Evil's Return Discussion Thread 1: Because we need one even before the RP starts.

[Raiden]

Well, seeing as how the Christmas RP involved us blowing up Santa's workshop, destroying Santa's sleigh and leaving him abandoned in a ditch, sending an Ice Bitch to hell using the Raiden/Pyros Dual Tech That Shall Not Be Named, an elf got his ass kicked, half of the North Pole melted, and I'm pretty sure more than a few things had to start therapy.

We've got some high goals set for this one. d(d)

Out of curiosity - is it possible under this game's magic system to create a permanently magical item, like say, something that has a magical effect that activates with each use of the item? Looking at the bit about how say, magic bullets would be single-use items, I was wondering whether this would be simply because the bullet's impact with the target would destroy any sigil on the object, or whether the act of using a sigil drains out whatever magic it has stored.

Why am I half expecting to get mocked for answering this question?

Anyways, the answer is yes, you could create an permanent magic item. Most likely it was have to some kind of metal or other durable material to handling being the repeated focus. As to why the bullets are a single use item, yes, it is partly because bullets tend to deform when they strike their target, destroying the sigil...but mostly it was because was trying to keep magic bullets from being an extremely unbalanced item.

Edit:

Alright, for better or for worst the RP is up and running!

Look at the loser sitting around working out specifics of his imaginary magic system. Haw haw, you're stupid!

Is that sufficient? I wasn't planning to, but I do so hate to disappoint.

Basically. It started out probably as a part of the larger "Church Secret Army" but became a more national unit over time.

One other random thought that occured to me in consideration of magic and technology was how possible would it be to have some kind of teleportation system in place? For example, could a gunslinger keep a cachet of weapons & ammunition in a given location and use sigils to call up whatever armaments best suited a situation / return it when he was done?

[Krylo]

I think Loki's character actually does that...

[Mintaro]

Yes he dose, but it has limitations of a half mile I think. Also my post has some small actual relevance to the mother of hell in the middle. But it might need to be changed if Toast burner doesn't like the scene I described. But I think it works.

also my speech color is PaleGreen I have Susan as using Magenta. But if anyone really wants that speech color then I'll stop using it with her. I just wanted to use it to emphasize her cliche place in my characters life. but PaleGreen is MINE!

[Astral Harmony]

Yeah, looking at his arsenal, I'm sure some of his stuff is stored for access through Pokesigils. He just activates the spell with a "Compound bow, I choose you!" and poof, he's flinging arrows at his enemies.

[Toastburner B]

It looks fine, Mintaro...nice touch, I think.

And I'm taking it the fact that I'm laughing at AB's jokes as a sign that I really need to go bed.
