Oh, and do we start with any Magistine?
How common are they in the current time period?

Oh, and do we start with any Magistine? How common are they in the current time period? Fairly common among the elite, but still quite rare in normal society. They aren't rare enough for one mage to create a big commotion simply by using magic, but they aren't an everyday occurrence either. As for starting with a Magistine, as long as it's OK with Emperor, I'll leave that choice up to the player. I've only begun work on the other gods, but as of now, I don't intend to include the entire Pantheon. Cause spoilers. |

Wait, you put ??? for your Magistine. Does that mean that you don't have any, have an unknown type, or what? And how does Colossus seem to be made of fire? How did he get it in the first place?
Am I asking too many questions?

I think he was referring to a weapon.
Plus, having a character start off with multiple Magistine is like starting off with a level 20 Druid in an environment full of Level 1 Thief-Acrobats.

I was actually thinking of doing another female main b/c the FF one is a on a short hiatus. Oh and Shiva will be in her name somewhere maybe as a nickname or a middle name. So we can have multiple elements in this RP unlike in Astur where we could only do one type of magic. |

Also since I am extremely biased towards swords she will have both twin blades and a lance (if she can have both). If I can't then I will stick with just twin blades.

Am I asking too many questions? -_- You're like that one hyperactive student in class who always raises his hand to answer questions, even when there aren't any questions being asked. My character does have a Magistine(although not at the start of the RP), and I used ???, because of spoilers. Colossus is forged from Red Steel, which is a metal found only in the desert of Yssgrad, but due to it's nature, the metal is difficult to temper and forge. Only a few know how to do so. One of those few is a Swordmaster named Gerik. Val forged his sword himself, as a part of his last trial. I believe I mentioned most of this in my character post. |

Water and Ice is the same Magistine. And I wasn't saying he could start off with that combo, just that it would be something cool to work for. The ability to fuse Magistine will not come into play until much later. |

How did I miss that?
I just wanted to make sure I got everything before I jumped too far ahead.
So I've decided my weapon, and now I need to pick what Magistine I'll want in the future.
Just in case so that I don't take the Magistine that you're going to use, is it any of the following: Acid, Poison, Vorpal, or Blast?

*is still gauging the relative power level*
How strong would an early but difficult encounter be?

*is still gauging the relative power level* How strong would an early but difficult encounter be? Hmm... Probably an early Eldritch Beast. Eldritch Beasts are like Epic Monsters from UB. Eldritch Beasts were originally normal animals or monsters, but when they were bound to a Waystone by Hecate, they became unable to leave the area surrounding the Waystone. As such, over many years, the beasts were exposed to the intense magic of the Waystones, gradually transforming into something else. Eldritch Beasts are all very large, and can range from 10 feet tall to living titans as tall as mountains, and serpents that stretch the entire length of the Sea. A relatively low level Eldritch Beast is a Terrvaga, which is basically a giant crystal tortoise that likes to spin. A lot. Another example is a Cerberus, which, you guessed it, is a giant three headed demon dog. Both are low level and can be encountered early on, but are still far stronger than normal beginning enemies. |

Oh, and don't worry about accidentally picking the same Magistine as me. My stone is plot related, and literally one of a kind.

And how powerful would these creatures be? Let's use World Martial Art's Tournament Krillin as our unit of measurement.
Are you referring to solo or group encounters?

I'm in the process of making my character. Still conjuring up a backstory. If I'm going with Magistine, mine will probably be wind. A weapons would probably be a Bo staff... Always wanted to try that. Maybe a magic Bo staff... Reference anyone?
If your worried about the power levels, Golurk, no need. That's why the strong a Magistine is, the more dangerous it is to use. Normal Magistine are jus as strong as the regular elements at base. As I've said, it is only as powerful as the wielder. Take the Sage for example, he was amazingly powerful, and so his sacred wing Magistine was very powerful, but it drew on his life force heavily.
Wielder normally live from age 20-45 because of these drawbacks.
I'm okay with you using acid and the others you listed, but only if they aren't OP to the point where you can one shot things. Encounters are generally monsters. Ex. Centaurs, maybe a Nymph or two if they are corrupted. A lot of mythological beast, so I suppose you can expect a Pegasus or two to show up, but they are pretty rare in this RP.
And I forgot to add race...
Never mind. You can choose from most things except for God/Gods. I'm thinking to add elves, but I don't think they would have a place in this.

Wait, does this Magistine have any special powers of a different element, or is it a souped-up version of another? Jack of all trades? Master of all trades? Sacred Wing?

He basically gave you a free Spoiler. Sacred Wings are Special Magistine, that have to be found. That is all we're saying on the matter. *Glares angrily at Emperor* |

You can probably solo most of the weaker Beasts, though obviously, that would be nearly impossible with stronger ones. The weakest Eldritch Beast is a Verdant Raptor, which... Could probably eat Frieza Saga!Krillin for Breakfast. A normal Magistine is pretty darn powerful, but again it depends on the Mage. The weakest Magistine out there could still make an average Mage capable of singlehandedly defeating an entire squad of hardened warriors pretty easily. |
