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”
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)
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.
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 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.
