…Those were bestowed upon people by gods.
It’s because of the greek gods that magic is even used in the first place (more specifically, Prometheus gave humanity magic)
no, you have to go out of your way to make a man made magic, you unlock three magics at birth, at an awakening, then a second awakening
yeah I know but can’t they just make magics since magics are pretty much copies of the real thing?
Yeah. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that humans make magic, since magic is considered to be in everything that has life.
i think it’s more likely that humans discover new magics instead of creating them
Light magic already got blinding, tons of speed, and a SUPER good conjurer magic. we dont have to give light more stuff. If anything, wind needs more stuff
well isn’t the basic of magic, circles and mind?
I guess science and math ate the milk and cookies I left out, as well as delivered my presents, instead of Santa Claus. These santa deniers have to be on something. Stop spouting these inane conspiracy theories.
i genuinely cant tell if these people think i seriously believe in santa lmao This server is full of geniuses…
BECAUSE it’s a base magic?
doesn’t that kind of imply aether and aethereal flame can heal?
also, are the boundaries between base, lost, and ancient magic really set in stone? Consider how in AA, plasma magic and flare magic are on the same tier of mutations, while in AO plasma magic is a base magic and flare magic is a lost magic. I know that AA and AO take place on opposite sides of the world but still.
Kinda just assumed that because of the whole “light not being able to heal” situation made me think you were probably a younger person.
base magics are the ones you are born with and can unlock by awakening, lost and ancient magics are magics you can learn
well, the war seas are much more magically advanced, and as such many magics may have become base magics through generations, with my theory being that magics are passed down bloodlines somewhat, meaning as lost magic users have kids, their kids may have their lost magic, eventually spreading so much that it simply becomes a base magic.
the reason why some magics are still “lost” or “ancient” is because either not enough people have found them and reproduced, is incredibly rare / hard to get so it doesn’t get passed through bloodlines much, or requires so much skill that by the time you have it you’ll probably be too old to have kids.
your point is fair, but also aethereal flame is kinda INCREDIBLY bright flames from what I remember and aether is just light but explosive
light magic being associated with fantasy support-archetype clerics is only a trope. it’s not a universal law across all fiction that involves magic, so this game for sure does not have to abide by the stereotype of “light magic = good person”
for example i could use light magic to completely blind the city of rubica and my ass would NOT be a good person
Holy light of allah وبإذن الله سيسلخ الهراطقة ويضربهم بنور الله المقدس
That raises the question, why does shadow give drained?
Minds were always there in humans, they were never created. Magic circles were a gift by Prometheus, to prevent people from killing themselves as they’d used magic w/ their souls.
Light =/= Life/Holy Light
it has nothing to do with healing
Phoenix is literally the biggest symbol of rebirth and life there is
no prometheus gifted humans magic, not magic circles. i think prometheus was dead long before magic circles became a thing
No not at all
none of these have healing properties because light does not inhernetly heal in the arcane universe.
Just because it works that way in other bits of media doesn’t mean it works like that in AO
Should the beams of light virtues attack you with in Ultrakill heal you? The Holy spell doesnt heal your enemies in final fantasy. Light is not inherently healing lol.
I mentioned it being a base magic because allowing one of those to work as a healing magic would make balancing hell.
