Can I apply for Archer? And did I miss a lot of things?

@BioHazard

Sure, we have an open Archer slot. And no, not much has occurred yet since people have largely been busy with finals and the like the past few weeks.

Fate/Ousia

Berserkers come summoned with ME automatically active. Turning it off takes Master and Servant consent and requires a single action, same for turning it back on. This is the generic case and can vary if the ME description mentions toggleability.

Okay then that sounds good.

@Phase Transit

Alrighty. If you have any questions during the character creation process, don't hesitate to shoot me a PM.

Would we absolutely have to submit both master and servant or is just one okay?

@Phase Transit

Just one is fine.

Bumping to publicly state that we've just raised the Servant class caps to three per class, so there's now at least one open slot for each Servant class~!

Would you be interested in Mastering for a certain werewolf Berserker by the way?

General question to y'all, how are we dealing with spells here? I notice that the masters seem to just list the branches of magic and then state their general proficiency in them. So, if I want my lizard wizard to be able to shoot deadly rabbits out of his hat, do I just list "Hat Based Satan Majickery" and then say he is very good at it, or do I need to be able to describe exactly what species of long eared vermin he can shoot out the hat and how often?

@Beloss

The convention is to just list competency in the school of magecraft, since magi will generally learn schools instead of individual spells. If you want to list individual spells, you can, but otherwise it's just based off rationality. If you say "Fire magecraft" then it's assumed you know how to cast fire spells and probably have spells ranging from single action to ten count. If it's something less standard like an original school then you should give some details as to what it's capable of and how it works.

With your rabbit example, you'd need to say how it works (where the rabbits come from, etc), what sort of things it can do (are they just normal rabbits, etc), and things like its "speed" (do you need to do a greater ritual to summon a rabbit, etc).

Also I'll be applying the conventional knowledge of magecraft to it. For instance, if you have something like "Summoning: The summoning of beings from another world. Specializes in the summoning of "horrors" from another dimension.", then I assume that all such spells are Greater Rituals and the like (and consequently unusable by a single magus ordinarily) unless you say otherwise.

Runes are also an exception. For runes you need to list the individual runes, meanings, and effects.

Fate/Ousia

I assume you don't want to clog up the character creation page, so if you want to discuss anything I am here. Or we could go onto the chat. Do we occupy that or is that a combined thing for the whole site?

@Beloss

I've PMed you some edits.

Fate/Ousia

I want to ask, is it required that you give your Servant a picture?

@Beloss

A picture's more conventional, but if you want to just write out a description instead, that's perfectly fine too.

Fate/Ousia

So, I see that Servants still alive today are on the banned list. The Servant I have in mind can be interpreted as still being alive, but its very ambiguous and the land he refers to going to may be a metaphor for the afterlife. Since its ambiguous in his own legend may I choose to interpret it as him having passed on?

@Beloss

As long as you've got one version of the legend where they died, I'll allow it. Someone like Hanuman is banned because no legitimate Hindu source will say that he died on account of the boon with Yama, and someone like Merlin's banned because we know for a fact he's alive and well in canon. So yeah, as long as they're not definitively going to still be around by their mythos's logic, it's fine. I'd recommend PMing me about the particular individual just to be safe, though.

Fate/Ousia

Are you full on Servants right now?

@Beloss

Nope. I just raised the class caps not long ago, so the current cap is three per class.
