Vivaduans and whirans both get shields. Rukkians, krathis, drovians, and elkrosians get weapons.

Every single guild can donate their "magick force" into some weird root thing that turns it into a weapon from their element. I seriously think the command is 'donate' or some shit. These roots came from the Akeita Var originally but I'm not sure. Regardless these AREN'T the actual weapon spells they are a totally separate thing and if you have the root you donate the magick and it turns into the weapon. Eventually it falls apart back into the root and you have to re-imbue it again. |

What is the Akeita Var? Also you can cast wielding these roots? Do they work like regular summon weapons as in just based on offense and do decent damage? Lastly whiran and vivaduan magickal shields can still shield block things right? This is stuff I'll never see or experience with my boring mundane roles so I love hearing about it at least.  |

ATV was a clan of elves east of Tuluk. They had a preserver becoming an Avangion in their camp. Prety badass stuff but as usual they never used the NPC for anything he just stood there flying in one of the tents. PCs were "apprenticed" to him also preservers but I'm sure they were never really allowed to do anything. ATV were very passive in general and killing ppl hunting in the grasslands was frowned upon by the staff and players alike.

The root you speak of, is the magickal weapon created at mon power, delerak. If you cast a magick weapon/shield on sul and lower, the item created is temporary.
Mon items have two descriptions. The magickal one, and mundane one. So for example, a fiery sword can be ... a walking stick. You donate mana into it, and you've got yourself a fiery sword.
Those sdescs vary. One of them is root looking.

Boring and mundane roles are the best in my opinion. Contrary to popular belief I very rarely played anything above 1 karma. I've at one point had an account with karma up to 5 and never used it. I've never played a half-giant or a mul, and I've only ever played 1 rukkian and a few vivadu. My favorite magicky guild is viv just because of their extreme usefulness to independents who need water.

I'm curious too so if a rukkian makes a permanent weapon and sells it to a vivaduan, the vivaduan can imbue it and use it? And vise vera too with shields?

Hah. It's even worse. A mundane upon char gen, is given the maximum of his potential mana. So if your wisdom is high enough for a mundane to have 100 mana. It means he's got 100 mana. He doesnt regenerate it and has no ways to spend it, but he does have the mana. So if the mundane gets ahold of a magickal weapon that is spent, he could potentially donate his own mana and activate it. Granted, he could only do it twice, since it takes 50 mana and forever more, it wont happen.
Granted that's very twinky. Since how would mundane know how to do it. But codedly? It's possible. So yes, if a Rukkian casts his magick weapon on mon and makes a permanent weapon. He can give it to whomever he likes and they can use it. Keep in mind, while creating magicak weapons on sul and lower requires no component, mon ones require one. And it's a rare one.

Yes. It was looked at as being overpowered when a group of gemmed would get together and do this, and often templars would 'collect' these permanent items, along with enchanted rings. That's why it's now illegal for gemmed to make permanent items. It used to be that you didn't need to donate mana to make them come to life, and you would get, according to what I was told, warriors and whoever else running around with them and being -way- overpowered, and as a solution to that, they made the weapons and shields items that withered back to mundane and required mana donation to curtail it, so that you could only donate however much mana you were born with into the things and never have your mana regenerate, so after a time, the item becomes useless unless you're a magicker or sorcerer.

That sounds pretty crazy powerful. Even if it is 'stuff in your bag next to your spice' illegal. Finding that rare mon component sounds like a fun challenge too Magicker power ceiling seems pretty high once you think about it. |

It really is. And heads up... you can donate a lot less than 50 mana to activate one of those items... so any magicker you run into could potentially have a magick weapon -and- magick shield of some sort tucked away. Probably something to think about before making 'mage killer pcs'. Mage killers honestly kind of annoy me because I don't get how anyone justifies that kind of death wish in a world where no one is -supposed- to be suicidal, unless it's just people out to squish 1 day played magickers, which... I think it's bad form to be out to kill any guild just because they're x guild and have little enough time played that you know you can take them. I can understand wanting to kill -specific- magickers, or -specific- anyone, Inigo Montoya's grudge style, but that's all just personal opinion, and please feel free to take it with a grain of sand/salt.
