And for those who where just waiting for the others to post..?

Not sure... Would you rather start over, or leave the magic system as-is and bring in some more people?(even if we start over you'll keep what you discovered in the mausoleum.)

It'll be a few days before I can start this up again either way, school just started. That's also why I haven't updated elemental RTD yet.

[Nivim]

 I would prefer we somehow brought in the old people, most of them anyway. Hm, how about a powerful magical accident(?) that kills all players who don't check in during the next two days. A slight change is scenery that accelerates some plots.

[dragnar]

Alright, I've got enough work out of the way to get this started again. I've got a couple options for where to go from here:
1. We continue on as normal, the new players start out the same as the others did(though with the advantage of knowing all the magic explained in the thread)

2. The still-active old players travel to some far-away place, where the new ones are. Same magic system still, but better excuse to remove the inactive players.

3. Restart. The old players would have some starting advantage, but the word meanings for the basic school would be scrambled, so you would all have to start over. (Same basic system though, it's the only real way elementalism can work with the way I have things planned.)

4. Any other ideas?

Current player list(those who were still active/expressed interest):
Nivm
Nirur Torir
techno65535
RAM
Armok

I would be happy enough with 1. It seems like the least effort and the basic school is likely to be fairly well-known. The real power is likely to be in the other schools anyway...

Yeah, elementalism is a lot of raw power, but not much control, and it's too tiring to use for long.

[Nivim]

 Hm, perhaps a bit of a combination.

 5. The inactive players die miserably are sent off on their own somewhat important missions for the academy, and may return at a later date with some skill/knowledge gain (based on the other player's strength when they return). The new players (~late graduates) get the knowledge from the thread of course, but also free research (1-3 spells) from their broader study.

[Nirur Torir]

I vote system 3. A vocabulary wipe starts us off on nearly equal footing, and we get the fun of re-educating ourselves.

[techno65535]

System 3 but also knowing the true meanings of a few of the words from the spells that we start with.

[Armok]

either is fine with me, but I guess i vote 3.

[Virex]

Is there still place in here for my wizened nose? If so I would like to cast a vote for option 3.

[dragnar]

Alright, looks like 3 wins. New setting(still a magical academy though), similar magic. Post characters/starting spells now!

[Nivim]

Name: Croix
Description: Leirc, the most snobbish student wizard in the academy, had suddenly started acting strangely, and locked himself in his room for two days. When he came out he had torn apart all of his expensive clothing to make clothing with his own hands, and he demanded he be called Croix from now on. The intense change in his looks, personality, and even some memory, were enough to convince all who met him again to use the new name. Many also believed that his clothing was far better than Leirc could ever manage, even if mediocre.
Spells: Should we make it mandatory to post these here, like it ended up being before? (Predit.)
 ra|olg(roc)(tez)|tarc
 ag|mev(yek)|manl
Knows: tez. Semi-knows: roc, yek.

 Can I do research without the dais? Did the research I tried happen (even just the fiddly details)?

I'll send you the research results along with your new starting spells, so your other knowledge isn't totally useless. And no, you don't need the dias.
