This thread is for Out Of Character [OOC] discussion about the game and for posting character and world-building information.

I will probably eventually put an organized glossary of Characters and other things in this post.

also is linking magic as Rubik described it, part of the setting?

here's a quote:

Here's one possible interpretation:

"Linking Magic" is a form of magic used by most practitioners of magic, and artifacts containing linking magic are sold in most major cities in Aet. Learning linking magic allows you to "Link" with anyone else who uses linking magic or with any artifact infused with linking magic.

When you "link" with another person, you gain the ability to transmit messages to one another. Unlike with speaking, however, the messages cannot convey tone and voice, only the words you wish to communicate.

A link can be rejected by the receiver and the maximum number of people in the link depends largely on how powerful the host of the link is at linking magic. Most wizards can only manage a 2-3 person link.

Artifacts can also be used for linking and often times wizards will seal their skill with linking magic into an artifact to prevent themselves from being susceptible to being overloaded with attempts to link. These artifacts can often be purchased in stores. These artifacts not only make it easier to link with a higher number of people, but they allow for links to transmit speech or images instead of just words, or allow the Linked parties to communicate in the Astral Nexus (allowing them to see one another during the conversation). While it's possible for powerful enough wizards to establish these greater links without an artifact, doing so is dangerous and could cause their minds to be trapped in the link or for their corporal body to be ambushed during a conversation.

I didn't think to mention this in the post but Gorika is carrying her bag on her shoulder presently in the RP, so I dunno if the guard typically troubles her over that

It is not a big bag

I'd say it is a bit bigger than I'd expect of purses in this world

She probably wouldn't much like being troubled so if that thing that lets you avoid being searched isn't too expensive, then Gorika probably has one

Question time. How extensive is the damage that red leaf does to it's users? Does it go past the physical? It seems like it does. If one's physical or spiritual life force were boosted significantly enough, would it make any non-superficial difference?

Seems like to me the answer is probably no

For those who only use it once or twice, it generally means losing a memory or two. Those who overuse the substance, however, find themselves losing cohesiveness, the ability to use certain words, body parts, and other vital things.


idk if that answers your question

The first few uses generally erase a memory or two rather than anything physical.

Eventually you start forgetting bigger things and losing physical parts of your body and the ability to do certain things. The extent of how much it can take from you are largely unknown because most people only use it a handful of times, or freak out when they find that they're missing a finger or that they've forgotten someone they've known their entire lives and swear off the stuff.

The damage it can do a can effect you spiritually and magically, but it can also enhance both of those things. Regardless, it's a bad idea if you have any interest in retaining your core identity.

And no, you can't just grow back your finger or restore your memories so easily. It's really dangerous stuff that is either used in an emergency as a power booster or by people who have nothing left to lose.

Yeah I didn't think your core identity could be preserved, but I wondered if it was at least possible to save his life

But, huh, so even the physical damage isn't something you can heal from.

he is fully healed, so there's no healing to be done

those parts of him are no longer a part of him
