-=Magic=-


As Ristoth breathed his final breath he smiled knowing his last great gift to the world

Exert from the Divine Tales of Ristoth

Humans and Creatures use magic by tapping into their Soul Stones. While some creatures have the natural ability to tap into their own Soul Stones to produce magical effects. The Humanoid Races must make use of ancient relics in order to tap into their Soul Stones. The use of these Relics allows a Mage to tap into the Base element (I'll get to this) of magic that their Soul Stone is attuned to. Relics must be properly engraved into an item to allow for the casting of magic (more will follow). But in order to properly control Magic one must strengthen one's Soul Stone increasing their magical power as well as study and learn all they can about the magics of their element. But a Soul Stone only has a finite amount of energy and can be overloaded by magical power causing a backlash on the user if they try use a spell that requires more energy than their Soul Stone can produce. But this Soul Stone Power or "Mana" will replenish over time or after consuming special potions.







-=Races=-






-=Combat Rules=-


Combat will be separated into two parts Free Form and "Boss Battle" each having their own rules.

Free Form - A simple form of combat, The GM (in case it’s a side arc I don't control) will send out a mass of enemies each player will then have a go at taking them out. This section will be all on the participants and I will allow you to control both your character and the NPC enemies. You will be allowed to kill at will, but please remember you are not alone, if there are 10 enemies and 5 players, I don't want one person claiming 5 of the enemies. Colab posts are acceptable in this phase of combat, but please don't have the group waiting two weeks for one Colab post.



Boss Battle - The more advanced combat that will play out post to post. Boss battles will mainly be group fights or will be in place if a Player vs Player fight. It will be more turn based as in one player states its action then the next will post his reaction and counter/follow-up to the previous actions. During this type of combat there will be no auto hits or auto kills.



-=Character Sheets=-


Character Sheets are to be placed in the OOC until they are accepted then moved to the Characters Page.

Name: Self Explanatory
Race: Self Explanatory
Gender: Self Explanatory
Age: Self Explanatory
Appearance: Img or description (would prefer a little of both)
Bio: Your back story. Who are you? Where did you come from? (minimum of three paragraphs)
Personality quirks: One or two sentences that tell us a little about yourself.
Examples: I’m always polite and respectful. , I can stare down a hell hound without flinching.
Bonds: People you know. An NPC who can be brought into the story at a later point to help/hinder the group. At least 1, I would prefer 2 (1 Ally, 1 Rival) but can work with one.
Fighting Style: Your fighting style. Is it unique and named? or is it a basic Sword and Shield fighting style?
Equipment: What is the basic equipment you carry on your person
Skills/Abilities: Any special skills/talents you possess (Mages list magic types here)
Other Information: any special information about your character (must be approved by GM, so shoot me a pm and let’s talk)

Ending Stuff


If you have made it this far THANK YOU! I have put a lot of time and effort into writing this all out and I appreciate it if you took the time to read through all this mess. If you have any questions or feel I didn't explain something enough please feel free to ask. Again, Thank You.

@Arthanus

How commonly used is magic? Everyone has a soul stone, so anyone is capable of it, yes?

Would you need another soul stone to use an element that is foreign to your own?l

Does a soul stone that has been extracted from a dead creature regenerate over time, or is it eventually used up and "dead"?

@Gisk
1. In major cities magic would be common enough that its use is a staple of life. Yes everyone is capable of using magic, but if it's not trained or built up it remains relatively weak. So only those who actively work toward mastering magic can use it in a practical manner.

2. people are generally limited to their own element, although another element can be used with extreme training and focus. it is a rare thing to use another element using natural means, but through the use of Relics it is much easier and doable.

3. An extracted soul stone will never grow stronger, but will kinda function as a battery having a max limit that as long as it isn't fully depleted will recharge to that limit. Example You have a wand that allows you to shoot a firebolt, that wand's soulstone allows you to fire a maximum of 5 firebolts a day. as long as you don't use all 5 you can keep using it in this way as it recharges it's energy between firing, but it will never get stronger increasing the limit to 6.

Ah, but if you used that fifth fire bolt, the wand would be permanently depleted?

And such a wand could be used by anyone regardless of their own natural element, I take it? Or would it take training for an earth aligned person to use it?

@Gisk Yes the fifth shot would deplete it making it a cool looking toy. And relics such as wands draw upon the soulstone used to create them thus use the element of that soulestone but can be used by others regardless of their own soulstone.

@Borosev I just noticed you forgot something. Give the rules a quick readthrough.

I'm quite intrigued by this and am wondering if there's still room for another applicant ?

If so I'd like to ask what kind of beasts a beastman can be aligned with: Are it 'only' real-world animals such like cats, dogs, bears etc.. or do some of the more fantastical species of this setting come in question as well ?

What I had in mind for the beastmen were basically the Shifter race from DnD. Basically humanoids that take on characteristics of beasts. They could be normal things like wolves, cats, bears, birds ext or something more exotic if you would like. I'll try to find and like a free source that gives a little more detail to the shifter race but in the meantime yeah they can be something more monstrous.

@Fetzen

some info on shifters
