Legate of Mineta Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 It would apply to any/all of these. Whether or not components have any value in these categories is something else entirely... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 [Redacted], Got it. Have canned foods been invented? Probably not, but what about the concept of keeping things airtight to reduce spoilage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freespace2dotcom Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Is there a barter economy, and will we be allowed to trade for things, or will we be forced to use pims always? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Freespace; There is a strong barter economy, and hopefully it will appear in the future. Not in Year 2, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoshi Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Rest assured Mikka I was just having some fun. Besides, I can't let the Aranaz kids claim everything now can't I? If Professor Briardi and Professor von Rupprecht were locked in a duel, who would be the winner? Is it down to their skills or are they evenly matched? My money is on Briardi.

Legate of Mineta Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Leoshi; Who knows? I am sure both think they would win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoshi Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 But then is it possible for the two professors to be so good that they could cast spells by gestures alone? Or do you have to be as powerful as Orsi? I'm foreseeing a time when mages were so powerful that they could cast spells just by sneezing. Or is that too much to ask for?

Mikka Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 /cough Besides the duel geas, are there any other common used geas that 'everyone' would be aware of in some way? Oh, and any information yet about how the Student Council is organized? How many students sit upon it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 1. Have there ever been (due to some crazy circumstance) duels between a student a professor? I figure that would almost be unheard of, but if a student were to challenge a professor, what would happen? 2.

Legate of Mineta Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Mikka; On campus, the Duel Geasa is probably the best known. Maybe a Contract Geas? No information yet on Student Council! Freespace; 1. Have there ever been (due to some crazy circumstance) duels between a student a professor? I figure that would almost be unheard of, but if a student were to challenge a professor, what would happen? Sure! As to what would happen...that depends on the Student and the Professor. 2.

freespace2dotcom Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I understand that Y2 might not even come out this year, but do you think you could give us an idea when you think it'll be cool to let us in on all the features of Y2 you're keeping secret?

Legate of Mineta Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Freespace; Hahaha! When you play the game for the first time, of course. Some features we'll be talking about, but I suspect a good many we'll let you uncover for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Can Duel be aranged to make sure someone keep Silent about a Secret that would be bad if it got public? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Schwarzbart; Yes, definitely. I'm not entirely sure if this kind of functionality will be in Year 2, but it would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Well it looks like I've got a long journey ahead of me.... I'm making a time machine. I'll just hop 10 years into the future, and then pickup all the years in one go.. Hopefully I'll be back sometime next week. I expect an intergalactic war with sentient alien machines to stall me, but once I'm back I'll let you all know how that turns out. As for the future years... Well, if the Legate won't talk then neither will I! *evil laughter* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 When casting spells you usually: Make border (which summons palette), draw phemes inside the palette for the basic spell, draw additional phemes (for extra uumph!) aaaand cast. Sooo... now that the basics of spellcasting is down to a matter of practice, what about an incantation/chant: Any mystical words? The name of the spell perhaps? The name of the phemes? The nice gurgling sound when people get strangled? The shopping list? Something else? Actually a bit interested in how you 'cast' a spell too, but I understand if you let that one slide Any political volatile areas in the south near Oursouk? (Sorry I didn't get around to finding where the two Brothers have home, so I may be repeating the question) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Adrian; Medinei is actually very near Oursouk, so that probably answers that question! No words are necessary to 'cast' a Spell, but Spell-Songs are an exception to this rule- but then, their Palettes and Phemes are formed in remarkably different ways as well.

Schwarzbart Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Wow Spellsongs, thats why one of the Colleges have Music as theyr Class in year 1. Is there a School/Academy that complet focus on this kind of magic? Edit: Will there be a way that the player chars can go to other magic Schools in later years (beside the 2 we curent can visit during "free time") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 But are there usually no words accompanied with the casting of a spell? I just assumed since enspell has Diction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoshi Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 On the subject of spells. In a duel, lets say between Adrian of Aranaz and Andrew of Durand. Adrian was drawing the phemes for Fidelia's Slowing Spell and Andrew rushes up to him and messes the spell by maybe drawing counter phemes or just destroying the border all together thereby preventing the conquest of the evil CremePudding and saving the entire population of Cyve from an eternity of having to obey the crazed wishes of a overlord who will punish you by making do stuffs you hate like.... Sorry. I lost myself there. In short, can you break an opponents spell like this? And if so is there anyway to keep the progress so that you can continue the spell? I'm so sorry if this has already been said, but I just made a short story involving three of the forum members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Schwarzbart; Yes, there are going to be a few other extra curricular academies you can attend. The most famous school for Song magic is the Vihuela school, which some may have taken as a Background. Adrian; Oh no, somewhat the reverse- words very often accompany Spells, but they are not necessary. However, almost all mages use them as you can use your voice as a tool to help you create borders and draw your Phemes, if you set it up correctly. Leoshi; You can, yes. It's bad form in a Duel, of course, but you can do it with your wand. There are magics you can use to disrupt your opponent's Palette, if you don't want to run up there, too, but you haven't learned those yet.
