Rhialto Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 @Legate of Mineta: Did the Team get back to you about my questions? They were: 1. Did Megsin Ashwood face legal punishment? could she have? 2. Why is there a strong association between mastery magic and sleep-walking while using magic? Was that a prank that Kazus students were known to do? 3. Speaking of pranks, have records of gates/mastery related pranks at Academagia been censored? 4. Are there any theoreticians of magic who speculate about how the pillars of magic are fundamentally artificial constructs by mages, with all or most pillars being linked to others and derived from the same Magical Source? If so, are such speculations ever used to argue for or against expanding the ban on gates/mastery? 5. Were there any mastery mages who used their skill with that pillar to rapidly and easily gain knowledge in other pillars of magic? To which I add another 2: 6. Can ghosts or spirits possess people or animals? is/was there a branch of gates magic that involved turning people into mediums/puppets for spirits, for various purposes? 7. imps are intelligent creatures who come from another universe, and were brought to Cyve by gates mages. Did gates mages explore the universe where imps originate? did they discover any other universes with intelligent life? Was there any effort to find such extra-universal life as allies against dragons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Rhi; Well, as a matter of fact! 1. Did Megsin Ashwood face legal punishment? could she have? She didn't. She absolutely could have, if word had ever officially gotten out at the time. 2. Why is there a strong association between mastery magic and sleep-walking while using magic? Was that a prank that Kazus students were known to do? That kind of thing was basically the quintessential Kazus prank: kids wandering around doing bizarre things without consciously realizing it. That said, Mastery mages who don't enjoy terrifyingly strong wills often find that [redacted]. 3. Speaking of pranks, have records of gates/mastery related pranks at Academagia been censored? [Redacted.] They say the Regent of Durand has thirteen volumes of secret journals, passed down through the ages, of illegal pranks and curses performed at the school and the most effective countermeasures- and it's certainly possible, but if it's true Professor Briardi has never been sloppy enough to let a student know. 4. Are there any theoreticians of magic who speculate about how the pillars of magic are fundamentally artificial constructs by mages, with all or most pillars being linked to others and derived from the same Magical Source? If so, are such speculations ever used to argue for or against expanding the ban on gates/mastery? Talk of "pillars of magic" only really came along late in the first century; it's not a phrase, or idea, that can clearly be traced back to the New Gods. The distinctions between the spells and phemes don't seem to be completely arbitrary, though; anti-Glamour wards, for example, do work more or less exclusively against magic formally recognized as "Glamour." 5. Were there any mastery mages who used their skill with that pillar to rapidly and easily gain knowledge in other pillars of magic? [Redacted] 6. Can ghosts or spirits possess people or animals? is/was there a branch of gates magic that involved turning people into mediums/puppets for spirits, for various purposes? [Redacted] 7. imps are intelligent creatures who come from another universe, and were brought to Cyve by gates mages. Did gates mages explore the universe where imps originate? did they discover any other universes with intelligent life? Was there any effort to find such extra-universal life as allies against dragons? [Redacted] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascartand Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Hey Hey Hey, long time since I was active here thus question time. Does Elumia have the same beauty standards of the Renaissance era? Or they have their own spin on things, considering being thin is a standard to some of the girls.

Rhialto Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Are there enchanted items that respond to voice commands? And would such voice-controlled enchantments be distinguished easily from artifacts animated through skillful gates magic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Ascartand; Based on the early Reformation, but with a definite spin.

Legate of Mineta Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Rhialto; Well, I'd look at the Students around you and see how they style themselves- there may also be a few Lores you could look at, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 1) How long is it tradition in Academagia that a 1st year have to both serve his/her 2nd year Mentor and a 5th year graduating student? 2) Do the 1st year actual have any way out if the mentor or graduating student task get to demanding or risky? (Just avoid them is no option here as both know where the 1st year is supposed to sleep) 3) Is the commanding around a 1st year junior also one of the things the team have on their to do list for the 5. year?

Legate of Mineta Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 S; 1) One year, typically, although mentors may last a lot longer than that. 2) Barring the socially unworkable going to the Regents, you'll have to stand up to them and/or suffer the consequences. 3) Yep.

Schwarzbart Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 1) You got me wrong I asked how many century Academagia already have the tradition that a 1st year both have to serve a 2nd year mentor and a 5th year graduating student?

freespace2dotcom Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 What would the magical significance be of a person being born with the ability to dream while awake whether they wanted to or not? Would Mastery magic be suspected? Would Mastery magic be the only way to keep this person from seeing other people as demons during a bad hallucination?

Legate of Mineta Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 S; 1) Oooooh. That's old, although I can't be sure if it was foundational. I'll ask. 2) They might be tested, but otherwise it would be a curiosity, magically speaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 1) Are all 1st year tasked in help a 5th year? 2) If so who select how many 1st year each 5th year get? There for sure many less 5th year then 1st year usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 S; 1) Not always, because of the reduced number of 5th years- but it is an 'honor', depending. 2) The Regents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Legate: 1. Has a student ever received a diploma posthumously? As in, they died as a student, but completed their studies in a timely manner as a ghost? 2. How long after death can it take ghosts to manifest?

Legate of Mineta Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Free; 1) That so cool, it should have happened. That said, I don't *think* so. 2) I'll ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
