hi! i'm the one and only glory! i've been playing since about 2020? 2021? i don't remember anymore lol

= characters i've inflicted on the world =
* Ilineya of house Ridos, Aelin Spirit Templar and follower of Nariel (they/them)
Ilineya was a chronically tired hunter of void magi but frankly was really around to fuck forever and party. Started adventuring after a rager with some other spirit templars and a one-night stand with the god they follow.
* Sana of house Iathe, Aelin Necromancer (she/they) - The Lonely Revenant
Sana just wanted friends, and all the time she needed to be with them. A real nerd for the necromantic arts, and historically a big fan of the infamous Mazibel Zaulfung. A large portion of her undead eternity was spent depressed and hunted. She's probably still around in some aspect.
* Athe of house Judessa, Aelin Thief and touched by Alil (she/her)
Honestly I've forgotten a lot about Athe, but she was transed by Alil and uhhh.. was a delinquent.
* Irilae of house Isayel, Aelin Flameheart and Chosen of Alil (he/she/they) - The Glorious Conflagration
My first plot-involved character. Irilae was a pyromaniac asshole who didn't like other people at the start, and managed to overcome a lot of the hurdles of his shitty childhood after her only friend disappeared. The sigil storyline wasn't my best work (on my end), but I loved it nonetheless. Absolutely still around, probably fucking or making use of their Daphoan house heritage to get shitfaced a lot.
* Kasira ael ta Iana (formerly Adavausii-Rasel of house Laeru), Aelin Assassin and Chosen of Serachel (they/them) - Godslayer, Enemy of Earendam, Slayer of Vaelania, The Recalcitrant, The Blood-Soaked Hound, The Hero of Twilight.
The titles should tell you a lot. They lived, they suffered, they died horrifically. A story I won't forget anytime soon.

'''Foci Slots''': 2

A psionicist may use this focus to sift through the accumulated knowledge of their target and claim a skill as their own. They may only appropriate skills and other foci (that is: character powers that appear under the 'skills' or 'abilities' lists).

Having spent so long shaping their thought patterns into forms harmonious to psionics, they are unable to seize spells of any sort; they are now too alien to comprehend. Skills that directly relate to magic (for example, [[linear amplification]]) cannot be borrowed, either. Similarly, the meditative state involved in using sword-forms is just different enough as to be dissonant to psionic focus. Similarly, it is just not possible to borrow skills like [[warpath]] and [[berserk]] that involve relinquishing all mental control.

The reuse delay applies only after being unfocused. It is only possible to tap a single skill at a time. House powers cannot be tapped. This focus may be used remotely over a [[mindlink]], and is not inherently aggressive when used on a groupmate. It may, however, be rude to do so without permission.

Enflame

Hornedglory: fixed fire scholar link

Example use:
{{skill

|subtype=Benediction
|user=[[Fire scholar|Fire Scholars]]
|duration=(Level+6)/2 Hours
|castingCost=5 mana
|range=Single PC, Mob, or Object
|syntax=cast 'Enflame' <target>
}}

When used on a character, this spell imbues its target with an inner fire, markedly improving their damroll and saves. It is not possible to cast immolation upon a target who is currently fighting.

When used on an object of light type, this spell increases the duration of the light remaining. The object need not be held in inventory; it may simply be in the room with the caster. Objects that are not of type light may not be targeted by this spell; something that is simply glowing is not sufficient.

This spell was at one point taught in guilds as 'immolation'.

With this ability, a psionicist may form a protective shield around his target's mind, providing a bonus to their ability to resist mental attacks, magical fear effects, delusions, obfuscation, [[visions]], and allowing them to forcibly remove [[cloak|cloaks]] and [[beguile|beguilements]]. Assassins and watchers may only shield their own minds.

Devil

2024-02-05T14:27:41Z

Hornedglory: edited the flameheart link to be functionable

A '''devil''' is a sapient being of pure elemental [[fire]], created by [[Bayyal]] upon Its release from the [[Grave of Storms]]. Their personalities vary widely, from nominally friendly to murderous, but all are concerned with the spread of destruction in its purest and most direct form. They are known to offer power to mortals who appeal to them and demand nothing in return for granting such destructive power; it is enough to a devil to know it will be used.

Devils are usually addressed with the [[nefortu|nefortean]] honorific "Kyez" appended to a given name.

== Kyez-Pancuma ==

Kyez-Pancuma the Devil-Dog is the being responsible for the razing of much of [[Ashta Harrud]]'s farmlands during the War of Fire. Its essence was bound to the region now known as the Crimson Sands, rendering the area permanently barren.

== Ur-Zelech ==

Ur-Zelech was named by the [[shuddeni]], who attempted to apply demonic binding techniques to their great detriment; the ur- honorific, usually reserved for powerful [[demon]]s, resulted from this error. Long-imprisoned by the [[titan]]s, Ur-Zelech responds to appeals from adventurers for the power of a [[Fire scholar#Flameheart|Flameheart]].

== Kyez-Ralin ==

Once the possessor of [[Yesa Aea'ria]]. Purged with the [[Chalice of Jolinn]] and imprisoned.

Many combatants learn to grip tightly onto their weapons, providing them a significant defense against being disarmed, being stripped, or affected by the magnetic grasp spell. Due to their intimate awareness of the strip skill, gladiators have a heightened defense against it.

Those skilled in mundane first aid may quickly apply a bandage to injuries, healing the target and providing a chance to stave off poison. Without the [[field medicine]] skill, this may be done every 6 hours. With the skill, it takes 8, in light of the more thorough attention.

Dodge is a melee defense skill focused on the avoidance of blows. It is particularly difficult to dodge flails and polearms, and easier to dodge whips. Dodge is the favored defense of rogues, but it is taught in many other schools as well.

All aelin receive a bonus to this skill.

Fighter

2024-02-02T17:59:24Z

Hornedglory: fixed the second/third/fourth attack links to redirect to Iterative attack

Fighters as a class are learned in several weapons, and focus primarily on using one of them in conjunction with a shield, which provides unparalleled defensive capability against common blows. They possess several powerful active skills, and have a great deal of passive benefits in combat, including higher chances of attempting second/third/fourth attacks, the ability to counter physical attacks, and reduce magical damage with shield technique.

Fighters may be of any alignment, but due to the inherently organized nature of the profession they may not be chaotic.

Rescue allows the user intercede in combat for another. This will direct the melee blows of the target's foe at the user, removing them from combat. If the target is being targeted by multiple opponents, they will need to be rescued from each one in turn. It is not possible to rescue someone who is not being targeted by any enemies. A character who is autoassisting will immediately rejoin combat after being rescued.

}}

One of the few skills taught by almost all guilds of Avendar, parrying is the art of fending off an opponent's blows with one's own weapon. It is easiest to do so with a staff, though polearms and spears are well-suited to it as well. Swords and exotic weapons are neither good nor poor to one attempting to parry, though swords parry more effectively when wielded with both hands. Maces, axes, flails, daggers and whips are in turn less and less suited to parrying with.

Fighters, by virtue of their training in a variety of techniques, will be more skilled at parrying no matter what the weapon.

Wielding a weapon other than a sword or a spear in one's offhand will inhibit parrying with the main hand, though gladiators learn techniques to parry better while offhanding a whip. It is typically easier to parry when skilled with one's own weapon.

It is particularly difficult to parry against daggers and whips, and easier to parry polearms.

== Mixed Spheres ==
Spirit scholars are given the option of choosing to diversify their studies to include a secondary sphere. While their primary class abilities will remain the same regardless of their selection, command of additional magic can create novel 'mixed-sphere' combinations. For Spirit majors, their minor sphere will flavor the [[manifest Weave|manifestation]] and/or [[avatar]] they create; provide alternate functionality to class spells; or duplicate active spells to their [[bond of souls|bond target]].

Archery is a ranged weapon skill, functioning similarly to melee weapons. To use archery, a character must first nock an arrow, and then fire it with the shoot command. Arrows may be purchased throughout Avendar, or created by [[ranger|rangers]] using wildcraft. The distance an arrow can be fired is determined by the range modifier on both the bow and arrow being used. Archery finds the closest possible target that matches the argument you supply; it searches for a matching target in your current room before any direction you supply.

Arrows can be imbued with magic spells or secondary effects, which take effect when the arrow hits its target. Additionally, arrows may be branded with elemental spells, such as [[lightning brand]], in the same way a melee weapon can.

If used in combat, one specifies the arrow one is using; it is not possible to fire at targets in other rooms while fighting. One may draw directly from a quiver.

The poison will wear off once the poison has been delivered to its target. This skill may indeed be used upon arrows.

The poisons used by this skill are those created in advance via the [[prepare]] skill and no others. In general, there is a lessened chance of delivering the effect of a poison via envenom.

Dual wielding is the ability to use an additional weapon in the character's offhand. Weapons being dual wielded will suffer a slight penalty in the amount of damage and have a lesser chance of iterative attacks. Weapon weight must be considered with this skill, as only weapons lighter then the one being wielded in the main hand are capable of being dual wielded. [[swordmaster|Swordmasters]] are exempt from this restriction, and can dual wield nearly any two swords they can hold. Certain unwieldy combinations of weapons will be more awkward to defend oneself with.

Large-sized races, such as the [[chaja]] or [[alatharya]], are able to hold certain kinds of two-handed weapons with one hand, and dual wield them. The balance of spears, staves, and polearms are such that this is not possible for these weapons.

The ambidextrous trait, available upon creation and given to [[gladiator|gladiators]] and swordmasters automatically, reduces but does not remove the weight restrictions (though swordmasters have none in either case).
