Dawn of a New Age - The Return of Magic v3

Zephyr glanced at the letter in the passenger seat of his Ford Focus as he finally found his way to Brightwell. He had done a lot of debating when he had received said letter. It was what he had been waiting for, but at the same time it just seemed too convenient. Zephyr was suspicious and thought he might be walking in to a trap. In the end he decided to take the risk and go to the small town that was so small he could barely find it. He was glad this mysterious person requested they meet in Illinois, being from northern Michigan it was only about a days drive to get there, factoring in stops and the time it took to find the place.

The entire time Zephyr was thinking about how he got here he had kept driving, eventually finding himself in the parking lot of an old looking motel. There was something strange about the motel, like if he looked away it started to slip from his mind. Maybe this was the power of someone on the inside. At any rate, Zephyr parked his car, grabbed the letter, and went inside. There was a woman at the front giving him a bit of a stare down. "Um, hi. I was told to come here, regarding my...talents?" He waved the letter a bit and the woman just pointed him towards the back of the room where Zephyr saw a group of people.

He walked up to them quietly and listen to what the kid who seemed to be the letter writer had to say. After he was done Zephyr was the first to speak. "Well, I made my way all the way to this middle of nowhere town, and I don't want the trip to be for nothing. I'm in, I'll stick around, at least for a bit."

A delay is fine with me, I probably won't be able to post until tomorrow anyways

Dawn of a New Age - The Return of Magic v3

Zephyr Tremblett

Name: Zephyr Tremblett
Age: 25
Physical Description: Zephyr stands at 6 feet tall and weighs 200 pounds


Important items: The only item Zephyr travels with is his smartphone and the charger

Short Bio: Zephyr was just an average guy before he had his vision. He got slightly above average grades in school, went to a nice university and got a well paying job at a tech firm where he could work from home. Then one day a few years back as he was getting home from a work meeting he saw something strange above his house. It looked like a bird but he knew there was something off about it, and upon closer inspection it looked like a person with wings. Then he heard the message in his head, about how the world was rotten and he was tasked to fix it. Surely there had to be better suitors, but there was no arguing. The voice and thing above his house were gone, and he felt a surge of power come to him.

Zephyr could barely get inside before collapsing from the overwhelming force inside him. Zephyr passed out and had a strange dream where he figured out what was happening. He had been blessed with magic of a sort, there were many different kinds of magic that he could learn. Being someone who wanted to learn many things he picked up all the schools except Underworld. Even in a world of magic, the magic of the dead felt too unnatural for Zephyr to be comfortable.

The next day Zephyr began training his powers, luckily for him he had figured out how to automate his job and was keeping that his little secret. He trained for two years, trying to perfect what spells he had chosen for himself, waiting for another sign, and that sign came in the form of a letter.

Skills/Flaws: Flaw-Emotional Suppression-Zephyr isn't great at expressing himself, and he generally has two emotional states. Apathetic with a general go with the flow attitude, and rage monster. When Zephyr allows his rage to show he is very likely to hurt someone, with his new powers he may even kill

Skill-Computers-Zephyr is good with code and general computer things. He once hacked in to his schools database and changed his friends grades to make sure they passed....maybe more than once.

Skill-Spatial Awareness-Zephyr has trained himself to take in all the features of a place when he gets there to assist with his teleportation power

Flaw-Selfish-Zephyr tries to do the right thing when it's easy and doesn't inconvenience him too much. But if it's something he doesn't want to do, Zephyr will generally just forget it even exists.

Spell List: Create Sword and Shield (High)-Zephyr creates a sword and shield out of mana that takes on a turquoise colour. He can change the size and shape of these items such as making the shield cover a larger area or extending the length of the sword to surprise an enemy that thinks they're out of range.

Create Holograms (World)-Zephyr can manipulate light to create holograms that look lifelike but have no true physical form. The more holograms Zephyr makes the harder it is to maintain them. The exception being if the holograms are just imitating something nearby, like himself.

Read Intent (Mind)-Zephyr can look at someone and tell what they intend to do in the situation they're in. Whether it be they intend to lie, retreat, or even how they intend to fight.

Teleport (Timespace)-Zephyr can teleport to anywhere within eyeshot, though the further the distance the less accurately he can place himself. He can also teleport short distances to areas he can't see, though this poses a risk of him ending up in a wall or something similar.

Increase Physical Prowess (Change)-An ability that is always in effect, this increases Zephyrs strength, durability, and endurance beyond that of a normal human.

Manipulate Emotions (Mind)-Zephyr can manipulate the emotions of an individual or a small group. This is usually used to try and calm people down, but he can make people feel joy, sadness, anger, or any other emotion.

Dawn of a New Age - The Return of Magic v3

So as I lie here in bed I have a few questions to try and help me get my concept nailed down. So you said mind illusions are more like a hallucination. What type of magic would create hologram type illusions? Or is there a way to make actual temporary clones like in naruto?

With change magic, say you could change fire to ice, would that same spell allow you to change ice to fire or would that require another spell slot?

Also I’m thinking of taking a mind spell tentatively called “read intent” which would basically be a form of mind reading but more like “this person intends to lie to me” “this person intends to run away” “this person intends to feint left then swing right” would that be okay or does it cover too much. I’m just not exactly sure how strong spells should be

Dawn of a New Age - The Return of Magic

This seems cool and I'm thinking of joining if you're still accepting. Quick question, in mind magic is says makes illusions that aren't holograms. What exactly does that mean? Because to me illusions and holograms are pretty similar, with one being made by magic and the other by technology

@Mae As sad as it makes me I think I'll have to drop, apparently I'm away from my computer in the summer a lot more than I thought I would be. So unless you want Jhimas to be on NPC mode for like a month and a half (which is always an option) I'll probably just have to bow out

D&D 5E: Dungeon of the Mad Mage

Sorry about the delay, I’m still around. I just haven’t really been near a computer for a while, and I’m going camping soon so I’ll try to do something next week

D&D 5E: Dungeon of the Mad Mage

I’ve basically been living with my girlfriend while her parents have been away so I haven’t had time to write anything. But I feel Jhimas doesn’t have much to do so I’m fine if we move forward without having posted

I've been good, really gotten in to Riichi Mahjong recently because apparently in addition to being a nerd I'm an old Japanese man
