Early Poll! Marvelous Mage (Poll)
Added 2025-01-22 03:14:15 +0000 UTCHello everyone! So, this week's poll is all about the bonus subject William gets at the start of this recharge cycle. I am running it early so people get enough time to vote for it since it will be happening pretty soon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arcane Focus Creation: An arcane focus makes casting and holding spells easier, as well as costing less mana. The first level is basic creation, taking simple materials and combining them with basic rituals to make low-end arcane focuses. The second level is more complicated, with multistage rituals, complicated crafting and more powerful results, with specific benefits (element attunement, even cheaper casting, easier wordless casting.) Third level includes some more esoteric and strange creations, including mixing some clockwork into designs, as well as really pushing what a "focus" might be. This subject only has three levels.
Druidcraft: (First and Second Level) - Allows for control and influence of plant life. At level one its basic plant care and buffs directly affecting the plants. Level two includes more direct control, but requires the plant or seed to exist in the first place. Level three would include creating plants from "nothing" as well as creating plant combinations that don't exist in nature. The fourth level would include things like plant golems with slightly more intelligence, like spriggans or treants.
Weather Magic: High-powered, previously cut subsection of rituals used to change the weather. Level one would provide rituals that can slightly adjust the weather, making it a few degrees cooler or hotter, or making the rain slightly harder or lighter. Level two increases the efficacy and gives them ways to encourage certain weather to happen later, IE, in a few days or so. Level three increased potency further and can set the weather a day in advance.
Familiar Magic: Magic involving the finding, binding, utilizing, and enhancing a mage's familiar. At level one, the magic to find and bind your familiar, as well as complete simple tasks as communicating and bonding with them (bonding increases compatibility and communication). Level two allows more advanced abilities and provides rituals to improve (make stringer faster smart) your familiar.

Originally went with weather magic cause I liked the idea of him downsizing it to make pocket cloud spells but it looks like the votes leaning a certain way so I want Familiars. Useful ,sometimes adorable and an extra body for the team, also the potential of him maybe giving some to others is always tempting.

2025-01-25 18:59:05 +0000 UTCI vote familiar. Druidcraft sounds good on paper but even if it gave him poison ivy level skills, big roots and vines cause a ton of damage. He’d bet very limited on when he could go all out. Granted he could do smaller scale stuff like creating pollen grenades that put people to sleep.

2025-01-22 14:03:18 +0000 UTCNo, druidcraft in this case does not include animal stuff
Robert Meta
2025-01-22 13:58:50 +0000 UTCI would PERFER a familiar. But nailing out and finishing druidcraft just to get it out of the way would be nice. You’re already REALLY leaning that way anyway. I’m still voting familiar though. Druidcraft is cool and all. But that’s been the main focus for a LONG time. After this, something new would be neato

2025-01-22 11:36:42 +0000 UTCI would normally go with Druidcraft but with the whole Biotinker stigma in Earth Bet I think it's still too early for it.

2025-01-22 07:22:17 +0000 UTCNormally I'd say weather, but it's rituals. Druid Craft on the other hand can be powerful as fuck given enough power shoved in to it. He could literally Poison Ivy his way to victory given enough time. Grow Golden Apples granting super healing and immortality, acidic vines capable of melting brutes. All kinds of shit really. He could turn that little patch he's got in to an impenetrable fortress. On the down side, Piggy will absolutely lose her shit if she finds out he can bio tinker plants.

2025-01-22 05:30:28 +0000 UTCWould level 3 of weather magic let him prevent Leviathan from forcing it to rain, because if so that would be extremely useful eventually

2025-01-22 04:32:39 +0000 UTCDruidcraft, let's finish it out and trigger Piggot's anxiety.
Vincent Mason
2025-01-22 04:30:02 +0000 UTChe would unlock the third level of druidcraft
Robert Meta
2025-01-22 04:26:42 +0000 UTCSo, would he unlock the third and/or fourth level, if he chose those ones?
Primordial_Will
2025-01-22 04:07:16 +0000 UTCDoesn't he already have the first few levels for "Druidcraft" and "Arcane Focus Creation" unlocked?
Primordial_Will
2025-01-22 04:04:43 +0000 UTCFamiliar magic sounds like a good choice, but buffing druidcraft further sounds even better
Alduinian
2025-01-22 04:02:51 +0000 UTCFinish out druidcraft as fast as possible, so we don’t have to come back to shit. Stamp it out, be done. And fuck off to better shit

2025-01-22 03:59:15 +0000 UTCI mean, you're not wrong...

2025-01-22 03:53:11 +0000 UTCI'm a simple man, go all in on familiar crafting until he gets Servants for the Waifus.
Bishop7053
2025-01-22 03:47:52 +0000 UTCto be fair, breathing too heavily might set off Piggot's paranoia

2025-01-22 03:26:10 +0000 UTCI voted for familiar, assuming that would help his non-corporeal allies
Cole Deucalion
2025-01-22 03:25:04 +0000 UTCIt's not like druids regularly craft blood-devouring eldritch monster plants to defend their forest...
Mr. Bigglesworth
2025-01-22 03:20:51 +0000 UTCI would normally be all for Druidcraft but I'm a little concerned about Piggot and any Biotinker worries
