Mostly Fortourgy Glyph Ideas!

Post by Dennis »

Stealing concepts from other games I've played and regurgitating them in a half-baked idea hoping to spark inspiration is my speciality!

Glyph: Magic Missiles
IC description: When under the effect of the `missileo` glyph's power, a translucent crystalline arrowhead of energy will slowly encircle you. When you attempt to attack something, either with a ranged or a melee weapon, the arrowhead will trace your intent and soar into your foes, exploding on impact in an attempt to deliver your deadly intention.
OOC description: (A homing missile that explodes on contact with your target. Must recharge for 7 seconds after each occurrance.)
Usage: Passive
Energy usage: -45
Cooldown timer: 7
Prerequisite Abilities:
Occult Diagrams
Duration Factors:
Base: 300
Max: 7200
== Skills ==
Arcana: 2/rank
== Attributes ==
Intuition: +25%
Willpower: +10%
== Affinities ==
Fortourgy: 36/rank

Glyph: Projected Tools
IC description: The power of the `projecto` glyph will cause a translucent force to take shape in your right hand following a set design. The projected tool or weapon lacks an edge but is tangible, allowing it to be used as a blunted instrument. The projection effect draws some energy from the owner, and the owner may experience lowered overall energy levels even up to a minute or so after the projection effect has ended.
OOC description: (project an item from your right hand. Maximum energy is lowered while projection is in effect.)
Usage: draw the glyph as part of an occult diagram, and have an empty right hand when activating the diagram. dismiss <item> to dismiss the projection effect from it.
Energy usage: -15
Prerequisite Abilities:
Occult Diagrams
(example doodle: draw occult projecto design hoe) enter circle will project a force hoe.

Glyph: Structural Support
IC description: The power of the `vesto` glyph will cause an invsible internal force to envelope your bones, fortifying them from potential fractures by dissipating residual force.
OOC description: (Improves the target's defense against fractures)
Usage: draw the 'vesto' glyph as part of an occult diagram.
Energy usage: -25
Prerequisite Abilities:
Occult Diagrams

Fortourgy: 36/rank

Glyph: `duplico` (Mirror Image) is an ability that can be learned by characters.
IC description: The `duplico` glyph causes the target's form to be perfectly duplicated in the form of an illusion, affording a benefit to melee and dodging combat given how distracting the illusory duplicate is.
OOC description: (duplicate the target's form, giving bonuses to melee and dodge, but vanishing if the image is struck.)
Usage: Draw the `duplico` glyph as part of an occult diagram.
Roundtime: 5
Energy usage: -25

I think making your bones more rigid would just add to fractures, not prevent them... and also, wouldn't it be hard to move?
You reach toward ((DEV Rias)) ... Pull(d225([1]x)):214 vs Mark(d1100):714 = -500 (-222%)
You notice ((DEV Rias)) glance your way, causing you to quickly withdraw your hand from his wool
drawstring pouch (open).
Roundtime: 5 seconds.

I was thinking it was less of a making it more rigid and more like giving them an invisible magical airbaggy cushion, so that residual force from impacts is dispersed by this energy rather than delivering it to the bones. This idea is not backed by science.

A Lumourgy Glyph Idea!

Post by Dennis »

This one harkens back to the ol' flashbang of yore.

Glyph: FLASHBANG
IC description: When under the effect of the FLASHBANG glyph's power, a translucent energy will surround your weapons. When you strike a target with significant force, the energy will explode in a harmless burst of light in an attempt to blind the target. Darkened lensed glasses are recommended.
OOC description: (A chance on hit to emit a blinding flash of light, potentially stunning the target. Must recharge for 15 seconds after each occurrance.)
Usage: draw the glyph as part of an occult diagram.
Energy usage: -45
Prerequisite Abilities:
Occult Diagrams
Duration Factors:
Base: 300
Max: 7200
== Skills ==
Arcana: 2/rank

Intuition: +25%
Willpower: +10%

Mirror image and flashbang are probably lumourgy, rather than fortourgy for what it's worth.
