[Prophet]

Mind breaks from magic using.

[Lyeos]

No, they're all made of the same thing. I still have to write and rewrite a few bits, but basically the bark is removed, the part made, then the bark is sewn back on with something very specific that I'm not revealing until later.

And the soul eating is to keep the body powered.

Mind breaks from magic using.

Daaaammit now we have to wait for Kevak, someone has to actually make the spell... Uuuuuhhhhn.

[CaptainMcClellan]

Okay.

I'm on Steam with him right now discussing what this means.

[CaptainMcClellan]

Spoiler: Spells, from the horse's mouth (click to show/hide)

saturnstarinc2: Hey Kevak.
saturnstarinc2: I need an explain of your magic system.
saturnstarinc2: Again.
Kevak is now Online.
Kevak: What parts don't make sense?
saturnstarinc2: Well no...
saturnstarinc2: My character just attempted a heal minor wounds spell.
saturnstarinc2: Using his bow as a physical focus.
saturnstarinc2: What happens now?
Kevak: Why did he use his bow as a focus?
saturnstarinc2: Because that's something that his particular tribe does.
Kevak: What does the bow do to channel the magic?
Kevak: Ahs.
saturnstarinc2: To avoid having to wield a staff and a bow.
saturnstarinc2: At the same time.
Kevak: So basically a siege archer?
saturnstarinc2: I mean, an unstrung bow is about the same as a staff anyway.
saturnstarinc2: And yea, I guess/
saturnstarinc2: ?
Kevak: What was your % chance for success with that spell?
saturnstarinc2: Well considering he's trying to heal minor wounds on a major wound.
saturnstarinc2: Probably not too good.
saturnstarinc2: He's trying to fix Ammilek's broken arm.
Kevak: The % chance is for casting.
saturnstarinc2: Which is beyond his ability.
saturnstarinc2: And I don't know.
Kevak: Ammilek's arm is missing.
saturnstarinc2: Most of it yes.
saturnstarinc2: It's not likely to suceed.
saturnstarinc2: I knew that.
saturnstarinc2: I just need to know if like there's supposed to be a roll now?
Kevak: I don't think that normal healing spells can replace magical wood of condensed evil either.
saturnstarinc2: Mmm.
saturnstarinc2: He's not really thinking about what he's doing.
Kevak: I would assume an auto fail cause that is completely outside of the spell's effects.
saturnstarinc2: Mmhmm.
Kevak: At best nothing happens. At worst, he gets a mild magical backlash and manaburn.
saturnstarinc2: Mmm.
saturnstarinc2: Okay.
saturnstarinc2: So how would I know whic?
saturnstarinc2: And what would manaburn *do* in this context?
Kevak: Mild manaburn does -10 for success rolls for spells.
Kevak: You roll a d100.
saturnstarinc2: Okay.
saturnstarinc2: So do I need to roll a d100 right now?
Kevak: The % of success is the 100 numbers.
Kevak: Yush!

Kevak: If he fails nothing happens.
saturnstarinc2: See, I read the entire system and I still didn't get that's what's supposed to happen.
Kevak: Success roll again.
saturnstarinc2: 13
saturnstarinc2: So he failed at a an auto-fail.
saturnstarinc2: Sounds about right for a severe hangover.
Kevak: So that is a failed cast nothing happened.
saturnstarinc2: Okay.
Kevak: So basically maybe lil sparks or something fizzle.
saturnstarinc2: Mmm.
Kevak: Or just absolutely nothing.
Kevak is now Online.
saturnstarinc2: I'm going to have his failure manifest as a headache.
saturnstarinc2: With no result.
Kevak: Well he technically got no penalty for failure.
saturnstarinc2: Yeah.
saturnstarinc2: I'm considering that part of the penalty for being hungover.
Kevak: Cause he didn't channel the mana in the first place.
Kevak: Ahs.
saturnstarinc2: I've never been hungover myself.
saturnstarinc2: But I imagine it makes focusing *hurt*, right?
saturnstarinc2: And irregardless of whether he channeled mana or not, he would've had to focus to try.
Kevak: I advise not drinking, I've heard it is similar to sleep deprivation.

saturnstarinc2: Yeah.
saturnstarinc2: Which is moreso what I'm basing my assumptions on.
Kevak is now Online.
Kevak: Well I haven't put up the specific casting rules yet cause I wasn't expecting us to need then translated to English, sooo~ feel free to wing it for nows.
saturnstarinc2: Mmm.
Kevak: Them*
saturnstarinc2: What do you mean "translated to English"?
saturnstarinc2: From thought-language, do you mean?
saturnstarinc2: Or are you bilingual?
Kevak: I use an impossible to read shorthand.
saturnstarinc2: Ah.
Kevak: If you lack the context.
saturnstarinc2: So sort of like Steno then.
Kevak: And I do shorthand in three languages.
saturnstarinc2: Mmm.
Kevak: Sooo~
saturnstarinc2: As do I.
saturnstarinc2: Usually only two though.
saturnstarinc2: At any rate.
saturnstarinc2: I'm going to post all this to the OOC thread in a spoiler.
Kevak: It's a mix of several languages and abbreviations and numbers and little doodles of game systems.
saturnstarinc2: So that everyone sorta has some idea of how we're supposed to do it.
Kevak: And Okays.

[Lyeos]

Hm. Alright then.
.....
Hooray for nobody being able to link my name on here to my Steam account.
And, yeah, as you saw, he hasn't finished putting everything up.
He has so many games... How can one afford that many games....?
And no, normal healing spells cannot. 

[ZalkozDestbro]

I have soooo many games that completely explains the type of games I like

[~Neri]

I may be taking a nap in a minute. Didn't sleep at all last night.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

It would be nice if Playergamer responded to my action.

[Lyeos]

I may be taking a nap in a minute. Didn't sleep at all last night.

Get a better sleep schedule or I will totally not be able to find where you live to smack you into next week, and then I'll just end up setting something on fire.
 

It would be nice if Playergamer responded to my action.

Yes. Yes, it would.

[~Neri]

Zal, your character has effectively no knowledge of magic based off his backstory, the sentence you had him say made no sense. Please stay in character.

[Prophet]

Lyeos are you friends with CMC on steam?

[Lyeos]

Lyeos are you friends with CMC on steam?

Why?

[Prophet]

I need to know so I can guess who you are on steam.

[CaptainMcClellan]

I need to know so I can guess who you are on steam.

I cannot comment either way whilst it appears I don't have consent. If you do puzzle it out, don't tell anyone without the same.

[Prophet]

Why do you think i'm avoiding saying who I think Lyeos is. If I figure it out I won't tell anyone they can figure it out on their own.
