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.

well, I'm fine with things like making other societies that don't give a shit about this stuff and have similar levels of power

it does not have to be anything like that idea with the neutral faction, either

the privileges that come with recognition, if any, are probably not actually enforced anyway, though

it would probably be up to each place to decide how they treat them

like, if a country wants to enforce privileges within it's borders that would be up to them

I'm not sure I like the idea of making the test a competition, especially since in that case you're not tested for anything more than being able to win against others in practice, and probably in a setting with artificial rules

I am fine with some sort of authority that judges people's magical powers and assigns them a rank. In fact i expect there to be multiple such authorities.

sounds cool

like I can imagine a magician being able to say that they got this rank from one authority and this other rank from another and yet another rank from yet another and blah blah

this almost feels like collecting badges in Pokemon

collecting things is cool

It's not a definition most people use for archmages, but I like the interpretation that archmages are just skilled mages with the ability to cast magic from any field of magic. I'm fine if we don't use that definition, I am just fond of it conceptually because it makes archmages a sort of magical jack of all trades.

I imagine there are multiple certification bodies of varying reputation.

it might be a good idea to determine whether our town that we are RPing in currently is part of a country or listens to any particular kind of other authority or what

I am fine with it if you want to use that as the definition for archmage Rubik, in that case the master level that I thought of can be called something else, I mean, it could even just be called something like "star rank" or whatever

and that level is just according to one authority, anyway, I'm sure there are others

wonder what magic authorities our town here might listen to

Gorika's speed being matched only by a handful on Rea is probably only when you're looking at those who move by using the velocity of their body as it remains just as solid as it originally was

like there are probably at least several, maybe even more than 20 users of light magic out there who progressed to the point where they can temporarily or semi-permanently become light or similar to light, and move at or near the speed of light

those that use teleportation, and also Location magic, are also notable cases where people get places faster than her, since they may take no time at all

Time magic can probably do crazy things too

all in all Gorika's speed doesn't mean as much as it seemed like it would

but it still means a lot I think

at the core of it, Gorika's greatest magic deals with managing and increasing kinetic energy, and with a bit of creativity, that can be used for all sorts of cool things

here is a story i like about someone who runs fast http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/nickelodeon_ch23#1

there is a magic school in the town and i imagine it is the biggest magical authority in the town and it might answer to some university in a bigger nearby city

The new character I was going to make is actually supposed to be the 50-year old headmaster of the magic school in the town, and also a master level magician (according to some authority) who specializes in earth/ground magic

They would be able to do a very wide variety of things that relate to the ground and the element of earth

They are also very eccentric and ordinarily would not be allowed to become the headmaster because people look down on them for how they spent much of their youth using magic to dig holes and make things out of dirt and just ended up smelling bad and missing class all the time and not being productive in general

they even made golems out of shit sometimes, which falls under the domain of their magic IMO

but nobody looks down on their magic ability (at this point, that is), and it is undeniable that their perspective on magic would be valuable to students of magic, so they were allowed to become headmaster anyway

they ended up changing the way the school runs in crazy ways which I didn't decide yet

they would probably have to be eccentric to want to become the headmaster of a school in Torka instead of going elsewhere, anyway, considering the level of their ability and how they had no interpersonal connections keeping them in Torka and how they can move through the ground without digging holes in order to get places very fast anyway

I did not decide how fast they can move through the ground but it is very fast

maybe not as fast as Gorika, maybe faster, no clue
