i probably missed something and this is just stupid as fuck. please do correct me if something’s wrong.
our characters have golden ichor, the blood of gods. i’m kinda assuming but i think the gods used magic normally, without spell circles and they probably didn’t die from it/died from using all their life force. might we at some point in the story get be able to cast spells from our soul, but without the repucussions? i feel like this could be a cool power up, even if it’s only visual.
again, probably just something stupid and full of assumptions, but uh, if somewhat right i feel like casting without the circles could be a cool thing. and would really show us more about how it is to have golden ichor, other than just being more powerfull
If gods could cast magic without Circles infinitely, they would be unstoppable, Primitive Magic is instant, and can do insane things. So even the gods had their limits clearly, since they died. Also it would be absolutely lore and game breaking for us to cast magic without Circles infinitely. Additionally we can be the legacy of the gods without directly having ichor. We can be a philosophical legacy, after all, Poseidon does say “The strongest will of all legacies”, meaning they are probably multiple legacies. If we were actually directly related to him wouldn’t he say “The strongest of all wills, my legacy” or something?
There was also a very interesting theory that I saw a while ago, it basically stated that maybe the way Prometheus gave human magic is by linking them to him in some way, possibly by giving them ichor, linking them by blood. So when Prometheus’s power was boosted, the human’s power in return was boosted too troughout that link.
Another theory also stated Aurem might be crystalized Ichor, since Aurem litteraly means gold in latin, and Ichor is golden blood. It’s indeed weird that such quantities of this gemstone was found inside temples, aren’t sacrifices often made in temples?
Hmm, I feel like its implied that the Vitality route is already kind of based off of the primitive way of casting magic, implied by the dash description for Vitality (it was described as some ancient technique).
Honestly, Id feel like it would be very limited if MC does have some kind of special ability from their bloodline. (Lime exclusive abilities based off fo the Gods they’re descended from, like Percy Jackson or something)
Not saying that they wont, its actually pretty possible imo, but if they use some special ability like parting the sea (cause Poseidon), itd probs only be done through some story cutscene rather than actually allow the player itself to actually do it.
Primitive Magic doesn’t decrease a users lifespan in the sense it makes them age faster, that would be stupid, it’s directly said Primitive Magic takes a toll on your soul, wich causes you to die obviously
tho tbf they most likely did have limits, like Zeus with lightning and Poiseidon with ocean stuffs, basically only what they have shown to be capable of in mytho
primitive magic most certainly did not have ( a noticable anyway ) effect on their body/soul like on humans tho
its also worth mentioning that god’s souls are basically immortal and the only thing they need is time, so its fair to say that their souls were much, much stronger than ours
i doubt we would be able to do that since we possess like, 0.001% of their blood at most since they’ve been dead for like a thousand years… unless our parents is one of those long lived wizards that have been around when they were still alive, then yeah we might be able to do that
still, i dont see we doing anything like that anytime soon due to the fact that stat builds exist… unless primitive magic could also be used on weapon/fighting style ig ( spirit weapon can more or less be considered primitive magic already since its literally soul )
well as i said, i dont think primitive magic took a toll on neither their body or soul, there’re just a limited amount of things they can do with it ( dont expect poiseidon to start manipulating lava and causing meteor to drop down for example )
if thats what you meant then mb, i thought you meant they died from using too much primitive magic
Humans using Primitive Magic could teleport, clone and do telepathy as stated by Vetex, and that’s probably only some things they could do. There’s definitely a limit by toll
lol yeah, kinda forgot other classes my bad. they could probably have something cool showing how they used more their soul, for magically enhancing their stuff. but ig we are already kinda getting that with the vitality path.
God magic isn’t the same as magic used by mortals. They never used or needed to use magic circles, those were invented by mortals to compensate for their weaker souls.
Gods just manipulate the world itself. Poseidon can control the seas and cause earthquakes and cataclysms. Zeus has complete dominion over the sky, etc. Their spirit is immense, and it can even allow them to resurrect after death.
I don’t think we know if their powers take a toll on their soul. Poseidon used the last of his power to give us a massive boost, and he later evaporated, so it might be that their soul is just so vast that regular use of their power does almost nothing to it.
The mutations that were classified as god magic have been retconned, but gods still have their own unique “magic”, or powers that mortals can’t understand or use.
Calling it “god magic” is just to be quick and simple, since not everyone knows about what mutations were anyways.
