Welcome to Gaia! ::

Class activities:

This class covers the basic functions of magic, acceptable usages of magic and will be taught primarily to Juniors, but Seniors can also take it if they don't wish to take one of the specialized magic courses.

Completion of this class grants the student an additional 5 buff they can apply to casting magics.

JUNIOR & SENIOR:



Starts: March 1st
Ends: April 1st



Rules:

1. Without learning specific spells, this lesson will be just to practise this general artform.
2. Roll a single 100 sided die to see what form your character's Aether practise takes.
-- 1 to 20: Energy Enhancement--by gathering energy, you feel a temporarily increase in your strength, durability, speed, or the awareness of your senses. The side-effects can include increased appetite, fatigue, headaches, and disorientation. You can sense that this energy will likely burn through you and leave you enervated. Take caution!
-- 21 to 40: Silent Speech--you find your focus rest in your mind, your thoughts opening up. You become aware of other thoughts in the room: you fellow students! Can you connect with any of them? Once the connection is made, two individuals (or more if skilled enough) can communicate with thoughts and emotions through telepathy.
-- 41 to 60: Tongues--by tapping into the energy of the world, you open up channels of communication. Suddenly foreign species seem to be speaking in a way you can finally understand. What do you hear? Familiars, plants, or perhaps the voices of the dead? If you are a Medium, this art will come as easily to you as breathing.
-- 61 to 80: Telekinesis--you use the energy you've gathered as a force to grasp and move matter with your will. The weight and size of the object is directly proportionate to the difficulty of manipulating it. Can you push, pull, lift or throw your chosen object? Targets with their own innate motion are more challenging to overpower and manipulate than stationary ones.
-- 81 to 100: Libation--you take your time, and eventually you manage to build up a rapport with the gods. By offering your energy to the Nine, you feel their benevolence towards you. Just think, if you were to make specific offerings to one of the gods in particular, you might even be able to receive a gift or blessing in return!
3. You cannot fail this class, but you may re-roll to try different effects.
4. Please update your post with your role play response of how your character finds the exercise, whether or not they were successful.
5. Have fun with learning to cast magic! This will apply to the eventual magic system we will be rolling out.

This was a class that Zalir had been looking forward to many, many years now--their first class in magic. This was the gateway to studying alchemy in the future. Zey arrived at the class fifteen minutes early, taking a seat near the front. When class started, zey took extensive notes in zeir notebook. After such a long wait, the class was rather anticlimactic--basic things that zey had already learned. But that wasn't the point--the point was little things that zey might not have learned, and, more importantly, it fulfilled a requirement that allowed zem to take a more advanced class later.

Zey completed zeir assignment quickly and thoroughly, and was amongst the first to turn it in.

Magic always fascinated Morin and he would love to study more about it if Music didn’t take up such a part of his life. So since he needed an elective slot filled it was only natural that he started out with a more basic magic class before going off to try some of the others. He quietly listened and made notes because you never knew when the teacher was going to suddenly throw a quiz at you in the middle of the quarter so it was easy to use his notes to finish up the quiz. After writing all the answers he quickly turned the quiz up front to the teacher before getting ready for his next class.

Neptune supposed that he should probably take a basic magic class... Maybe he had a talent there he hadn't seen? Yeah right........ Still, it would be nice to learn the basics, anyway. Maybe if he seemed to favor something he could continue with it into University if he ended up going...

He sighed partially in relief, but also in minor dread when he was told they had to define the terms of the day for their homework... This was going to be difficult...Dutifully, he opened up his textbook and searched for the terms to write down...

You all passed~!

You Passed~

An item they use every day that uses magic? Lior's entire life seemed to revolve around magical devices, this was definitely not a challenge. He waited until the teacher stated his name, which was the signal for him to speak. he then held up his crystal scanner - which was connected to a crystal earpiece that was settled into one of his ears. "This is my reader- I think it's an enchanted device? It reads the pages for me when I slide it over words, and then the earpiece tells me what it says. It's a lot more useful than just hoping everyone has braille...." He nodded a little, smiling a bit. "Just this device makes my quality of life a lot higher."
