Arcane Symbiosis is a proposed magic system announced by [[GM Socharis]] on 12/14/2013. |
|||
<blockquote> |
|||
So another thing we've been bandying around backstage that I think we're going to go forward with is something we're calling Arcane Symbiosis.<br> |
|||
<br> |
|||
An Arcane Symbiosis is a very basic spell pattern that can be combined with another spell pattern. They reside in the same rough realm as the AP spells - patterns so simple that they work with every type of mana.<br> |
|||
<br> |
|||
To gain access to a symbiosis, you must perform [[Research|RESEARCH]]. To begin research on a symbiosis, you RESEARCH SYMBIOSIS [Symbiosis Name]. Once you've completed this research, you retain memory of that symbiosis and can activate it by using PREPARE SYMBIOSIS before casting another spell.<br> |
|||
<br> |
|||
When a [[Utility Spells|Utility]], [[Warding Spells|Warding]], or [[Augmentation Spells|Augmentation]] spell is cast after you've done PREPARE SYMBIOSIS, you gain the benefits of that Symbiosis. The catch is, Symbioses increase the difficulty of the spell you're casting dramatically.<br> |
|||
<br> |
|||
The effects of Symbioses fall in either the Warding or the Augmentation category. Some examples are 'Add an electrical resistance barrier' or 'Add a First Aid buff'. These buffs are weaker versions of the buffs that any particular spell has - Spells whose matrices have been exhaustively researched and optimized to be as effective as possible. Instead, you have access to a variety of different effects at lower power that can be added to a spell.<br> |
|||
<br> |
|||
If you cast a spell with a Symbiosis of a different skill than that spell, the spell becomes a hybrid spell and trains both skills (And is subject to the other Hybrid semantics too). |
