"Fuck yeah! Music is great!" Keegan exclaims in enthusiasm. He rushes up the stairs, motioning Rina to follow. "Let's go!"

Rina laughed and followed Keegan, but at a much more relaxed pace.

Delilah looked her over and then smiled, recalling a file that she had read, "Oh, you must be Meruin. It's the asthma right? You must be trying to get to the nurse's office. It's on the fourth floor though, do you need to to carry you?" She offered, this was totally normal for her, which is kinda weird in it's own way.

"Actually *pant* I was looking for *pant* my dorm, but," Meruin took a deep breath, "the nurse office sounds good *wheeze* - and please *pant* do. I don't think I can *wheeze* stand as of now." She couldn't even feel her toes.

Delilah sighed as she leaned back in her seat, she needed a soda. Standing she shrugged off her lab coat and hung it on the rack next to the door. She wiggled her wings a bit and then started walked through the halls towards the vending machine. Walking down a couple flights of stairs she got to the first floor where she came across a girl who was obviously struggling. She didn't recognize the girl so she reasoned she must be another newbie!She walked over ad asked, "Hey, are you okay hun?"

Meruin gave a fleeting glance at Delilah, and took a moment to gasp for breath before answering. "Don't *pant* worry about *pant* me. This is normal, it will *pant* pa-a-a-s-s-s-s," was all she managed to get out before slumping into the ground. "On second *pant* thought, I may be more *pant* tired than I *pant* thought."

Ah, very well. Magestrava are magical jacks-of-all-trades, whereas the Sepcarim (and Ouramancers, I suppose) are specialized and limited. While I'm thinking about it, is there another type of magic that Ouramancers learn, or are they pretty much stuck with what they've got?

Sorry. Stuck with what they got :) Oh, they can learn other stuff, but at best, whatever they learn can be done by kids . . .

Odd. What stops a Magestrava from crafting a bond like that? What if they wish to live as a Shaman, and they want to "trick" Nature, as you say? If it's all the same energy, why can't the Magestrava use Karma in the same fashion, without using the other energies? In fact, why can't Magestrava perform the abilities of of the Sepcarim, if it's all the same energy?

Sepcarim are simply born with more. More control, more tolerance, more sensitivity, etc. when it comes to using these energies. They were born with bodies that were crafted through chance that can specifically handle their abilities.

In theory, a Magestrava can do what a Monk and Syker can, but again, only superficially. It will take more than a miracle to reach what they can do with ease. As for Shamans, they are more sensitive to the movement of Nature - their perception of it is largely different from everyone else's, be they Magestrava or not. They can see and interact with it on it's basest form, which is a gigantic living organism. Basically, they can see the Circle of Life and ride on it.

Mm, my idea for Ouramancers is that if a bloodline that has gained such abilities continues to practice the mysticism they originated from, every child in that line who would have been a general Magestrava become Ouramancers instead. So, they are much rarer than the general populace, but the numbers are altogether more predictable, as there are only a few families in each area who boast such power (maybe magic, specifically Ouramancy, is more common among these families, as well?).:) As for your character background, do you think you might be able to blend it with mine a little? After all, my character's family is one of the few in Lismos with the "gift", as it were, and yours (she? he?) would have to have observed it in action somewhere, right? What if they knew each other before being enrolled in the Academy? I always like it when characters have pre-established rapport.Reasonable, except that Magestrava are specifically noted as being able to control the forces of nature quite well, seemingly without repercussions beyond the problems with overuse of Karma... Maybe that's what makes them so badass? Because they have access to all three forms of energy, Outsorcerors can just flip Mother Nature the bird and throw as many fireballs and lightning bolts as they want. Hmm.As for the actions of humans, I've honestly never heard any inquiries of that sort. From my experience, it's , and its progenitor, agriculture that are considered unnatural. Humans, after all, are just animals. It is when we tame the planet, for our own selfish needs that the nature spirits would probably get pissed.

Aah, wait, I see what you're going on about. Yeah, it's easy to see why you're confused about the Shamans.

Koma's got most of it down, to be honest, but if I were to elaborate further: A Magestrava can indeed use the elements to their will, but in comparison to Shamans, you can call what Magestravi do as a second-hand imitation. When a Magestrava uses Karma to create an element, he is in a sense, fooling 'Nature' (plural 'N' as this signifies that it is a collective consciousness of the land) into thinking that this is natural. However, Mother Nature will eventually catch on. This happens when you begin to overuse Karma. It alerts Nature that something is wrong, and the immediate response is this: what you're doing is unnatural, so Nature is going to make it so that it is natural, i.e; they are going to make you a part of nature, usually into whatever element in particular you were abusing.

Shamans, on the other hand, don't have to fear this happening to them, as they have a direct contact with Nature which can be cut by either party at any time.

Does magic run through bloodlines? For example, could my Ouramancer come from a line of such Magestrava, with the talent skipping generations every so often?Is it more metaphysical than that?

Magic is more of a mutation in the normal populace, while Ouramancers need bloodline and history to be born with the talent - but yes, they can come from a line of Magestrava, so long as there is indeed Ouramancer blood somewhere there.
