If you search it up, there is pretty much a goddess of paper in Greek mythology. I feel like this should be a good enough reason for Vetex to do something right for once. As for ink magic, I don’t have a good enough reason to bring it back, but it was lowkey fire. Plus, it would bring back the scribed effect. And if for some ungodly reason they don’t get added as lost magics, I will make sure to throw as big of a tantrum a straight man can without looking weird.
edit: I will literally recreate Hiroshima on the US if this goes unnoticed by big boy vetex
Paper’s biggest weakness would probably be either low damage and/or the worst clashing rates in the entire game, and slash could eliminate the latter problem
if paper keeps that speed, then it’ll have a tp reflex, since any magic with 1.3x speed or more gets a tp reflex (light, lightning, wind, and now plasma since it briefly got buffed to have 1.3x speed, but they reverted it and decided to let plasma keep the tp reflex)
Ink magic is extremely good looking, and it also makes sense, because ink is a substance excreted by squids, so it would fit the sea theme of AO.
Also, paper would probably be rebranded to papyrus magic, to make it more “organic”.
