Roads go ever ever on,Over rock and under tree,By caves where never sun has shone,By streams that never find the sea.J.R.R. Tolkien - "The Hobbit"
Quote:The Goltherrhim are a now extinct tribe that once lived in the Goltherlon Forest. The High Wars agains the Helcrani caused these elves to dwindle in numbers, and they eventually left their massive forests to live with the Sanhorrhim, their more successful and peaceful brethren to the west. Few pure-blooded Goltherrhim live to this day; their blood has mixed with the Sanhorrhim.
Quote:Each element has spells that heal, wind magic is simply more developed than the others at the moment. From what I've read of wind magic, healing is sphere three and I'm not sure what level a mage has to be before being able to cast such spells.
Quote:I just find it highly unlikely that a mage would find such potential in a child and want to train her. It would make much more sense if she approached him and asked about magic. I'm not asking for you to change the fact that a customer of her father's taught her, I just want you to elaborate upon it so that it is more feasible.
Quote:Mages inscribe spells into books so that they may have something to refer to when they need a particular formula. Anyone not trained in magic would not understand what they were reading or its significance.
Quote:Is there any mention where the School of Wind is actually located. I need to know how far she traveled for school and how she has to travel from school back to her home. I am thinking not.
Quote:Also, do the schools give things to their students that have done exceptionally well. Maybe my character could have come by her brooch that way given as a graduation present?
Physical beauty is inextricably bound to Spiritual Beauty. If you are lacking in Spiritual Beauty, then you are lacking in Physical beauty. If you are overflowing with spiritual beauty, then you are also overflowing in physical beauty. At least in MY messed up eyes. -Derek Coulter
Quote:Also it states that "The Ylfferhim have a higher natural ability for magic than most elven tribes. In fact the tribe has the highest natural propensity for magic of any tribe in Southern Sarvonia, with a much higher than average number of individuals demonstrating an ability for sensing Oh'mód'hál.<~ A higher propensity only means that more of this tribes members are magically inclined. The ability of Oh'mód'hál has basically been banned from players as long as I have been on the site (about 18months). If not my first character Valannia would of had it Over the years the Ylfferhim have utilised their talents for magic to protect their forest home and thus the Quallian is quite unspoilt."
Quote:How would you gauge at what level the elves are learning at since they would follow close guidelines with Ximax, but more in depth? <~ The elves are learning at the same "level" as a Ximaxian magi, yet the time to learn is greater because Ximax has a vast store of knowledge on magic gathered from many races. Hence the learning curve in the academy is quicker than an outside teacher.In what way would the tribal schools differ from Ximax besides the obvious it being taught by the tribe rather than at a big school? Where is there information at that I can look to cut down on my mistakes so that I can get my CD approved?
Quote:It would make sense that when dealing with very strong spells, especially when you are still learning and will overexert oneself, that your energy would decrease and would become weaker (Or to put in another way you would tire yourself out). Am I misinterupting this? Or do magic users has a never ending means of casting spells? <~ A mage tires themselves out by manipulating car'all. It is not the Car'all that is manipulated but more the ounia of the perspective mages element within the Car'all. A more powerful mage can manipulate more and more often. The way I understood it Cár’áll is both spirtual and physical and can be manipulated in some form or fashion and that everything possesses Cár’áll in some form. Now the how to manipulate Cár’áll is the in depth and complicated part, but the concept really isn't. Am I correct in my understanding? <~ Yes If not, then I need to understand it properly if I am ever going to get to RP here.

Quote:Am I missing someplace that has updated information? I pull everything for my character from what is posted in the specific tribes section under the races icon. No hwere does it mention that the Ylfferhim tribe doesn't venture out very far nor likes visitors. It does say however "...and the Ylfferhim bards often travel to surronding elven tribes to teach other elven children basic lore." And it says "The Ylfferhim are a small and isolated group of elves that dwell in the Quallian Forest. Decended from - as they believe - the Astyrhim, they are actually very closely related to the Quaelhoirhim at the nearby Zeiphyrian Forests and relations between the two tribes are close, if sometimes a little strained." If the information contained in the races section is old and not updated and can't be relied on as a proper guide to write CDs from, please tell me where the most recent information is so that I won't keep making these kinds of mistakes.
Quote:Just like with the magic schools. I already asked, either here in this thread or in the A Guide to Magic thread, if the elves had their own schools and was told that the only school that was developed was Ximax. Even tho the tribes my character comes from may very well have their own system of magic school, I haven't found where it states that it is developed enough for me to use and pass my CD because it is underdeveloped. How would you gauge at what level the elves are learning at since they would follow close guidelines with Ximax, but more in depth? In what way would the tribal schools differ from Ximax besides the obvious it being taught by the tribe rather than at a big school?
