Well, I think I outlasted everyone except @Karcen, lol. Gonna pop off of here for a bit, and then I'll check back. Waiting on like 17 answers from Goji, cause I'm awful and can't let the man sleep. >.<
Not quite, @King Castle
Remember, I'm not a spellcaster. Anything requiring magical finesse is very likely outside my means. I could make it float, potentially, but not home in. Even my conjurations are random creatures based on the amount of mana I burn on the activation. If I'm truly unlucky...
But with the dual-enchanting, I could make, for example, a fire/light arrow that both ignites and blinds. Or a water/earth arrow to pull up the ground and rain water into it (#Farmer'sQuest). Should definitely be interesting. :)
@King Castle
As for Shadowfare, I think you normally can, as a mage. However, remember, I get one effect with variable quality per school. Although, with luck and skill, I CAN dual-enchant stuff, apparently. So, for example, a Magic Circle to briefly bind while I plant four Shadowfare arrows to...
Hrm... That is actually an excellent idea, and a great knock-off Flying Raijin (a la Naruto). If @GojiBean allows this, I'll definitely make a receiver arrow, lol. Otherwise, I still plan to shift you guys around like pawns on a chessboard.
You don't move you.
I move you.
@Karcen Hell yeah! I love it! You should totally let me experiment on you for essence.
Err, I mean... Gingerly... Experiment... with your essence?
I promise, I'll be gentle. Maybe.
@King Castle
Truth Detection and Song enchantments do nothing, are known to do nothing, and thus the essence isn't even bottled. Already asked, as that was my initial idea for a magic siphon. A spell that did nothing. xD
As for various arrows, I have a limited range of effects, but the...
No worries, @King Castle
Tbh, I'm still gathering info from Goji about it all. Magic Smithing is complicated, lol. I have to know SO MUCH. I'm just glad that Goji is so amazingly relaxed with my onslaught of Q's. He might regret my creativity later, though. xD I'm already considering things...
@Steven Toast
Firstly, yes, I did misunderstand the first part. I thought you felt pidgeonholed by the specialization of the magic styles, not that you felt locked as a mage, so that's my error. Either way, I'm glad I can help!
@King Castle
Also, for the sake of accuracy, I don't store mana in...
@Steven Toast Mind you, that variation is almost exclusively for Magic Smiths. A fire mage still uses only fire magic, but can do a LOT more with that fire magic than I could as a Smith. So do bear in mind, most ARE extremely specialized. However, thinking outside the box does certain things...
@King Castle
Well, I do know that magic doesn't intermingle in a lot of ways, so I'm reasonably certain you won't see much in the way of healing or holy magic (since all magic is technically holy). Light magic has only been intimated to me (as a basic bitch Magic Smith, lol) as being able to...
@Steven Toast Correct, you can utilize other things than only magic as far as I've been informed. As well, I've also confirmed that Smiths are, quite literally, enchanters. So anything I make, you can use. For example, I could imbue fire magic into your sword, and then you can pour some of the...
I think I'm one of only two Magic Smiths, but I'd be happy to share any info I got from Goji on the subject, so if anyone needs deets, I'll copypasta the Word of Goji, lol.
And, @MontagueOfVenezia , I would definitely read past the initial posts, too. Some of the details have been explained in PMs/DMs, or have been explained here in the various threads, mainly this and the OOC thread, I believe. Otherwise, I would find someone with a character of the type you like...
As of yesterday, Goji has stated he's still accepting characters, although he may have to weed some out due to the attention this has grabbed. I would check each of the links at the start of this thread, read through them thoroughly, and then you can find the character sheet template on the...
That said, for anyone interested in discussing characters or ideas, feel free to PM me! Especially, since I think I'm Goji's bodyguard at this point. xD Jokes aside, though, I'm definitely looking at a more supporting role, so please don't hesitate to hmu for ideas and plots down the line...
I know exactly what you mean. As an Aerolian, I'll have hollow bones and vulnerability to air magic, so I was already strongly considering the concept of some sort of magic siphon as a trump card, lol. Gobi and I are planning to talk it over tomorrow.
That's okay, I know I've reported them and...
