A Mutation Chart Odyssey

okay even if we looked at it from a really goo goo ga ga surface level perspective it still doesn’t connect:

blue energy that just steals mana =/= dark black energy that hangs out near hot topic

light is a bit of a stretch but again, the term “wavelength of light” has wave in it, so, take that as you will.

pretty sure the status effect says something along the lines of “crystals are forming on your body, causing you to take more damage from something something bla bla bla”

Well, that’s odd.

I think adding a “maybe” marker is a fine compromise then. That’s more than enough from you when I already made it a maybe.

a compromise has been achieved, ladies and gentlemen

BUT WE ALREADY DID THAT BEFORE-

“hi christianward”

:sponge:

“Ah, it sure is nice making a hypothetical and debatable mutation chart for AO”

Really cool, but unfortunately Vetex retconned both ‘Minds’ and ‘Mutations’ in favor of Lost/Ancient Magic Scrolls so that they make sense lore-wise from a gameplay perspective.

Still, neat to see someone trying to adapt Mutations to AO! (In my personal world the Scrolls teach someone how to unlock a Mutation, since they have instructions for how you even get the magic specifically)

can we stop trying to say that earth and shit become gravity when like

they don’t???

while minds are still non-canon, scrolls are no longer a thing and mutations have been sort of re-retconned into canon. basically now you mutate either through a hecate shard or just naturally if your ancestry has a lost/ancient magic somewhere in it

On the topic of Wave, I feel that both light and shadow should be able to mutate to it. A description of the Wave Curse: “Wave is … a blue energy that pulls in magic energy allowing the user to siphon energy from their surroundings and others.”

Justifications,

  • Light is made out of electromagnetic waves and is a form of energy.
  • Shadow Magic already drains color away from things that it hits, so a shift to draining magic energy isn’t a big jump imo.

Oh, no longer scrolls for Lost/Ancient Magics? Mutations are back? How do you get a Hecate Shard?

Idk honestly.

Fixed.

We had a huge argument about that, and you just made the points of both sides, so good job.

i agree wave is potentially either light or shadow

I don’t get why its on water though, Vetex has gone out of his way to say more often than not that wave is not related to water whatsoever

yeah, the lore doc has all the updated info on it. honestly I think hecate shards are just kinda found around the world since hecate blew herself up for some reason

okay the more I look at this the more confusing these choices are for them

Acid with poison lightning??? Why is flash here??? Mud was deconfirmed so long ago why is it here still? Growth??? Are we making stuff up now randomly??

I mean, for mutations standards, it’s close enough in that right.

From water you could argue that water has waves, and all waves are simply the transfer of energy. That’s the best I got

I did poison lightning for acid because I pity it for lack of choices.
if Acid made sense, it’d have nothing in this world.
Flash is because you can clash certain magics and make a flash of light.
Growth… from the growth curse, also plant.
Mud deserves the spot, prove me wrong.
