(ISG) Invokers of Magic: Exploration
« on: July 27, 2014, 09:10:31 pm »

Spoiler: Seen Aspects (click to show/hide)






   Before you stands four gates of power. You float in the perpetual plane of darkness, only being illuminated by the mysterious teal glow of the gates before you. In the middle of it all rises a faint purple portal, glowing as it shimmers with an unknown power. You recognize the peculiar symbols on the gates as four of the primal aspects; Ignis, terra, aera, and aqua. In this dreamscape you shall choose an affinity for which your magic will follow--enhancers of power which tie your very being into the element. Either that or you choose the portal of the arcanist, in which you are not bound to an affinity. Choosing this path will allow you free use of every element.
   Choosing an affinity will grant you more power of that affinity. However, this renders you unable to cast spells of the opposite type. You are more resistant to the same affinity and you are more vulnerable to the opposite. You cannot cast spells of the opposite affinity, summon from the opposite, nor can you artifice using the opposite.

Choose wisely.

Swapping my vote to Arcanist, actually.

Arcanist.
What.
The fifth choice, we're not bound to any one, we can use them all. Presumably this will also mean we'd be weaker in, say, Terra than someone that chose Terra, but also would be able to use Aera, which is their weakness.

Also, I feel like an idiot for commenting on dwarves when I voted for Ignis, mostly because it sounded like a stone and I was having trouble deciding between that and Terra.

Arcanist

Because that's the way we're most likely to learn how to manipulate reality itself. I think.

No, he's trying to derm. It's a reflex he has. A new thread opens and he derms. All over it.

Power over nothing is vastly different than having no power.

Hey, it's not my fault that trying to confuse the GM is so fun!

Not that many actually ever do the paths I suggest, but it's fun to think of, and as long as it's a vaguely interesting possibility and not actively harming the thread I don't see any problem.

I'm gettin' a kind of Avatar-ish feel here, I must say.
