didn’t the player only arrive when the battle was already over? i know AR has a prometheus boss fight but i’m pretty sure they did that just because they felt like they wanted a sort of finale to the third sea
Yeah, the player arrives near the end of the battle before Theos defeats prometheus
would be cool to see the curse somehow de-age theos and then he becomes the new pk
it was actually stated at some point that a death curse wouldn’t exist, because it wouldn’t make sense for you to be able to transform into “death”. that was retconned, as shown very plainly by the fact that morden literally is the death curse bearer.
as for the lazarus curse, i think external curses just don’t let your transform. valencia couldn’t just turn herself into shockwaves if necessary (i think??)
The hell you read that lol?
Fucker doesn’t know what lost and ancient magics are 
Lazarus is an external curse they do not grant the same abilities and I believe still allow you to safely touch irradiated seawater (may be wrong on this one point) they do things such as allow you to revive stronger if you’re lucky or control the tides (make seawater move which is very good when used as a super curse in conjunction with an internal elemental curse)
iirc The Energy Curse wasn’t simply unlimited energy/mana, you could actually do DBZ stuff with it from like an old drawing vetex made

Bro had a metamancing self synergy
Lazarus isn’t an element. There is a difference between Elemental Curses and External Curses. I think Elemental generally follows more of the Laws of nature. Which would be why a death and cloud curse exist.
fuck off
sorry, i’m a dragonball fan, i can’t read
and i don’t remember seeing anything talking about death and etc as ancient magics in the lore doc/trello (it only lists scorch and electron)
i COULD probably try to scour the AR wiki or a youtube video or something for a list but…
no. either vetex wants to reveal how all that works throughout the course of AO or he’s just so unorganized that it’s not worth trying to find out all the old shit from AA
i’m guessing that was well before this
i wasn’t keeping myself entirely up to date throughout the 2+ years of development which is probably on me but whatever
According to this qna thing, External curses were created by the gods, then they decided to experiment the curses by giving one to a human. One example is Freedrock being given the Lazarus curse.

ok might be one of my favs now thank you for this info
The only known externals are shockwave, Lazarus, vector and absorption right?
Also would the time curse owned by sond fall under that category as well?
reconned
also retconned, both of them ( you knew this already tho, didnt you ? )
growth curse is also an external curse, even tho its basically just plant magic on steroid ( then again, same with things like death flare and various other )
I think Sond having the time curse was retconned. I’m not sure if the vector curse is canon, and the growth curse may as well be an external curse.
(nvm the vector curse was retconned)
Vetex said it was elemental apparently
I didn’t know Vector was retconned as a curse. And I’m just gonna pretend time was never retconned because I hate why it was retconned
fcking Vetex and his retcon smh
retconned
you can, its just harder since your curse energy is conflicting with your magic element (unless you have an external curse, which the energy curse is)
You sure about this? Cursebeards could transform into pure energy and fly away+energy was a planned lost magic
