How would you fix AO's power system?

oh wow 100 messages :partying_face:

He wasn’t, even in his now-probably-non-canon Journal, his family was only once targeted by assasins when Neviro was 6, sent by Calvus who was trying his best to eradicate those bum genes from the planet.

Fortunately though, they managed to kill his father, so they couldn’t make another Neviro.

HELLO RUPIN MENTIONED I LOVE SEEING RUPIN GLAZE :FACEHOLDINGBACKTEARS: THATS MY GOAT

anyways there really is no important lore reason to keep chaos and creation other the fact that its greek mythology but. you could literally replace all the greek gods with oc gods and it wouldn’t make a single difference because its shoe-horned in quite oddly and. badly

Now that I think about it your kinda right. You could swap this with any mythology and there wouldn’t actually be too many differences as long as they have some key ones like a god of magic. The greek side of AO is kind of not present outside how some things are named.

even this literally does not matter because the only reason hecate is important in lore is her shoe-horning into the new lore rewrite + gameplay reasons (change your magic!)

literally yes :sob:

Prob a result of most of the greek stuff being planned for the Dark Sea

like. old lore just had prometheus. hecate wasn’t even mentioned as a One-off line they just added that shit

I feel like a smoother change would have been to just have Hecate and Prometheus work together.
Prometheus is connected to gifting fire to humans, but also foresight, which could in a way mold him into more of a herald-of-new-era character. Giving humans the gift of fire, aiding Olympians against Titans, and finally giving humans the power of magic.
Hecate, meanwhile, could be sort of like a mentor to him, the brains behind the operation in a way.

It would actually allow both to keep a reasonable degree of importance in the lore, instead of Hecate just being a nuisance that has to be fixed to ensure consistency.

aren’t large pieces of hecate holding back the dark sea so that Abyss Sea doesn’t happen?

^^ essentially what blue said

alas, her addition is a complete afterthought to lore

Imma be so for real with you for a moment, that feels like one of the most last-minute additions to the lore vetex made

Maybe, though I wouldn’t be for sure since it was just revealed. Vetex is trying to make Hecate’s shattering seem very important though such as Hecate Shards being how you get lost magics, what I said earlier, and prob one more thing I’m forgetting rn.

i miss mutations, guys. i miss them alot. i’ll be back. /reference

Hecate’s essence? The thing that he was extremely against adding, even though the community was begging for a QoL to change their first magic, because it contradicted his otherwise seamless lore?

It’s a decent reason why the dark sea just avoids sea clusters for no reason when it literally acts a netruon star with the degree of outputed of magic radiation

Yeah your right then. I didn’t even know about that lol

Creation is an OC.

Mutations still exist, and is still the canonical way of how you make Lost Magic. Hecate Shards instead became the way to invent new Magic types, and the in game way for us to mutate (though we’re supposed to have every mutation, so that most likely explains it).

Neviro is so forgettable I mixed him up with Nero
