The Arcane Universe is... pretty bleak ngl

it’s on a google doc somewhere

it mentions how mages can theoretically learn infinite magics so therefore minds no longer exist

Here’s my contribution to trying to get back on topic: the bleakness for the AU in the seven seas at the very least comes to an end with the PK. Not only will they be getting rid of curses like you said in the original post but they also raise Magius so that everybody doesn’t have to live on some isolated island plagued by tsunamis, sea monsters, etc.

And idk if this s gonna be canon still but tech also said that the PK also removes the magic energy polluting the world with the Absorption curse, so I guess the people of Magius (and everybody else in the world) don’t have to wait hundreds of years for it to dissipate naturally now, hooray!

Idk how the war seas are gonna end up tho, good luck to them

Yeah the only real limit is that it becomes harder to learn new magics as you unlock more

I do not remember that bit at all, and I read through the lore doc a bunch of times ngl.

uh huh but no one seems to have a problem with genetic stuffs in pretty much every other verse (jjk for example, gojo was born the strongest and everyone fucking loves him for some reason)

Exact lore is in a weird state rn, but if you’ve seen Vetex’s messages on stuff I wouldn’t count on minds staying non-canon, or spirit energy levels staying tied to someone’s ability to use magic. Also the superhuman-ness of a zerker and mage are pretty different to say the least. Enhanced physical capability and very very minor control over magic, relative to mages at least, is not the same as what mages do.

Trying to act like the superhuman nature of berserkers and magic-users are the same is very disingenuous to say the least. Just because the limits for humans in this setting aren’t the same as real life doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

Anyways that’s the last thing I’m saying on this if everyone could keep it on topic from here on out I’d be really grateful.

I don’t like jjk tbh but that’s another topic for later

alr
uh i wouldnt want to imagine what else could happend other than some mad boy getting most menacing curse with very high potential floor and being able to steal magic (which is at his centuries were like guns with inf ammo) and just nuking whole continent after couple of years in the battle against phoenix curse user,
let alone dark sea… Imagine becoming a fish (or a ghost) just because you ended up in place that gods didnt expected to exist…

yea ok and mages just live longer and for basically no reason can use aura “better” (when nothing is stopping a zerker from doing the same thing)

you’re really selling the feats that zerkers can do quite short

its not just jjk its a shit ton of other stuff but you get what i mean, people are having a row about it for ao but simultaneously have no issues with it elsewhere

Is magius still canon? I thought all of wom just got wiped from existence entirely. But if it will still get raised yeah that’s nice. A big continent with room for more people that’s harder to travel over would definitely be nice.

I feel like this whole topic is kinda pointless. Aura is the fighters using what little magic energy they can muster to perform tasks that are easy for a magic user (iron coating, raising your temp for heat attacks, water attacks etc). Which is why they will always be at a innate disadvantage.

i dont think so

Dude I don’t care anymore if you can wrap your head around it or not just stop whining about it and talk about something else

I’m ngl like, I don’t like RNG based power systems

I think the reason that other systems work is because even though there’s RNG involved, there’s still ways to level out the playing field, whereas with AO it’s just “you can shit out some fake magma or you can’t and now you’re doomed to become fodder”

gank won

this is why opm is peak trust

This is why One Piece is peak fiction

Also didn’t Vetex say the top 10-20 are magic users? Obviously the physicals mfs are not the strongest, but they’re still at a respectable level in the hierarchy of power in AO. This JJK mindset is crazy

Ok well if you’re gonna be like that

There literally is though I already told you them. They can still become extremely powerful and then at that point taking a curse or spirit weapon would be within the realm of possibility for them. Prior to that they can still compete with magic-users at the same level. Why are you acting like you weren’t told that a matter of minutes ago?

Does it just not count for some reason?
