@ TR

...yea that's the point.

I would have to explain everything about Shattered Ice Flower, but the basic gist is the typical "corruption within" and "You're on the wrong side."
...which is pretty much what I use for everything.

The problem was though that I couldn't figure out how to describe Light and Dark as being the basis of other elementals.
Even though what I had would have worked, it wouldn't permit the trademark Dark Arts aspect.

EDIT: I think I'm going to tie it back to Aura Energy...

Aura energy is the basis of the Galaxy and therefore can be manipulated however.
If I say that the magic works through Crystals it would make sense...
Energizing the crystal so that it bears one trait, either Light or Dark...
Each person can turn themselves to be in tune with either trait, hence Light and Dark Mages...
This restricts what you can use...

Dammit I still can't make it work in my head.

Double post Edit

this is what I need to make work because this is what I've set up...


EDIT 2:

Eternal Light and Ethereal Darkness, the sources of all magic on the planet Alcyon and therefore the continent of Mana.

The Eternal Light and Ethereal Darkness are _____(1)______ that can be awakened with specific rituals.

Upon awakening, The ___(1)____ of Eternal Light does ____(2)___, while the ___(1)___ of Ethereal Darkness would plunge all of Mana into darkness, granting the Awakener extraordinary power that bends to their will, however, the power of the Ethereal Darkness tests the soul and if the Awakener is not worthy, will become a puppet of the Ethereal Darkness.

From the Eternal Light and Ethereal Darkness, all types of magic are born. ________(3)____________

[insert more blanks here because I still can't figure it out]

I can't connect the dots.

Current ideas:

1: Sentient Entities
1: Crystals
2: Exact same thing as the Ethereal Darkness?
3: However, it is from Nymphs that the elemental properties are derived.(maybe?)

@Cucoo

Wait which RP is this even for!?


In TSU I never said that Dark Magic is meant for complete EVIL. It was made to be the counter for Light magic, as if it grows to powerful bad shit can happen and vice versa. Dark Magic is just fueled by negative thoughts and emotions. Meaning things like simple anger, and sorrow could fuel Dark Magic. Doesn't mean Dark Magic is evil. I mean look at the Dark Teacher Ms. Dharc. She's not evil... she is cruel, but not evil. It's just that Dark Magic was created to be the opposite of Light Magic to counter it, and vice versa. The Four Elemental Guardians, and the earthly elements were built to balance everything else out.

Light Magic doesn't mean that something is immediately "Holy" same as how Dark Magic isn't actually "Evil" Holy and Evil magic types are for Demonic Magic (not to be used by actual players in the RP aside from a few important NPC's later on), and actual Holy Magic.

Not meaning to bash on you or anything, seriously I'm not. Just saying, and just asking. Also what RP are you talking about? EG or TSU? Because it's getting quite confusing for me now.


ALSO FYI People. Me and Wriggle will be playing Elsword for a good portion of the day.

I might check forum every two dungeons or so (after I eat dinner of course), but seeing that both Pringles and Kristia aren't online I don't see any RPs getting much progress.

...Unless Satorix posterino on TSU for Spira of course.

@ SUS

EG: Shattered Ice Flower which is the origin story for Kiara

And yes I know that but when you first said it I was thinking you meant it to be more malicious.

But the problem still remains unaddressed
I need a way to explain how Light and Dark Magic are the origins of all magic instead of having three brothers where light and dark are two of them but are not the origins.

aye...




Challenge: Fill in the blanks with something that would make sense.


Eternal Light and Ethereal Darkness, the sources of all magic on the planet Alcyon and therefore the continent of Mana.

The Eternal Light and Ethereal Darkness are _____(1)______ that can be awakened with specific rituals.

Upon awakening, The ___(1)____ of Eternal Light does ____(2)___, while the ___(1)___ of Ethereal Darkness would plunge all of Mana into darkness, granting the Awakener extraordinary power that bends to their will, however, the power of the Ethereal Darkness tests the soul and if the Awakener is not worthy, will become a puppet of the Ethereal Darkness.

From the Eternal Light and Ethereal Darkness, all types of magic are born. ________(3)____________
The Elementals are ________________(4)___________________ with their basis derived from the (Light and Dark).

Both Light and Dark are technically neutral where they both have utilitarian purposes.
Light magic has the obvious uses of providing Light Crystals and Energy Crystals
Dark magic on the other hand seems to benefit the aspects of Alchemy.



I can't connect the dots.

Current ideas:

1: Sentient Entities
1: Crystals
2: Exact same thing as the Ethereal Darkness?
3: However, it is from Nymphs that the elemental properties are derived.

Here's one that makes sense to me for 1 and 2.

The Eternal Light and Ethereal Darkness are BUNNIES that can be awakened with specific rituals.

Upon awakening, The BUNNY of Eternal Light does BACKFLIPS, while the BUNNY of Ethereal Darkness would plunge all of Mana into darkness, granting the Awakener extraordinary power that bends to their will, however, the power of the Ethereal Darkness tests the soul and if the Awakener is not worthy, will become a puppet of the Ethereal Darkness.




Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.

You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

Can someone help me find the last post that dealt with Reimu? Yes, I'm going to have him fall on our little miko. I have to go afk for a bit.
