Some of the magics don’t even make sense universe-wise though
Vetex already tried changing class names because they don’t align with what the universe would use
I am sure as hell that it is not very immersive to have an NPC mage say “Yes, I have very high fame so I was able to defeat that dude with massive bounty pretty easily, he lost all his renown too”
I have no idea how, for example, balance magic would be explained
Oh and then we come to aether lightning, poison lightning, phoenix (windy fire), blaze (firey lightning) etc., all of which have their own curses
where is balance magic a confirmed magic aside from some long deleted list that isnt accurate anymore
This magic is just a concept from a list that got removed. Criticizing it like it is for certain canon is kinda an unfair criticism to say the least. That said with stuff like spirit energy changing color based on how merciful or ruthless they are I’d imagine a magic that measures that kinda energy wouldn’t be that hard. Might have to be reworked to be based off that choice instead of fame and bounty to make more sense, but then again it’s dubiously canon at absolute best so using it critique the lore is kind of a waste of time anyways.
Aside from balance, which is again dubiously canon at best, what magics are you talking about?
I’m a little confused, is this about the number of magics again, or not making sense? I’m guessing the number cause you mentioned them all having their own curses. In that case again still not that many in the grand scheme. I know a number somewhere around the realm of 100(though probably less) seems large, but in the grand scheme even with the reduced population of the world 100 is still not a lot. Especially not when curses first came around which is the timeframe I was talking about with stocksounds.
Well, if that is how vetex will be making magics, we can immediately assume the existance of at least 410 elemental curses
This now being criticism on Vetex’s lack of innovativity, yet persistence on making up new magics, leading to those being only sloppy fanchildren of base magics
What? Ok genuinely what you’re saying feels like a pretty massive leap from what we were just talking about. If anything it kinda feels like you’re making a bad faith argument here and just assuming things are gonna go in this odd terrible direction without really much evidence. I just fail to see how anything we’ve talked about has even given you the notion at this point that somehow there’d be even over 100 magics.
Simple pattern noticing
Poison lightning
Frost metal
Aether lightning
Explosive light (aether)
Burning lightning (blaze)
If vetex continues like this, there is 380 possible combinations, and 20 base magics, and then the other magics
Dude obviously you’ve seen the old lists of future magics since you brought up balance magic. There’s no way you don’t know that there was obviously no intention of making a combination of every single base magic. Especially when those magics you’ve mentioned were already on that list.
Haters gonna hate

I want Poison Lightning and Aether Lightning to be retconned and replaced by the Magic combination thing.
I mean that thing is just for one spell like an ultimate art so it wouldn’t exactly be the same, but I can agree those are some of the least interesting of the combination lost magics that could probably do with being replaced.
Maybe if they were renamed, like Contamination Magic for Poison Lightning, Smite Magic for Aether Lightning.
Honestly the names do kinda play a big factor, I dunno know if I would go with that name for poison lightning, but I for sure would like it a lot better with a unique name like than instead of the plain straightforward one it got. Then again outside of the removed list did either of them have any canon mentions? Cause if not they might either not exist anymore or go by different names.
And give them a wee more personality than just “this is lightning but it’s also poisonus”
I’m pretty sure it was also stated to give Arthur infinite stamina, which is probably why people thought it wasn’t elemental. Kinda like how people might think that the tide curse giving Arthur the ability to control the ocean makes it non-elemental, even though it is.
I’m aware, that’s the same reason I used to think it was experimental until it was confirmed that it wasn’t plus being shown that it could shoot lasers which means it actually something someone could turn into and thus an elemental curse.
