And for Necromancers, support, build up your mage power, and turn to the dark side if ya want.

[Nines]

Also, (sorry if this was already posted, didnt read it all)

MAGIC SPECIALIZATION YAAAAY. Let's say an Ice mage takes you under his wing, he's not gunna teach you Earth magic, he's gunna teach you Ice!

[Plunger]

Nine read the whole topic, It's got that covered.

[Nines]

Will later, but good.

[MattyK]

FUCK YEAH! EAT MAI CANON!:

But otherwise, Discuss!

[Dom]

Me, Nikolaz and Akira are working on something..

[MattyK]

That would be unfair if only two people had the power to kill entire armies. Also, I mean like if your the head wizard, you pick the people to train and once their finished after maybe a week or longer they get to pick their magic decendance.

Well which would you rather have?
2 people with the Power to kill armies, plus the Apprentice System.
Or 30 or so "LOLMAGE" abusers, who just play for the sake of killing people with Magic?

I prefer the idea of giant stones (magicite) throughout different continents, these stones grant great powers to people but are sadly gone due to overuse (they corroded away or something).. This would tie into the backstory im doing for the Order of Merlin. (It will also tie into the tale of the holy grail).

They are not Overused, just corrupted with the self-destructive Zealotry of "Kira's Sacrifice", which means if any Magic users other than the Daern attempt to apporach em, Killed + Kaboom.

I'm not even picking a faction. Waiting for the server to be up so I can try to apply IC'ly to be MattyK's apprentice.

It may be easy for one of my kind to make a great Backstory, but it takes months of Fantasy Novels to make something truly epic.

[Plunger]

Then me reading books like, The Samerilion, Lord of the Rings, Dragon Blood, and others.

[Nikolaz72]

Does Discworld count?

[Plunger]

Matty, I thought you weren't making a faction on the forum which is why I said that. I'll applying for yours when your done.

[Krieg]

GUYS GUYS! SINCE I AM A MAGICIAN I HAVE CREATED A SPELL! LOOK!

ALLAH AKBAR!

[Plunger]

Krieg I recommend you stop being a douche that you weren't chosen for the so called, "OP'ed" classes and grow up....
