Most of the lost magics are basicish
Like frostmetal is litterly metal but applies freezing
Phoenix and sun are fire but better
Poison, Aether, and Ancient lightnings probably just have different effects and general stats
Only a few seem harder like probably growth, slash, or sound
I dunno sure vertex has some ideas for fresher magics but if 3 normal ish magics can get pumped out in a matter of hours even if a couple take a while for unique I assume all of them wont take more than like a week at max
I think vetex has said that most of the non-base magics would have a gimmick to 'em (Gravity’s reverse knockback comes to mind) so you might be onto something
Lost and Ancient magics are mostly just fusions of magics (Poison Lightning, Equinox), a lot of stats (Aether[prob size light], Diamond [Shatter for poor]), or smth finally unique like Oil or Gravity.
They are unique visualy, but if you think about it, only few are something unique.
Slash, Phoenix is first that comes to my mind when i think of unique lost magic.
Apocalypse Bringer, as cool as it is, is probably just stat magic, while Pressure is better Gravity
“Time to add a new lost magic!” Insert most other magics starving in the corner
“Oh! I know! I’ll make a new fire lost magic. Let’s make acidic fire this time.”
The nonchalant-ness of his answer to the first question is pretty funny. I guess the assassins must’ve been pretty discrete prior to getting into the mansion otherwise the GN would’ve definitely been ticked off.
What I’m getting from the spirit energy stuff is that spirit energy kinda just forces stuff to happen. Like it isn’t the lightning itself, but it makes lightning happen. Based on the wording about EP having a bit of Zeus’ power in it I’m guessing it kinda uses a very small portion of his authority over the sky and what not to make lightning happen.
Makes me wonder how spirit weapons for gods that have more abstract domains will work, like Artemis, Ares, Athena, etc. He already said the Staff of Nyx won’t be shadow magic but will have similar effects, but what kind of effects would be applied for the goddess of the hunt? Or the god of war? Maybe self buffs?
in lore doc it is said that some spirit weapon could alter their user spirit energy to permanently manipulate their own bodies
I don’t know what this ‘bodies manipulated’ means, but it’s probably the only way to make themself live longer, maybe? since spirit energy is some kind of life fore
Something like revert their own body back to their prime
