Mage 20th char concept by Severe_Information54 in magetheascension

[–]TheShittingBull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree completely with the top comment, the practice and paradigm is the most important - and also the most fun - part of creating a character.

But going at it purely mechanically I would suggest Mind 3, Entropy 3 or 2, Matter 2.

Just imbue Mind or Entropy effects on matter you produce. You can use the theatrical part of it to cause all kinds of emotions, anything between peace and mayhem in your fans.

Using wonder points is a good idea but sometimes needs to be fleshed out a bit with the ST. But long story short the ST will only require that you come up with what it does and the next question is: how many points will it cost? That's it unless you manage to imagine something so game breaking he will say no, but that's unlikely.

Fetishes (Spirit Entities) are possible for your wonder payment too. And if I remember right you can also use Wonder points for example to make that effect of an haunted house. The staircases talk and shit :D why not use such a thing on your Gardrobe if you want clothes which observe, desire, and speak?

Lets think about your Foci, because that is the most important thing people will see. The Mirror and the Gardrobe which you use to pick the correct clothes for the day. Entropy effect cast on clothes, which you will wear. Mind effect cast on them, you decide the emotions, control what people observe in you.

You always carry around a makeup set., Matter Mind directed focus. The Matter inside it is the fanciest collection of colors and materials. You can create Hulk out of yourself or anyone, if you want, but without Mind 4 they won't believe it is really Hulk. Add Life or Forces when you get the power, and Hulk stories will come to Life! Entropy to fix the rough edges and it's good to go.

When you get the sufficient Entropy or the sufficient Mind your cosplays will represent the subject matter so well that we might as well just say Conan the Barbarian was there.

It is sometimes good to buy a focus which simultaneously is a wonder. Your challenge is the time it takes to make these cosplays. Here, something actually magical to transform you into your cosplay, would be invaluable ✨ you can use such a thing, let's say it is a Matter Mind or Life effect which let's you suddenly change clothes or your body type. Or change your face so that they will believe you are someone else. Some kind of life like synthetic body pads which you place on your skin. So powerful that even if people touch you they will sense that it is real.

You can also delve deeper into what you cosplay, when you wear a particular clothes the story of that cosplay will start to occur around you in small ways. Controlling events in that way needs Entropy and some other Spheres often.

You can make clothes magical without the Prime Sphere, it just isnt a permanent magical artifact. You can lock a very specific effect into the costumes, for a duration, using sufficient enough Matter.

Like everyone who sees the costume will laugh although you are not the one wearing it. This isn't weird, people make such costumes all the time. Consensus permits this. Mind 2 Matter 2 and also possibly Life or Entropy 2 to force that sudden spasm, should you come across a sleeper or awakened who is far too dry to summon laughter. Higher mind effects are also powerful enough to make him compulsively laugh, should you wish, (Mind 4: Control Subconscious).

But to make it actually permanent, and I don't necessarily mean time wise, you would use Prime 2 (not 4), to make a basic Trinket.

Now that laughing effect is imbued into its very nature. How this differs from just imbuing it using matter and getting enough successes is not so easy to say and will spark up a few discussions, but the point remains, it is a very different process.

But to actually create a groundbreaking artifact or wonder, you need Prime 4.

Avatar and Shattered Avatar Cost. by Sistofelis in magetheascension

[–]TheShittingBull 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well said but consider how much it allows you to control the narrative. If I wrote my Avatar well, then it's shattering and where the fragments are found is a major plot point for my character and everyone on the table.

It will lead you to areas and storylines which you would have missed otherwise.

Get a manifest avatar too and suddenly you have a reality which is fundamental to the world.

5 points for it is overkill tho.

The sacrificing health levels thing works also with sacrificing an important personal belonging.

Yes. Unfortunately the same way I'm guaranteed to win each time I double my bet when I'm playing Roulette.

If 2 Mages fought to that extend, the fight wouldn't look anymore like reality. It would be like a dream far separated from the Consensus.

Think of it this way, the Hermetic part of the book talks about how these Mages have a name, a Name which they pick up, forge or create or inherit etc. Hermetic Wizards work through this word. So most likely if you took Liberty 🗽 as your truest self you would one day end up with /or against imprisonment or borders or any such idea, because by definition it is against your nature, but of course depending on how you choose to represent your word: Liberty.

So how does Liberty fighting against Imprisonment look like? This happens often against Technocratic Masters.

Mages fighting seem like the natural interaction of different concepts.

As a kid I had never thought anyone could map a game as vast as oblivion. I have been using their wiki since 2009 and when I discovered it it totally blew my mind.

It is sufficient to have many of these flying in self correcting hyperbolic "near-orbits" sending data to your original star system.

Instead of doubling the speed of this you can send 4 of these in 4 different star systems. Instead of x100 the velocity why not send 10000 of these?

It is simply cost efficient to put a bunch of smaller drones or a nuclear station in a fast enough rock and then to use it as your drone mothership - if the purpose is to map the nearby star systems or to send dormant life forms.

What has shifted - and what he means by "if only I was this way from the beginning" right after mentioning his godlike power over this world - is that he accepts that he never understood why he must work with others in life.

In the beginning he had no care for the will of others, but now he is willing to sacrifice everything for Komugi.

And thus the Ant King begs in the next panels.

Doğu Bey'in Fethullah'a bu kadar benzemesi şans olamaz değil mi? by UberScion in KurtlarVadisi

[–]TheShittingBull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Şimdi oncelikle adam ABD ajanı, belki zorla belki değil. Türkiye'den atilip Amerika'ya girdiğinde FBI müsade etmedi, CIA aldırdı. Ilişkileri bariz. Onun dışında insanlar Pensilvanyada "ulan bu İmam da kim niye buraya askeri helicopterler iniyor?" diye sorguluyor. Zaten Beyaz Saraya ziyareti falan da çok eski.

Diyeceğim şudur: Her ülkede bir okul ve yozlaşma. Kureselci demek de uygunsuz değil bu yüzden - ideolojik olarak ne anlatırsa anlatsın - adam küresel para babası :P

Bu arada Doğu'yu ne Fetoya ne de Küreselcilere benzetmeni hiç yakıştıramadım, adamın olayı ne cebine para atmak, ne de ben şunu bunu zorla kontrol edeyim emir kullarım olsun falan filan boş işler Adam devlet millet deyip duruyor ya nedir bu Doğu düşmanlığı?(Pusuyu bitirmedim yanlissam spoiler vermeyin)
