[OOC] Montagne Academy for Aspiring Mages!

[Roleplayer001]

Oh shit.

Time for Arata to learn his magics.

Shit's gonna be hilarious if time ever actually passes in the RP.

@Ashifili

@Rune_Alchemist Can't only the five 'mortal' races use it, or can all creatures learn magic? (For example, a familiar like Iravis learning waterbending)

[Ashifili]

@RabidAnubis
From the first post.

Most living, sentient beings are capable of using magic in some way.

So I'd assume that using magic = being able to learn magic.

[Roleplayer001]

@Ashifili The answer is No, probably a mistype (I'm with Runey right now).

[Rune_Alchemist]

@Ashifili
Ugh.

Yeeeah, sorry about that. My bad.

[Ashifili]

Man, the Sanctus dream is even deader now, huh?

[sakurasan]

@RabidAnubis Added to personality:
Even with this, she gets flustered pretty easily... At least feels embarrassed easily and cannot handle guys that much since she hasn't really been around them much and doesn't know what to expect if they aren't her dad.

[Roleplayer001]

@sakurasan I think her personality and backstory are sufficient in length. Very sufficient.

Like, I summarized my background and am posting collabs down there. You went HAM on the concept of a background and showed it who the boss was. This may take me a bit.

[sakurasan]

@RabidAnubis Crap. Did I create my own downfall? Dang it. Well, i'll wait. Love you Rabid-senpai, thank you~ ^^

To Rabid-senpai and only Rabid-senpai

[Iatos]

THe question is if most characters actually came here to learn something...

Or if they just came to hang out xD

[Ashifili]

Arata came to burn some time and kill some people.

Now, if oni could learn actual magic, he'd actually be invested in his studies, but, well...yeah...

Seriously though, why would familiars go to a SCHOOL, when they will never learn magic? Sounds like it'd make more sense if they just teamed up with already-established mages.

@Ashifili

Well, why not? They could certainly do that. But what already established mage would want a familiar that doesn't even understand the basics of how magic or have a decent grasp of their own abilities?

Besides, most already established mages probably already have some pretty powerful familiars.

And they don't have to study, they can work too if they do not want a master.

[sakurasan]

Meria just came because her parents told her to and wanted to make her proud. Simple. -- Her life.

[Iatos]

I came here to kick in doors and loot the room.

@Rune_Alchemist

Why would a familiar incapable of 'actual' magic need to understand the basics of magic? On the other hand, why would a school that teaches standardized magic know how to teach familiars how to use their abilities, which are not standard magic?

And most already established mages may indeed have some pretty powerful familiars, but what's the point of becoming the servant of a student, when there's no actual benefit? I don't actually understand why contracts exist, all things considered. It's not like familiars get any new things out of swearing fealty to a master, outside of what the master might choose to give to them. At least, with an established mage, said mage could magic up a whole variety of things that students can't.

But sure, yeah, working is fine. Might as well get a job instead of go to school.

Are the Magus Games still a thing?

[Pyromania99]

So all room assignments should be decided by time I get home. Sweet.

[Slendy]

:P Alot of peeps! I'll just stalk in the background until more space or something happens don't mind me! ^-^ *pulls out large binoculars and stares at everyone* Yep! Not noticeable at all!

HEY!
THERE'S ANOTHER SACRIFICE!
GET 'EM!

[shagranoz]

"Life is a party, so get out there and enjoy it!"

Name: Alicia Sanders

Age: 15

Female

Pansexual

Magic

Bratus- Greenspeaker: Alicia can speak and understand the language of plants. It's fairly complex, meaning that she can get a good deal of information from them.

Bratus- Plant manipulation: Alicia can make plants grow spontaneously and rapidly. It's exactly as you'd expect.

Weaknesses: Her one major weakness is that she must be within ten feet of a plant to communicate or control it.

Catalyst: An oak wand with inlay of silver and unicorn hair.

Other Skills: She's a good artist and likes to draw.

Inventory: None.

Personality: She's fun, upbeat, and positive. Some might even say she's perky to the point of being annoying.

Bio: Alicia always knew about her powers, but never thought too much of them. Not that she thought it was something anyone could do, but she didn't really care about practicing or developing them. Finally, after years of attempting to convince her, her parents managed to get her to sign up for Montagne Academy. Now she's here for her first year.

[Ashifili]

Yeah...I don't think that'd work too well...

But this brings up another question. Namely, what IS magic? Apparently, it's a discipline that people learn, but how is it that people are only capable of only having a few 'abilities' within their magical category, such as decomposition or healing or wind blades? Are they all just scrubs, despite how powerful their abilities are? What's going on here? XD

Hell, if they are taught magic in Montagne, shouldn't a graduate like Cole basically be able to do every Prima magic that every other character have?
