Sent you a PM, Esty. ^.^

I'll post some stuff tomorrow. Ended up having to deal with things on my server. Great posts though! <3

Obsidian: Wyverns

Only one thing makes me hesitate to jump into this ... I'm okay with character death, pretty much as long as it's not my character. I absolutely hate it, I cannot even express it, unless I specifically plan it. So ...

Nah, Jocasta can handle escape.... and honestly, even if she is involved in neither, she'll just walk out with the others in her usual way. :p I don't mind it either way.

Coven: Shattered

Jocasta can do one of two things, depending on what you want other characters to do - she can create a passage out from the building or carry our dear priestess. Also Castor and I have deemed our characters having been long ago childhood friends... so he hired her to help find the High Priestess' killers. Can we RP examining the bodies beforehand (Castor's idea) or some such? If not, I'm sure we can just RP them meeting and then going to the occult ceremony later.

Interesting discussions! Well, honestly, the scrying thing ... not a big deal to me, as it's a common thing in magical worlds. So I think the proposed limits that Schradinger came up with is 100% okay with me. Sounds as if he thought it through.

As a side note, Ichthys, if you want to PM me about Jocasta's role in all of this ... feel free to, because I can see her potentially being some sort of important chess piece on the board, no matter that she's only involved because she's being paid to guard some noble. Maybe you could help me pair her with one as well. I can see potential of the situation, but it's too late for me to think of anything out of the ordinary. Maybe even go so far as a prophecy? I dunno... I'm tired, lol. With that, g'night everyone!

Nvm! Discussion happened a lot more while I was gone. Lemme catch up.

@Ichthys: Similar effects makes sense. Though I imagine creating similar effect on the same level of power or efficiency (as in, having to speak, hand gestures, whatever as opposed to a swing of a sword) ... which is what would make the magic mythical or legendary or whatever. Unless that's too much of a leap? I didn't mean to say no one could enchant weapons to flames or create air that cuts, lol.

So the connection with her being a mercenary is okay or... do we really need to change that? I think it's important to her background, but she's easily installed into the area.

I don't remember mentioning only she can use it ... only that it's rare to use it, because it's not a well understood type of magic. During the conversation, you mentioned several times you need to understand how a certain type of magic works in order to use it effectively. So my reasoning why she can understand it easier is because of a genetic mutation that is carried down her (and some other) bloodlines and become activated seemingly randomly. Basically, it just wires your brain differently in a way so you can understand this type of magic. Yes, anyone is techincally capable, but it takes a certain way of thinking ... like yes, everyone can do mathematics physics, but certain people (like a genius) can more easily understand how to do it.

And... for the connection... I wasn't aware that was a requirement... but she is set up that she can easily start off anywhere. It's not a stretch to say she's be hired to guard one of the nobles maybe (who's not overtly evil, obviously).
