I think rather the warriors will keep the parchments and learn runes themselves just for the sake of it. Why? First of all, 90+% warriors would be unable to read the runes, let alone make any use of those (if you assume that Ancient is required to read). Secondly, I doubt that many warriors would b...

I agree with Mr.Cromwell, except for his points 3 and 4. Why not keep the current system as a second option? Balance. Having a high-level rune given to you would be incredibly easier than (under the suggested system) finding it yourself. Besides, like I said: I find it fair and reasonable that deve...

I'd more or less go with what Velask suggested. I mean, that system is quite genius and my sincerest compliments to its inventor, you rock. ;) 1. To play a mage, you need to make an application. The applications are checked by the staff, and upon approval the approved character gets the ancient-book...

I'd like to thank Ashayen for today's RP.. Heated argues, struggles.. even a chase! :o :wink:

In particular I liked the scene on top of the lighthouse, for which a thanks goes also to the pixie. I look forward to seeing what happens next! :)

Please remember this is a game. IF the problems outweigh the "fun" for players (and mage teachers are players first), they won't play their chars. You could apply that on mage students as well. Anyway, now that we understand that mage teachers are players, I'd like to point out that the a...

That's hardly an adequate argument to justify implementing the kind of change that was suggested.

Moreover, I'd wait and see how HC the eventual tweak of the fighting system is before anyone spends time on scripting this.

@Rekarafi Actually, it's a game. Magic.. carpentery.. it should still be interesting and fun.
