Title: Ways of Magic
Post by: Kendrick on February 17, 2002, 01:59:02 am: i remember from the old boards that the magic system is like\"The Azure Way, The Red Way ect...\"

What are the Ways, and what do they do?

Post by: Kendaro on February 17, 2002, 02:07:05 am: The Kendaro knows of 6 ways. 4 elemental ways and 2 more one light and the other dark. The Kendaro cannot say much more of these things or Talad would be quite angry. But soon there should be a scroll released on how to use these ways. The Kendaro doesn\'t know all the details of when though so don\'t ask.

(OOC: I\'d love to say more but it should be covered later in the player\'s guide. I\'m settings and that stuff falls under rules so not much I can say sorry.)

Post by: Dwinney on February 17, 2002, 08:15:49 am: The Four Elemental Ways are the ones Lemurs can specialize in. Lets hazard a guess:
Fire
Water
Thunder(?)
Earth(?)

So there\'s also a Light Way and a Dark Way? Sounds great , I\'ll like to master the Light Way :D
Title:
Post by: Montenegro on February 17, 2002, 08:24:19 am: Probably like you said, but Air not Thunder...

Fire, Water, Air, Earth --- the old greek elements. Course, it could be fire, cold, lightning, earth. or perhaps, forces, mind, life, matter anywhoo....
Title:
Post by: ninkwi njadro on February 17, 2002, 01:36:06 pm: cold?? not likely

I think they will be fire, water, air, earth, light and dark
but is this only in magic?? caus ei am not gonna learn magic but just swordfighting. but ia wanna be an evil(dark) character
Title:
Post by: Dwinney on February 18, 2002, 07:13:31 pm: Hmm...I think I\'ll major in the Way Of Light and maybe a little fighting.

Hmmm, the Kendaor thinks someone has yet to read of the many races.....
Title:
Post by: Kendaro on February 19, 2002, 12:11:37 am: well how wierd is that? the Kendaro replies and the reply is moved ahead of the statement the Kendaro was replying to.......

Post by: Dumb Woob on February 19, 2002, 03:47:54 am: uhh..something whacky is going on... at all the posts i look at i am magically moved to the bottom...
Title:
Post by: Dumb Woob on February 19, 2002, 03:49:38 am: btw kendaro does that mean there will be mana points or not, your whacky rpg talk confuses stupid people like me...
Title:
Post by: Dwinney on February 19, 2002, 06:35:25 am: Of course there will be mana points, look at the Races section for example at the Lemurs page it says \"+4 mana points at Creation\".
Title:
Post by: Lenric on February 19, 2002, 07:07:44 am: Whoot that figures in great with the designs ive been working on for the Guardians of Destiny.

We were using the 4 elements with spirit being the 5 and light and dark being the 6th and 7th.

Post by: meket on February 23, 2002, 11:11:24 pm: everyone is saying crap lke fire and earth and junk..

the first post said that in the old forums thay where talkin about the\'ways\' of magic or soemthing..

said the red way..my guess that would be fire
prolly a brown way...earth eh
blue...i duno water?
i dunno what color air might be...hmm white?

adn kendrick they prolly just diff \'styles\' of magic..
like flying around would be an white way...and not a brown way..one could cause an earth quake with the brown way and not the fire way..this are jsut my guess but it seems pretty logical eh?
Title:
Post by: Lenric on February 24, 2002, 03:03:26 pm: Hmm I dunno I would probably say an earthquake if twas a spell was caused by Brown and red ways.

Brown for the earth like the different plates,faults and such,while using the red flows of fire to cause shifts in the molton magma making it shift causing an earthquake.

Id probably make it more complex of a weaving too as it is a harder spell to use as it takes practical knowledge.

Perhaps tying in different flows of various lengths and sizes.
Kinda like The wheel of time series.

like flying around would be an white way

are u able to fly with magic?? I tought only klyros were able to fly. and ofcourse the pterosaur owners! how will that be the pterosaur ownership?? Do U just have a stable to put it in or do U summon it!!??
Title:
Post by: Daystar on February 24, 2002, 07:59:17 pm: I think stables would do the trick.
Title:
Post by: ninkwi njadro on February 24, 2002, 08:23:25 pm: yeah but would U have to go there everytime u need it?? I would like to see this more like in zelda. U just grab a flute and play a tune or something like that. example I wanted to go to townhall(not far so i won\'t fly there and there\'s never parkin space) but on the way someone asks me to go with him to the labyrint so we walk there caus he doesn\'t own a pterosaur and it wouldn\'t be fun if i fly and he has to walk(wich makes me think will we be able to ride with more thatn one person??). when we are done with whatever we were gonna do I would just play the tune and fly home!! instead of walkin!! and I dunno where U start after U left the game so if I start out in the midlle of somewhere it would be nice if i could just quickly go to a place where\'s something to do!!
Title:
Post by: meket on February 24, 2002, 10:19:09 pm: lol i dunno if u can fly kinkwi...i was just using that as an example.
Title:
Post by: Cyonamie on February 25, 2002, 10:55:41 pm: Ok, i almost know for a fact, that the elements will be: Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. Most other games have it, and plus, i doubt they would make things like Sky, Lava, Lightning, and Ice
Title:
Post by: meket on February 28, 2002, 01:18:50 am: cyo admit it...u know nothing.
Title:
Post by: Dumb Woob on February 28, 2002, 03:15:30 am: me thinks he\'s just making crap up...
Title:
Post by: Kendrick on February 28, 2002, 03:51:23 am: Are you saying I don\'t know what I\'m talking about?

I know the magic classes are Dark way, Azure way, Brown way, Red way ectt...

I found the old post, but I\'m not sure if i should post it hear

(Edit) I was talking to Cynonamie(/Edit)
Title:
Post by: Dumb Woob on February 28, 2002, 04:07:11 am: nah i was talking about cyonamie...

Post by: Abemore on March 27, 2002, 10:17:07 am: The 6 Ways are Crystal, Azure, Blue, Red, Brown, and Dark
Their colors are white, light-blue, blue, red, brown, and black
...but this might not be final - the names and/or colors could change at any time.

EDIT: i think they should change some of the names, cause i dont really like the name the Blue Way or the Red Way and especially not the Brown Way (doodoo!). they should come up with some cool names similar to the crystal, azure, and Dark ways. i dont know. something good.

EDIT: i was thinking maybe the Rubric way for red, the Zaffir Way for blue, and i guess the Ocher [oker] Way for brown. so it would look like Crystal, Azure, Zaffir, Rubric, Ocher, Dark.
can anyone think of other names?

also, picture a six pointed asterisk ( * ) with one kind of Way at each point. maybe when you are stronger in red, you\'re weaker in blue. sronger in white, weaker in black. that would be pretty cool if all the magics offset eachother like that.
Title: Aha!!!!
Post by: Camann on April 03, 2002, 06:00:42 am: I might have found the answer!!! On the page about the races if you look under the Klyros it says that they are fast in air, water, and earth. But it also says that there are only three... Must have been written b4 a fourth one was added.

So there you have three of the four elemental magics!
Title:
Post by: Kendrick on April 04, 2002, 01:55:03 am: Abemore (forgive my spelling) is right :)

the krylos thing is just saying that they can fly, walk, and swim
Title:
Post by: Kendaro on April 04, 2002, 05:31:21 am: yes,
what you are reading in the race section with the Klyros is that they can move in those elements. they can swim, they can fly, and they can travel on land.

Post by: alcapalis on April 04, 2002, 05:39:21 pm: hmmm cool :)
Title: Oh well...
Post by: Camann on April 04, 2002, 06:55:43 pm: So i was wrong... Oh well, I guess the only way to find out for 100% sure is to just wait :rolleyes: .
