WINTER4: /* Aerial Grapple */

=Aerial Grapple=
Can anyone provide some clarifying information on this attack? I seem to remember seeing somewhere that cloaks can help avoid damage on the fall, but that it might contest athletics? And do only certain types of wings work (i.e. back-worn vs general)?[[User:WINTER4|WINTER4]] ([[User talk:WINTER4|talk]]) 05:50, 24 September 2017 (CDT)

An adult wyvern swoops at you suddenly, trying to pick you up in its razor-sharp talons! 
You are suddenly snatched up by the adult wyvern's razor-sharp talons, and it flies to a dizzying height! The creature's intent becomes clear as it simply lets you go. You suddenly find yourself in freefall, plummeting toward the earth. 
Unfortunately as your athletics is low, you don't manage to find a way to slow your fall at all. 
You land hard on the ground with a *WHUMPH*. Several of your ribs shatter in your chest, and you feel the bones in your legs break in the fall. 
[You're badly hurt, winded, very badly balanced with opponent dominating.] 

Athletics 300. This resulted in about a 60 point drop in vitality (Stamina 100) and a very severe internal bleeder [[User:WINTER4|WINTER4]] ([[User talk:WINTER4|talk]]) 22:09, 1 March 2018 (CST)

An adult wyvern swoops at you suddenly, trying to pick you up in its razor-sharp talons!
You are suddenly snatched up by the adult wyvern's razor-sharp talons, and it flies to a dizzying height! The creature's intent becomes clear as it simply lets you go. You suddenly find yourself in freefall, plummeting toward the earth.
Acting on sheer desperation and instinct, you start flapping your leathern wings rapidly in an attempt to soften the inevitable landing. Remarkably, you do manage to slow your fall somewhat with your efforts.
You manage to land relatively softly, breaking your fall by tumbling forward on the ground, landing on your back. You feel new bruises swelling in your legs and chest where the ground hit you. However, you carry your momentum forward, somersaulting back onto your feet.
[You're hurt, winded, off balance with opponent in better position.]

Athletics 460. This resulted in a minor internal right leg bleeder that improved to slight over time. Drop in vitality was not severe. [[User:WINTER4|WINTER4]] ([[User talk:WINTER4|talk]]) 03:15, 14 February 2020 (CST)

>discern aethrolysis
Elementalist scholars know that everything in the Plane of Abiding contains a modicum of aether therefore, in theory, so must any visitors if they are to exist here. Hylomorphic sorcerers go beyond that theory and many others: remove enough of the visitor's aether, and it is suddenly naked amidst a hostile reality. A Holy-mana blend, the Aethrolysis spell conjures a compound of electricity and water that laughs at the rules of either, harmful to creatures of extraplanar origin.

This is a targeted spell, which must be TARGETed at a specific opponent. This spell does electricity and cold damage. It can be cast at other adventurers and at hostile creatures. It requires a minimum of two mana streams, and can expand to a maximum of fifty mana streams woven into it. To begin to be able to cast this spell, you will need to reach the rank of a promising novice. By the time you have mastered this spell, you will be ranked as a genius in your abilities as a caster. It requires the Targeted Magic skill to cast effectively. This spell has no prerequisites. It will also cost one spell slot.

Data provided by [[Bellicia]] - [[User:RY4NPW|padhg]] ([[User talk:RY4NPW|talk]]) 21:56, 25 June 2017 (CDT)

The self-damage from casting the spell will start as minor hits to vitality without any observable physical component or direct messaging. Several mid to high mana casts (3 or 4 casts at 20-40 mana) will begin to result in special messaging and slightly more significant damage, although still nothing directly concerning. I haven't seen the damage get higher than this, but I would guess the damage scales up fairly rapidly with both repeated casts and stronger ones. The low level vitality hits from repeated small casts will persist for roughly an hour of real world time, depending on usage factors. Will update if I gather more data about duration, relative mana levels, and decay rates [[User:WINTER4|WINTER4]] ([[User talk:WINTER4|talk]]) 01:01, 23 October 2017 (CDT)

The North Wind banshee is a spectral being, female in form. Her hands form sharp claws cabable of rending all matter, her own insubstantial being torn and wounded by her desperate self-mutilation. She moans and cries, her hair a dissheveled mop, her garments tattered to pathetic rags.

 The world blurs as a lesser North Wind banshee begins a horrid, torturous wailing.
