Heck, Kyre could even be a potential parent, Since metalworking/smithing has a strong involvement in war after the stone age.

On that Note, I hope we don't rapidly shift into medieval fantasy style warfare as quickly as the last iteration did.

Considering Vestec has only created two, I don't know exactly how many really roam the planet right now.

@Scarifar

So Niciel has not noticed the Ashlings roaming the world yet? You'd think with her wisps that she would, expecially since said wisp would likely have been attacked by one.

With magic being flung around I'm dubious as to the effectiveness of wooden clubs.

...While it perhaps isn't the best fit, Zephyrion could be one parent of a demigod of smithing. It also helps that he's possibly on the best terms with Teknall after they built the Celestial Citadel together.

<Snipped quote by Cyclone>

But magic won't be getting thrown around just like that... Will it?

@Skyrte

I look forward to seeing your sheet. Now that we have an actual idea of what your character would be like, I'm sure most of us will be much more receptive to having your demigod be a child of one of our characters.

Who have you asked so far?

I highly doubt that any deep understanding of magic will come in until the sentients actually develop the roles of scholars. For now I would imagine it being restricted to the odd ritual or shamanistic witch doctor.

<Snipped quote by Muttonhawk>

All it takes is one god spending a Free Point to give a species (or ten) access to magic. Or just create a species that inherently has magic.

Is there some sort of Geneva Convention where we all agree not to let the mortals learn how to become a bunch of little Gandalfs? Has Vestec signed this pact?

Even if there was such a pact and Vestec signed it, we all know he would be the first to break it.

<Snipped quote by Cyclone>

Well, he hasn't signed the one regarding biological warfare. >_>

Anyway, yeah, my point was more that it would make sense for the impact of magic to scale with development of civilisations. Not necessarily in a one-to-one scaling, but I reckon it shouldn't be the equivalent of arming Ug with an assault rifle at the start of his history.

The Freepoint can be used for relatively low-key things like teaching people a simple idea (e.g. agriculture, reading, writing, loyalty, honour, bronze-working etc.) or creating an item imbued with magical properties

You know, Gandalf sort of was part of a "wizard" species.

<Snipped quote by Mardox>

...I will smack you.

He was one of the Maiar, lesser Ainur who entered Eä in the beginning of time, and serve one of the Valar in some shape or form.

That's like saying a queen bee is a 'Bee' species.

BAD. This should be common household knowledge!

<Snipped quote by Dawnscroll>

I remembered that he was sent by the gods to watch over Middle Earth. I couldn't remember whether he was one of them or not. Also, I believe his kind actually were referred to as the Wizards.

<Snipped quote by Mardox>

His kind were called the Istari; it was an organization of Maiar sent by the Valar to thwart Sauron. And that's ONLY what Men called the Istari because Men are stupid like that.

All in favor of cutting Mardox till he reads the Simillarion?
