Aia del Mana

I had noticed of late the increasing number of the realm who hath attained Mind-Power, yet were unable to assign a Principle, as the Story Mode were no more. I note that there were not a single one of the new visitors of the realm that had even attained a third principle; some had not even attained their first.
Although I lament the loss of the Story, I should like to propose that one who doth obtain such a Principle Document may then add that principle to that which they were attuned. Such a document should read of such a principle, and upon finding it, should allow the reader to add it to their own principles, if they have Mind-Power that exceedeth their known principles.
An example may be made of placing the Principle of Balance within the Gazebo of Equilibrium, or the Principle of Darkness within Deathmarrow, the Principle of Light within the Shrine of the Angiens, and so on, in places of the realm that were exemplars of such principles. Then, one who hath not that principle may simply visit that location and read the document within to learn it.
Such documents would work such that one need not commit to learning their principles once read, yet, they give opportunity to do so. In this way, all may find them in the same manner as some spell documents.
 
I am happy to be audience to all who may support, or refute, such an idea.

I was about to announce the death of the lady, but then I read the roleplay. Wrong answer (although it was close), but I'm happy to say the roleplay had some effect and the old lady has not died.
Aia, for your efforts, I'll share some silver on behalf of the lady.

As I believe it were quite difficult to be present over Murmas, I shall extend the entries for two more days.
 
If those who wish to enter would kindly post their entry via PM or in-game, I should accept it as valid.

I presently remain at the Fourth Mind-Power, and find that there were few within the realm that may spar with me.
If this were to occur, I should think that one must also break the limit of creature ascension - those of the Third Mind Power must be able to upgrade a creature to maximum as one of the Fifth Mind Power - otherwise, even in a fight that were made 'fair', one wouldst still be far overmatched fighting one of greater Mind Power.

I can confirm that I cannot yet accept Fang as protector due to this. Many thanks to he who doth rectify it.

I will have a look tomorrow evening or Saturday as I have a couple hour drive tommorow evening.
If people want to investigate please do.

I believe that Mur hath simply enabled the functionality of the Heads, for the purpose of allowing one to leave the Island of Gateways. Yet, to do so, it were that he had simply enabled the Contest of Heads as it were of it's last iteration - that of the Contest of Boss Heads.
I believe that the same functionality may be enabled without such restriction on one's statistic, or vitality, by enabling Heads as it were without the Boss rules, and enabling one to attack another of a different Mind-Power only if the other hath some number of heads. Thus, to revert such rules to that of the inaugural Contest of Heads.
As it were presently, those who have left the island in the last day have already gained the maximum heat that those of the Third Mind-Power may hold, as given of those who have been kind enough to train them. I fear they yet do not understand that which they may have learned if they had taken longer to train and advance.
 
I do not question the will of Mur, and if he sees it fit that the realm should remain thus, then I am content.

In the spirit of Murmas, I wish to run a quest, and seek sponsorship for the quest rewards.

Rewards thus far:
1 Voice stone (donated by Burns)
6 Heat stones (donated by Lintara)
630 Iron Ore (donated by Fang Archbane)
6 gold coins (donated by Treasury - 3 to first, 2 to second, 1 to third place)
1 Petrify stone (donated by Jubaris - for the scariest entry)
As it were that Murmas approacheth, so must good spirits.
Thine quest were so:
Write a Murmas poem, or song, or chant. Thine offering must rhyme, and reference the realm in some way, either of the land, or its beings, or otherwise.
Magic-speak, or archaic-speak, is encouraged, as were wit, and humour, for which further reward should be bestowed.
I seek an offering that may bring mirth and cheer to others this Murmas, which were that which above all must affect the final judgment.
As to the length of thine submission, there remaineth no limit; yet, one must remain entertaining throughout.
 
Of judgment thereof, such were that of each of the following, a score of up to ten points should be given:
1. For magic-speak, or archaic tongue, or other mystical construct
2. For rhyme and prosody
3. For mirth, and wit - and for this, a double scoring.
4. For support of those of the realm, that were not scored of the judges.
I shall accept submissions, within the realm, or within this forum, and they shall be anonymous until they are scored.
 
I would like to have the entries in by Murmas, yet, I know that the other-realm doth pull one away at that time, and so, I shall accept submission if it were late. These may be given to me within the realm of Mur, or within the forum of Mur, afore the great Murmas celebration.
 
Merry Murmas, and may good fortune befall thee.

Ill sponsor this with a stack of 630 Iron Ore for first place.

And happy early Murmas 

treasury will sponsor 3gc for a winner, 2 for the one who comes second and 1 gc for the third place.
