Interest Check: Group Training in Alchemy/Sorcery

[Sage Bane]

Hey all,

I want us to get our Dominions of Gratos and Mayferria locked up first, but once they're finished, I'm planning on doing another group training thread, like the Alchemy one set at the Temple of Pain, in which Sage taught a beginner's lesson on how to make amulets.

I wanted to find out what you guys would rather learn. Here are some choices:

1. Sithspawning (Not for beginners, High Apprentice and above)
2. Incantations (Knight level or above). This would be stuff like Sutta Chwituskak, Odoijina, or Dwomutisiqsa

Open to your suggestions as well!

I think for a mass training to cover the largest group Incantations would probably be the best focus. It has been a popular choice as of late with new apprentices wanting to learn sorcery.

Sithspawning while still being brought up seems to be a smaller group. That being said no matter which you chose Vengeance will most likely be there.

One of Ferus's weakness is a lack of knowledge on spells. Most he knows is the spear of midnight, and only because it was used to kill one of his old bodies.

I'm down with learning the space magicz.

Oh, and Ferus can teach beginner alchemy. Metallurgy.

After i get the rp started where naga is freed and rejoins the sith i may have him stop by along with Vandra my Acolyte.

Naga might be able to throw out some pointers for the young as well as hone his skills at sorcery after being stuck in a prison for years [member="Sage Bane"]

Of course gratos must be finished before vandra can take part given shes apart of the dominion

It's always good for Greta to learn more skills, so she'll be there. Learning new stuff is always good. Adds new weapons to her arsenal. I would be there for either.

Unfortunately the Sorcery training would be for writers whose rank is Knight or above. Is this character a transfer from another board?

 

[Rapax]

[member="Sage Bane"] well ...was worth a try given he isnt.......lol..

 

[Sage Bane]

[member="Naga Itesak"]

No worries. I'm sure I'll be doing another Acolyte group training thread at some point.

 

[Darth Ferus]

[member="Sage Bane"]

I can do an acolyte training for alchemy, so you can focus on the knight one. I'll be making a thread shortly for it.

Very cool, dude

I have an idea for a familiar in my head, which I really want to get out there. (Not at all inspired by your own Hadzuka Rowa *cough*) So in light of this and further sithspawning, I would love to get in on some basics.

[member="Darth Ophidia"]

You mean the one we made? .p.

 

[Setzi Lunelle]

If this character is Knight status by then, I'd like to join [member="Sage Bane"]

 

[Darth Ophidia]

[member="Darth Ferus"]

Yeah, I may want to expand on the ritual of it. Or that's the idea I got when I asked Nyx about it. Then again, she might have been wrong.

 

[Darth Vaildra]

[member="Sage Bane"]

Well I could really use sithspawning, but count me in for anything!

 

[Sage Bane]

Seemed like people weren't leaning strongly one way or another, so I decided on Sith Sorcery.

Just remember, this class is Knight-level and above.

I think this is a great idea! Sorry for joining up a little late.

My only concern would be that some of these things are pretty powerful and advanced, as well as easily abused. For example, someone might walk in to a fight against a Jedi and use Odojinya right off the bat to pretty much win. This issue is mostly fixed by the "Knight rank and up" requirement, though. Just wanted to say that a couple of these are things we need to be sensitive of as writers

 

[Sage Bane]

Thanks for the concern. My feeling is: that these are canon powers that we can legitimately train in, and they add an interesting flavor to our characters beyond the idea of "winning" or "losing." Being able to RP out the casting of a Bolt of Hatred or a dark side web allows the writer a world of creativity that goes way beyond "I swing my lightsaber." I would hate to see us limiting ourselves as writers because some writers get godmodey.

I think it's safe to say that a well-trained Jedi of equal skill would be able to thwart an attack of Odojinya several different ways. And as always, the writer's victim could choose to take or not take damage from the spell however they see fit.

Just my two cents.

I very much understand where you're coming from on this, and like I said, I'm not trying to discourage you from doing this. It's a great idea, and generous of you to teach these classes. Just wanted to point out that some of these things are pretty powerful, and we just need to be careful as to how and how often we wield them.
