What level of Heal is required to turn Thannels into Humans?

[Demonic Spoon]

$$$Pricecheck
Weapontrees: Trees that grow weapons instead of fruit, equivalent to the excellent quality weapons of [weaponspace +5], but usable by anyone who picks a weapon from the tree. Can grow a near unlimited variety of weapons. The weapons have plant aesthetics (e.g. grass blade sword), but are just as effective as normal weapons

KJP, you seem to have missed Notemancy?

Create a school of magic called Notemancy. Notemancy is the ability to create illusions by playing music. (Think holo phones from futurama)

What level of Heal is required to turn Thannels into Humans?

That seems less something for heal, and more that'd require complete bodily modification.  Thannels aren't humans, they're very good imitations of humans, with the disguise only being broken once they hit the age limit.

Once again Corpomancy springs to mind as a solution to the problem. I really like that school of magic, it's pretty versatile.

EDIT: Fixed a important typo.

[Happy Demon]

Okay, gonna say something...

I plan to turn the K'ruppt Land into a training ground.
Where lost souls can train to become immortals, those who ascend all 3 pillars (still haven't decided what the other 2 will do/keep sealed inside) will become very powerful.
Also, the Skarati could become a ridiculously powerful force, as all of them becomes lost souls.
Not to mention, the criteria is lost Sisska souls, so that includes the Skarati.
Heck, maybe it'll turn into some sort of Spirit Realm, where Spirit Warriors fight Zenurion's lost soul retrievers, forming some sort of power dynamic.

I haven't really planned it all the way through, it kinda just falls into place as I do stuff (I never planned for the Skarati to be such a good candidate for warriors).
There's also the point where I can seal powerful artifacts inside each pillar, so if anyone destroys the K'ruppt Land, I can grab the weapons and retaliate.

Then again, now that I've said it, it's likely you would either deliberately avoid destroying the K'ruppt Land, or you'll forget and get a nasty surprise.

Edit: Actually, it allows all souls now, it's just that there's more Skarati lost souls than anyone else.

[Demonic Spoon]

I've been thinking of making soul predators, incorporeal creatures with the [eat souls] trait and have them eat Lost Souls, because random souls hanging around is displeasing to my aesthetic sense.

Good, more competition. Who says afterlife has to be boring?

[Happy Demon]

Also, clarification.

The Physicality effect only makes people visible in the K'ruppt Land. They can't just greet their family in that form.
Not to mention, it'd be weird to see them talking to thin air (lost souls), or fighting thin air (whatever soul predator they encounter).

Is it possible for me to lock up my free afterlife something with the Locked trait?

Magic relating to precision, efficiency, and improvements. This cannot often be applied to biological systems (keyword 'cannot often be applied), but can be applied to machinery or equipment designed to enhance biological systems. Limitations are of course ever present depending on skill level, and it does more than just 'improve systems'; at low levels it could be thought of as a sort of diagnostics systems, you could say. Checking for errors and malfunctions and the like. Designed for use with machinery or large interconnected systems and supply chains, in large part. Stacks with Enchanting and/or technomancy, most likely, mirrors Wrenchmancy?

Manipulating small events.
May sort of be changing "luck", but when one reaches higher tiers, one can cause larger effects.  For instance, small-level stuff is making projectiles miss you, or some water spontaneously condense.  High-level stuff is making a wormhole manifest in just the right place to drop the enemy's projectiles right back in their lines, and causing suddenly weather.  Or spontaneous material changes.  Etc.  If you're willing to wait for a bit, your potential effects can scale up a LOT.
But basically, manipulating small events.  It's just that over time, you can manipulate more events, which multiplies your effectiveness.

Spoiler: Corpomancy (Zenurion/FArgHalfnr) (click to show/hide)

Original Post
Corpomancy (corpo being taken from the french word corps, which means body (I'm only adding this because of the debate about naming that's been going on earlier, and no I'm not switching to Latin or Greek (can't remember which (and yes this is a lot of parenthesis inside each other I know)))): This school of magic focus on the alteration of preexisting life through controlled mutation, addition or removal of features, fusion of multiple beings or split of one being in many. While it does not technically allow the creation of independent new life, it is possible "bend" this rule by to create multiple consciousness (and by extension souls) through splitting or other means (also think of Cerberus, that's a thing that would technically be possible, that is a single being with multiple minds).

Inexperienced users will only be able to perform minor changes, such as changing hair or skin color, and only on themselves. As they progress, they will be able to perform more and more radical changes on their target, and learn to affect others from an increasingly large distance (although still pretty small, an advanced user might be alter the occupants of a single rooms, while a master might alter all those in a medium building). Difficulty is increased by the number of targets, the level of change attempted, the range between the caster and his target, and the magical resistance of the target. It is possible to affect something the caster can't see, but it will be much harder to do so.

the magic of reading someone's thoughts and memories. The school also teaches people how to get rid of memories and thoughts from a willing man or women.

Spoiler: Dryadism (Sylvan/Demonic Spoon) (click to show/hide)

The art of linking your life to that of a tree, by feeding it with your lifesblood. The earlier the linking happens in both the lives of the tree and the practitioner (hereafter referred to as "dryad"), the more effective the bonding is, like how you can easily twist the stems of two seedlings around each other, but not do the same with full grown trees. Typically, maximum effectiveness is gained by using the blood of a newborn baby to quicken a tree seed.

After the initial linkage, the bond strengthens over time, and with the amount of care, attention and love the dryad gives to its tree and how well the tree flourishes (meaning that incompetent care is potentially worse than no care at all).

The bond gives both advantages and disadvantages to its participants and is divided into several stages, as tree and dryad slowly fuse into a single entity. The dryad can only perform certain special magical actions known as twistings, depending on the level of the bond, improving its tree over the course of years and decades as it has branches grow in certain patterns and forms runes from the whorls of bark and wood, both inside and outside the tree.

One Life (novice):
The tree and dryad share a single life. Their lifespan is the average of the two's lifespans, so usually the lifespan of the tree would be decreased, while the lifespan of the dryad would be increased. If one dies, so does the other, if one is revived (e.g. resurrective immortality), so is the other. Due to their linked life, the dryad cannot move further than a 500 metres from the tree. If it does, both it and the tree immediately die, and cannot be resurrected.
Example Twistings:
Lesser Improved Growth: The tree grows faster, stronger, better.
Fire-Resistant: The tree is harder to catch on fire

One Body (intermediate):
The tree's body is the dryad's body, allowing the dryad to move into the tree like he'd sink into a bathtub, allowing the creation of more potent Twistings by manipulating the tree from the inside, and allowing the Dryad to hide from potential dangers. Any wounds one of the two suffer is shared by the other, but this does make it somewhat harder to kill them as they pool their collective lifeforce to stay alive.
Example Twistings:
Fireproof: The tree cannot burn from anything but the most intense heat
Improved Growth: Like the lesser version, but better
Longevity: The lifespan is the maximum of the tree or the dryad, not the average.
Bronzewood: Makes the wood of the tree tougher than bronze.

One Soul (Advanced):
The dryad and the tree have a single, shared soul. The tree effectively acts like a phylactery for the dryad, allowing it to be reborn inside the tree in the event that it dies. This still doesn't overcome the distance kill and resurrection limit of the One Life stage however. Magical effects that effect one of the two bonded ones, such teleportation, or hostile magic, effect both, however the dryad and the tree pool their ability to resist such magic, if desired, and the effect is somewhat weakened by having an extra target.
Example Twistings:
Greater Improved Growth: Even better than the other two
Treant: The tree becomes a treant, able to move around and stuff (does not work on Evertrees)
Immortal: Makes the dryad and tree immune to the ravages of old age (redundant for Evertrees)
Steelwood: Makes the wood of the tree tougher than steel.

Spoiler: Echoturgy/Resonance (Arkford/Dutrius) (click to show/hide)

Original Post
Resonance magic is superficially similar to musical magic, in that vibrations are used to produce some effect. That is where the similarities end though. With musical magic, strings of notes are played in sequence, while with Resonance magic, different frequencies, amplitudes, phases and even wave speeds are layered on top of each other to create resonance or dissonance to achieve some goal. Applications include: heating substances, cooling substances, transmitting audio, jamming audio, making bridges wobble, stopping bridges from wobbling, levitating small objects, levitating larger objects, disrupting substances at a molecular level and stabilising substances at a molecular level. The possibilities are (almost) endless! Especially if you accept the existence of particle-wave duality.

Spoiler: Element K'ruppt (Si/Happy Demon) (click to show/hide)

Original Posts: 1 2
elemental magic based on exchange, trading control over the element, with parts of the body.
If a person dabbles into elemental fire, they'll start becoming more and more fire-like (glowing veins, emitting smoke, and even being on fire) as they gain more and more control, same for the other elements.
They can even trade limbs for elemental control, like giving up your arm, and getting an elemental stone arm instead, which gives control over earth through that arm.
The naming is based on "Element" and "Kropp", the latter meaning "Body".

The E'lement K'ruppt is irreversible, and is rather insidious, slowly trying to spread to more of your body. The end result being that you inevitably turn into an elemental.
The shape is based on the soul, so you don't even need to have the limb to offer it, it will just generate the elemental limb.
This takes time however, so a severed head can't just gain an elemental body in the time it takes to suffocate, it takes minutes to hours or even days, depending on how much of your body you trade.

The E'lement K'ruppt must be regularly reinvigorated at a source of it's elemental power. If it's not, the body parts will lose power, beginning to dissolve, crumble, burn weaker, etc.
Invigoration is hastened by meditating while it's going on. Water requires presence to running non-stagnant water. Fire requires a living flame, any flame will do (sunlight is the best though).
Earth requires a place with healthy earth (natural and supporting life (flora and/or fauna), caverns is the best). And Air requires basking in free flowing air from the winds (mountaintops are the best).

Original Post
Controlling things. Mostly stuff that's already malleable or moldable, but different levels of skill mean different levels of ability, precision, things to control, and so on. Speed varies; typically proportional to what is attempted to be controlled. Not creation, not destruction(or at least not directly either of those), but essentially it could be called Authority Magic. Exerting one's dominion and willpower onto objects, substances, or beings. Not sure what it would stack with or mirror.

Spoiler: Feromancy (Quelor/ShadowDragon) (click to show/hide)

Original Post
Feromancy is a form of magic that allows the user to detect and manipulate metal. Beyond the obvious uses, it allows a skilled user to find and extract far more ores without advanced chemical processes. It does not offer the ability to create metal, and is less effective on substances that are not purely metal, such as steel and ore.

Spoiler: Glyph-Lines/G1YPH-L1N35 (Jens/FallacyofUrist) (click to show/hide)

Original Post
The magic system known as G1YPH-L1N35 works via Nodes and Links.
A Node is a built-in program in the OS that has been created at the dawn of time. A Node, once manifested by making a metal sphere with the desired Node Glyphs inscribed on it, triggers one specific function(creating a variable, running a Basic(burn, shock, move, summon), and/or/not/if clauses, the basics, all in all.) Once a Node is triggered, any Lines drawn to the Node will trigger and fire off a pulse along the linked Line to any other Nodes linked. As you might imagine, this is effectively a magic programming language that can be used to do most things the other magic systems can do, but with an increased complexity and metal cost. Notably, there is no "gift" other than intelligence that is required for use of G1YPH-L1N35.

Neuromancy is a school of magic that can only affect the nerves of living creatures. The most common use of Neuromancy is making someone feel pain in a specific area, but more advanced Neuromancers can activate nerves in an area of the body, simulating the touch of a certain object, making them feel different temperatures and making someone immune to pain. The most powerful Neuromancers can even enter someone's brain to read or remove their memories, make them believe stuff more easily and some can even trick the optic nerves of people, showing them nonexistent objects, or removing things from sight. Anything the nerves can do, can be simulated using Neuromancy, but most things take years of practice.

Spoiler: Pact Binding (Zenurion/FArgHalfnr) (click to show/hide)

Original Post
Pact Binding: The creation, manipulation or destruction of links binding multiple beings (or objects) of various nature. While it does not imply a set of rule for any party to follow, excluding the direct logical results of the bind, it is possible to include them at the moment of it's creation. Usages of this school of magic can include things like the acquisition of a familiar, binding ghosts to a crypt (although with a lot less efficiency and control that necromancy might bring), establishing a telepathic connection, binding a soul (and consciousness) to a weapon, and the kind of pacts you would except a devil to offer. Binds vary by strength and what exactly is bound together. Factors that determine the difficulty of Pact Binding are the strength of the link, the willingness or magic resistance of all party involved, the amount of targeted beings or things and the amount/level of benefits that might come out of it to any party. A pact isn't restricted by distance by default, but adding such a restriction would generally reduce the skills needed for it.

Binds created from this school are typically called "pacts", even though they don't necessarily fit the traditional definition of the word.

Putremancy is the magic of decay and slimy creepy things. At low levels it can cause plants to die, mushrooms to grow, summon spiders and other creepy things, and generally upset one's stomach. At higher levels it can cause creatures and objects to age quickly, create abominations, spread diseases, and prevent aging. Some practitioners find that the pillars of this school come easily to them (if they live in caves or have seen much decay) and thus specialization and ingenuity are common.

Spoiler: Ritual magic (Bohenar/DreamerGhost) (click to show/hide)

Original Post
Ritual magic always affects an area, which varies from house sized to city sized and above. It involves placing certain objects, burning certain objects and a chant that is only used when initiating a spell. Objects and effect would be determined by mortals - the objects chosen to be placed and burned, the chants used and effect gained must in some way make sense to them. Once a ritual spell causing a certain effect would transpire, only that ritual would work to grant that effect, effectively creating a new ritual magic spell. Should one of resources required become permanently unavailable, the spell lock on the effect caused by said spell would disappear, allowing for a new ritual that would grant that effect.

Runecrafting (Jixiu/Fr0stByt3)

Spoiler: San K'ruppt (Si/Happy Demon) (click to show/hide)

Original Post
San K'ruppt (Sann Kropp=True Body), a bodily magic, which draws from the body of the user.
Users of San K'ruppt will be able to enhance their bodies, but at the cost of energy, not life energy, just energy, as in stamina or mana.
They can also meditate to more quickly recover said energy, though doing so is not easy, requiring significant mastery.
Healing, curing diseases, curing poison, enhancing strength, and they can do this to others as well, though it's difficult. They can solve many non-magical problems.
It can't stop fire or lift curses, only heal the damage they do.

San K'ruppt can also be used for fighting, enhancing your strength, durability, or shooting (short range) energy blasts out of your hands.
Not to mention it strengthening your instincts, and enhancing your senses.
But it does nothing to help the mind or soul, so users will often become dull minded or revert to bestial behavior, as the body's instincts begin to take precedent over the mind.
The effect is difficult to counteract, and those who begin to become dull-minded will likely not notice this happening before it's too late.
And if you use San K'ruppt too recklessly, it can affect your mind directly, making you start to go insane.

Spoiler: Tree-Jutsu (Sylvan/Demonic Spoon) (click to show/hide)

The magic of making trees grows faster, better, and more adaptablely. A novice might grow a single tree from seed to adult over the course of a week, and have it enjoy good tree health for the rest of it's life, a journeyman, might be able to make a small copse of trees over a month, with the trees being adapted to taste bad to herbivores, a master could potentially cover a desert in thick forest, that somehow survives in the harsh environment in the future. It's also at the master level that it becomes practical to use Tree-Jutsu in combat, growing trees inside the lungs/flesh of your opponent and so on.

To be able to practise Tree-Jutsu, you must first be in good standing with tree kind (so no lumberjacks basically), and then have a deep understanding and knowledge of trees, as well as make your own body more treelike. Corpomancy is popular to achieve the latter, replacing the skeleton with a wood-equivalent, making your nails into leaves instead etc.

Umbramancy is the magic of darkness. Even novice users can use it to hide well in the shadows. At low levels it allows for hearing through shadows, moving shadows, hiding in darkness, seeing better in darkness and a lesser shadow companion. At medium levels it allows for complete darkvision, the creation of darkness within an area, and the ability to make objects out of shadow temporarily and a shadow servant. At higher levels it allows individuals to enchant objects with darkness and to summon more powerful shadow servants as well as fast traveling through darkness. Practitioners of this path find the first levels extremely easy and even non-mages can pick up a truck or two. However, the higher levels which create permanent effects are tricky to master.

I'm half-sunburned (the left half, if anyone is curious) and sore and had to endure almost four hours of browsing, the worst type of shopping imaginable.

At least it's football season tomorrow. I get to watch the Packers embarrass the Bears in Chicago, and then get fed.

....How do you get half sunburned?

And ya know, you are old enough to tell your parents when you don't want to do something  .

I'm quite talented like that. I am so fair-skinned that I just go from milky white to red.

I would've said I wasn't going had I known it was just lots of shopping, with a little bit of learning. It was a Native American festival thing in Milwaukee. They also flew hunners and hunners of miles to come see me so it would be rude not to go...

I've been learning quite a bit about the area I live in though. Made subs during WWII, and one of the 28 built actually had the second best record (though it failed to say in what regard it was second best...) out of the 288 used during the war.

Hm... I'm considering making the pillars taller, and go into realms separate to each other.
So the Grand Pillar of Physicality will go through 10 realms of physicality, each more demanding than the last.
At the end, is being indestructible.

I'm planning to make the other 2 pillars Mentality and Spirituality.
I'm not sure what kind of hindrance those would have.
Maybe a confusing and complicated pattern on the Mentality Pillar, and a soul-crushing kind of design on the Spirituality Pillar.

When going through the realms, if you fail, you lose.
Fail Physicality, and your form is eradicated, so you can't be reformed no matter what. Your soul remaining in the realm you failed, where you'll work to hinder the next who try.
Fail Mentality, and your mind is eradicated, you turn into a feral beast. Your soul remains as your body does whatever it's instincts tell it to, while you'll work to cause hindrance, and even modify the pillar as others try to scale it. The higher the plane, the more you can modify, so the climber has to predict you.
Fail Spirituality, and you turn into a mindless automaton. Your soul remains, and you're fated to hinder the next for the rest of time.

Succeed all 3, and you'll become A God of Mind, Body, and Soul.

Of course this would have to be a very long term goal.

Tenat shall make a small change to the targeting and have references to Lawgivers and Phylacteries save for their creation be replaced with references to Cebrains and (possibly) Gospels.

I'm not sure what this means, or is referring to? Clarification please?

Realized that [existing souls] trait does not make sense if added to a [soulless] creation, so dropped that trait from the phylacteries.

Tenat is re-aiming the attacks on the Lawgivers to Cebrains.

What attacks? You never targeted the Lawgivers with attacks that I noticed. Not sure why you would either.

Exactly.  I moved the attacks that other people made.

[Happy Demon]

Wait, I just thought of something.
Each pillar is locked. In order to get permission, you have to stand at the base, and then climb (no flying or teleporting).
The Locks start at Locked 0 at the pillar in the material realm, and go up for each realm. Until it reaches Locked +10 at the 10th realm, so not even gods can teleport to the top and gain power.
Not unless they're like... 64, working together.
If they don't have stepped on the base of the pillar, they can't even grip inside the grooves, and can't ascend through the clouds and into the realms.
There's also no power there, absolute zero, as the rest is in the other realms.

Gonna be pricey though.

[Demonic Spoon]

Considering there aren't even 32 gods, 64 is probably superfluous.

Also, cheating the system by creating a race of super-climbers and sending them up the pillars en masse.

[FArgHalfnr]

Okay, gonna say something...

I plan to turn the K'ruppt Land into a training ground.
Where lost souls can train to become immortals, those who ascend all 3 pillars (still haven't decided what the other 2 will do/keep sealed inside) will become very powerful.
Also, the Skarati could become a ridiculously powerful force, as all of them becomes lost souls.
Not to mention, the criteria is lost Sisska souls, so that includes the Skarati.
Heck, maybe it'll turn into some sort of Spirit Realm, where Spirit Warriors fight Zenurion's lost soul retrievers, forming some sort of power dynamic.

I haven't really planned it all the way through, it kinda just falls into place as I do stuff (I never planned for the Skarati to be such a good candidate for warriors).
There's also the point where I can seal powerful artifacts inside each pillar, so if anyone destroys the K'ruppt Land, I can grab the weapons and retaliate.

Then again, now that I've said it, it's likely you would either deliberately avoid destroying the K'ruppt Land, or you'll forget and get a nasty surprise.

Edit: Actually, it allows all souls now, it's just that there's more Skarati lost souls than anyone else.

Wait, what? Soul retrievers? Where do you get that? I'm afraid you'll be sending your warriors to fight thin air .

[Happy Demon]

Considering there aren't even 32 gods, 64 is probably superfluous.

Also, cheating the system by creating a race of super-climbers and sending them up the pillars en masse.

Yeah, about that.
It gets more physically demanding the farther up you get.
At the higher levels, the grab-able places are sharpened and there's amplified gravity and murderous spirits trying to tear them apart (the higher up, the more power).

You'd have better luck zerg rushing it.

Not to mention, what makes you think they'll obey you afterwards?
Each pillar grants immense power, not to mention, the spirituality pillar would be the worst, but also one of the most powerful ones.
As it's the opposite of automation, aka. freedom, even from loyalty.

Wait, what? Soul retrievers? Where do you get that? I'm afraid you'll be sending your warriors to fight thin air .

Hey, don't act as if I don't know. Hell is the kind of place apostates are sent, so of course you have people doing that sort of thing.
