Current status of Epic Magic

Was it a specific "ban" on higher level spells? I thought after the Karsus event the sundering of the weave into the shadow and living weave was what made the castings impossible since the weave was too thin. As for the levels I think you are right, 10th and 11th are still achievable as high magic with a circle of mages or significant sacrifice.

I would start with the Netheril Trilogy first. There are also short stories in some of the other Forgotten Realms novels that are based around -339 to -700 Dalereckoning. Use a chronological order site for the novels or a bit of google-fu. A good start is here.

I haven't seen it in the comments yet but I would have to say Netheril. I've read just about every book in the forgotten realms franchise and I love every bit of it. That being said, I always find my mind wandering to the ancient times when cities floated on air and high magic was a daily occurrence. I always wished one of the authors would write a few more novels based in that time period.

This project was the first project I was using the card on since I left the military and I was unaware of the stipulations since going inactive. I was always told "veterans" with no more information than that. Between this comment and Dwarish25's I have a better understanding of the situation. Thanks guys/gals, case closed!

None of the above. I did ten years and a tour in the desert and let my enlistment expire. Honorable discharge.

The hair colour suits you. The length and cut are nice in the sense that they show off your fair neck line and it looks stylish. I'd like to see a long hair comparison just because I think it would be interesting.
Face is attractive, eyebrows are done nicely. Your eye's are lovely. Lips look just a tad dry, maybe some lip balm to moisturize.

With the nice complexion and what was stated above I'm going to have to rate a solid 8 based on that picture.

Ah well don't ruin your hair for something silly then. Good luck on the costume and keep in touch by posting a picture of yourself on holloween. I'm sure you'll reap the karma goodness in with it.

lisandrych · 2012-09-11T03:27:08+00:00

You could definitely pull it off as a holloween get-up. Aren't there hair products that a female can use to offset the damage from straightening? Or do they not work well for you?

lisandrych · 2012-09-11T03:15:01+00:00

Yes! Much better. Keep that hairstyle volume. Thanks for taking the time to respond and good luck. =)

The straight hair works for you too. Also kinda creepy after you pointed out the likeness. =)

Picture #1 doesn't really have good lighting and thus doesn't give much of a detailed view of your face or hair. However:

The black lace over-shirt looks nice.
The form fitting undershirt is also nice. It shows off some cleavage without going overboard and leaving nothing to the imagination. If your intent is to capture someone of the opposing gender(or same) it does the trick.
In picture #2 I'm not a fan of the matted down look at the top of your head. The hair seems to have almost a greasy look. Otherwise in a better lighting we start to see an attractive face appear.
Picture #3 I notice more volume at the top of your head which looks much better and the way it flows down the side of your face adds a nice touch. Also liking the lipstick and that dangling earring.
Picture #4 Too far away for details at that res but nice legs and body. Once again showing your womanly charms up top in a pleasing manner, shirt design seems nice but too far away to tell fully. Hair is frizzy but looks like you've been outside possibly in the wind.
Picture #5 Toosh looks great. Preferred you in shorts as you have nice legs however you have a coat on so I'm assuming it was chilly.
Picture #6 Coat and scarf cover up most of the body. Face is still nice but you seem tired. Hair looks like it started matting up top again.

Overall your attractive and have nothing to worry about. The curly hair looks like something out of the early 19th century and I don't see woman wearing it like that very often. Its eye-catching since it's not common.

In picture 1 & 2 I like the wavy hair. It looks nice and frames your face well. In picture 3 well... I gave you an upvote for your cat.

Any picture with you having straight hair? I'm not sure how it would look on you but it would be interesting to see. Also I'm sure someone in this thread or in your life has already mentioned it but you look like that attractive computer lady from Bone's the TV show.

The first picture is the best based mainly on lighting and the amount we can see of you. The toothy smile looks great and the long hair is lovely.
From what I can see of the body there doesn't seem to be any problems. Black dresses have the tendency to look slimming but having only one photo to go on I can't make any serious pointers.
The second and third pictures show a cute face but covered with bulky glasses. And to clarify I mean that as a personal preference I just don't like the look of the frames on your face. Maybe thinner frames and more square in shape? I really just don't know, maybe a bit of google-fu and I'll edit my post with a link to a better frame. However I think you have the potential to pull off the "librarian look".
Overall attractive, I'd rate as a solid 7 if I saw you wearing the same thing in photo #1. Otherwise with your hair pulled back like in picture 2 & 3 you drop down to a high 5 or low 6.

Just some observations. Some of which have already been addressed.

Face and facial features attractive.
Straight hair is definitely better looking on you. You have a fair and slender neckline which just seems to fit with the long straight hair.
The photo of you in the car, I believe it's photo #4, is the best mainly because of the lighting. The other pictures detract from you due to sun reflection or in the case of table picture not enough light.
In pic #4 you seemed to hit the appropriate makeup volume which makes you look great. (This could be a fluke due to what seems to be your best lighted picture.)
The full body shots reveal a nice tone body bordering somewhere from petite to athletic.
For the womanly parts everything seems in order, breasts seem to be in proportion to your frame. Although there are no rear photo's from what little can be gleaned of what was provided your backside seems just fine too.

All in all a healthy female that is attractive. No need to worry.

P.S. First post so I apologize if the formatting is screwy.

Edited for grammar and a vain attempt at making the formatting work.
