Root Admin Chewett Posted April 7, 2015 Root Admin Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Chewett: It would be interesting if spells degraded as they were continually pumped into spellstone Chewett: As a result of completely "forgetting" their uses, each time you pump all your knowledge into a stone Chewett: Slowly over time, losing more and more true knowledge of the spell.

Miq Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) i assume you lose the spell for good after creating a number of stones (or drop to belove 8 casts regeneable) Edited April 7, 2015 by Miq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Zl-eye-f)-nea Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 How does that fit with the concept? You consider it more like sucking the knowledge out of yourself rather than putting it into something actively? Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ary Endleg Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Because of memory tainting or something like that that's related to spells in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimrodel Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I thought it was like an imprint... You don't lose your fingerprint after using it somewhere... Or you dont lose your knowledge after writing a book >> Ary Endleg, Lintara, Sasha Lilias and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ary Endleg Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Yes but it's form of expression, and you can't ever fully express anything, there's always that little something wrong or missed bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assira the Black Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 This could be countered by the idea that practice makes perfect. The more experience you have at doing something the better you become or the more naturally it comes to you. You already have the knowledge of it but that by putting it to use it evolves not degrades. I have knowledge of riding a bike, I have seen others do so, but once you ride a bike and have the experience of riding it. Then it becomes more than just knowledge and can not degrade to nothing. I know how to ride a bike and can go years without riding one. I have not forgotten how to ride one. At first I may be unbalanced, but I pick it back up quickly. Same thing can go for anything that we experience. If I were to have knowledge of spells and cast them, then it would not be something that I easily forget. I would get better at casting them or find ways to better cast them. For it then becomes an experience. I think there is a difference between knowledge and experience. Knowledge unused becomes tainted and fades. But knowledge and experience builds to become better than it originally was.

I am Bored Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Casting the spell yourself builds knowledge and experience, but, if simply writing about it, the details would fade. Perhaps have the total regenerable casts increase with continued use (up to a point at least), and decrease with continued use for spell stones? This would mean there is a way to counter the decrease from imprinting the thoughts on stones. Dragual 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyphis the Bard Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) The idea of spell casting ability increasing even for those who only have the spells through stones is something Mur brought up a long time ago - anyone able to find the link, it was on the forum from memory? (I'd do it myself, but need to head to work :P) Edited April 9, 2015 by Kyphis the Bard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Chewett Posted April 9, 2015 Author Root Admin Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Common items + a25 ritual preparation and learning areas + combinations = More learning when casting things? Kyphis the Bard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
