What will sorcery look like? 06/15/2015 08:51 AM CDT
Is there any info on what WM sorcery will look like? I've heard that black fire might not make it the WM magic system. Would like to know what the theme of WM sorcery might be.

Blackfire was said to not be likely to be included in WM sorcery because there was no good solution for it - any blackfire would be either overpowered from a mechanics point of view or underpowered compared to what blackfire should be and thus too watered down compardd to the lore of it.

Hylomorphic sorcery is slated to be the WM sorcery and while we don't know much about it, I believe it was said to be the merging of elements in an unnatural way (Liquid Fire, etc) by making the elements and planes do things they shouldn't.

There's been some hints / easter eggs in the Warrior Mage systems I've built that hint at what Hylomorphic Sorcery's cornerstone is going to be. In a very pro-sorcery completely-blind-to-hilarous-consequences sort of way.

I can't wait until I code up Hylomorphic Corruption.

It's going to be awesome.

Would the Void Spell be considered Hylomorphic Sorcery?

Void Spell is probably an Aether Manipulation ritual from Hell. But it might be sorcery, I donno and never had the need to define it.

I'd agree some kind of Aether hylomorphic sorcery - they honestly probably didn't even know what they were doing... It even know of aether back then. Could've been a mystery elelment too.

And I'm all for a visible cloud of screaming doom following us around as a big finger pointing at as for jacking with physics, after we're grotesquely turned inside out of course.

Seeing as how summoning weapons involves punching a hole in the plane of abiding, shoving our arms in and going "Oh look, a weapon", I'm pretty sure we still don't know what we're doing.

Warrior Mage sorceries have a "Draconic Outrage" tracker on them for the corruption of the domain they've caused. Sufficient Outrage causes a Dragon to descend onto them from above and eat them up. Yum.

But it's not taught by the guild 'necessarily' ::laughs evil::
