Dormuul Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 3) Not sure what you mean with Rogue Mages but there are Mages who got on the bad side of the law as you can see if you play some adventures. 7) I Suspect you can do this with strong enough Astrology but I'm sure it still would seen as Gate Magic by others (Just have a look at the girl in a Adventure that crosed the line betwean Glamour and Mastery) 3. The usual mad cackling mages who do this and that. 7. Can you specify the adventure please I really want to see this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 3 Probably Ragnarog or how this former Legate of Academagia is called fall into this categroy, but to me Illaro falls more into the category Rogue Mage ^^. 7 I think it was The Cave a Hedi College adventure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dormuul Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Thanks for answering so quickly Yay for 10th post! Additional question 1. Since any pointy things could be used as a wand, does anyone have used this advantage and integrate it into a fighting style? 2. What is Grand Summoning? I know its an ability you acquired during The House in the bog adventure what I want to know is what are they doing? 3. If a wizard replace his/her familiar, does the old familiar retain knowledge that the wizard taught? And what about the bond ? Does it reset back to zero again?

Legate of Mineta Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Leoshi and/or Adrian; Girars, as well as other Students that have a special diet, can receive prepared meals in the Great Hall which conform to their diet. Dormuul; Pims are not enchanted. By default. Negating fate seems like a really bad idea, but, in theory? It should be possible. Casting Spells and combat are integrated, definitely. Some mages have even been known to cast with swords, although it requires a high degree of training and skill. The previous Familiar does retain the knowledge, and the Bond is severed. It's not zero; it's null. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freespace2dotcom Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 1. How long do items incanted out of nothing last? Can a person prepare an enchantment on it to last longer? 2. Given an understandable fear of being ripped off, would a merchant generally accept coinage that, while legit, had some obvious enchantment of some sort on them? 3. So, here's something that bothers me with a lot of scenarios I've seen. I would guess that with revision, it would be possible to allow yourself or other things to pass through objects such as a wall or a rock that someone throws at you etc, but if you are completely transparent, gravity should then suck you under the ground. Can you enlighten us as how this sort of thing would work in this setting, Legate? 4. Also, are ghosts and spirit's visual forms much like they were in life, or do they look more like a legless "genie"? Am I making sense here? 5. Understanding the reasons behind the banning of Gates, with the power of the caster being largely irrelevant to the potential damage, it seems logical that in the pre-ban era numerous precautions must have been taken to mitigate the risk as much as possible. So, on a related topic, What sort of precautions are generally taken when a powerful incanter experiments with powerful phemes and spells? 6. I remember reading somewhere that although the horizontal limits of the maelstrom is unknown, the vertical limits are well known. Are there any people that skirt those limits for research purposes? 7. Are all the islands level with each other? By that I mean are their edges' ground level at the same elevation with each other or do they differ in elevation? 8. What level of knowledge do the educated people (mages) have on breathable air? Is it modern knowledge levels, or just that they know that stale air should be recirculated, even if they don't know why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 1) it depends on the Magic and the Mage so there is no sure Answear because they even can hold decades if a powerfull mage do them. 7) Defentiv No (you know when you Have played the Main Adventure on Orso Side) Sorry for the other Quest you have to wait for Legate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Freespace; For your questions: 2. Given an understandable fear of being ripped off, would a merchant generally accept coinage that, while legit, had some obvious enchantment of some sort on them? No. 3. So, here's something that bothers me with a lot of scenarios I've seen. I would guess that with revision, it would be possible to allow yourself or other things to pass through objects such as a wall or a rock that someone throws at you etc, but if you are completely transparent, gravity should then suck you under the ground. Can you enlighten us as how this sort of thing would work in this setting, Legate? Sure, what you describe is possible. However, the missing element in our analogy is *what* you Revise. You might, for instance, Revise yourself to be incorporeal...but leave unchanged your property of mass (which gravity acts on.) Levitation, in Revision, is precisely centered around Revising your mass to be as close to 0 as possible, to use real-world terms. 4. Also, are ghosts and spirit's visual forms much like they were in life, or do they look more like a legless "genie"? Am I making sense here? You are, and it depends on the spirit what form they take. 5. Understanding the reasons behind the banning of Gates, with the power of the caster being largely irrelevant to the potential damage, it seems logical that in the pre-ban era numerous precautions must have been taken to mitigate the risk as much as possible. So, on a related topic, What sort of precautions are generally taken when a powerful incanter experiments with powerful phemes and spells? Generally, unless you are out in the wilderness, you would perform these kinds of tests with the help of a Negater, or at least in an enchanted testing area. 6. I remember reading somewhere that although the horizontal limits of the maelstrom is unknown, the vertical limits are well known. Are there any people that skirt those limits for research purposes? For research purposes? Yes, a few, although the fact that sometimes they don't come back does put a damper on enthusiasm. 8. What level of knowledge do the educated people (mages) have on breathable air? Is it modern knowledge levels, or just that they know that stale air should be recirculated, even if they don't know why? There is no significant knowledge about the need for circulation, apart from practical knowledge mostly limited to miners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoshi Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Leoshi and/or Adrian; Psst, Adrian! I think the legate is on to us! Hurry up with that prank already! Anyway, am I right to think that the results for examinations are given to the students a few hours after the exams? Or do the professor's need a week because of various paperworks that need to be filled out first? Any word on which of the professor's are married or currently dating? And one more! Are there any ghost / horror stories told around the school? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Leoshi; I believe they need a week, although of course in-game you get the results right away. No word yet on marriage/dating. I think they are trying to decide how much you would know that's not shown via Events or Adventures. There are many, many ghost and horror stories told around campus. You have already experienced some of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoshi Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Already experienced them? *Thinking* Awesome Community Event 07 or maybe the Demon Doll... Can I Persuade you to tell everyone here just one horror story? And yeah... How much we would know that's not shown via Events or Adventures... *Cough* *Gossip* Hey everybody, did you hear about a certain regent dating a certai... *Choke* *Dragged away* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Leoshi; Haha! Alright, I'll ask the Team, see if they come up with anything. The Secret Project , demands a lot though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoshi Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 No no no no! Just finish The Secret Project TM first. Before I get turned into a big target for delaying the next DLC.

Schwarzbart Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Are there Music Instruments in Academagia that have no equivalent in the Real live? Oh and I'm not asking about instruments that are just of different material or have some Enchantments on them but otherwise are the same as a earth music instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Schwarzbart; Not in construction, no. Several instruments, especially those enchanted with Glamours, can sound unlike anything earthly, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Considering that creatures summoned through gates can be controlled do gate practitioners then use a branch of mastery too or is it a different approach altogether? I believe it may have been answered but: Can mastery magic be detected? I know you can determine if you've cast it (examining the caster) but if my friend Tom stood before me 30 years from now when I've become a master magician, will I be able to tell if he has been put under a spell? (Through magic knowledge and not the fact that he is a drooling zombie) In a related question, if faced with a monster under a charm, can you then tell who the charm belongs to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Adrian; You can use Mastery, yes, but Gates practitioners typically use conditions or Geasa to control the entities they summon. Mastery magic can be detected, yes. You can tell to whom a Spell belongs, yes. It's much easier if it is recently cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 How would it be detected (gaese or mastery that is)? Some sort of tingling feeling or through a spell? (And if spell, which spell-line? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Adrian; How you would detect it depends, but it's most often done via Negation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Can a person who cast master on Test_dummy_A01 use the dummy's spells and such? Even if the master doesn't know how to cast it him/herself? - I know you can in the game but that may have been a side effect. Negation seems to be the most versatile spell-group (perhaps not counting mastery's side effects). I wonder, will it become relatively harder to master than the other spell lines as we learn more? Do pirates usually hire mage-help when raiding stuff? - I am thinking of the ones going up against a school of mages-in-learning. The children might not be so dangerous (or maybe just to themselves) but the teachers are a whole different level. Also, considering the powerbase that the Academagia is, harming or killing a student seems likely to have a huge bounty raised on the guilty parts head(s)...

Legate of Mineta Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Adrian; Yes, you can use their Spells and Abilities without knowing how to use them yourself. All of the Pillars are fairly versatile, but Negation can do a great many things. I definitely wouldn't say that it is the *most* versatile, however. Pirates (anyone, for that matter) will try to hire Mages if they can. As you know, Magic is a very potent force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoshi Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Potent until someone creates a charm that negates all forms of magic in a large radius around you. Powered by the souls of lost puppies and kittens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
