Reaper Magic

[*] Reaper Magic [Life+Strength] [Founder: Lestacia]
The Combination of Life and Strength. Whenever the caster of this magic damages an enemy with this type of Magic Specifically, the enemy who was damaged not only takes a hit physically but by having the life magic increase the spread of lactic acid in the body artificially increasing fatigue, sealing their enemies stamina in the process.The amount of Stamina sealed Ranges based upon the spells Tier and it Lasts for 4 posts then the Stamina that was sealed can be used once more. The caster is not immune to the effects however if they were to create an AOE ability based around this they too would affected by the stamina seal.

Stamina Seal Scaling:

When a being is affected by Reaper Magic they gain a sinister black glow around them. When Cast it looks to be like a black miasma with glowing green specs flying about randomly like fireflies trapped in an inky black cloud.

*For Plot Related reasons she'll only have a D-tier spell for this to start off and as she rises through the ranks she'll present this ability to The Academy for her to be raised to Omega tier for right now she is studying the magic*

I could turn "Aging" into "Sapping their Life Force"

Is this "stamina" the stamina used to perform abilities? If so, I don't think that's fair to other players, even if it does the same to you. If not, then it's confusing whatever stamina you're referring to with the stamina used to perform abilities. Plus this doesn't really seem like a combination magic to me.

it was reffering to the Stamina you use to cast abilities. I mean Duq and everyone helped me with it in chat. a couple days ago... I can change it...

My gut says no, but we'll see what Yaku says. Also, when making a combination magic, you normally put up spells to be approved with it as well.

Then I'll just edit this Post sometime Later because i'll end up changing it anyways......

Can you explain in details how the reaper magic works to damage the stamina?
Also can you use this template for your combo magic?

Code:


[*][b][u] Combo magic name [magic types] [Founder: State your name][/u][/b] [i]Explain the combo magic as detailed as you can[/i]

Just because an ability is really strong against certain types of characters doesn't make it unfair. It's not particularly strong against a fanalis warrior. You can't determine the fairness of an ability just by looking at how it works against one type of person. You have to look at how it affects everyone.

That said, there are a few key limitations I'm going to put on this magic type:

-Delete the age based stuff. I know you think of it as "just flavor text" but on this site, there is no such thing as "flavor text" All text in a description matters and is taken at face value to be applied logically. If you say you age people and it was approved, you would literally age their characters. Change it to something like having the life magic increase the spread of lactic acid in the body artificially increasing fatigue.

-You can't absorb the stamina. It doesn't sound like you're saying that, but just gonna throw this out there so you don't even try.

-You need to describe what this magic looks like and what kind of properties it has. Right now you are only describing what it does. For something like lava magic that would be okay because we all know what lava looks like to some degree. But Reaper magic isn't a natural phenomenon so we need some info on how it manifests.

-My fellow staff will probably feel better about this magic type if the stamina "damage" is "sealed" instead of "damaged" and by that I mean that you simply lock that stamina resource away from the player for something like 5 posts. You can even have the 5 post counter reset each time you hit them.

I won't require that change, but soon I will no longer be admin. If my predecessor would prefer you make that change, please be cooperative.

Edited

'The caster is not immune to the effects however if they were to create an AOE ability based around this they two would age.'
Don't forget to change this sentence X-X. It still mentions the age effect.

You'll need to specify the amount of stamina it seals depending on the tier.

changed

Why did the values go up so much, wasn't it supposed to be half the cost of your spell that gets sealed?

Also, I'm leaving the rest of the grading to this up to my mods. If they want to nerf the 5 posts duration, or the amount sealed, or anything else, please co-operate with them.

Ok! But lol Hannah wanted me to put Values so I just ended up putting the Values on there.

I think it would be more reasonable to start at locking 5 stamina for D-Tier and have a 5 stamina increase. So Omega tier spells would lock 25 stamina.

Also, just know you can't create D-Tier or C-Tier spells with combo magic. They are too simple for complex magic like combination magic.

There needs to be a balance because then I'm losing more Magoi than I'm sealing and it wouldn't be effective to anyone higher

Basically what your saying is put B- tier Stamina Sealing at 5 when other b-tiers have their stamina way higher than that there has to be some sort of balance. Magicians yes would be the ones most affected by this but you have to see this from all perspectives not saying that you arent. Its just that there needs to be a balanc where I can benefit off of it and where the enemy isn't completely fucked~

B-tier Reaper magic would seal 15 stamina based on what is being said. Half the cost of the spell you are using.

Since you are dealing normal spell damage AND sealing stamina, I'd say you are getting plenty of bang for your buck. Once again, PLEASE co-operate with the mods.

Ah ok I thought she meant i was only sealing 5. apologies!

Edited accordingly

So I talked to the other mods and we decided 4 posts for the locking would be good. Other than that, I'm pretty sure everything else has been brought up by the rest of the mods. So unless they have something else to say, once you've changed the duration of the locking, it should be good to go (with a few small grammatical edits because I am a grammar nazi who is trying to keep herself from overdoing it).

I'm fine settling it at 4

Alright, I approve the combo~

[i]Whenever the caster damages an enemy with this type of magic, the enemy not only takes a hit physically but by having the life magic increase the spread of lactic acid in the body, artificially increasing fatigue, seals the enemy's stamina in the process.

The amount of stamina sealed is based upon the spell's tier. It lasts for 4 posts. Then the stamina that was sealed can be used once more. The caster is not immune to the effects, however. For example, if they were to create an AOE ability using Reaper magic, they too would be affected by the stamina seal. More stamina is sealed each time an enemy is hit with a Reaper spell. The cooldown is refreshed back to 4 posts every time the enemy is hit.

When a being is affected by Reaper Magic, they gain a sinister black glow around them. When cast, it looks like a black miasma with glowing green specs flying about randomly like fireflies trapped in an inky, black cloud.

Amount of stamina sealed per tier:

Omega-Tier= 25 Stamina
A-Tier= 20 Stamina
B-Tier= 15 Stamina[/i]
