Today's scheduled updates for the Magic Encyclopedia:
-Correcting the tale of how the "new" and "elder" ancient magicks are used and other information, such as their origin and accepted lore around them in roleplay.
-Expanding of the Lunar section, a lack of detail being rather frustrating.
-Inclusion of the second possible way to roleplay your phylactery.
-Correction of the information about Liches.
-Correction of the information regarding the Abyss.
-Correction of the demons' allegiances.
-Correction about the magic core.
-Adding of the "--" (long comment sign) to paragraphs that go on from one post to another, so as to eliminate confusion that may transpire as your knowledge-hungry mind cajols along from one post to the next.
EDIT:-Including additional information about the Ikra, namely the founder.

Well, that's all for now.

mmm-hmmm... thanks cartenza. I wasn't in the group long enough to figure out every little detail, so that helps. I'll be sure to include that change later on as well, meaning with what should be today's updates if the computer I'm going to use for updating is fast enough.

Lore, I think you may want to talk to Lor about all that bidness.

Can't say I blame you if I don't.

^Sorry, I'm a curious guy who likes to interrupt things to satisfy his curiousity. By "bidness", you saying "business", as in "business regarding the Liches and phylacteries involved in necromancy?"

In my opinion, while I'll still be using the Phylactery and Lichdom concepts the way I leanred them from Lor, I think that Lore Godess' idea is also balanced in the aspect of how easy it would be to eliminate the Lich from the battlefield. In my opinion, it makes them weaker as a battle magician simply unsheathes their sword, inserts vasts amounts of magical energy, and then makes a huge swing at the "thread" and thus cuts it. The Lich is then screwed. However, I wouldn't be surprised if Lor caught something about this that I didn't. I'm simply not as great about things as I make myself out to be.

The "thread" itself is invisible, and intangible. It gives off a light "aura" as per a magic core, and can be detected only like that. You can still take out a lich from normal means. When my lich was killed, I stopped using them for an RL month while they regenerated. Say what you will. "There is no Good or Evil, no Light or Dark, Order or Chaos. Just knowledge and your own ability to know when to stop. And if you knew when to stop, you'd never achieve the impossible."

and yes, bidness does indeed means business. It's just one of the many quirks of being me.

I also use another type of magic for a specific character: rituals. As in the whole deal. Basically, my opinion on them is they can be made far more diverse than a standard spell, but they take forever and a half to create. Some rituals require you to create a circle, some require a blood sacrifice. It all varies, and the variables amount to infinite possibility.

That said, rituals are so complicated she couldn't do nigh on any of them without consulting with her books. They're basically useless for a fight, unless you can set them up beforehand. They make for great traps, however. "There is no Good or Evil, no Light or Dark, Order or Chaos. Just knowledge and your own ability to know when to stop. And if you knew when to stop, you'd never achieve the impossible."
