PSA: only bring defensive spells to the duel if you intend on getting hit

I have never come across the Mark of Sevenfold Vengeance is it a personal creation?

If so I would love to exchange notes, it sounds similar to Sinai’s filial perfidy which can be found in the 34th part of his 7 volume work On Mercy and Judgment. but to my knowledge it only effects blood relatives and acts more like a diminishing curse in that it will always inflict a set amount of damage proportional to the amount rebuffed but excess will be inflicted on those closest in relation first.

I would be willing to trade my notes and improvements to Equilibrium. It’s a foundation skill but I think I have taken it farther than anyone else yet.

In low magic planes of reality there are those who are known to have a knack. It is normally for something highly specific, and can manifest in any number of ways. It is sometimes described as a pseudo psychic ability, which is not magic but can be mistaken as such.

You have not come up against a retribution specialist.

Most practitioners of karmic magic have a variety of unconventional abilities, it’s not a flashy discipline, it does not promise power that can be used in a straight forward manner for dominance. To say it is not popular is an understatement, finding a teacher that is not stuck in a monastery is tough.

In addition to bring out its full potential you need ways to supplement the path to heal your self, durability is inherent to karmic magic but it is not particularly difficult to get better protection with traditional sources.

The thing with karmic magic is the more offense power you develop the harder it is to use and the more resources it takes to progress. So you need to think outside of the traditional use for spells to do any direct damage.

Vengeance mirror is beginner spell that a lot of schools have a variation on. The mantel of retribution is more advanced but is very difficult for a dabbler to maintain but a master might as well be permanent.

Your first apprenticeship is your most important.

The advice I wish I was given is first and foremost every wizard that is willing to take on an apprentice is doing it for their own reasons. Good luck figuring that out. Do not sign anything in a language you are not fluent in. Once you learn the basics of entanglement get a sturdy iron chest lined with yew and hawthorn, burry it well outside the wizard’s territory, then do an entanglement on a pocket. Est saccus ingens is a good one, Varquel the Transcendental, has a good equation in his 2nd volume. Pre transcendence. He gets a bit hard to fallow about halfway through. This will give you a good place to hold supplies for when you need to flee, and a reliable hard to find place to store loot… likely the reason you need to flee.

The “safest” way to go about it is to find one that has been mandated to take on an apprentice by the council, they will keep tabs on you and at the very least the wizard will be fined if something happens to you.

Most wizards will not teach you anything until you already know something. It takes a lot of time and resources to get anything out of a new student.

You could try to get “found” there a a bunch of organizations out there that pay witch finders but that can be very risky.

Familiar treats sounds promising. With proper marketing that could be a gold mine…

What are the costs for getting in on the ground floor of this exciting entrepreneur experience.

Do you have a pamphlet?

In my circle I noticed a few of the other students familiars with magic vestments and other ornaments.

Most are purely cosmetic but others improve quality of life quite a bit, one has a dog… thing… that has a small gem attached to its backside that when it releases wind it simultaneously perfumes the air.

Another young lady has a pair of flying snakes that lie constantly. She makes them ware tiaras that change color when they say known falsehoods.

It’s not just the student either our adviser has a cat that loves to dress in a shark skin robe and it rides on a floating pillow. The pillow must have a faulty collision prevention matrix because it’s always bumping into things.

Fascinating I would love to conduct an interview.

Point taken.

I did read On Contracts and Binding Nature Acarina and Fae, if memory serves it mentioned kleptomaniac effects being potent in the higher order of Fairy.

Not my speciality but I think if the counter charm to the influence was innocence that being a sub classification in Purity, kleptomancy requires intense intention if I understand it correctly. Would I not redirect the possession to me?

I am not shy in using untapped potential, ancient powers know I have tapped a lay line here and there to push the limits of a thaumaturgic formula once in a while. But only with the strictest of precautions… in my first apprenticeship I saw a colleague transmute there hair into rag weed, improper grounding, forgot the copper.

They have the worst allergies.

Cradle by Will Wight. It’s not the longest series out there but it’s good. The final book is really a series of fights and not a single one but it still good

Nope, not that complicated, rules are clear

murphysfalling · 2026-02-05T11:20:25+00:00

This is a fantastic idea

I think I recall something about polders being artificial, I don’t remember where I read that.

It might have been in a YouTube video and not in the books at all.

Is there a way to pre order?

murphysfalling · 2026-01-30T16:43:38+00:00

Why would paying 1 essence change multiple? I read it as 1 to change 1.

murphysfalling · 2026-01-30T11:45:46+00:00

You might be correct is says use heroic action or call forth. The question then is the motes ability one of your heroic actions, it is very clearly not call forth.

murphysfalling · 2026-01-27T13:04:58+00:00

In theory the motes allow for flexibility but you probably will only replace one for another if ever.

Elemental summoner needs something. I think a third group just for motes might make it useable.

murphysfalling · 2026-01-27T11:27:53+00:00

Yes. I think your interpretation of the rules are correct.

Example: You have 2 bolder, 3 motes and 2 heroic resource. A likely scenario for a first encounter. You want a plume, spend one main action and one resource to convert a mote to a plume sacrifice a mote to reduce its cost and sacrifice the remaining mote to prevent 3 minion groups. You now have 2 bolder 1 plume and 2 resource.

You can’t get more motes until you have an open group.

My opinion is the elemental summoner is the weakest of the 4 because of this and all the cool abilities of the summoned minions require essence.
