Legate of Mineta Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Schwarzbart; No, I meant in Y2 you can join contests of various sorts. For Familiars casting Spells, you *should* see more of that, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamweaver Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Will they need hands/mouths to perform magic or will my cat potentially be able to perform some minor tricks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 No, no need for hands/mouth. Even your fish can cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamweaver Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Awesome. About familiars, some events about them assume they can move around freely, but can the plant familiar do so as well? Does it uproot itself and travel about the academagia? A carnivorous plant skulking about the hallways at night does have a certain charm to it, I admit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freespace2dotcom Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Well, to me, (and I think to most) it would evoke Little Shop of Horrors But I could be wrong with that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7SkrYF8lCU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoshi Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Legaaaattteee.... You said pets can cast spells? Please imagine this scenario. Imagine a penguin. An innocent penguin who one day stubbles upon a tome of Ultimate Mastery. Now imagine that penguin gaining knowledge. Not just forbidden knowledge but how to think like a human! Imagine a supremely intelligent penguin! Now imagine this penguin not liking the way these hairless primates treating him. How they throw their garbage around and disturb this penguin's rest! Then one day the penguin decides : "Why not just build an army and conquer these humans?" So the penguin does just that. He starts with a colony of ants. Not easy but then he finds Mastering the queen allows him to command all the ants. And from those ants he teaches them basic spells to begin with and uses them to subvert other colonies and amass an army of ants. Using the ants, the penguin then masters other insects (and spiders, scorpions, millipedes and centipedes.) Then the penguin starts mastering larger animals. From the tiny hamsters to the bigger wolves. By now the penguin shouldn't be able to control all the animals so he starts spying on hidden records in the Academagia library using his minions allies. Then these animals would be sacrificed (for the greater evil good) so that the penguin may gain more power! By now powerful mages should be detecting his evil presences so the penguin starts training loyal lieutenants in the way of the Dark Side Mastery and instructs them to spread the aura far and wide. After months or years of preparation, the penguin attacks! Starting with the general populace. Slaves are captured, buildings turned into dens and humans forced to go down to the place known as the sea to capture all sorts of delicious fish! The mages would be gathered to mount the offensive but when your opponents are animals and insects that come in the billions do you think they would stand a chance? No. And in the end, all it took was One penguin to rule them all, One penguin to find them, One penguin to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. So ask yourself, do you feel safe? Well do you? Legate? By the way, notice my avatar! From yours truly, the Black and White Mage Leo and Shi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freespace2dotcom Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Well, I expect an enterprising young mage may find a way to gate such a penguin to one of the volcanoes in the land of Mordor, I mean, Monteon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoshi Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Young one. By the time you learn a powerful enough Gates spell to bind me, my army would have you screaming for mercy before you could even twitch. Horsehair worm bombardment anyone?

freespace2dotcom Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 There are... ways... of dealing with such a penguin. LEGATE! LEOSHI'S THREATENING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD AGAIN!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leoshi Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 *Holds up photos of Legate (Orsi or of Mineta) and Regent Briardi!* Hah! Watch yourself puny mageling or I shall send the super-moths to attack your clothes where ever you are! And to get this topic back on track. 1) Are mechanical servants available for purchase? How long does it take to build one? 2) The flying ships sail from isle to isle, but would it be possible to make them float higher (however slightly) than the isles and use them like a big transport vehicle?

freespace2dotcom Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 *Revises super moths to stone* 1 Yes, clockwork golems, no doubt, and a long while to build. 2. Yes, but in order to float above an island, it might not be able to carry a full load depending on the quality of the ship. *Puts up Negation shield* Bring it!

Leoshi Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 1) Clockwork golems but what of stone or wood golems? What of anima magicks? 2) Can't a mage just periodically lighten the ship? Freespace your wand has already been eaten by termites. And your backup wands have been taken by the squirrel division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 2) The wood used that make ships fly go only as high as it have grown as a tree and each extra weight beside this special wood drop the hight. Only using magic one can get you higher then this, except hot air balloons are already invented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 My fingers are enchanted to cast spells *Incants a ball of plasma and throws it at the insects and animals with the scatter pheme* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 2) Constructs are rarely made out of stone or wood these days, but in the past they were. In any event, constructs take a good long while to make, and are very expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 1) How much cost it usual to register a Gate magic item that was found within Mineta and is most likely also build there from the time before the ban? 2) Are hot air balloon in use for some special vehicles that have to go higher or more flexible in the flight height then the normal air ships?

freespace2dotcom Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 1. I strongly suspect the registry is closed. no new entries admitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoshi Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 1) Hot air balloons. Now why didn't I think of that.... 2) Please name a price. 3) When do we get to learn plasma balls? Also how did the people of Elumia discover plasma?! Freespace, can you truly destroy all these cute and cuddly creatures? Can you truly kill each and every one of my insect swarm? Do you have any idea how many insects are there in the entire world? Nope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 3. look up the wield plasma spell. Not trying to kill every single one, just clearing a path. *air* *expansion* *magic* *siren* A vortex opens up and swallows Leoshi! The other side appears to be filled with volcanoes.

Legate of Mineta Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 1) It is still possible to register Gates items, but the cost is tremendous. 2) Balloons are not normally used; they are more of a curiosity. 3) I'm sure Incantation wizards discovered plasma.

Leoshi Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Huh! So there is a Wield Plasma spell. Legate please tell the team I love their thought patterns! Freespace do you really think I would be so close for you to open a portal next to me? And do you really think a little lava is going to hurt me? You wouldn't forget to cast a protection charm on yourself either. *Gates* Hunter Killer Plants! Entangle the boy! Impish Treants! Amber him!

freespace2dotcom Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 The vortex closes, and cuts Leoshi off from his minions. *seal against mastery* With the minions unmastered and confused, all it takes is a threatening postion with the phemes for throw lightning to end the crisis... For now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
