Heh, but you just proved that you are blind or at least, you behave like one.

Eh? I said that mortals caused the Cataclysm w/o divine intervention, meaning that gods did not cause it. Although I later decided to add an option that maybe gods afterall did try to stop these wizards from doing their experiments etc. Maybe gods decided not to involve in mortal wizards' doings and then the Catalysm happened. Maybe the wanted to give mortals what they deserved? I am not explaining here the exact FACTS in Majik history, but instead I am creating the possible storyline and reason for the Cataclysm since I can not just decide the reason etc. for this terrible disaster just by myself. If you are too blind to see that, maybe you should not comment my ideas at all and leave me to decide what happened, although other designers would still have their words to say. > That great degree in the workings of magic is quite > impossible for any mortal to gain, this has been decided earlier that only > the ones built reality can really know perfectly how it works. Yes, so it is NOW in the present time in Majik, but was it exactly the same way BEFORE the Cataclysm? I think not. I think that Gods finally realized that mortals became too powerful, too easily and too fast in the art of magic. That is the reason why Gods took some power off from the mortals and reason why they did not stop the Cataclysm from happening was that Gods did not want to interact directly with mortals and the world. That would have affected the balance too muhc and maybe it would have lead to a war between the gods and that is something that most of the gods did not want at all because that would have been even more destructive to the world than this Cataclysm. > Giver ANY level of greatness in "true magic" is inferior to any of the elder gods.

As I noted, you are (acting) blind(ly). They were POWERFUL wizards, more powerful than anyone of the existing wizards can even dream of. They were like demigods in power, yet they still were mortals. I do not understand why this is so difficult for you to understand that they were much more than just mere mortals with poor magical skills. Some of the wizards were liches, some were men, but they all possessed great powers. > Nothing in the creation can stop Dazzt, execpt other > elder gods. That is behind our agreed version of things also. Dazzt did not fight these wizards. > Also such a thing as releasing true magic to world and causing destruction > is quite impossible because of the nature of magic.

And in our agreed version its just that what happened. If this is the case, fuck my ides then. I will just shut up my mouth and stick my ideas in the ass of some elven king so that they can be found by some cruel PC who decides to search the king's rectum for some unknown artifact. > Elder gods can kill any being in existence by simply removing him from the > creation, any powerful wizards are but maggots, they dont have what it > takes to destroy the world if they have to fight against the gods. Yes, but in my idea the Gods decided not to do that. Read above my poor excuse. -- | ~ Sinister / Serpent of Nightside ~ | | <sinister.serpent@sci.fi> http://i.am/sinister.serpent/ | --o-- Nightside homepage: http://www.netti.fi/~halsa/ --o-- | Nightside e-mail: <nightside@hotmail.com> |
