[OOC] Academy of the Arcane Artes [Reboot]

If I missed anyone, tell me.

@Grey

Hello, yes.

[Grey]

Hm? I thought Varionus was addressing your concerns?

[Card Captor]

@Gray Just one problem? Well I wasn't expecting that That dragon character is why I thought could get away with a character that had a human and animal form. I'll be honest; I feel a little awkward playing a character that is stuck in an animal form. Is there anyway that I can explain that ability that will satisfy you? How about if he was a half Unicorn who's mom shape-shifted into a human to give birth to him? If that doesn't work, then I'll just give him the human form, with unicorn powers

This was your list with the fixes I already had implemented. Your female image isn't working Changed the picture comes up when I last checked. What's the adverse effects of not munching on hearts? "Has a limited supply of energy for magic off campus, up to a week of casting as an average caster, and each use there after without replenishment giving up some sentience and becoming more like a feral fox, and if denied a source of will revert to being stuck in fox form." Leeching off magic locales is... eh. Seems kinda like it's trying to dodge the weakness of dealing with organ eating. But like, sentient beings are anything that can perceive or feel. Just eat livestock liver. Got rid of the leeching thing as well as throwing some flavor why livestock organs were less preferable. Your illusions should be only single target. There was never any mention of illusions to begin with. Nix the pocket dimension for your orb, it negates your weakness. Got rid of this What kind of fire spells? -_- I had put some spells on this but apparently it didn't go through when I edited my cs, will rewrite them again. The electric collar is hardly a restriction, considering she can just shapeshift out of it. Make it an anti-power collar. The anti power thing doesn't work because she would simply physically attack people, but I did add that it changes to adjust to her shapeshifting.Although I did state this earlier before asking to be considered again. Aside from the fire spells which im about to put back on, the rest of this list has been adressed, did you maybe look at the wrong cs or something Edit: OH MY GOD just realized I never posted the edited version of my cs it's just on my wordpad. .. I feel so stupid right now fixing this

[Tyrant from the West]

So he is accepted, so long as I change his year to 3rd or 4th? Sweet 8D

[Jedly]

@The Fox Without

*Pats* It's alright. GrEHy's Canadian, so it's physically and mentally impossible that he can hold a grudge. Except against coffee, the bastard. Anyways, we'll gladly review the finalized CS.

[Konami]

@Konami Yes, hello, can you please explain this sentient mana business? That's basically all.

@Grey

Hmm yeah I suppose I didn't really go into that enough. Well since the Lore for Lucis is more or less up in the air I thought I'd add this to it: So I assume that in Lucis magic is a force of nature, like the wind. It's everywhere, but like the wind it is stronger in certain places. Magic is drawn to magic so places like mystical forests, creepy marshes, ancient ruins, these places would have more magic around them. When magical energy clumps together like that it gives births to spirits. Spirits are basically wisps of concentrated magical energy or mana, appearing as intangible floating lights. They show signs of basic awareness and react to the presence of people. These spirits are an integral part of Witchcraft as they are what power the magical enchantments in a Witch's items. Since magic is drawn to magic, the magical nature of a Witch's Familiar is what draws these spirits close enough for the Witch to trap. I hope that was a decent enough explanation. Edit: Let me know if this conflicts with any of the established Lore.

[The Fox Without]

Im so sorry the correct cs should be up now, sorry again feeling pretty stupid right now T_T

[Masaki Haruna]

@Grey. Theft skills. It's basically playing dirty like I poke your eye, squint lemon in your eyes and all that. Using whatever you can. It is a fighting style of Taku. Taekwondo is the dominant martial art he has. His combat skills are attained through TKD tournament and sometimes fights in school/public. He can't use magic.

@Jedly

Thank you, and since I forgot to say it earlier, I'm sorry grey, I should have checked my cs before making a list of how I fixed everything -_-.

[Ryonara]

I edited my CS.

[Dead Cruiser]

Hm? I thought Varionus was addressing your concerns?

@Grey

Apparently not. All I've heard is "the other GMs will tell you no" and "who told you that you could."

[Grey]

As per usual, any of you quiet GMs out there can call me out on anything I missed and so on.

@Konami

Bolded is surprisingly close to original lore. Anywho, don't see a reason not to let it pass. But riddle me this first, what kind of enchantments can you do with spirits? What makes spiritual enchantment different from "normal" magical enchantments?

@Masaki Haruna

Hmm, guess I kinda phrased it wrong. I meant more along the lines of what you meant when you said:

NOTE: Stealing weapons in the midst of battle, discard and use style.

Does that mean "I actually take it from your hands in the middle of fighting", "I nick your sidearm from your pocket", "I loot dead people," and/or something else?

I edited my CS.

@Ryonara

One of us'll check it out when we possess more time.

@Card Captor

If you want I can always pick it apart like I do my sources analyses. And: Oh, that's not what I meant. I meant like, Dagny is a dragon. Period. Yet she has a human form. I just mean do the same thing with a unicorn since you don't require a dedicated race to achieve the same effect. So I guess the final of your points is what I'm getting at? Is being a half-unicorn particularly important to your backstory or a subplot you have planned?

Apparently not. All I've heard is "the other GMs will tell you no" and "who told you that you could."

@Dead Cruiser

So you want to know the specific reasoning behind why your character wasn't accepted? Or are you looking for clarification on the idea that you suggested to Varionus earlier? I can give you the former, but I'd need to consult the others on the latter.

[Masaki Haruna]

@Grey. Exactly. Grab/Discard/Abandon.

[Dead Cruiser]

@Grey

And now this is the first I'm actually hearing of my character not being accepted. Not even "needs edits," just "not accepted." Lovely. It feels like each GM is leading off of something they think another GM said, or just contradicting each other. The gaps in communication here are becoming a bit frustrating.

@Grey

Well i'm not sure what would classify as "normal" magical enchantment, but in my mind a normal magical enchantment is a spell woven into an item or weapon that is powered by the mana of the one wielding it, while an item made with Witchcraft is powered by the spirit, meaning even someone without magic, or magical training, can use it. They are also almost exclusively carved from wood. Witch items are sold all around Lucis in markets and such so the most common Items would be wards, against beasts, hostile magicks, etc, the sort of stuff the peasantry would find most useful. That said, Witchcraft can produce more or less the same enchantments as the normal kind. It's simply another method to the same end.

[BrodZ11711]

@Grey I fixed the solutions you said but you just said I didn't fix any, were you looking at the new one or the old?

[Daird]

Both, but it's far more tiring to create water that manipulate what's already there.

[Card Captor]

@Gray Yeah; I mentioned in the info about his race that they've been hunted ruthlessly because of their horns. I plan on doing something with that. So if the only problem is that I made a special race to justify his human and Unicorn forms when I could have just made him a Unicorn and his human form wouldn't need justifying, then awesome! I'll get to work on editing my CS

[The Fox Without]

Quick question, are missions carried out in teams of two usually, or would it be viable for two supports to be partnered together while backing up a team of attackers. I only ask to determine if when choosing a partner we need to focus on picking someone who covers our weaknesses, or we could specialize a team for certain goals.
