AO Lore and Magic issues considering Time period

Meaning he hasnt taken on the title of peacekeeper yet nor started erasing the countless curses that durza’s defeat had brought back into the world.

It states in the lore doc that after defeating Durza they earned the nickname “The Peacekeeper”, but yes Durza being defeated means there are tons of curses in the world again

Not to mention this is before the magical advancements of the WoM century. before mutations became standard elements, and before the 4th or 5th mind were discovered. meaning we have a little weird spot here that needs discussion.

There are no 4th or 5th minds, Lost and Primordial magics are learned through different means. This is what the lore doc states (note the last sentence)

@Jbyrd2003ab

That being said we have a interesting plot point to bring up. Considering the circumstances, Bringing unbound curses into the mix of what the players could use might be an interesting mechanic. I specify unbound because thats the only type that allows more than one user of a curse type.

Allowing players to get curses would just destroy the progression of the game and make things such as Lost/Primordial magics useless. Why learn those magics when you can hunt for Sea Curses?

@Jbyrd2003ab

We have a bigger issue on our hands, mutations. Multiple mutations are now regular elements, especially rare ones like plasma or magma. How do we explain this. Especially when currently we only have our first mind.

The War Seas are much more magically advanced than the Seven Seas due to the bloodlines of the region. Since it was near Mount Olympus, there have always been strong bloodlines and wizards in the region for hundreds of years, advancing magic to its limits.

@Jbyrd2003ab

Second, a person can only have 1 mutation as far as i know. When you choose your second mind however you could choose another mutation magic (magma, plasma). Not to mention how do you explain the 5 minds now?

Mutations do not exist in the War Seas

@Jbyrd2003ab

Third, certain “Lost Spell types” arent lost in this day and age, and are generally known as mutations.

Yes there are Lost Spells. The War Seas are a complete different side of the world, they don’t have everything the same as the Seven Seas. It just seems like you missed a lot of the points in the lore doc
