Name: Alara Zephyr

Personality Traits: Adventurous, Risk-taker, Analytical, Open-minded, Intrapersonal, Passionate
Element: For the Poll! {Preferring Wind :3}
Channeling item class: Finger-less Gloves!

+1 to this


And we should pick an element that we can use in not only battle but in other more useful ways too. Stone or life could make shelter out of rock or plants, fire can melt and shape metal and glass, water can carve rock and keep us hydrated in deserts when we draw it from underground as well as making sea traveling easier, wind could make us extremely useful for sailing boats and mills, etc.

I personally am going for stone, since that seems useful and a bit of a new choice from people who like to take stuff like fire or light and such. IT'S TIME TO ROCK!!

I would plus one this, but i am more for writing than for gloves in spicific. Yes, it calls for a bit of preplanning, but, we can make spells for any situation as long as we have a medium and writing material. Actually, i think it should be written words, than just righting utincles, so we can write in dirt and have what we need to work with.
On that note, i am also for the plant element because, there is nearly no situation where it will not help.

+1 for writing over gloves.

Fingerless gloves feels a bit to specific (I can see you buying regular gloves and chopping off fingers just to use them) so as far as I am concerned gauntlets, gloves, fingerless gloves are all really the same thing. I also had a thought and I think if you picked gloves then magic punches would also be a way to use them.

Unless I counted wrong we've got 4 for gloves and 4 for writing implements(Not going to allow words in general since that is just a tad to handy). So right now it's a stalemate between writing and gloves.

Since air seems to be winning, lets channel using a cape! We shall activate it by running!

[Tiruin]

Woah, those +1's. Thanks you all!

Well, what I was thinking about when I picked gloves: Easier to acquire in time, handy to modify and also enables tracing on a material (writing by finger movements  ) and the cliche'd  palm movements.

Somehow, martial arts was one of the primary reasons I chose gloves, and of watching the animated series of The Last Airbender. Also, as it seems Air is winning, how's about glyph tracing in the air?

Sounds good. +42

I'm voting for writing implements. I just like the idea of inscribing runes on things to cast magic more than the idea of punching things to do so.

Yeah I'll go with this. Magic Punches sound as silly as fingerless gloves.

And then we start imbuing weaponry and armor with Aerial wards and protection glyphs that would cause any attack to miss, and inscribe our boots with glyphs of speed to easily evade Ol'Mayard's stuff.

Hmm...the potential of it all. 

Fingerless gloves aren't silly. :I

FTFY

Did you even read the words you wrote?

[Lillipad]

Wind is such a boring "element" though... And why has nobody suggested to use the protagonist's own body as the item? You'd get the best of both worlds. You could things with your feeble human fists, and write runes in your feeble magic blood. It's not too broad to be overpowered since it's only the protagonist's body, and there's nothing in the rules for what you use that says you can't classify the protagonist as a general item.

Because that would be incredibly overpowered? You would always have it with you and it can't be taken away from you.

Yes. I just think it fits the Swords and Sorcery theme better than magic kung-fu would. I don't really have anything against it in particular, I'm a big fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender, but it really doesn't fit my personal mental image of a Mage.

C'mon, making magic by causing our cape to billow, it would leave chaos, quite literally, in our wake!

I'm all for this stuff, cos you know the character sounds awesome. I actually voted fire cos I reckon it is one of the more practical, but that isn't really important.

I reckon for the implement, something original WOULD be nice, so maybe something like, I dunno, if air ends up being voted then the cape idea was pretty cool, or something like musical instruments, to PLAY the magic. That, I reckon, is another good one.
But, if all else fails and it is writing-vs-gloves, I would go writing.


tl;dr- Music to play magic, or if not then writing implements +1.
