oh, thanks ellen!

Sanity, I like how someone actually realizes the difference between rituals and spells besides me and a group of others. It's promising. And yes, I can agree that rituals take much longer to setup than spells, as multiple spells may be in a ritual. The method for ressurecting a character is an example of a ritual.

^My proposed way to do an area teleblock is a ritual. It's one of the most complicated rituals there are. "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."

^Yeah, I once was roleplaying in Ardougne, and a guy does a one turn charge, with the description "casts an area teleblock, teleblocking the whole area." I laughed OOC'ly, as all someone would have to do was run a few feet away and avoid the issue.

Otherwise, I fixed the absences and presences of needed or unneeded long comment signs, so that's finished.

While making the thread again, I aimed to put around 1500 characters in each post that had part of the table of contents, instead of 2000. Why? Because I'll actually make the table of contents have numbers in them. I should get around to this sometime >in the next two years.<

EDIT: Now I got it, I've finished the table of contents additions. You can now locate what subject is where much more quickly.

ncanning, GTFO! In fact, I think I recognize you as well. Get out, we don't want your kind here.

Achilles! Welcome! Now, you ask about Soul Magicks... unfortunately, I'm only semi-knowledgeable on that.

Soul magicks involves casting spells that affect an enemy through their soul and the manipulation of your own. A certain roleplayer has given such branch of magicks a very foul taste, and as such I don't expect to see many people, even the better roleplayers, using it.

Reanimation, as well as soul binding, are two examples soul magick. However, these are often tied into necromancy, although someone who practiced Soul magicks entirely would be superior at this, being able to hold a reanimation spell for longer periods of time and being able to manipulate someone's feelings with even more ease and skill, for example. Another thing you could do would be to attack someone with a charged bolt of magic that would affect their soul in such a way that they would feel a certain emotion, although pain is excluded for various reasons. However, the way the aforementioned roleplayer who is allegedly starting a new leaf used Soul magicks is illegitimate, as the upper spells of Soul magicks reaches the realm of power where one would have to wield the power of a god. In other words, godmodding.

As I said, I'm only semi-knowledgeable in the sense of my not knowing the full limits of Soul magicks, as well as the boundaries of such. (The basic ones, yes, the thin-line ones, not as much. Which is why I have yet to include such in this guide.)

So, if you wish to provide me with some example scenarios, I should be able to give you an accurate answer on whether the example casting would be legitmate or not.

In my personal opinion, soul magic should be avoided ENTIRELY. It just feels wrong to me, and always has. "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."

yeah, they can't eject someone's soul from their body in that manner. You can only do that to yourself, the most prominent form being through the Reanimation spell. Otherwise, you can only affect someone /through/ their soul, not take it. "Soul siphoning" is a godmod and entirely illegitimate, and even if one was to do it through performing a ritual, not a spell, it'd still be darned near impossible.

If you look at the part in this thread, and look at the charge time for the various evels of power, realize that such a powerful spell would demand far more charge time than I guarantee you the person did for that godmod. Such a thing would in fact be a ritual, not a spell, meaning they'd have to use extensive preparation in adance, and you'd have to have been incapitated for it to work. As demonstrated in the ritual for revival, even the slightest disturbances in the area can be lethal to the person who acs as the conduit and coordinator for all of the magic energy involved.

In all honesty, you would have almost every right to blacklist this person. While the person I believe you are talking about is indeed making slow progress as shown by their gradual changes, I'd advise a temporary blacklisting, although this itself could go on for a rather long time.
