Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

I'm imagining Aliara being in crippling pain from the psychomancy, but also loving her for it, because of the psychomancy.

Turn them into guards, that would be amazing.

I'm starting to wonder if Satori secretly controls the entire college. Certainly, if she wanted a student to like her, they would like her, end of story.

As I said, I'm a pacifist and would not be able to bring myself to hurt anyone, or knowingly help someone hurt anyone. Still, whatever works for you. Hopefully you can find suitable employment.

I personally would never consider a job in military in any aspect, though I guess that is just me being a pacifist. I just hope whatever you do works out.

Posted! Sorry. I have been very busy over the last few days with work and various distractions around the household. Managed to post now though and for a while now I should be able to post with relative impunity. Unfortunately I am no longer employed. On the plus side I will be able to post more when I am not busy sending out applications and attending interviews. Hopefully (for the sake of my waller) it won't be for too long though.

Hopefully so. What would you want to do, employment wise?

No idea, perhaps people are just busy? I know it is pretty common for everyone to go silent over the weekend.

More or less pretty much but sadly, psychomancy is not my blood and not sure what Lucius has I store for you. Not to forget Elite, while your magic is less combat tied compared to others, Ssarak will still be expected to fight as mission both provide a revenue to the school and help build magic through practice.

Indeed. He is still a warrior by trade, and his magic does have some combat applications. Still, if he had the choice on a mission to start a fight with a group of bandits (or something), or manipulate the mind of their leader to make them surrender (once he is more experienced, of course), he would chose the latter. Who knows, there are all kinds of situations I could imagine where manipulation and trickery could provide alternatives to fighting. It would all depend on the nature of the mission. I think that goes along well with Ssarak's theme of being a regretful warrior. For the moment, though, he keeps himself well practiced and in shape, as his best means of defense is through his fighting skill.

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

"When one lives in the wilds, they should always be prepared for a fight." Meesei said as they left the camp, heading toward the body of the lycan. "But, if you asking me if I think it is more likely than not that we will get into a fight at this very moment, then no, it is not. You will end up in a fight eventually, however, and it is my responsibility to ensure your safety, and to train you in ways of contributing to the pack. Your individual skills will be trained by the others, Janius for your sword and shield technique, Ahnasha for archery, and so on. If it turns out that you are a lot more skilled than your youth would suggest, that may not be necessary, but in any case, I will handle the training of your most important skill: your beast blood. Starting tomorrow, I will be training you in how to maintain control, and how to move and fight in your werewolf form. You turned very recently, so the beast is resting within you right now, but it will eventually grow restless once more. When that happens, it will start influencing you, gnawing at your mind to hunt and kill until it eventually takes over and unleashes itself once more. If this were to happen inside a city, you would undoubtedly perish. No matter how strong your wolf form is, if you do not know how to fight in it effectively, even simple guards could slaughter you."

Meesei stopped, sniffing the air for a moment. She had Fendros' scent, so she would just need to find it again on his belongings. Given how badly he was wounded, he probably bled the entire time until he transformed, so it would not be difficult to follow that trail once they found it. "For me, I am a mage, and an experienced one. I was the Shaman for my village in Black Marsh before I gave myself to Hircine. I have studied magic from the day I hatched, and those skills were sufficient to attract the attention of a Daedric Lord. Still, even the strongest of us cannot delay forever in taking on our wolf forms. We must sate the hunger of our beast spirits from time to time. Not that any of us are reluctant to do so, of course." She said, continuing on.

The choice is yours. Just let it be known you might be waiting a while and the next skip is to winter which would put Cynn's magic level behind everyone else's a bit. This might limit her ability a bit for the hell planned. Another note is that it takes about 3 total IC years, including time skips, to advance a level at least. So knowing this and you still want to do this, then by all means I have no problem with it. Not to forget the setting would also skip towards the evening of that day where it might be harder for Cynn to actually get into the school because gates tend to be closed unless you write it she arrived that morning and just finished settling in.

Hmm, so our characters are looking at almost a decade of study. I am looking forward to seeing the growth of Ssarak's abilities. Psychomancy is probably the most mysterious mageblood (seriously, its description is, like, a paragraph long).

You know, thinking about it, I think psychomancy is a perfect fit for me. I don't particularly enjoy writing combat, and, eventually at least, psychomancy will provide me ways to settle situations without ever having to fight, whether it be forceful mental manipulation, or skillful persuasion with magical aid.
