RIGHTY, OOC UPDATES: #1: Goldeagle and my own IC post is almost done (it's actually already done, but the final touches cannot be completed until Gold gets back from his holiday in Finland) #2: Archetype has actually completed his sheet, woo. #3: Everyone remember to continue work on their sheets and IC posts. If you need assistance, remember to come to the discord chat (where the activity is really going on). [@Chapatrap]: It's alright, please remember to come on the discord though (The Discord is the real measure of our activity, not the OOC) ------------------------------------------------- [quote=@Lucidnonsense] Would a nation of flesh mages doing weird mind and body magic to create monsters be alright? Also do ALL Red Pantheon Gods frown upon necromancy? what about the God, rather than its followers, performing the actual spells? [/quote] Flesh mages if you mean modifying the body is fine, this is basically what homunculi are. Mental magic is considered one of the 'inherently ineffficient casting' magics alongside levitation, so is difficult for mortals to use it practically (Gods however can use it just fine). That is to say, while it is possible its usually restricted to highly experienced magic users and usually not used mid-battle or in a sustained manner due to the high usage of theurgia compared to the gain from it. All gods frown on necromancy with the exception of a single... certain god. To elaborate without revealing too much (I can reveal this much as it is public knowledge to the majority of players): The reason the gods do not allow necromancy is because it's basically against their interests in the extreme, basically being suicidal, so unless the Red God is either insane or suicidal (or retarded I suppose), they will not support it (and would not use it themselves as they have no reason to). That said, 'soft necromancy' as in just animating dead corpses is perfectly normal, its when you try to revive dead souls that becomes the cosmic 'don't do this' warning. (Also: Another thing to point out, even if your deity did support your use of necromancy due to being insane/suicidal/stupid, all the other gods would quickly hunt you down. Even the gods on your own side)
