The Orders of Hermes Official

As their legal guardian ill pay, the amount is being delivered via pidgeon

Then homunculus has clearly had a good influence on you. He also has started swallowing rats hole, so you’ve clearly had an effect.

By the way, you should pick up the texts of Zoroaster as well, for while there is a statistically significant portion of the taftani that are muslim, a majority of them actively worship pre-abrahamic faiths and have hold pantheistic beliefs.

Below is have linked the penguin edition.

I havent seen that movie, but that man looks disheveled and drunk.

True faith is closer to real magick than you’ll ever have nerd.

Timelapse of the art and clarifying “this is meant to mimick ai but was done by hand/mouse” could work around that. Then again that is extra effort.

Hommonculus update: he now can swim. Also im trying to get him officially registered as a mage of the second circle. Seeing as they know some sorcery now.

Its not going well because im refusing to use nepotism.

It was saturnalia for me but damn do i agree

hmm, that architecture. Compliments to the designer

Apprentice here. Huge disrespect to the cards, and just plain stupid if you’re using the ai to represent the deck itself.

Its about self reflection and all that.

i DEFINITELY figured it out this time

How much time ya got?

it didnt get a chance to. because a few years later you got involved. Also, if actual magick was to be believed in the creativity of the sorcery would be way further than the medieval ages, with the inventions the virtual adepts have made that allows people to connect.

Im sorry, I've been back there. Did you know that it didnt used to be vulgar to mimick certain shifter tranformations? and one could fully do this and become a ratfolk through life in non paradoxical means? sure, not a mousefolk, mouseshifters dont exist I think. Honestly no clue.

OPENNESS: aka the tenent tenent/meta tenent. how accepting am I am of other paradigms

"There is some truth in everything" or "Hierarchical paradigm"

My character, throughout his life, started with a very closed paradigm, but over many years that eventually changed.

EPISTEMOLOGY: How is magical knowledge gained.

"Mystical insight"

I mean, what was I going to say. "scientific experimentation?" no, no, I am very wizard. very very wizard

SOCIETAL TENENT: The purpose mage's serve in greater society.

"To illuminate"

at heart my character is a teacher, and always a student. He seeks to understand and learn and wish for something better, I have given him an apprentice for a reason. This is where he overlaps with his wife.

ASCENSION TENENT: What must one do to ascend? in this game about ascension.

A curveball here, a new tenent similar to those in the book "Achieve full potential"

To ascend one must complete their life to the fullest extent, full mastery understanding and connection with the innate self of the soul.

PERSONAL TENENT: What makes you different from the sleepers, why can you do magick.

This is a simple "I have greater understanding."

Of course I can manipulate space and energy and the spirits and life and (so on so on) I understand these things, which gives me power over them.

METAPHYSICAL TENENT: This is how the universe works, and how magick can be sustained.

For me it is "As Above So Below."

The macrocosm reflects the microcosm, the external mirrored to the internal. om ourselves is the world contained world in the same way the world obviously contain ourselves.

Prism of Focus - White Wolf | DriveThruRPG Through the Lens of Power Focus is a core element of Mage, though it has always been difficult to nail down mechanically. M20 made strides by separating three aspects of it: Paradigm, Practice, and In...

Ooc: lets use prism of focus to build me a paradigm

for those you dont know, prism of focus devides paradigms into various tennents, that describe how the mage views the world, from the high level of the metaphysics, to the individual aspects of death, life, and magick. See below.

you will never deem the populace ready for the freedom they deserve. you will never decide to risk actual autonomy.

also im reffering to the paradox backlash associated with making oneself look like that. Which Is a common complain about todays society from newer mages.

you think if immortality would be good for one thing it would be learning from your mistakes, infitnite time to become whatever person you always could have been to be. The ideal version of yourself.

WHICH IS WHAT MUMMY'S ARE. EVERYTHING YOUR NOT AND ALSO MORE.

because your static->entropic

and because your so desperate for praise from anybody but the people literally addicted to vampire blood you pulled up the first story with the theme of immortality and simply didn't question it.

Yes the "lets conquer death" idea reemerges, and then theres the wave of "that was stupid lets not"

the epic of gilgamesh, a story famous for it's pro immortality seeking message. It is that story you are calling on here. (one of) Our first ever story's is about "seeking immortality is bad actually"

do you not know about the immortality craze of the 1920's? with the rapid industrial growth and the thought that we could cure death with modern medicine? I meant what I said. you have to understand that it's a cycle, and your misaligned with the times.

holy hell, this is beautiful, did you make this?

I follow you to observe you, because most of yall are chill, but still.

I know i know, most nephandi nowadays are more in the sphere of what the virtual adepts are fighting, but I still worry.

Listen, kids, Satan herself inst the worst, but spirits who call themselves devils will eat your soul.

AI DOESNT FUCKING EXIST. ITS JUST SPIRITS IN BOXES. they keep trying to make "actual agi for real this iteration" AND EACH TIME ITS JUST A SPIRIT THAT FOUND IT'S WAY INTO THE BOX.

good news is that all the ways to bind a spirit also work on chatgpt, those stupid cars, and various other devices.
