Original Fantasy Roleplay
Inspired by Magic the Gathering, Kingdom Hearts, and Dungeon & Dragons
A BRIEF UPDATE
It's been a while, I just wanted to let everyone know that the project is still being worked on. I'm currently rewriting how Magic will work on the forum. I wasn't happy with how I set it up in my previous post. Namely in how the two primary methods for its use were handled. If everyone could use the Aether in themselves so easily, I realized they wouldn't need to channel it from the Fabric as often. Which wouldn't put the setting in the place I needed it be for the purpose of the plot.[break][break]
That said - I've switched how they'll work around. It'll be easier to pull from the Fabric and harder to channel from yourself. Think of it akin to the Sorcerer class in Dungeon & Dragons. While everyone has aetherial energy inside of them, not everyone can use it with proficiency. Being able to do so is the mark of an exceptionally talented Magus. Also - magic cast using energy from oneself will be more powerful and give a Magus precise control over their spells.[break][break]
Channeling Aether from the Fabric becoming easier also meant introducing some type of consequence different from what I mentioned before. While there will still be unmentioned consequences, the one I'd like to bring your to attention is called Crystallization.
A Magus undergoing the Crystallization process
The body can only withstand a certain amount of aetheral energy. Channel more than the body can hold, and you risk Crystallization. As the name implies, Crystallization is an agonizing process that slowly transforms the body into Aetherite.[break][break]
Naturally occurring Aetherite
Aetherite is a type of naturally occurring crystal that forms near strong sources of Aether. Like around a Fount of Aether or along the path of one of its ley lines. Stored inside the crystals are an immense amount of aetheral energy - more than what anyone could channel from themselves or the Fabric. It has many uses, but the most prominent is as a fuel source. Once refined, the energy inside the crystals can be used to power machines known as Magitek.
CLOSING STATEMENT
That's all I have for you guys this time. It's not a lot, I know, but I'd prefer to take my time rather than rush through it. I'm a bit hesitant to do this as it's never worked for me before - but fuck it. This is a lot to tackle on my own and while I can do it just fine. I'd like to ask for help from anyone who would be interested.[break][break]
A couple things to keep in mind: If you'd like to help then you need to actually help. Too many times have I done this and despite having people reach out. I've been the only one putting in the effort. It's frustrating, gives me false hope, and frankly wastes everyone's time. I'm not a difficult person to work with either. I'm very open to outside ideas and suggestions. Nor do I have some dictatorial way that I'd like the site to run.[break][break]
Ideally, I'd like to get at least one or two other people to lend me a hand. That way I can bounce the ideas I have off them. They can tell me what they think, we can make adjustment, they can add their own, and just in general get a good creative flow going. If helping with Falsebound sounds interesting to you at all then you can contact me via PM here on Pixel Perfect or on Discord. Mouse#7744
