Read Plant Magic

>>31517141
8 plant magic votes were easy to spot due to greentext. There was one which wasn't greentext so I missed it.

Plant magic was supposed to have majority with 9 votes but 2 of the votes came a bit after the counting.

[1/?]
“And about her father? Overlord Darklies?”, you continue. This, the Mage doesn't answer immediately.

“A mighty monarch is the Darklies who chose the name Ignus
Strong as a bear, smart as a ferret
He is the best of the dozens who ruled over us.
However, and this is not a secret
He lacks a certain style, when Magic is used
Yet his power is enormous, his skills at their best
He cares about his lands, his family is loved
Of his qualities, there is no contest!”

He then stops talking, staying silent and perfectly still. You can see he is concentrating as the boat start to turn to the right.

While he does this, you open your book about the Doomlands' custom. You nearly reached the end, but there is still the chapter on ranks and governmental positions to read. As you start, you learn that the ones considered the absolute best at something earn the title of [Insert name of the thing here]master. It is apparently a relatively recent change, as it was a tradition of the kingdom of Pallando, who was among the firsts to fall to Darklies's invasions, but it was only officialised ten years ago.

As you turn a page, Eurus's voice reaches your ears once again. It surprises you when his words are devoid of rhymes or of the sound of wind, allowing you to hear with perfect clarity: “Young Prince, the Dark Shard!”

>>31517097
>>31517193

It's not been established yet. It could be anything.

Also, it's botanomancy

>>31517403
I vote summoning

>>31517540

So, where are the choices? Do we just pick? Say hi to the prince.

>>31517540
Only if we can summon non-living things. Summon a shit load of water to drown someone, summon a weapon, etc.

>>31517582
I vote for this.

>>31517540
Either that or magic that allow us to create things.

>>31517582
I also want summoning if we can do this. It's got a lot of non-combat applications too. If we research non-magical science, we can summon dry ice into the atmosphere for cloud seeding, we can summon fertilizer to help this wasteland, we can summon resources the country's lacking in, etc.

>>31517608
>>31517582
These seem similar enough.

Summoning costs a lot of energy, and items and monsters summoned only last for as long as you spend it. No one is powerful enough to create something out of nothingness.

[2/?]
You look up from your book and see it. One word come to mind: Huge. There are plenty of other words that could have been used to describe the giant black stone peak that stand, unique, in the middle of the dark plain. Cyclopean, threatening, scary, covered by spikes would be good candidates, for starter. But the sheer size of it is enough to steal the words from your usually quick mind. From what you've read, this is the place Ignus Darklies wrestled control over the Doomlands from Calus the Earth Mage's clutches. Literally wrestled. This... mountain is said to be the result of the battle. At its base, you notice a metropolis, the biggest city you ever saw, buzzing with life and activity. And Eurus's boat is making its way to the Shard's top

>>31517728
Then let's be the first.

>>31517728
in that case, how about transmutation?

>>31517728
What about weather magic?

>>31517786

>>31517786
Transmutation sounds good.

>>31517786
This, let's learn Transmutation.

Mindmagic is best magic.

however, i prefer we be a generalist wizard

What about we be subtlewizard?

Like, you know about the For Want Of A Nail thing?

We use our magic to know which nail to hide.

>>31517840
Nah, let's go with Transmutation.

>>31517840
Now your starting to talk like the real OP, and I can't understand you.

>>31517869

Only if it doesn't cost an arm and a leg

>>31517875

S-sorry. Basically, there's this poem about how "For want of a nail, the horseshoe was lost
For want of a horseshoe, a horse was lost", etc etc, and it eventually snowballs into a kingdom losing a war 'For want of a nail'. Not really sure how to explain this without linking the associated TVTropes page.

>>31517822
We are a generalist wizard, we just have a particular talent for X.

>>31517840
That doesn't require magic so much as subterfuge.

>>31517908
>We are a generalist wizard, we just have a particular talent for X.
I am saying I prefer not to have a particular talent for X (+bonus to X type magic) but rather get a +smaller X bonus to all magics.
Our talent is jacking off all trades

>>31517908

I was suggesting something more like reverse psychometry, where instead of tracking where the object has been, we track where it will end up, so we can change the smallest things, and end up with the biggest results.

>>31517940
I rather have Transmutation than that.

>>31517940
So you basically want to be an oracle wizzard.

>>31517940
>Reverse psychometry
>Reverse seeing the past
>Where we see the future instead of the past
... why are you using the word reverse there? why not just say what you want?

Because it's 1:30 AM and I haven't slept.

>>31517786

[3/3]
The black boat lands on the flattened top of the gigantic stone structure, dodging the spikes with perfect mastery as it descents. Eurus hands you the dagger you gave him, and you do the same with the branch he left in your care. From a set of stairs dug in the rock, a man wearing black approach you. Not particularly old, his hair are none the less completely steel gray. He looks into your eyes with a stoic expression. “Welcome to the Dark Shard, Prince.”, he says with the voice of the man who seen it all and found most boring. “You must sign the register, if you wish to enter.” He opens the large, ironbound tome he carried under his arm to a blank page, and hands you a quill and a bottle of ink.

You know it, every spellcaster know it: Names have power. That is why no Mage worth his salt reveal his birth name to anyone. The reason is obvious: As your birth name was imposed to you by your parents, anyone able to manipulate the Magical principle could use it to impose his will on you, or, more accurately, to prevent you from using Magic against him.

Did you forget that this place is the most powerful empire on the continent? It already is an economic and military powerhouse and it has plenty of mages in the military (I am guessing at least).
We should pick something for personal advancement not for national advancement. also we will be tested so we need to pick something that helps us pass tests
mindreading lets you "cheat"

Transmutation is the art to change one matter into another, or to change the shape of one matter. It costs less than outright summoning, but eventually everything returns to its original state, unless costantly fed with energy.

Mind Magic is even less costly, but more difficult: You have to do the Magical equivalent of breaking into someone's house, pass all security and then challenge them to arm-wrestling, and this for the duration of the spell.

but it would be worth it. a big quest, and at its end you get a new named minion for your party.

>>31518277
I am guessing killing, destruction, and construction (where you physically move something instead of transforming them)...
so basically. Telekinesis, fire, and lightening.
the fire and lightening go away, but their effects on the world remain.

... hmmm, maybe what we need to do is figure out similar stuff to that.
Like, we want a minion? Lobotomize them with magic (physically) and then they are really easy to control

>>31518312
>Including our real last name there
oooh, smart. it is well known that this is our last name (what with being a prince) and by using our real last name and a fake first and middle name we create the illusion of the whole name being true

actually, we could combine telekinesis and transmutation. Become mundane scientist. Transmute things by altering the molecular structure of things and removing impurities, use telekinesis to force them to stay like that

>>31518313
>Have you tried reading the thread?
Did you? Summoning and binding/familiar is not the same thing.

>>31518335
Wow really smart, the first guy who tries that discovers it doesn't work, great benefit. You might just as well write down Fake Gay Lionhide for all the good it does.

>>31518352
>Wow really smart, the first guy who tries that discovers it doesn't work, great benefit
It is a great benefit.
1. not all our enemies communicate
2. it blocks 1 enemy plan for free
3. the time and money and effort spent implementing that plan that failed cause they didn't have our name, they could have implemented a different plan that would hurt us. so this kept them occupied

>>31518147
I'm going with Johan Magnus, unless there is a massive vote against it.

Yes, Magic is hard. It is basically breaking the universe's priceless china and then convincing him it was always like that.

>>31518231
> bind magical creatures to serve you
Powerful Mind Magic +Powerful Enchanting

> shoot deadly bolts
It's probably the easiest Magic of all. It doesn't even need to be a spell: Just spend the energy and let it do its wonders. Offensive spells are more cost-efficient, however.

>turn invisible
Basic illusion/ bending the light

It's easy to do, but hard to do well

Hey fucktard, how do you test a plan to use someone's given name against him?
Only possible way is to cast a spell that uses that name. Which requires an investment (you must first find it out, then get the ingredients for the spell).

Now, using a cheaper spell at first to see if it works seems wise... until you realize it can tip off your target

Stop replying to the troll/retarded.

giving a name? no
picking a fight and being rude to the super powerful, yes.
His example was "poke a dragon = instant quest over"
In the post you replied to I expliictly stated that it isn't not the act of not giving the name, but the issue was that the phrasing suggesting picking a fight over it

>>31518686

that the post said to refuse rudely. that is the big deal.

OP, I'm wondering if you can make illusions that are so real that they can hurt people and interact with physical objects. Like Al Mualim did in Assassin's Creed 1?

>>31518840
>To make a point
the only point it would make is that the MC is an autistic retard
but really, its because they are trolls.

>>31518850
No, its only troll choices are trolls.
One of the most important job of the QM in tg is to tell trolls and or retards to fuck off so that the quest doesn't suck and get ruined. because if he goes with the same fagging trolls who hate quests they WILL ruin the quest and everyone who isn't a retard stops reading it

how can the QM tell? by using his brain.

>>31518850
This. You do know that there's a reason why QM wrote FOUR choices in his entry, right? There's not a single "correct" choice, they just lead to different kinds of results. Stop being so prissy about the fact that other players dare to have the audacity to think differently than YOU.

>>31518881
This, so much this.

Johan Magnus of Lionhide it is. The particle is important.

>Writing

>>31518881
Nice how you ignored the second part of my post because you couldn't argue against it.

Anyway, don't be a troll yourself, you're thinking that out of the FOUR choices the QM gives us one of them is LOL YOU DIE INSTANTLY trap option. That's just beyond retarded, retard.

>>31518923
What IS our true name?

The quest barely started and everybody is already flipping their shit.
Dafuq?

The post you are linked to was my second post in this thread. The first one was >>31518599

I honestly don't care what gets written on the piece of paper. You people are yelling back and forth like a bunch of children.

>>31518923

Fuck your railroading ass OP, I'm outta here.

>>31518937
Magnus Johan!

>>31518901
>hurr choices I don't like are trolls

>>31518938
This quest is plagued with trolls, but we can only go up from the first thread

>>31518950
calm down

>>31518950
Good.

>>31518938
Retarded manchildren who are afraid when people disagree them, mostly. Probably trolls, but it's impossible to tell because of their autism.

>>31518856
Sure. Even if it's technically either an illusion with a telekynetic push/forcefield at the time of the contact, or simply making the guy *percieve* he's being cutted to shred.

>>31518923
Goddamnit OP.
This is the second time you ignored vote counts.

>>31518938
the op actually had to abandon his first thread and start a second one from all the trolls.
He admitted to being a new QM and the sharks are smelling blood in the water so they are bullying him more than normal.

>>31518995
The first it would change nothing and this time he did the right thing.

>>31518986
Illusions would be a pretty damn good specialty, there's a lot of creative uses for them.

>>31518995
>OP goes with both the overwhelming majority and the sensible arguments
>Trolls accuse of railroading because didn't win

>>31518938
This is what happens when you advertise your quest on QTG. Seriously every time I see a new quest I tell the QM not to make and posts in that thread because it will draw the trolls like moths to a flame. But this QM did it before he even started. Rookie mistake.

>>31519010
He announced it in /qtg/ ffs.

You never do that.

>>31518995
It's frustrating, isn't it? Why even give an option if you're going to ignore it? It would've felt entirely fine if the OP had just asked "what's your fake name" of us, I'd have no problem with that but now his behavior leaves a bad taste in mouth.

>>31519042
He did the right thing.

>>31518986
Cool. You said the only bad thing with illusions is that it's hard to make perfect ones right?
I think we should be an illusionist since they don't have to be perfect to fool someone, you don't have to be invisible to hide, you just have to stand still, and being transparent will still help.

>>31519017
It's the right thing only because you agree with it, not because it's the objectively right thing to do. Can you see beyond your bias why people might be upset about it?

>>31519037
well, it IS his first quest

>>31519033
>overwhelming majority
[citation needed]
> sensible arguments
There's none, seriously. Some anons just wrote suggestions for fake name but not one argued why it would be a good idea to give one. They're just going with the flow instead of playing.

>>31519063
>defending railroading OP because he favored your choice
Biased as shit.

>>31519065
I'm sticking to my guns with >>31518599

I'd rather be able to see through someone else's illusions than make my own.

Sorry if people don't like the direction this story is going. You can leave and let the ones who enjoy it enjoy it.

Come on guys, stop replying to the trolls.

>>31519042
then leave, pls.
also, there was a fucking vote and the majority vote was for using the fake name.
furthermore, you trolls never gave a single good reason to act like a retard in quest

>>31519063
In just your opinion, though. In my opinion he acted deceptively, not cool.

>>31519104
the fuck off and die in a fire, please. fuck off for the sake of all of us

>>31519100
You're supposed to people vote how the story goes, not just write whatever you want. It's not a quest if you just railroad.

>>31519100
OP, you just choose a bad place to advertise your quest in the beginning, but don't worry, they're going to get bored eventually.

>>31519115
Why don't you fuck off instead and stop ruining the quest for me, hmm?

>>31519100
You ignored vote count. TWICE.
Is this a quest or a damn story?

>>31519115
This.

>>31519138
In the first one custom would win anyway.

>>31519100
the trolls will leave eventually.
you said "I am going with john magnus unless there is overwhelming majority against it"
at the time you said it (the vote cutoff) the vote was 3 for John magnus, and 2 for John magnus lionhead. So 5 total... while one guy said to run away, one guy said to refuse, and one guy suggested another name.
So, overwhelming majority. then we had a long debate on whether or not to add the lionhead punctuated with trolls trying to get us to act lolrandumb. And you ignored them
Good job QM, you are being testing by fire and you are exceeding expectation so far.

>>31519100
Nice attitude, fuckhead. It's true that I don't like the direction this quest has taken, but I am entirely within my rights to try to steer it to a better direction. You can't just kick off people and have a circlejerk with your sycophants.

>>31519100
Why bother making a quest when choices don't matter?

>>31519126
Well, considering that he managed to gain a well above average number of readers even though he's only in his second thread, I'm not sure it was a strictly bad idea.

Then again, who knows how many people that aren't trolls actually showed up because of qtg.

>>31519139
Shut up, retard. No-one asked you.

>>31519138
>5 for john magnus (with last two wanting to add a third name)
>1 for running away
>1 for refusing
>1 for another name
>Ignored vote count
I am sorry for you losing all your fingers in a tragic accident and never learning to count numvers smaller than 10

>>31519163
I agree, I'm surprised in how well the QM is reacting to these things.

Ignore the trolls keep the quest going.

>>31519100
For the love of god ignore the comments and just focus on the story updates. They'll get board eventually. Responding to a troll is the worst possible ting to do.

>>31519163
Jesus christ can you even count? The vote was won by "John Magnus", not "John Magnus Lionhead". That lionhead SHOULD NOT be there.

>>31519191
Bait.

>>31519163
We had 6 refuses.
Refuses are in the majority.

>>31519213
>For the love of god ignore the commands and just focus on the story updates
FTFY

>>31519231
And? QM said overwhelming majority, one more is not a overwhelming majority.

>>31519228

>choice gets majority
>nu-uh you need supermajority
Why?

>>31519290
Exactly, what's the point of giving FOUR options if realistically you're going to allow only one of them to be picked? It's pointless, completely pointless.

>>31519324
Because this is his clubhouse, why don't you go make a better one, with blackjack and hookers?

>>31519213
the problem with ignoring trolls in a quest is that the QM might see it as a consensus to act lolrandumb
i see it constantly

>>31519324
Because fuck you, that why.

>>31519321
Hey, why don't YOU leave instead and allow us to enjoy the quest? How about that, huh? Sounds pretty good, doesn't it, everybody wins that way.

This is what happens when you advertise on QTG. Those people hate quests. If you ever run another quest please do not talk about it there first.

Think of it like a challenge; "how long can I run this quest without someone talking about it on QTG"

>>31519331
Because no other course of action had any significant support in spite of the thread going on for a hundred post.
Personally I suspect this has something to do with a bunch of fucktards throwing up a shitstorm and refusing to fucking leave a quest they apparently hate.

>>31519369
Actually... how about just moving over to anonkun or tgchan?

>>31519380
I don't hate this quest, I'm just pretty upset that it doesn't go the direction I and plenty of other anons want to. That doesn't make me or them trolls, you know?

>>31519359
I'm not the one being a faggot and crying.

>>31519360
Sorry but the cut-off point is here >>31518923
OP just ignored counting like he did earlier

Is it weird that never managed to read even through a single QTG?
How they manage to fill up so many threads wth basically nothing but shitposting is quite frankly baffling.

>>31519419
Really now? Because you sound like a pasty faggot crying about trolls when people have - gasp - different ideas than you. You're afraid of conflict in real life too, aren't you?

>>31519444
Again, I'm not the one being a faggot and crying.

>>31519401
I actually really like anonkun. There are are only two quests I follow but they're both pretty good. The way they have it set up makes it much harder to troll than tg.

>>31519369
I disagree. QTG's a great place to go too to discuss the quest, that's how some quests actually became popular because a playerbase was established there.

The problem is faulty vote counting and QM not ignoring the assfaggots and just posting the story.

>>31519427
no, it was here >>31518436

>>31519415
This. You can have your railroad quest, just don't expect people to be happy about it and continue playing.

>>31519415
And which directions is that supposed to be?
Because I'm not seeing any different direction being suggested.
All I'm seeing is a bunch of fucking trolls complaining about the OP going with an option that had actual votes behind it.

Oh yeah? What are you doing now then, faggot?

>>31519478
Hold it.
Refuses had the majority of 6.
>>31518436 was not the cutoff point since OP was still considering votes.

>>31519537
Asking you to leave.

>>31519434
That's where they go to train.

>>31519458
Even if trolls do show up in anonkun it's easy to ignore them. The only problem is it's kind of slow.

>>31519475
Wait are you saying you'll actually leave if he keep railroading?

Holy shit. Hey QM ignore all votes on the next few updates. They'll leave. Then you can start counting votes again. I actually like writefag threads.

>>31519522
No, I want to make this quest better. I'm not a quitter.

Faggot.

You write the name you chose upon your entrance in the world of Magic. Johan Magnus of Lionhide, as you have been called for nearly ten years now. The man in black seems satisfied with this, and closes the book with a nod in your direction. “Please follow me.”, he says, before turning heels and going down the stairs you saw him climb. With a wave of your hand to Eurus, you follow him. Soon, you arrive to a large, circular room, lighted by two dozen of torches. The walls, the stone floor, the ceiling: Everything is painted green, with an impressively complex silver pattern engraved in it. As you set feet on the final steps, a voice breaks the religious silence that occupied the room previously: “No, no, no! This won't do. This just won't do!

A puff of red smoke explodes next to you, and a woman, clad in a crimson suit, appears in its center. You notice the top of her head barely reaches your eye level, despite the stiletto heels on her feet. She shoots you a disapproving glare through her triangular glasses, and then grabs your chin.

“Hmm, need a goatee. And a cape. I see a leather armor, for starter. Maybe black, with the Bride's blazon embroidered on it.”, she says dismissively. “Now, Modemaster, it is not the time for...”, start the man with the register, before being cut by an inquisitive raised finger darting a few millimeters from his eyes. “Shut up, Scribemaster! Fashion does not wait!”, she nearly screams at him. She then reports her attention to you, and plucks out one of your hairs.

How do you react?

>Take it in stride

Don't flinch. Politely tell her that we're not going to grow a goatee, and we'd really rather not wear leather armor, we're a scholar not a brigand.

>>31519650
yes. I am clearly samefagging from 2 computers and 5 phones. You have seen through my wicked scheme

>>31519671
It's clearly at least one or two anons just samefagging, because it's not conceivable that so many readers would vote for "taking it in stride" - it's the worst option IMHO.

>>31519538
>hurr >>31518436 was not the cutoff point since OP was still considering votes.
explicitly ignoring what the op actually said in that post
>Refuses had the majority of 6.
no. it lost 5 to 1 before the cutoff. then after the cutoff there were a fuckton more than five votes against it.
>refuse
I especially liked how 3 of the 6 total refuse posts in the entire thread say to refuse the not just to sign our name but the entire wedding. a notion we defeated 3 different times in last thread and QM explicitly told us would lead to our country being crushed by the empire and us becoming a fugitive. At some point character established motives can start trumping the shitposters.
Especially because normal people are not going to bother to defeat the same troll post on the 10th time it gets suggested. so the QM has to say "mmm, this was shot down 9 times already, I am just going to ignore it like everyone else is rather then say "aha" nobody bothered to downvote so it must mean we do this"
every quest where the QM did not learn to filter such things ended up ruined, lost its readership, and died

>>31519684
I'm going for the 'reveal nothing, give nothing away' thing until we're able to think about it.

I had a little nerdgasm the moment she was introduced

We know her name. It's "Fashion Bitch"

>>31519717
That might backfire if people get used to pushing us around. I think it would be better to show some backbone here, and call her out. Besides, the emperor seems like a guy who would approve such behavior.

Take it in stride that it.

>>31519733
Her name is Modemaster, pay attention to things.

Now this means that she's the best at Mode, I'm not entirely sure what that is, but it probably means it's best not to antagonize her.

>>31519738
Agreed.

>>31519745
You should include "Voting Closed, Writing" posts. Clarifies things.

Actually it is 1 computer and 6 phones who have wifi disabled. because all computers and phones on the same router from the same household would show up as the same ip to the outside world.
you have to disable wifi and use your dataplan in order for your phone to appear as a different IP

>>31519738
She's acting like a bit of a bitch, and treats us like some lump of meat. What do you see in her? And I'm not saying that we should throw a fit, just show some backbone. We have self-respect you know?

>>31519750
Oh yeah the whole name holds power...

>>31519743
If we fly under the radar it'll pay off when we decide to usurp everyone. Of course we should tailor our responses in the future to what impresses our bride-to-be, since we'll need her power for any chance at all.
