Basic Idea: Snow Mark has long been known as Equestria's only essence magic user, but she feels like that needs to be changed to avoid letting the use of essence magic die out once more. So, she has brought together a group of unicorns with the goal of teaching them how to harness the unlimited potential of the Essence, and use it. Whatcha think?
I think: 1. I need to know more about Essence magic before I can make a decision. 2. I need a new RP for Moon Shine, since "The Strange Day" seems to have died. This one seems as good as any.
Give me some hours and I'll be able to get to the document on my computer that I have on Essence magic
Łooks pretty cool, I'll grab one of my unicorn that are more on the evil side of things (the title of this made my think of spongebob, XD)
Well, I don't think more evil characters would work, as Snow would be very sure to try to only take those that would use it properly
Here's the requested Essence magic info: Essence Magic Concept: Using the Essence of a pony to unlock limitless and powerful magic that would be impossible for a pony using regular ‘radiant’ magic. Stages of Mastery: Stage 0: No knowledge at all of essence magic, or has heard about it, just not attracted by it Stage 1: Deep meditative cycles begun to find the essence and to speak to it Stage 2: Contact and easy line to essence established, possible accord has been made Stage 3: Agreement between Pony and Essence to begin more integrated life Stage 4: Channels and 'reserves' of essence energy in order to tap into the power of the essence created Stage 5: Actual use of essence magic begun Stage 6: Essence magic fully replaces radiant magic Stage 7: Mastery of essence magic and deep symbio7ic relationship with the Essence achieved Stage 8: Total Mastery; Essence capable of forming outside the body in solid form, and even taking over the body, replacing it with itself, achieving god-like powers while the Essence is in charge Description: Essence magic is built around using the limitless energy of the Essence within, which is a being that is basically the pure personality of that pony, untempered by external experience. The Essence is not the soul, but it is responsible for making sure ponies aren’t like dogs or chickens. While Essence magic takes full advantage of all the energy the Essence can provide, which is to say, limitless, regular magic uses the radiant energy of the Essence, which is also why pegasi fly, or earth ponies have a strange connection to the ground and all things on it. However, Essence magic is not without its drawbacks and dangers. Being so closely connected to such a powerful and emotion powered being, a pony using Essence magic must learn to temper their emotions, for it could end poorly for all those around them and even possibly themselves. Needs for using Essence magic: A cooperative Essence, deep mediation cycles, small-time integration between pony and Essence as conduits for the Essence’s energy, control over emotions, peace with oneself, patience, and willing to devote oneself to a long, arduous process. Realistic Lengths of Stages: Stage 0: For as long as one is arrogant of the Essence Stage 1: 1-5 year Stage 2: 1 day-1 month Stage 3: 1 day-1 year Stage 4: 3-9 months Stage 5: 1-3 months Stage 6: 1 month-5 years Stage 7: 5-15 years Stage 8: 10+ years Total Realistic Length: 20-40 years Ideal Length of Time from Stage 0 to Stage 8: 20 years
