does any1 know what the deciding factor is 4 the mages dragging us in2 this world?
there doesnt seem 2 be much of a pattern…
we have just as many supernatural/superhero/magic types as not
theres adults as much as theres kids (sorry not sorry to all the teenagers: ur still just kids, deal w/ it)
so whats the common denominator
whats on their checklist

personally i think its a requirement 2 be super hot if ur summoned
every time we get together 4 some swanky party hosted by someone its like a fucking hollywood extravaganza
this is not a complaint but it IS weird right
like are we being fetishized by the natives???
(THAT gets real weird when u think abt the teenagers tho Y I K E S)

thoughts/opinions?
(do we think they even specifically get 2 choose who they pluck out of their lives or is it all at random?
magic is chaos, right??
come @ me research bros ik ur out there)

I've met a few that share my arcana. The assignment of personality traits, etc. based on sign seems to be superstition, however I can attest to the magical properties of using specific symbols to enhance spells and more effectively focus magic. Make of that what you will.

There was an exchange of blows between Thorne and the Free Cities. The Queen instigated, and Cadens responded in kind. Libertas is still recovering, but there has been no further aggression. I believe both nations are frightened of what might result.

do u think it wld be worth investigating those correlations more or is it more just like some weird filing system they have 4 us? lol

how long ago was all that?
b4 ppl started showing up here or smthng more recent???

[techmaturgy]

Both. The arcana system ties us to the Singularity in some way, if it's used as part of the summoning ritual.

The bombing of Libertas was almost a year ago, I believe. Summoned began arriving a year before that. It's been some time.

[bestfuneralever]

both is good

[He won't even GET that reference. But you know. It's. Fine.]

so is it just the arcana that get attached 2 us that makes us tied 2 the singularity
or do u think the summoning ritual latches on2 ppl w/ some...vague mystic quality that makes us more likely 2 vibe w/ it?

jeeze...
ik nadine said shes one of the oldbies around here
but idt i even realized ppl have been here THAT long

[techmaturgy]

No, but I believe it helps focus the energies. Like a signature. The natives here don't have the same attachment to the Singularity that we do.

The first Summoned all arrived in Thorne. It wasn't until later that the Free Cities and Solvunn began to replicate the ritual.

[bestfuneralever]

that makes sense
i mean hell ive had the powers i came here w/ my whole life & my dad studied me & my sibs like a fuckin science experiment & i still cldnt tell u a damn thing abt why or how i can see ghosts tbh

sounds abt right
let the other guys figure it out
work out the kinks & build on top of their successes/failures
like tech companies lol

they dont all play w/ the exact same magic schools right so...
i wonder if the rituals are diff based on faction?

[techmaturgy]

I'm not sure the ritual is any more refined across factions. The building blocks must be the same, but it's likely there are variations, yes.

[Anyway, hang on.]

Literal ghosts?

[bestfuneralever]

in all their terrible bloody glory yuuuup
0/10 wld not reccomend
its awful

[techmaturgy]

An inborn ability?

[bestfuneralever]

unfortunately lol
its a lot quieter in the ghost lane front here
which is not a complaint btw

[techmaturgy]

No, I can't imagine it is.
