Welcome to Gaia! ::

How long will his 'no magic' period last? And will it affect the horses?

You knew this was coming. so it's a long one.

1. Loss of All Divine and Magical abilities I will state again that I really don't like. at all. reasons are the following:

a. It hurts the Twilight lands (all characters therein) moreso than any other group in the RP.

b. there are other plots that can involve everyone (dimitri's children, for example) that can be made without stripping powers.

c. it puts most of the Twilight land characters out of general plot, due to the inevitable large scale uprising/rebellion that any creature with have a brain would attempt. also puts them all in mortal danger.

Now I know that last one is going to get the 'you don't have to rp that' response. but I do tend to keep cause and effect going. 50 beasts created adn breed for war, find that thier only means of being controled is gone, will enivably rise agaisnt thier former master. 150 slaves that have been used for death fights for the amusement of someone else and his guests will eneviatably seek to overthrow such a person once the means of control are gone. Orcs that find the only thing standing in thier way of an invasion will seek to invade when that blockade is removed.

This is probably something that would happen to the Purians as well. without the druidic power to protect them, I woudl imagine thier lands invaded as well.


The loss of potions, while I understand you wanted to limit meilikki's use...there are wasy to do it. simply eliminate potions that imbue 'magical' effects. like regeneration, vision effects, flight, levitation...things like that. potions used to help healing processes or as painkillers and such i think should still be allowed. a potion that makes an injury take 3 days to heal instead of four might be permissable lets say, but a potion that can make an injure heal in a minute is not.

just my thoughts at present.

how does this loss of magic/divine power affect creatures like Onyx or Bode, and that black ooze both of them secrete?

anways a quick question. I have touched base with holly on the subject but i wanted to clear something up so that I don't confuse myself later on.

Changing forms would contetute as magix I'm assuming? so my pups will stay in one form during this period??

And I assume that everything that is PREVIOUSLY enchanted prior to magic shutdown then becomes a well of sorts, be it a one time or recharging one, yes?

Noah: It will last as long as it takes for Piper to restore the five elements. So, it could be long (real life time wise, not rp time wise) or it could be short. I believe that Frac and I discussed the horses and agreed that they would be fine,because I do not want you to loose access to those characters. I'm not sure on much of the horses powers, but if you must use them, keep them limited.

Hopefully, it will not be too long.

Jason: Those aren't questions.

Sure there are other things I can do to include everyone, and I may or may not (or anyone else who wants to initiate plot, this is not exlusivly about me) play those out. but I'm not going to stop this plot because someone doesn't want conflict.

Besides, this is going to be fun. ^^

Loss of devine magic is essential for what I have in mind. Labyrinth, being a fragile planet, relies heavily on the magic of deities to keep it alive. Without godly influence, Lab will be thrown into a state of chaose that will effect everyone.

The Twilight landsa as I understand have strong physical fortifications. The land is also hostile outside of the grounds. Remeber that your apponents no longer have the magical assitance to attack you, as they have in some form or another in the past.

Chances are the Purians will be inialated. Leaf and Fin probably being the only survivors. (Because of their absense, not becease of some power they have)

Compromise: Any potion that may act as Real Life medication will be allowed. If you have knowledge of such things, (ie, medication you've taken in the past, vetrinarian experiance..whatever) please, use these to your advantage.

well my initial complaint is not that enemies attacking twilight from outside. yes, Twilight has some tough physical defenses. this is interior assault. those living in the fortress rising against those incharge of it. particuarly the gladiator slaves and the breaker population. however, after noting other things, I have found a comprimise. you mentioned that items of magical power might be used a 'wells' to power magic at the cost of the item retaining magical properties. ie a peice of armor that gives it's wearer a great deal of strength can lose that power in order to 'energize' a spell. so I move to comprimise that the collars, being made of enchanted metal, can be considered little wells. not able to porduce any kind of spell effects, they don't have the power, but enough power so that thier own effect of necksnapping/strangulation coudl be used a limited number of times/once only before losing it's 'power'

^^ I do believe that is well within the guidlines. Cudos, cause I enver thought of it.

The black ooze works on the principle of raw chaos, Onyx's and Bode's bodies are simpley taps to the demension that holds it in check. In my understanding, there is a god (or deity, whichever you prefer) for everthing. Technically, Kimmuriel is the god of Chaos. Without him, the tap is..lets say slowed to a trickle but can't be fully turned off.

Bode and Onyx will have access to the ooze, but there is little of it, and there effects are not near as grand as they once were.

For other creatures, you'll just have to use your best judjment. Remeber that if there is magic present, it is severely limited. And unless you know how to work magic, wells will be useless to you. I.e. Bode can use her ooze, but she couldn't open a well to heal herself because she is inexperianced with magic.

And my two cents on the horses.

Since the horses innate powers...aren't really magic...then it is safe to say that they will be fine. Zephyrs can still be wind, Nightmares can still have fire. They can change thier composition and shadow walk and such, but as with it all, very limited, makes them very tired.

And I give holly my Andalian horseshoes since those are indeed magic imbuned. Piper's gonna have a lot of angry people on her hands because of that. Mwaha.

Also, reguarding Sevilin since he uses energry and not magic for runes, me and Holly have already talked about him and yes he too is taking the fall under Holly's definition of magic, which we are going by. And yes, my definition is different form hers, but it's compromise. Thus he will have to abide by the well tap clause as well.

I also assume that anyone stepping on plane gets thier magic sap. IE if Kieran and Fianna pop up, they loose thier magics. I'm fine with that too.

One more thing. Moon elf eye light infusion technique. This stays, because this is not magic. This is a wholly physical thing with the gold flecks in thier eyes, not a magical power. Just in case anyone wanted to pick at that...think of it like drow infra/heat visions.

Well, with that I'm not certain. It might be the same as Frac's light thing with the elves eyes.

In your creation of the Kin, did you think 'magic' when they changed? Or did you think 'physical ability'?

All in all, I'd say they CAN change, but it makes them very tired to do so.

Pretty much. Just keep in mind that the wells can run dry.
