I'll take number three.

Amplify Pain: Takes the targets pain and increases it. Non-lethal and only works on people feeling pain, but can incapacitate quickly.

Light Glance: This spell requires at least three mirrors. Light bursts from the used mirrors, and, when touching the point where all the beams meet, you can see into a persons mind, reading their thoughts, and possibly slightly altering them. Range depends on the number of mirrors.

You can enhance your abilities slightly, if you'd like (though the second one makes for great elaborate traps), or select a third, since you have a fairly big detriment in yours (scorned by the gods).

[Playergamer]

I think I'm good.

[Samarkand]

I think I'm good.

Okay. :-)

[Samarkand]

First turn is posted, let the games begin! If you're talking to a PC, chat away. If you're talking to an NPC I'll get back to you as quickly as I can, and this will occur between turns. If you're fighting this will also occur between turns. Other actions will take the duration of the turn. You can also look around for a free action, to decide what you should do (for best results in a busy area such as a port give me a hint as to what it is you're hoping to find). I'm going with 6 turns before nightfall, because the numbers are prettier. Note, the difference in turn lengths should not impact what actions can be taken, its again just so the numbers look pretty.

Dawn 6-8
Morning 8-11
Midday 11-2
Afternoon 2-5
Evening 5-8
Dusk 8-10
Nightfall 10-2 (You should be asleep)
Pre-dawn 2-6 (You should be asleep)

Here's each player and what I need from the (or offer to them) before too long:
Harry - Need: Can You Track Your Sheet?
Playergamer - Need: Magic Tradition Name, Can You Track Your Sheet? | I Give to You: Your character will receive the malus Disdain of the Gods, for your magic choice
Powder Miner - Need: Can You Track Your Sheet? | I Give to You: Your character will receive the skill Lunar Spirits, for your magic choice.
wolfchild - Need: Can You Track Your Sheet? | I Give to You: Your character will receive the skill Intuitive Cooking, for your magic choice.
Caellath - I Give to You: Your character will receive the skills Knowledge of Common Runes (I), Knowledge of Ethical Cabbalistic Experimentation (I), and Knowledge of Paradoxical Necromantic Writings (I)
Tiruin - Need: Magic Tradition Name, Can You Track Your Sheet?, 2 Spells | I Give to You: Charismatic Caster (Temporary Charisma bonus after songcasting).

These starting bonuses and maluses will be balanced out by the difficulty of learning/using the magical art. For example, Caellath must expand his academic background to gain new spells, and that knowledge offers dubious benefits at most times. Player may be scorned by the gods, but his focus set lends itself to high power spells.

[Samarkand]

Yeah, you can all assume to have a belt-pouch as well, so it's not impossible to carry your stuff. Harry, I'll treat marketplace stuff as dialogue, so you can make the decision about whether or not to make a purchase.

[Tiruin]

Can You Track Your Sheet?

MWAHAHAHAHAA

* Tiruin is an elite tracker of sheets.

^{She only needs ConfidenceTM and Friend SupportTM to make it all work out...}
Yes. C:

Tiruin - Need: Magic Tradition Name; 2 Spells.

> Empath; name of practitioners, going after the notion or ideology of empathy being the core concept of how this 'magic' works.
^{Sorry for porting in a name I'm using instead of an original one for this RtD Dx I couldn't find a better word in the thesaurus.}
> Empathics, field of 'magic' here.

Spoiler: Assignment #6; Cara's Choice. (click to show/hide)

Practitioners of this tradition tend to be very charismatic. Boundaries and water are its specialties. It uses music as a focus.

Boundaries in this sense pertaining to natural, biological and mental boundaries--working in respect to the sanctuary of the mind, the natural geological locations and their related studies, and the reverence of thought as the initial actor of our being; Aesthetics of the tone, the hymn, and the chord are held as a metaphysical aspiration--even people who are deaf or blind may learn via the vibrations of the vocal chords, or by reading via other senses (ie Touch).

...I'm assuming Braille or the in-world idea is present? I think I've a very developed idea of the world here xD Is..is this too much, Samarkand?

...
Hoo great am I laaate ._.

"Sometimes people aren't themselves when they're sad. There's one thing my mother taught me that calms the soul, and I'll teach it to you. Sing it when you feel down, little one, and the stars will look kindly upon you, as mother used to say."

  - Lucid Aria: Subtle, spoken or by instrumental means, Cara weaves a type of song that is able to clear the minds of others near to her, and possibly even those who may hear it from far away, from any intrusive thoughts or malevolent and encroaching ideas not borne of their person.

"Whenever I was tired or lost on what to do, I hummed a tune--any simple tune that I liked, with or without words--and found that it kept me on my feet. Attribute it to something you value, Cara, like a march or a scout in the forest. There is power in music. Make daddy proud, for you are our child."

  - Lay of Vitality: [Personal/Focused to one or a couple others] A note, or simple tune is played that is associated with a beholden idea of the hearer (usually personally) that gives what is regarded as a Second Wind or a boost in stamina after a spell of fatigue, or an idea in the works of art and literature.

This can only be done in a sphere which the hearer has trained in beforehand (ie Someone used to drawing or who knows the basics and wishes to draw may find inspiration after hearing the tune; those who do not know how to draw yet are focused on the idea may get a vague inspirational idea).

...
Obviously, this leaves a ton to GM intervention given that an Empath is focused more on the sphere of thought, otherwise regarded in their field as 'the first thing we all meet before others see [it]'

Is this ok, Samarkand? Sorry for lateness! :X

This all looks great. On Braille, it doesn't exist in this world, not developed enough to have that sort of accommodation for disability.

Also, no need at all to apologize. Plenty of actions have yet to be posted.

[Samarkand]

In case you missed the link before, here it is again.

Here's the list from earlier, edited for who has said stuff since then.
Harry - All good
Playergamer - Need: Magic Tradition Name, Can You Track Your Sheet? | I Give to You: Your character will receive the malus Disdain of the Gods, for your magic choice
Powder Miner - Need: Can You Track Your Sheet? | I Give to You: Your character will receive the skill Lunar Spirits, for your magic choice.
wolfchild - All good
Caellath - All good
Tiruin - All good, wanted to make sure you saw this: I Give to You: Charismatic Caster (Temporary Charisma bonus after songcasting).

[Powder Miner]

I'll be able to track my sheet.
Do I know what Lunar Spirits does?

[Samarkand]

I'll be able to track my sheet.
Do I know what Lunar Spirits does?

Yeah, it makes you susceptible to spirits during fuller moons, as was discussed before.

[Powder Miner]

Mmh, alright, just wanted a little confirmation.

[Samarkand]

Mmh, alright, just wanted a little confirmation.

No problem, I should have mentioned that earlier.

[Ta_veren]

I've been the one doing the illustrations. Thank you so much for your support guys!

[Caellath]

Congratulations. These illustrations were rather good.

[Tiruin]

Could I make a guess that Ta_veren was the artist in question and Samarkand's friend? That is awesome by the way.

PPE: Oh huh, I left this reply tab open for a few hours thinking I posted it down when it didn't..load. >.>
Well, 6 new replies a-
o_o

I've been the one doing the illustrations. Thank you so much for your support guys!

* Tiruin shoves ALL THE SUPPORT

Very well done illustrations. The 'blur' also seems to be an artistic touch rather than a hindrance in some (not poking at the quality but..it sort of feels like it gives an edge to it? Not ina  bad way at all :X!)

Tiruin - All good, wanted to make sure you saw this: I Give to You: Charismatic Caster (Temporary Charisma bonus after songcasting).

Funny thing. I saw it and didn't think to edit it in XD
oops.
