Fantasy Wormingshire Stories [Reboot][WIP]

[Trevor B Harper]

Welcome to Wormingshire!

Introduction

Welcome to Wormingshire! This is an academy magic roleplay which is focused on both story and action. You will be a student in the academy, learning the arts of magic you choose and going on missions assigned by the staff of the academy. Everyone starts out as freshmen, aka year one students and go from there. You can pick one element to control, however, later on there will be more available.


Act I

?? \\ With the rising threat in Marblecrest and all of the continent of Lynnvale, most powerful separate mages around the world have assembled together and established the Arcane Five, a council of mages which coordinates the activity of magic and wizards around the world. The association soon caught on and everyone grew accustomed to these individuals.


They kept changing over the following seventy three years, however, their goal remained the same. After some time, a prestigious woman Ayla Sominger had a discussion with the Jarl of Marblecrest and came to a conclusion that an academy for magic would help in terms of defense against the monsters from an unknown source.


Soon after, Wormingshire rose. An academy with it's own both residential and commercial infrastructure, making it a town of it's own with a castle in the middle which was the academy itself. It trained young people from around the world to serve the Jarls and protect their ground from evildoers. It was more than enough to keep Marblecrest, Swynfield, Belwick and all the other nations safe. Until E3 Y128, also known as The End of Charm.


That was when havoc established in Lynnvale. Huge monsters, humanoid lizardmen, marsh staccato and various other gruesome beings began pillaging cities, raiding villages and taking over everything in their path just for fun.


Now it is E3 Y132 and Wormingshire has a mission. Powerful wizards are needed in order to stop these monstrosities, figure out where they came from and prevent further activities of such kind.


A new year of the academy has started and new students are being accepted to train. The question is, will they be enough?// ??

Magic Types and Uses

• Evocation
• Manipulation
• Transformation
• Divination
• Augmentation
• Conjuration

• 
  
  
  Evocation
  
  
  Evocation is the magical art of calling an element into being from nothing. It does not allow the caster the precise control of the Manipulation arts, but it can be called forth in greater force, substituting quality for sheer quantity, as it were. Evocations are powerful for the massive amount of spells they can cover, as well as the ability to cast at any time regardless of surroundings, though they aren't easily contained and often can grow out of control.
  
  
  Tool: The Staff that Evokers wield amplifies their power, acting as a channel to send their spells through their body into the world around them.
  
  
  Fire - The Fire Evocation branch allows the casters to create smoldering fire and choking smoke by forming blazing projectiles or incinerating firestorms to ignite and burn.
  
  
  Tool Example: Charred Staff
  
  
  Earth - The Earth Evocation branch allows the casters to create sturdy rock, soil, and sand by launching crushing boulders or forming rough spikes to stab and rupture.
  
  
  Tool Example: Stone Staff
  
  
  Water - The Water Evocation branch allows the casters to create liquid water by spraying aquatic streams or sending crashing waves that drench and drown.
  
  
  Tool Example: Rippling Staff
  
  
  Wind- The Wind Evocation branch allows the casters to create gusting winds by blowing raging squalls or swirling tornadoes to batter and disorient.
  
  
  Tool Example: Howling Staff
  
  
  Electricity - The Electricity Evocation branch allows the casters to create shocking electricity by hurling flashing lightning bolts or rolling shockwaves to blast and paralyze.
  
  
  Tool Example: Jolting Staff
  
  
  Sonic - The Sonic Evocation branch allows the casters to create unstable sound by shouting screeching bursts or echoing sonic waves to deafen and overwhelm.
  
  
  Tool Example: Whispering Staff
  
  
  Nature -The Nature Evocation branch allows the caster to create flora by growing stinging thorns or writhing masses of vines to ensnare and restrain.
  
  
  Tool Example: Blooming Staff
  
  
  Light - The Light Evocation branch allows the caster to create dazzling light by firing searing beams or glowing orbs that reveal and illuminate.
  
  
  Tool: Illuminating Staff
  
  
  Dark - The Dark Evocation branch allows the caster to create frightening darkness by spawning shadowy tendrils or crafting creeping dusk that consumes and terrifies.
  
  
  Tool Example: Terrifying Staff
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  Manipulation
  
  
  While Manipulation has less raw power than its sister art, Evocation, it is nonetheless a potent school of magic. Where Evocation calls masses of an element into being and hopes that some of it will work, Manipulation takes what already exists and moulds its shape to the task at hand. This makies it far more reliable and versatile, but slightly less powerful, since it can only change the element's shape. While the spells happen on a smaller scale than Evocation, skilled mages can evolve key aspects of an existing element to control something completely new.
  
  
  Tool: Manipulation only works if the element is conveniently at hand, so the caster usually carries some form of their element with them in hand or stored in their Orb.
  
  
  Fire - The Fire Manipulation branch allows the casters to manipulate fire from sources around them, stealing the element from bonfires and torches to form blazing whips, swirls of embers, and burning arrows. When the aspect of fire is evolved, it unlocks the ability to liquefy it into plasma, granting Plasma Manipulation to the mage.
  
  
  Tool Example: Blazing Orb
  
  
  Earth - The Earth Manipulation branch allows the casters to manipulate earth from sources around them, borrowing power from the ground beneath their feet to form rolling earthquakes, walls of formidable size, and daunting pillars. When the aspect of earth is evolved, it unlocks the ability to harden it into metal, granting Metal Manipulation to the mage.
  
  
  Tool Example: Granite Orb
  
  
  Water - The Water Manipulation branch allows the casters to manipulate water from sources around them, shaping still pools into swirling vortexes, swarms of scalding bubbles, and serpentine masses. When the aspect of water is evolved, it unlocks the ability to freeze it into ice, granting Ice Manipulation to the mage.
  
  
  Tool Example: Dowsing Orb
  
  
  Electricity- The Electricity Manipulation branch allows casters to manipulate electricity from sources around them, from built-up static, pulling it out of wires or storms, and shaping it into spears. When the aspect of electricity is evolved, it unlocks the ability to control the current in conductive objects, granting Magnetic Manipulation to the mage.
  
  
  Tool Example: Shocking Orb
  
  
  Body - The Body Manipulation branch allows the casters to manipulate blood and bone from sources around them, including themselves, drawing it out to fling hardened blood spines, shape lances of bone, and control sanguine whips. When the aspect of the body is evolved, it unlocks the ability to strengthen muscles and increase stamina, granting Flesh Manipulation to the caster to the mage.
  
  
  Tool Example: Skin Orb (Eww!)
  
  
  Light - The Light Manipulation branch allows the casters to manipulate light from sources around them, molding it into shining blades, orbs of luminescence, and radiating beams. When the aspect of light is evolved, it unlocks the ability to shape pure power, granting Energy Manipulation as well to the mage.
  
  
  Tool Example: Bright Orb
  
  
  Dark - The Dark Manipulation branch allows the casters to manipulate darkness from sources around them, hiding themselves in blackening night, melding into cast shadows, and forming shadowy blades. When the aspect of dark is evolved, it unlocks the ability to cancel and absorb incoming energy, granting Void Manipulation to the mage.
  
  
  Tool Example: Twilight Orb
  
  
  Nature - The Nature Manipulation branch allows the casters to manipulate flora from sources around them, rapidly sprouting trees and plants, twisting branches into weapons, and growing fruit for healing nourishment. When the aspect of nature is evolved, it unlocks the ability to influence the environment with subtle changes, granting Weather Manipulation to the mage.
  
  
  Tool Example: Wooden Orb
  
  
  Time- The Time Manipulation branch allows casters to manipulate time from their current point in it, reversing time for an instant to undo a change, pausing themselves for momentary invulnerability, or jumping a few seconds ahead to gain some foresight. When the aspect of time is evolved, it unlocks the ability to control chance to a certain degree, granting Fate Manipulation to the mage.
  
  
  Tool Example: Clockwork Orb
  
  
  Space - The Space Manipulation branch allows casters to manipulate physical space around them, making points connect to teleport, warping areas to distort gravity, and creating room where there should be none. When the aspect of space is evolved, it unlocks the ability to open gateways to open space outside of reality, granting Dimensional Manipulation to the mage.
  
  
  Tool Example: Empty Orb
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  Transformation
  
  
  Transformations are magic arts which affect the mage directly, typically changing their body and its inherent characteristics, the most physical type of magic out of any. Most draw their inspiration from entities that already exist, mimicking features found on animals, plants, and inanimate objects, though a rare few are able to develop their own methods of transforming that are unlike the others.
  
  
  Tool: Transformations require a Totem, an object usually worn by the mage that has some piece of their Transformation in its making. Mages who naturally possess traits similar to their Transformation needs no Totem.
  
  
  Humanoid - Taking the features of human-shaped creatures, Humanoid Transformations generally entail extra limbs, eyes, mouths, hair, or size alteration. Traits inherent in such transformations can include altered size and weight, prehensile hair, and increased flexibility, among others.
  
  
  Tool Example: Hair Necklace
  
  
  Avian - Taking the features of birds, Avian Transformations generally entail wings, feathers, hollow bones, talons, or beaks. Traits inherent in such transformations can include flight, keen vision, and improved reflexes, among others.
  
  
  Tool Example: Feather Shoes
  
  
  Mammalian - Taking the features of warm-blooded animals, Mammalian Transformations generally entail claws, teeth, fur, hooves, or tails. Traits inherent in such transformations can include enhanced strength and stamina, heightened senses, and increased resilience, among others.
  
  
  Tool Example: Fur Hat
  
  
  Reptilian - Taking the features of cold-blooded lizards, Reptilian Transformations generally entail scales, fangs, tails, horns, or altered tongues. Traits inherent in such transformations can include poisonous spit or bite, hardened scale armour, and heat-sensing vision, among others.
  
  
  Tool Example: Fang Piercings
  
  
  Insectoid - Taking the features of invertebrates, Insectoid Transformations generally entail multiple legs, wings, compound eyes, mouthparts, or stingers. Traits inherent in such transformations can include venom stings, flinging silk or webs, and wall-climbing, among others.
  
  
  Tool Example: Carapace Pendant
  
  
  Piscean - Taking the features of fish, Piscean Transformations generally entail gills, fins, thin scales, cold blood, or bioluminescence. Traits inherent in such transformations can include water-breathing, enhanced swimming, and altered spatial perception, among others.
  
  
  Tool Example: Scale Brooch
  
  
  Floral - Taking the features of plants, Floral Transformations generally entail vines, flowers, bark skin, roots, or leaves. Traits inherent in such transformations can include photosynthesis, enhanced regeneration, and fruit- and flower-production, among others.
  
  
  Tool Example: Grass Ring
  
  
  Mechanical - Taking features from constructed objects, Mechanical Transformations generally entail pistons, joints, plate metal, engines, or guns. Traits inherent in such transformations can include massively increased weight, heavy armour, and weaponized limbs, among others.
  
  
  Tool Example: Metal Hairpin
  
  
  Spiritual - Taking features from ghosts and phantoms, Spiritual Transformations generally entail ectoplasm, mist or fog, slime, emotions, or energy. Traits inherent in such transformations can include invisibility, object possession, and terror manifestation, among others.
  
  
  Tool Example: Slime Bracelet
  
  
  Inanimate - Taking features from inanimate objects, Inanimate transformations generally entail everyday items, common materials, rubber, fabric, metal, or plastic. Traits inherent in such transformations can include material generation, altered physical structure, and object mimicking, among others.
  
  
  Tool Example: Plastic Hairband
  
  
  Elemental - Taking features from classic elements, Elemental transformations generally entail fire, water, stone, light, or dark. Traits inherent in such transformations can include elemental body, form-changing, and elemental immunity, among others.
  
  
  Tool Example: Elemental Earrings
  
  
  Conceptual - Taking features from incomprehensible objects, Outsider Transformation generally entail nothingness, abstractions, immaterial, metaphysical, and imaginary structures. Traits inherent in such transformations can include nullification, nonexistence, and conceptual manifestation, among others.
  
  
  Tool Example: Ethereal Belt
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  Divination
  
  
  The magic of the mind and soul, Divination magics control the elements beyond sight, or even any senses at all, giving the mage a powerful tool. As long as their mind can conceive it, they can possibly accomplish it, given the proper willpower, motivation, and determination.
  
  
  Tool: Wands and short rods act as connections between the Diviner and their element, allowing them to point their spells and direct their effects as they please.
  
  
  Animation - The Animation branch allows the casters to give objects free will and allows them to act independently. At first, they can only give simple directives for the animation to obey for a short time, but as the mage grows in power, they gain more control over the object in question, allowing them to give it more detailed instructions over longer lifespans. If a mage attempts to give an animation instructions that are too complex for their power level, it will fall out of their control and run loose, typically causing mayhem and destruction wherever it can. Advanced Animators can bestow some unique objects with certain natures and personalities that recur every time they are brought to life, essentially forming them into their own creature that can animate itself as it pleases to lend aid to any it allies itself with.
  
  
  Tool Example: Wand/Rod of Motion
  
  
  Telekinesis - The Telekinesis branch allows the casters to project their will into the world around them, moving objects with mere thoughts and speaking directly into others' minds, though they cannot read them. As they progress, they gain more power over their own mind, allowing them to manipulate larger objects like vehicles or beings, or more finely maneuver smaller ones, such as opening a complicated lock. Advanced Telekinetics can project their will outside of their body entirely, leaving their physical shell empty, but their mind is free to roam in a state of astral projection. If the body is destroyed, the mind shatters and becomes a destructive phantom which haunts whatever destroyed them.
  
  
  Tool Example: Wand/Rod of Knowledge
  
  
  Psychokinesis - The Psychokinesis branch of Divination allows casters to read and manipulate the minds of others, stealing thoughts or implanting new ones to change the way the subject thinks and acts. At first they can only read or change simple thoughts, like looking at a scenery through fogged lenses, but as they grow in power the picture becomes more clear and they thoughts they can alter become intricate and convoluted, able to send the victim into a confused wandering or a panicking terror at the blink of an eye. The most advanced Psychokinetics can not only change memories, but erase them completely, or even exchange them between subjects, and cause them to see, taste, smell, and sense anything at all that they wish.
  
  
  Tool Example: Wand/Rod of Thought
  
  
  Soul - The Soul branch of Divination has less to do with the mind of a person and more to do with their heart, manipulating emotions and controlling the very person they believe themselves to be. At first, Soul mages can implant basic, broad emotions, such as love, hate, fear, kindness, and so on, but as they progress they can subtly make the emotions more passionate and stronger, or direct them towards specific objects or persons. The most advanced Soul Diviners can befriend even mortal foes or send a man, ally or enemy, into a raging frenzy where he feels no pain until he has defeated any who stand against him. At such a level of casting, these can even be implanted in insentient animals so that they can understand and feel complex emotions.
  
  
  Tool Example: Wand/Rod of Sensitivity
  
  
  Spirit - The Spirit branch of Divination is an alteration to the Soul branch, though it rarely affects living souls, more often those who are already detached from their physical bodies, by death or design. The casters of this branch can sense and call on spirits of the departed to gather information, perform tasks, or fight for them, all by changing their emotions and disposition towards their surroundings. As the Spirit mage grows in power, they are able to call on older and more powerful ghosts, some with terrible powers and unsettled grudges. Spirit Diviners also exorcise harmful phantoms, putting them to rest by separating them from the source of their disturbance. Expert Spirit Diviners can force a soul out of a living body for a period of time, temporarily making them a ghost and replacing them with another phantom that controls their body for some time. Strangely enough, this branch can apply to the souls of Telekinetics who have detached from their bodies by astral projection, making it one of the Telekinetics' weaknesses in that state.
  
  
  Tool Example: Wand/Rod of Haunting
  
  
  Illusion - The Illusion branch of Divination allows the casters to create constructs that appear tangible and real at first glance, but are only imaginary to those beholds them. The danger of such illusions is that they rely on belief, if a victim perceives the ravenous dog chasing him as a real creature or the vision that his body is melting away, it may still harm him on a mental and spiritual level, though no physical wounds will show. Basic Illusionists can create visions that only a single target can see, but as they grow in power, they can reveal it to more and more individuals simultaneously, effectively creating a mass hallucination. The most advanced Illusionists can even give their creations some semblance of independence, allowing them to follow a basic purpose without the need to control their every action. Master illusions can even become real for moments at a time, if they are believed enough by those that sense them, they enter reality and come true. As long as the belief in them continues, they remain, and once they become real, it is all the harder to disbelieve them.
  
  
  Tool Example: Wand/Rod of Deception
  
  
  Space - The Space branch of Divination branch allows the casters to warp space and the perception of it on themselves and those around them. They have the unique ability to scry, viewing areas far distant from themselves by bending the distance between themselves and their target. They can also twist space into convoluted patterns, making their enemies wander through infinite labyrinths in a single room or simply holding them in place by containing the space they are in. Advanced Space Diviners can bend the area around themselves to make incoming attacks miss completely or even turn on their attacker, or close the distance between themselves and an object to reach for it instantly, effectively connecting points of space together to make portals to cover distances in only a few steps.
  
  
  Tool Example: Wand/Rod of Wefting
  
  
  Time - The Time branch of Divination allows the caster to alter the perception of the timestream for themselves and anyone near them. This can be used to slow an enemy down by dulling their perception of time or giving the caster inhuman reflexes by speeding up the flow of time that affects them. While Time Diviners cannot affect the past or future, they can make the present distorted by mixing streams of time together. Advanced Time Diviners can connect timestreams so that several spells, their own or their allies, activate over an extended period, meaning the mages can cast several spells beforehand and have them activate all at once, or the reverse happens, delaying an opponent's action so that by the time it is cast, it is already too late.
  
  
  Tool Example: Wand/Rod of Shifting
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  Augmentation
  
  
  The school of Augmentation is the supporting class of magic which aids allies and hinders foes, providing healing and restoration for one and applies curses and afflictions for the other. While these mages are usually found assisting other mages by protecting and healing them, some prefer to work alone, casting their blessing on themselves to become capable warriors and a terror to their adversaries.
  
  
  Tool: Augmenters carry a Scroll on which is written the secrets of their arts, the fabric or paper glows with mystic letters and the words need not even be spoken aloud to casts their spells, only written down beforehand then touched to unleash their power.
  
  
  Vitality - The Vitality Augmentation branch specializes in healing wounds, curing illness, while inflicting the same injuries they heal onto their enemies. Novice Vitalists can heal simple injuries, scrapes, cuts and bruises, while they can reopen these same injuries on foes. As they advance, Vitalists learn more powerful healing, even able to restore whole limbs and mend fractured bones, removing illness and soothing pain, while they can reverse such healing on their opponents, inflicting them with sickness and poisons, pulling old scars and wounds apart to cause intense pain and severe bleeding. Master Vitalists can restore a person back to full life from the brink of death, though they cannot resurrect the dead, and their adversaries fear the overwhelming pain they can inflict that seems to ingrain every part of their body.
  
  
  Tool Example: Rejuvenation Scroll
  
  
  Protection - The Protection Augmentation branch is the magic of defenders, erecting impenetrable barriers and magical armour to deflect and block enemy attack. They can form shimmering panels of nearly-invisible force that function as shields, walls, even floating platforms. The Protectors who develop their skills further can craft larger panels or control multiple smaller ones at once, while some can erect barriers that act as gates, allowing allies to pass through and shattering painfully on enemies. Master Protectors can form reflective shapes, domes and prisons that absorb and return the enemies force to them with twice the power.
  
  
  Tool Example: Abjuration Scroll
  
  
  Attunement - The Attunement Augmentation branch is for those who bless their companions with superhuman capabilities while hindering opponents by slowly sapping them of their abilities. Allies will find their strength renewed, their speed doubled, their senses heightened, their spells more potent, while foes will become sluggish, drowsy, and weak. Advanced Attuners can cast auras of power to boost the capabilities of multiple surrounding friends, or cast out a magic-draining cloud over enemies that prevents them from accessing their spells. Master Attuners can give a man the combined might of an army of a hundred, or make him collapse under the weight of his own hat.
  
  
  Tool Example: Affliction Scroll
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  Conjuration
  
  
  The school of Conjuration opens gateways to the realms beyond reality, letting creatures from other dimensions crawl forth to serve the mage who summoned them. When one makes a pact with another realm, they bond with a Familiar, a creature from that will serve them for the rest of their lives, and while other creatures may be called upon, only the Familiar has the capability to grow in power over time and become the most formidable companion a Mage could desire.
  
  
  Tool: Pacts with creatures from outer realms require a blood price to summon, and thus the Conjurers carry a Dagger, usually carved with glyphs of their element, but always sharp enough to protect themselves or carve a symbol into themselves to call powerful allies.
  
  
  Light - The Light Conjuration branch, also called Lumomancy, allows the caster to summon beings of light and sun to assist them. They are mostly angelic beings, and a common Familiar is an Archon, a messenger spirit that starts as a hovering ball of light that heals and encourages which eventually grows into a powerful spellcasting angel.
  
  
  Tool Example: Sun Blade
  
  
  Dark - The Dark Conjuration branch, also known as Umbramancy, allows the caster to summon beings of shadow and night to assist them. They are mostly dusk beings, and a common Familiar is a Gremlin, a mischievous sprite that enjoys pranks which eventually grows into a destructive but clever faerie.
  
  
  Tool Example: Twilight Dirk
  
  
  Fire - The Fire Conjuration branch, also known as Pyromancy, allows the caster to summon beings of fire and ash to assist them. They are mostly flame beings, and a common Familiar is a Salamander, a volatile lizard that spews flames which eventually grows into a mighty beast with six legs.
  
  
  Tool Example: Flaming Dagger
  
  
  Earth - The Earth Conjuration branch, also known as Geomancy, allows the caster to summon beings of earth and mineral to assist them. They are mostly stone beings, and a common Familiar is a Golem, a staunch mannequin that stands only a few feet high which eventually grows into a colossal monolith of a giant.
  
  
  Tool Example: Crystal Lancet
  
  
  Water - The Water Conjuration branch, also known as Hydromancy, allows the caster to summon beings of water and ice to assist them. A common Familiar is a Scylla, a humanoid with their lower half a mass of tentacles which eventually grows into a dreadful leviathan.
  
  
  Tool Example: Liquid Stilletto
  
  
  Flesh - The Flesh Conjuration branch, also known as Necromancy, allows the caster to summon beings of skin and bone to assist them. A common Familiar is a Ghoul, a skeletal figure with large eyes and larger teeth which eventually grows into a titan of hunger and flesh
  
  
  Tool Example: Marrow Knife
  
  
  Metal - The Metal Conjuration branch, also known as Allomancy, allows the caster to conjure beings of clockwork to assist them. A common Familiar is a Forge Doll, a mechanized construct who can change into specific shapes which eventually grows into a transforming arsenal of weaponry.
  
  
  Tool Example: Iron Carambit
  
  
  Nature - The Nature Conjuration branch, also known as Vivomancy, allows the caster to conjure beings of both flora and fauna to assist them. A common familiar is a Dire Badger, an adorable animal with sharp teeth that eventually grows into a raging, frenzied combatant.
  
  
  Tool Example: Ivory Kris
  
  
  Araenae - The Araenae Conjuration branch, also known as Arthromancy, allows the caster to conjure crawlers to assist them. A common Familiar is a Mammoth Centipede, a creeping hunter with a poisoned bite which eventually grows into a monstrous worm which can devour nearly anything.
  
  
  Tool Example: Envenomed Fang

Runes

A Note On Runic Magic:


Runes are engraved symbols that hold a spell in a certain location until specific conditions are met, in which case the rune releases the spell as if the Mage had cast it at that moment. Any mage can use Runic magic, regardless of Schools, Branches, or Spells, as long as they know the runes to carve to achieve the effects they want to use. To carve Runes, the Mage needs a Runic Pen, a magical item which etches the glyphs needed for a single spell before it breaks. Once the Runes with the conditions have been carved, the Mage casts they spell they wish into the symbols, where it is stored until the conditions are met, at which point the spell is released and the Rune disappears permanently. Each Runic Pen can only cast one spell, but layers of Runes can be put on top of each other to add more castings. Runes can be placed on any surface that can be written on, emptying them of their magic, but their single use can be refilled by being retooled by an expert magical craftsman, such as the Toolmaker.


Examples of Rune effects:


"Cast spell when someone enters this circle." (Any Spell)


"Keep healing anyone who stands in this circle for X amount of time." (Healing Spell)


"Cast this spell at anyone near the Rune after a certain amount of time." (Layers of Runes for X amount of casts)


"Cast this spell at the first/second/third/etc. person to enter this door/room/building" (Trap Spell)

  We are the body and soul of Magic itself. We are those who decide what magic is forbidden and what is not. We invent spells and show them to the world for use. We are the Arcane Five, and we're the protectors of Magic. Sandra Sominger

  About Sandra: Even though she's not a part of the Academy by teaching or learning, she's still a part of the Arcane Five. She's there as a honorary magician to help Ayla. She's Ayla's sister and her best friend at the same time. Sandra did not want anything to do with Wormingshire when it was just established as she wanted to run solo and study magic on her own. She is usually referred to as the 'Ice Queen' for those who do not know her name.

  About Odesus: 'The Monk of the East' is what he is called when referring to him by his title. He is the most advanced Manipulation magician in the entire world. Even though there is still a lot to learn for himself, Odesus enlisted Wormingshire as a teacher to spread his knowledge to those who deserve it and be in the community of others like him. Others, that would not call him an outcast or a freak.

  Age: 16
  
  
  Gender: Male
  
  
  Race: Human
  
  
  About Neil: Neil used to be the city entertainer within the capital's walls. He would use his cards and some help from Illusion magic he mastered to trick people into thinking he does magic with cards. Well, he did magic, just all the audience saw was in their own heads, images around them or just help from time. Neil once tried to get into the minds of a thousand people in the town square of the capital, however, he used too much of his magic, and that's when he got the mark on his eye that changed color that same time. After that he decided to stop tricking people, and just teach students their ways in Wormingshire.

  About Finicla: She was once a part of the mostly known tribe all over the globe. She was the tribe's shaman and used Energy Manipulation to aid her tribesmen in terms of war against other tribes. When she was called to Wormingshire to be one of the Arcane Five, she was sad to leave her tribe without a shaman, however happy that her son would grow up to be one. He would be taught on the spot.

  Race: Werewolf
  
  
  Race Explanation: Werewolves are humans that possess certain abilities from wolves. At her case, it is her fangs, claws, eyes and the instinct to hunt.
  
  
  About Amy: Amy was someone everyone would least expect to be on the Arcane Five. She's as feral as a rabid dog. If there's anything she doesn't like it goes to shreds because of her sharp claws and fangs. She uses her werewolf aspect and the Manipulation Blood magic to rip her enemies apart. She is quite pissed at Barthus for not letting her join the Military Council.

  About Mas'haara: Mas'haara had been a royal mage in Thartus ever since she learned magic. She has been sent on many missions and adventures to gather information, however now, she was sent to Wormingshire as an ambassador.

  About Melissa: Melissa's life wasn't the greatest, truth be told. Having to spend most of her time within a dungeon locked up for something her sister did was not the best thing in the world. However, she got her hands onto a book. A book for Destructon magic. Whenever the guards of her dungeon would not look, she would read through the book practicing magic. When she was finally proven innocent, she traveled the lands practicing magic even further, and then she heard of Wormingshire. Well, Wormingshire heard of her as the 'Master Spell'. That was a nickname given to her by the folk around Swynwick. Ayla recruited her to be a teacher at Wormingshire because of her Destruction abilities.

  About Roland: Roland never told anyone his real last name. In fact, he barely even talks to anyone unless it is a matter of teaching during classes. With his passion for the darker ways of Divination magic he takes care of the Wormingshire Cemetery while also teaches the magic he knows to help children out. The students that come to his classes are mostly scared of him because his apparel is made out of the skin of people that made him angry. At least that's what everyone says.

  Gender: Female
  
  
  Race: Reptilica
  
  
  Race Explanation: She's a part reptilian creature. Even though she does not have any body features of a reptile, the face resembles that of a snake's.
  
  
  About Siren: Siren is one of those bossy teachers. Within her own mind she's always superior than everyone else and thinks she's the best. She is the best there is at certain manipulation elements, however, she still acts like a total bitch sometimes. Most of her life she spent within swamps, as it is her natural habitat. She used to hunt down prey, be it intelligent or not, with her magic skills. Her admittance to Wormingshire was accidental. She traveled to it in hopes to find more knowledge on certain elements, however, ended up teaching.

  Age: 17

  Race: Feathered Human
  
  
  Race Explanation: Another failure of a magical experiment. There are only singular numbers of this type of species in the world, and Daniela is one of them. The only difference from human is that they have long wings that allow them minor flight.
  
  
  About Daniela: Daniela spends most of her time enclosed in the library, studying runes and creating new ones. She came to Wormingshire to study, however, she already knew runes as if it was her own inner self. She was really good at it. When Ayla noticed her talent, she did not let her study, she asked her if she could teach students. Of course, Daniela took the job and is now happy with it.

  About Veronica: A calm and concentrated girl. She's a part of the professors because of her restoration abilities. When a war rises she's always in the middle of it, aiding her allies in times of danger and pain. People that study under her supervision are almost all satisfied. Her hammer is the source for her magic as she got it at birth as a gift. She doesn't go anywhere without it.

  About Lisa: An elegant and charming lady only wearing black clothing. She lived a lonesome life traveling from town to town, from forest to forest. The only companions she had were the familiars she would summon to aid her in battle or practical uses, or just to keep her company. She enlisted as a teacher in Wormingshire in hopes to finally find a place to call home, and she did. Now she teaches the Conjuration elements.

  Race Explanation: These are an offspring of humans. The only difference from a human is that these creatures are half as tall as an average human.
  
  
  About Wanralf: This old wank is very perverted for a man his age. He often uses his familiars to his own advantage. He loves to see women without their clothes. The only reason he enlisted as a teacher in Wormingshire was because there were a lot of beautiful girls in it. Now he is a Conjuration teacher for some elements.

  In times of warfare these four are your people. They will gather up an army, strategize and conquer any opponent. However, they do not meddle in the Kingdom's business. They are only summoned when a threat arises to Wormingshire itself. When the times are in peace, they mostly spar with each other for fun, unless they have to teach or study.

  About Amanda: One of the most gifted second year students of Wormingshire and also a part of the Wormingshire Military Council, this girl is capable of four different types of magic. She's quite harsh for a girl her age, and since she's a part of the Military council, she always carries a huge sword with her. She's quite hot tempered and gets ticked off quite easily and is often the one to engage first into battle, empowering her sword with Evocation magic and summoning her companions with Conjuration magic. She's only allowed to carry her sword due to her presence in the Military Council.

  About Milda: She's the younger sister of Prontus, the Right Hand of Ayla. She graduated Wormingshire being the top student among the others within the same year.

  Gender: Male
  
  
  Race: Human
  
  
  About Barthus: When he was but a boy, Barthus was saved from the Anti-Archanist group Vlomnen who experimented on the poor boy's body. They rid his body of any magical essence forbidding him to cast any type of magic. However, Ayla was so impressed of his swordsman skills that she took him under his wing, hiring the best swordsmen in the continent to train him. They all failed. He knew more than them. When he was old enough, Ayla announced him the head of the Military Council. He's been in this position for five years now.

  Gender: Male
  
  
  Race: Elf
  
  
  About Privus: Privus finished Wormingshire as the most well known thief of the academy. He was so skilled in his art of archery and stealth that he was the sole reason Ayla banned weapons from Wormingshire, along with the Stealth magic type. After he finished Wormingshire, Ayla offered him to be a part of the Military Council as a guidance for strategic purposes. She did not regret this choice to this day. He studied Evocation Fire and Water, and he was the only one in the school to ever mix those two elements together. His favorite spell is empowering his arrows with Ice Fire, a fire that burns ice cold.

  Race: Human
  
  
  About Miranda: She's most commonly referred to as 'Fear Eater' as she feeds on human fear. Even though she seems like an average woman, she likes to use her Divination Illusion magic to create images that would make people cry in fear or rarely even die from it. She doesn't wish death upon them though, she only wants some entertainment from their fear. She's one of the Student Representatives for her Exemplary knowledge in the element of Divination Illusion.

  About Erica: Erica is considered the Wormingshire hit woman. She's been doing the request missions ever since she had joined to put her learnings to a test. She's been doing good deeds as a representative of Wormingshire for one and a half years now. She's extremely skilled with The Hurricane Blade, a weapon she makes from a chunk of Steel using her Metal Manipulation magic. It is not forbidden to carry her weapon around because it was made with magic, however, she has not been caught using it within Wormingshire boundaries even once. She uses Manipulation Metal and Destruction Wind to sometimes control the blade from out of her reach as it's spinning around in mid air when thrown. She was elected as a representative for the second years when Naibon was dealt with just because of her activity and her abilities. She was the best second year student besides Naibon.

  About Jeremy: After his parents were brutally dissected by the Staccatos of the Marsh, he's been studying Manipulation Time magic ever since. He had hopes to turn back time and warn them of the attack, however, only when he mastered the element did he find out that time travel is limited and can only be done at a day's length to the maximum. He's one of the Student Representatives for his Exemplary knowledge in the element of Manipulation Time.

Rules!

1. Regular RpN rules apply.


2. No godmodding/metagaming/bunnying and other similar crap.


3. No applying if you're under 13. There WILL be violence and blood.


4. Don't make up spells you didn't learn. Learning a spell requires at least a post of how you were doing so. (But preferably a few) It HAS to be roleplayed.


5. Don't cry if something is wrong in the roleplay. Read through everything thoroughly, even these rules, and if there is something you do not like either deal with it or go away.


6. Post at least once a day. I mean, I know this might be a problem for some people, but I want the roleplay to be progressing a little bit faster. I am not asking to spend hours on it. 20-30 minutes per day is not that much. If not able to do so, please tell us before we accept! Don't worry, this won't mean your denial, unless the reason for not posting is laziness.


7. When posting, please include a spoiler where you would mention where your character is and what magical abilities he has. This is meant for tracking and to remove confusion. There is a secret word written in white text in rule number eight. Select it to see it, and post it in the app to make sure you read the rules.


8. NO LONGER VALID. When you are applying, you will have to make a slight app for your mentor that will teach you also. This mentor, once created, will be added to the list of magic and will have to be used by anyone who will apply to the same category. You will have to work together. Lycus


9. If something happens that concerns your character, don't just ignore it. Act as if it was you!


10. Making up events and quests is encouraged, but nothing global!


11. Everyone MUST post at least once into the OOC thread, so they would get notifications for events that might be occurring. I will be posting them.


12. Post at least a 4-6 sentence paragraph, but don't write a wall of text. 1-3 paragraphs is perfect. 4 is okay. 5 or more is overboard.


13. Have fun!!
