Welcome to Gaia! ::

A good idea. I also think we should list all the known spells from the manga, and maybe make a sub-forum where we could suggest our own spells?

Still a good place to put it.

Well...there's always the wiki someone could reference to...maybe by copying into the guild somewhere or linking to it somehow.

I won't make a whole subforum for skills. That would be...well, just no. Sorry. But we can see where we can put the topics for it.

As for Magica Erebia. I thought about it for a while and it probably is a good idea to get a hold of Nekochild08 since he's Negi, and Madwolf023, being Evangline, and talk to them both about this. We may not follow the manga storyline, but that never was meant to restrict anyone from initiating it.

lol that's why not every mage is going to be allowed to learn such techniques. It's just useful to have a reference of both basic magic and advanced powerful magic. I won't post such a topic up if it's just going to be used for some freak godmod purpose. After all, there's a power cap on all the characters, hell, there's even one on the bad guys XD If there wasn't one then we'd have a godmod crisis.

I'm all for a reference list of techniques. Suggesting new spells though. Ummm...that's not necessary to post in a thread here.

If you guys looked at everything you would know there's a combat info skeleton you have to make and give to me if your character uses a type of magic or inhuman ability to fight. It's there you could suggest new things. I've had people do it before and it's never caused an issue.

This is why you should pm your combat info me first. I have to be able to look at it and approce of any new abilities that are above average, to check to see if you're being unreasonably powerful.

While I can understand adding stuff like Magia Erebia into the RP, I really, truly think that it should be more limited, as was stated before. You have to take into consideration that Magia Erebia, in its perfected form, is a power akin to mid-range DBZ level, I'd say somewhere around lower to middle Frieza Saga.

Yet, we all have to take into consideration what kind of power that is when we're wielding it. Remember, the Saiyan Saga proved that even low-powered Saiyans, not even above 9,000 on the power scale, had the potential to destroy entire armies. This is also revisited during several historical reference episodes that talk about how the Saiyans conquered their home planet against the Tuffles, and the Tuffles were damn well near Star Wars tech and were known to kill Saiyans, albeit at a cost in life that would make the Soviets blush.

My point is, when considering Magia Erebia as an ability, think about why your character would need to learn such an ability. The only reason why Negi learned this ability was out of necessity, not because he had to have it because it was cool.

All in all, in my honest opinion, I think it should be used as a plot device only. That's way too powerful of an ability to have, and I'd be remiss if I didn't say that I have very vivid memories of Old Gaia and the wanky DBZ RPs. Those always ended horribly, and I'd hate to see this one end the same way.

True...though for a second I thought this conversation in general was turning into a topic about what kind of magic to allow in the roleplay in general. I don't want to consider, after consideration over several weeks, being remotely close to this place in the manga yet. Consider that Neko hasn't had Negi engage in true training yet, not even with Evangline, it's far too early for any of teh OCs or canons to be showing this off yet.

Also peg that the ability itself would be putting your OCs and canons at risk if they even tried to learn it. Neig himself turns into an uncontrllable demon, so using it would force you to reconsider your entire OC's profile, even put their lives in danger. Anyway, we're strictly campus only right now and such a powerful magic isn't gonna be used on campus.
