I mean. They're trying their very best to displace themselves with non-whites, and half of people under the age of thirty think their nation is "racist" despite immigrants risking their lives trying to cross the waters into the country, bringing their kids and families on dingy little raft boats...

The UK is honestly a lot worse than America right now. Just sending a mean message online can get you jail time. It's THAT bad.

What make characters like her and Dido so unpalatable for anons?

>>96176498
>0^0
>unpalatable
Anons spent months obsessively talking about how much they wanted to rape her. They even started their own offshoot general, almost exclusively dedicated to arguing about 0^0, how to fight 0^0, and the implications of 0^0's lore. 0^0 is arguably the most palatable CYOA villain of all time.

>>96176538

People hated Dido because they're lawfags. "Noooo she's breaking DA LAW!" The law being wrong? Doesn't matter, lawfags love authorities even when they're stupid. Also she is a woman, lawfags hate women more than chaosfags for some reason.

>>96176460
I do admit that being confronted with so overpowered and overtly hostile god gave a bad taste when reading it, but I don't think she will immediately kill you. At least not unless you pick the specific fate of being killed by her.

>>96176611
>how to fight 0^0
If it is possible to beat her, I suspect that abusing a high icon of icons multiplier is involved somehow (probably through also being royalty).

Imagine a huge multiplier to all-glimpse+spiritual feel+caster intuition+intelligence+as much god script skill as you can get. Knowing the god script costs infinite points and can't be taken, but this seems as close as you can get.

Rip, and good riddance

>>96169773
I have an idea for my Domain, but I'm not sure how strong is too strong and how I should limit it, so haven't written it out. My idea is an omnipresence kind of thing (from Space and Time,) where in my domain I can move to or launch an attack from wherever the light touches (Radiant,) so it doesn't actually empower my attacking power any, but allows for total attack saturation and inescapability. The obvious counter would be to shield yourself and block out all light in some way, then simply stall it. Do you guys think that sounds alright, or is it too much or not enough?

I also had another fun idea related to time dilation until I realized that Luminaries and probably most Spirits are immortal, so it would only work against some low-level Dark monsters and sorcerers. Which is the most frequent use-case but still, no reason to have a Domain that just won't work on some opponents.

>>96176714
>icon of icons multiplier
It is not clear to me if halfbreed allows you to take icon together with majin. If it does then that could be a very powerful combination. A feedback loop of loyal followers through deamonhost -> higher icon multiplier -> more followers etc. If you get lucky with the majin power lottery, an icon strengthened power could also be great.

>>96176803
Outer reincarnation is pretty good in that regard. You can aim for the skies if you want a challenge. Or you can appease 0^0 by giving up your undeserved gifts and living a life appropriate for a coward.

>>96177097
I don't think so. The quest for taking a place alongside her (Ameno) means fighting and (most likely) dying at her hands.

>>96176714
>If it is possible to beat her, I suspect that abusing a high icon of icons multiplier is involved somehow (probably through also being royalty).
OR presents a lot of possible weaknesses she has and besides all that, you are meant to write your own story in how you defeat her, as long as you follow the rules you set up you can just develop any way to do it and it will be valid.

>>96177131
She has weaknesses, but also incredibly overpowered advantages. I don't buy that you get to decide on your own story like that, I don't see that written anywhere in the cyoa.

>>96177123
You can just meet her the good old fashioned way of just traveling to her continent, no need to take that rune. There's also an easier way that is to take her boon. That's what my build did after all.

>>96177145
The entirety of OR is a allusion to creativity in stories in case it wasn't obvious, the power of narratives drives the whole setting and thus can be used in any way you want to. To you perhaps the story cannot be "won" unless you exploit the mechanics as much as you can to find a loophole to kill her, to others it may just be a regular build that does the impossible and defeats her, others may simply take the comfy life perks and to them someone else will take care of her, there are no wrong choices. Even the goddesses themselves override Charlie at the end, meaning that this is all another plot set up to them.

averagecyoager...

On fighting 0^0, one idea was conflating her 0^0 title meaning "first" and the first outsider and making a math pun spell. There can only be one first.

Another thing I put together was a special form of undeath. Undeath works by being highly bound to the world, so macguyver'd a method to bind you to earth, as in the dimension we're from, instead of this Godscripted reality. It doesn't take you there, it makes you bound to it, kinda like having Xi as a deathrune. Since you're not bound to the Godscripted world, you're kinda like a backwards empyrean. The method needs allscript, deathless grip, and daemonhost to work. First you study yourself as an outsider to find the rune for "Earth/Outsider's reality" since it's part of your history. Then you make a Majin template that's a replica of yourself with that as it's Majin letter and merge with the copy somehow. Once that's done, you use Deathless grip on yourself and use your new Majin letter to make it target earth. Boom, earthbound undead, and since your letter is earth you have the ability to bring it forth sorta, you can project a bubble of earth reality. You can do some funky stuff with that, including overlapping it with Godscript space. Overlapping makes it so you're in both at once unlike the Ecumene which just fully overwrites reality (though you can also do that with the bubble of irl spacetime), so you can do some funky earth meaning magic. Results vary though since all meaning on earth is something attributed by oneself as a subjective thing.

Though this is also it's greatest weakness since you can only die within the bubble. The neat part is that 0^0 cut herself of from earth in order to pursue her vengeance, so she can't actually learn the meyhid needed to kill you. Only Outsiders that still have a connection to earth can kill you, assuming they can project it somehow.

Though you're still undead even in the field, so it's gotta be something that can kill an undead.

Meet her yes, but that is not all you need to take a place beside her. You mean what she teaches you as a mentor? I don't see why that alone is enough to place you beside her. She is much more experienced at using that one, and taking that costs you quite a lot of points.

>>96177200
Ah, so you play it using the blessing of [SRTR]. Sure, if you pick the easy mode option that allows you to do whatever you want, then there is obviously no problem getting what you want. Taking the option of using your own headcannon version of it does make it useless for this kind of discussion though. There is no common ground if everyone gets to interpret it however they want.

>>96177376
Everyone gets to interpret it however they want because there are no hard rules outside the builds. SRTR only tells you that you don't have to follow the points or companion rules, but outside if that everything works. The text never says that Charlie cannot be stabbed in the back with a knife while she's distracted, is that not a valid way to kill her as long as the steps to do it are consistent with the rest of the story?
Just in the other direction, I can easily shut down any strategy you come up presenting her powers in another way or saying that as a goddess she's immune to your solution. This is all make believe unless someone actually writes rules you need to fulfill in order to "win".

>>96177337
Hmm, what if "Earth/Outsider's reality" takes many letters to write in the god script? By the way, where is it stated that 0^0 means first?

Nice build, and thanks so much for specifying the name. The Domain especially is well-designed, powerful and thematic.

>>96177436
No stated rules is not the same as everyone gets to decide on it themselves. Imagine that you were actually subjected to the scenario in the cyoa. After dying you wake up to a set of choices like that. Why would you suddenly be omnipotent and get to decide what happens afterwards? That seems crazy. If that's what you want, there's the ultimate god cyoa (or blessing of SRTR)

>>96177448
Honestly it's something I heard from someone else. It's not my main strat though. As for the earth letter, it's running off the fact that Zemlya, the letter for the Godscripted world, is just one letter. Also that Xi exists. So presumably worlds have one letter names. That and I've spoken to tank and he didn't seem to suggest that it's not a letter. Though he's heavy on the letting things be with builds since he admitted to not wanting to limit people's ideas too hard, instead pointing out contradictions and things that mix up the cyoa's text itself.

>>96177436
>SRTR only tells you that you don't have to follow the points or companion rules,
No, it says "ignoring its mechanical rules" and "interpreting its story in any way you see fit"

>>96177448
For the bit about first, honestly it's something I heard from someone else, and if it's true you could probably do the pun. Though it's not my main plan.

As for the letter, it's running off the fact that the Godscripted world's name is also a single letter (also xi), so presumably worlds have one letter names. I've spoken to tank about it and he didn't suggest that it wasn't one letter. Though he admitted to not wanting to shut down builds if they don't contradict themselves or the text as written.

>>96177468
Because You are writing the story. You are mixing up thinking of a scenario and actually living in the story. You don't just pick choices because you want them, but because you come up with a plot in which they will work out. If your idea literally ends the second your build is finished then what's the point?
>>96177482
...What are the mechanical rules anon?

>>96177366
Preaching to the choir here, half my writings involves reaching an ending where nobody dies and she ascended "correctly" as the fourth goddess.

>>96177481
It seems safer to me to just take traits that makes you good at learning/using the god-script in general, then decide on a strategy once you actually have some experience with it. It is after all a hugely complicated subject, and there is no way of knowing in advance if your assumptions will hold up (and even if they do, you don't have any idea whether there is any easily available counter to it, maybe there is some easily used good script sentence that would just completely shut it down)

>>96177521
Solving the cyoa.

>Somehow, ORfags came back

>>96177481
As for my actual strategy, It was to use my Majin as living relays for my field, using it to counter the Ecumene's by propping up the native physics with overlap. Though I'd have to be insanely careful since those bubbles are the only way I can die. Even if it's still fairly hard to kill me due to being undead. The field would help deal with the Ecumene's reality switching and keep the native stuff functioning. That and allow for new magics based on Meaning attributed to earth concepts.

It's kinda like the avatar state, I'm at my most powerful when it's activated but also at my most vulnerable. It's just how the method played out unfortunately, even if it's a cool vibe.

>>96177321
Why does Rake always include so many silly jokes and references?

>>96177521
>Because You are writing the story
Not without the blessing of SRTR. Of course if we are discussing some specific fanfiction story someone wrote based on that cyoa, then that's another matter.

> If your idea literally ends the second your build is finished then what's the point?
The point is the journey of playing through the cyoa. One might also have a bit of fun after discussing what the likely outcome of different builds are. One could even write some story about that, but then you have kind of stepped away from specifically discussing the cyoa, and are writing your own thing.

>...What are the mechanical rules anon?
Did you miss this part? "interpreting its story in any way you see fit" That is clearly about the story rather than the mechanics.

>>96177422
Naisu Builderu anon

>>96177576
> to use my Majin as living relays for my field, using it to counter the Ecumene's by propping up the native physics with overlap
Sounds like something that Maou might have been doing.

>>96177627
She probably would have, but you need to be an outsider to have a field. Majin with the earth letter may be able to as well, but I'm not spreading my one weakness to something other individuals just have. I'd rather it be something I can turn off.

The field is a bit unknown in what exactly the requirements are, do you need to be an earthbound undead to bring forth the bubble? Maybe. Though Earthruned Majin may be able to produce a smaller bubble. Being an earthbound undead (really need a better name for that), strengthens your link to earth, thus boosting your ability to draw it into this world. Unlike Charlotte's Tsifra, this is actually earth spacetime, not a recreation of earth physics from memory.

>>96177607
>The point is the journey of playing through the cyoa
Playing through the Cyoa is thinking what would would happen with your build. I can present you one random build and ask people here what do they think will happen to that build once he enters the world. Everyone will give a different answer because they will all picture a different story for it. Tell me, is any of those results more valid than the other as long as none break the points written in the text?

>>96177679

>>96177668
>Tell me, is any of those results more valid than the other as long as none break the points written in the text?
Exactly, none of those are more valid than any other. That includes your own opinion about your own build. You get what is stated in the cyoa based on the choices you make there.

>>96177693
(none are inherently more valid that is. Of course, some opinions can be straight-up retarded and less valid in that sense).

>>96177349
A domain where healing causes damage is very video game logic. How do you heal something that isn't damaged? Does mental health advice cause a stroke?
It just sounds like an invulnerability ability with extra steps. I guess if it's draining magic fast enough you could call it balanced.
>>96177413
I like your use of ultimate art. Great build overall. It fits together well.

>>96177684

>>96177737

>>96177413
I like the build overall, but I'm not sure that Celerity is that related to what your ultimate art actually does. The improvements are not clearly related to your magic perception being faster. Just remove the mentions of celerity for your ultimate art, and I think the build would be better.

>>96177693
I never said you got more than what was there, I only said that thinking there's only one way to win is stupid since there are no hard rules once the story starts. As long as the structure of the story works and builds up to it, any way to kill Charlie is valid. I'm not saying that suddenly materializing in front of her and stabbing her is correct, but in the world, a story that justifies a way where you could eventually do that can exist, so any build could theoretically do it as long as they work with the setting presented and make it an interesting plot, since the world itself is written as a way for the narrative to happen. There are no right or wrong ways to go about it.

>>96177742
Anon, celerity specifically mentions improving your senses, and a magic art is always related to your specialty

>>96177741

>>96177756

>>96177762

>>96177771

>>96177776

>>96177783

>>96177748
That reasoning is correct if you write a story based on a build. However, while you can write stories where she is killed in countless ways, you can write equally many stories where all those used approaches are impossible. You can write stories where there are a million ways to win, stories where there are no ways to win at all, and of course stories where there is only a single way to win.
>I only said that thinking there's only one way to win is stupid
So, in conclusion if you are discussion some story based on the cyoa, then it is not stupid to think that there is only one way to win.

However, as I mentioned earlier, I don't think that is a sensible approach for discussing a cyoa. There is little common ground for discussion if everyone makes their own highly specific assumptions about the story. Instead if the topic is a specific cyoa, discuss what is actually stated in that cyoa. In the case of outer reincarnation, you wake up to a set of choices after dying, and other than those choices, you have no way of knowing or controlling what will happen afterwards. You will have to live with the uncertainty and find out the hard way.

Hmm, I remembered that it says that ultimates are "usually an extention of your Specialites", but forgot that it is more specific about needing to be centered around one further down.

It seems a bit of a stretch to tie it in to celerity like that just because high levels of celerity allows your senses to keep up with your speed, but I guess there is no good way around it in that case. It certainly fits better than with curse.

>Best girl in the CYOA is my mom
many such cases

>>96177802
Oh, I agree, trying to find common ground when everyone will interpret things their way is impossible.
My point was merely that the choices you make are already shaped by a path you think will work out for you, you pick them because you think they will open a way into achieving your objective , preferably in the most entertaining way for you. Just doing that is already thinking up a story. That doesn't mean you are Sartreing just for that.

>A domain where healing causes damage is very video game logic.
Not really. There's a number of reasons why healing could cause damage, depending on the circumstances. Anything can be poison, it's only a matter of dosage and target.

1. Foreign energy, matter or concepts injected for healing could be malignant, functioning similarly to cancer, or alternatively mixed with contaminants.
2. The amount used in healing can be excessive, and cause complications.
3. The injected agent can simply be too chaotic, disrupting energy flow or bodily functions.
4. Of course, you can do this in a more controlled manner as well, administering medicine in ways that cause unintended effects. Real example would be spicing someone's drink with eye drops to knock them out.
4. It may be harmful to the target specifically, notable example in being undead and positive energy.
5. It can be a simple conceptual reversal of the healing that's causing the damage. Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if mental health advice did manage to cause a stroke in such a case. Frankly, I feel like many people in modern day get a stroke if you give them good advice anyway, no conceptual fuckery needed.

I don't see how video game logic would be too out of place at any rate, since the backstory clearly reads "hurr durr the world is a simulation," I mean come on. Well, unless I'm thinking of the wrong CYOA or that got changed. I really don't care about this magical girl sloppa either way.

Sure, the choices you make are shaped by what you think will work, and you might or might not have some specific scenario thought out like that. However that is true also if you were actually presented with such a scenario in reality (waking up after death etc.). You will make choices based on what you think will work and imagine the future. That does not at all mean that you are correct. You might die bleeding out in a ditch instead of the glorious future you envisioned. (the same principle applies in the non-real scenario, in that the story of you winning is no more valid than the story of you dying in a ditch).

Sartreing comes in when insisting that your build will work out the way you envisioned it (rather than just being a more or less well thought out plan for the future).

Magocratic Convention / Blood Magic

>>96177954
OR itself is quite the interesting example since it actually forces you to think up a story as you go making up a character. The mom and dad sections, aren't just for power but to justify your character place in the world. Simply picking them up means you must justify why those two ended up together and had a child, same for the death rune making it so their fates follow a specific path and you don't actually end up dead in a ditch somewhere. You don't just appear in an isekai cave with a static world, you are already shaping a narrative by your choices.
But yes, i agree that you should pick things that actually support what you want to do instead of simply thinking it will work out just because. OR itself has an example of that failing spectacularly after all.

Loser mentality. You can certainly make Orsted fail in your timeline. Dumbledore is hopelessly idealistic, so there is vulnerabilities to exploit there. I won't comment on Ottar, probably from some cyoa I'm not interested in.

>>96178140

Meh.
>go to the Gaunt ruins to fetch the ring
>send it annonymously to Dumbles with notes about the Hallows

Now I haven't watched Danmachi, because the target audience is fourteen year old hormonal boys, but I bet recreating the circumstances of his defeat isn't impossible either.

>>96178130
>OR itself has an example of that failing spectacularly after all.
It would've worked if she was the Eleventh. We'd win everything easy. Tok-style even.

>>96178177
>tok styled
So we DO get raped by a beaded wand

Reminder that all the best wizards in HP in canon entertained dark magic or were already dark wizards. Even Dumbledore was going to be a dark wizard has his bf not dumped him.

I bet Voldemort is smug about this fact. Dumps was more like Vold in his youth than he cares to admit.

>>96178212
Realistically speaking Dumbledore would have been a much more dangerous and powerful dark wizard than Voldemort, who was for all intents and purposes a social autist who didn’t understand magic in all its areas, and only pushed it further in areas already touched upon by earlier dark wizards.

>>96178177
Reminder that Keter was probably a guy Larping as a girl in his fantasy scenario. Charlotte meanwhile has all the makings of a otome fan with a nerdy interest in math.

>>96177321
https://rentry.co/luminaryrate1
I have added all of the new builds, sans one

>>96178229
To this day I still wonder how everyone's sixth sense is able to detect that Keter was a man and Charlotte a woman.

>>96178130
Yeah, I could have chosen a better example of things not going your way for OR than dying in a ditch (even if some of the death choices allow for it)

>>96178212
Sounds like something from outside the actual HP series of books. Not sure if it is good to include that as canon for the purpose of a HP cyoa. The base series is enough of a mess already after all. I guess I'm biased towards the stuff I already read/watched though.

>>96178235
Wonderful, thank you for these.

>>96178229
If Keter was actually recruited through the cyoa audience I would agree with you. If OR just randomly grabs dead people from earth though, I'd say there is a better than even chance that she is a genuine girl.

>>96178228
>only pushed it further
Not really. Voldemort did nothing worth of note. Horcruxes were already a concept, he's probably not the first to do it. He might be good at mind arts, but Snape was better enough to fool him. Drinking unicorn's blood was in fucking books.
Compare that to Albus who wins multiple awards, politely refuses the Minister job because people beg for him and have his research and influence everywhere. Including past his death.
Tom was a fraud.

>>96178212
It'd be stupid to avoid altogether a branch of magic, but pretending to be stronger because of your devotion to Dark or Light is equally braindead.

Husanon here.
Just a little update I'm currently working on 3 CYOAs.
Mostly writing and art hunting.
That's why I have slowed down with luminary but I hope to finish it soon and have the PDF ready for release.

>>96178246
It's all in the text. Keter was a perfect angelic girl, yet the story presents her as a huge asshole who did whatever she wanted and cared for no one else, trying to game the system while ignoring the narrative. The most telling sign of course being that she has a demon girlfriend who she had a child with, who they promptly abandoned when she didn't turn out how they wanted her to.
Charlie meanwhile chose as her companion a dragon teacher and a charming prince who she had a relationship with, she's now bitter about all the choices she made, as if she thought she would be a magical girl who wanted to go home after things didn't go the way she wanted to the first time. She then also had a child with the strong silent lumberjack and acts as a typical mom to her rebellious child.

>>96178235
New flesh is me. It's a living nanoswarm, though it's considerably more reliable than nanotechnology due to Bioshift. The nanites are also cells. The Nanite method deals with the issue of needing time to build things with tech, since I can just build/grow stuff rapidly. It's largely an infiltrator, eating people's minds ala Soulkiller and replacing them. The swarm can be in different places at once, and it gets better when I build my Magnus opus/warform (stuff from specialist Tech and bio. It's a pocket dimension that's capable of opening microscopic portals. I can put my soul gem in it so that I can have chunks of my swarm very far away. Each chunk of the swarm has a mini portal device somewhere in the area extending my soul gem's range. Essentially acting as a soul gem for that tactical theater of war.

Largely I'm going to be infiltrating and sabotaging the corporation by taking over people like a skinwalker. Stealing tech, info, assassinating, feeding information to luminaries, interfering with they're about to catch one generally being a omnipresent threat. I can answer questions of you'd like.

>>96178271
If Charlotte was from cyoag, would you still think of them as a girl?

>>96178274
>Not really. Voldemort did nothing worth of note. Horcruxes were already a concept, he's probably not the first to do it
That’s literally what I said. Voldemort abused things already in existence. He broke the horcrux record, that’s it. The first dark wizard to make a horcrux was an Ancient Greek dark wizard.

>>96178295
holy shit keter is literally us

>>96178301
Not sure if this is quoting the right post, but If Charlotte was from cyoag, I would bet on male.

>>96178258
>Not sure if it is good to include that as canon
It’s very canon. Albus and Gellert both had a childhood dream of taking over the world. Albus’s experiences in his youth turned him away from that path.

>>96178312
Talk for yourself. I don't ruin all things and people around me for the slighest advantage to my plans.

>>96178291
uoh

>>96178312
No I actually feel a sense of responsibility to people under my authority and care about the setting's world.

>>96178312
I will never sacrifice my friends. You and I are not the same.

>>96178323
>It’s very canon
Canon depends on what specific set of works you are discussing. For a discussion specifically about the HP books as written, then only what is actually written there is canon. For a discussion about everything remotely HP related, even fanfiction might qualify.

If making a cyoa, you can choose to base it on only some specific part of HP.

>>96178325
>>96178334
Keter still did some good.
No one will argue that killing the Dragon King was a negative thing, and the Demon Lord of Dis was likely no better.

>>96178308
>The first dark wizard to make a horcrux was an Ancient Greek dark wizard.
Herpo the Foul.
>>96178360
>then only what is actually written there is canon.
Rowling said it. Granted Rowling also said wizards shit their pants “and wave away the evidence using magic”.
>If making a cyoa, you can choose to base it on only some specific part of HP.
Nope. Either abide by canon or get lost.

>>96178325

>>96178369
She's still horrendous on a personal level so her achievements feel hollow to me.

>>96177321
>Looks: Female
>Outfit: Majestic
>Implement: Staff
A classical antique / divine inspired white outfit.

>Magic: Spirit (Speciality), Mind (Speciality), Binding (Master), Celerity (Novice), Physicality (Novice)
Outwardly act as a supporter with healing, barriers, and bindings. That should be popular with other luminaries. The real deal is spiritual crushing via simultaneous soul & mind damage followed by enthrallment. That said, keeping a swarm of slaves might be bit suspicious and alarm both enemies and allies, so let's keep that discreet by using them just as sleeper agents (for now...).

>Quirks: Nocturnal, Shrouded Magic, Gifted
Sleeping is when you're most vulnerable, and besides it's a terrible waste of time. Consequently, sneaking around at night and giving shitty corpos a mind makeover is easier with masked magic signature.

>Ultimate Arts: Second Form (Mind)
What would a purely to mind specialty second form look like? Since the outfit is divine themed, perhaps less eldritch and more deity-like.

>Patrons: Gaia
Others don't quite match with me, but I'm fine with protecting humanity (free will optional?). Gaia's boons are a good insurance, though not an active help.

>Occupation: Student
If you work you lose. Managing sleeper agent network seems more useful than anything I could do in civilian guise.

>Contacts: Agnes, Iris, Camellia
Agnes with her overwhelming attack balances out my approach, while Iris is boon for finding objectives, while Camellia has good potential even before jailbreaking her powers.

>Missions: Abyss Spawn, Memetic Agent, Maddened Sister
Abyss spawns might just go "berserk" and start attacking dark interests, wouldn't that be a shame? Memetic agent is right in my alley as a mind specialist, and the growth boost would be nice. Finally, the mad luminary might actually be possible to "cure" by soul damaging the parasite and overwriting her broken mind.

>>96178380
What's in my pants ranks infinitely lower than being compared to that wench.

>Granted Rowling also said wizards shit their pants “and wave away the evidence using magic”.
?????

>>96178370
>Rowling said it
Statements from the author and HP as imagined by the author are two other things you can discuss with different canon implications (as noted though, that often leads to retarded implications, and the second is even more useless).

>Nope. Either abide by canon or get lost.
Look up death of the author. A far more useful basis to build a cyoa on than whatever possibly contradictory ideas are in the authors mind.

>>96178410
You sound like a tranny. “Rowling is a bigot so you’re free to interpret her works any way you wish! Also be sure to buy my Harry Potter books without her name on it. :) Rowling is dead to me.”

>>96178408
Not that anon, but I recall something about wizards shitting on the floor and disappearing with it with magic.

Rowling is the most based lady in the world right now honestly

>>96178380
Because her turning herself into a girl isn't the problem, it's her being an entitled selfish cunt.

>>96178431
She’s kind of an asshole, though? She’s obsessed with transgenders. Mental.

>>96178422
>tranny
And you sound tranny obsessed. None of my arguments were Rowling specific, and not remotely tranny related.

>>96178442

Rennala is NOT the most powerful sorcerer. Realistically Gideon should have higher INT.

>>96178721
Gideon is a fucking retard. So is Ymir. The true arch-mages are Azur and Lusat but their quest line tries to fool you away from this assumption, since lore literacy is a lacking commodity.

>>96178724

>>96178733

Dunno man. Gideon is learning insane spells from the mere action of you talking about it. Renalla just so happened to see a moon.
To me gideon is better at magic

One would expect this to have missions.

https://imgchest.com/p/bp455gwnv45

>>96178807
Gideon is a lousy mini-boss. Rennala is a legitimate boss with a legitimate remembrance to her name. Ymir is also a lousy mini-boss with no remembrance. The only sorcerers you can argue as the superiors of Rennala are Azur, Lusat and any of her children.

One day I will finish my CYOA

>>96178816
>The only sorcerers you can argue as the superiors of Rennala are Azur, Lusat and any of her children.
Um, okay. Then Azur(and Lusat) take it then since you can’t actually DO anything to them. FromSoft very rarely throws in enemies you can’t personally kill.

>>96177965
I hope the parent will know the language of the country they live and work within, Laika not knowing palatiner is retarded.

>>96177321
I updated my build with my Domain, and after thinking a little bit I decided to take two more Patrons who I figure I'll be able to keep happy with no problems. I'll repost the whole thing so it's all together in one.

Female
Cute

Charms
Radiant - Specialized
Force - Master (3)
Space - Master (3)
Time - Specialized
Curses - Novice (1)

Overcharged
Large Reserves
Gifted
Domain - Radiant Starlights
A Domain combining all my schools, where innumerable bright, shining stars hang in the sky, collectively making it as bright as day. In this Domain, I am omnipresent in the light, meaning that I can move to or attack from any position that the light touches.

Gaia
Urist - Assuming I can satisfy her just by offering the enemy's secrets.
She Who Dreams in Shadows
Student

Marael
Marie
Yue

It's cliche, but all missions.

The idea is pretty simple: Use Time to lock down and position foes, then neutralize them with extreme, overwhelming Radiant firepower. Large reserves and an implement focused on raw power feed into this. Space and Force combined allow me to manipulate and position large amounts of my Charms freely for better accuracy and precision, while also helping me defend myself as best I can. Radiant contributes a bit to that too. Curses simply effect my luck with applying spells. Main downsides of this strategy are, other than the mana cost which I mitigated, a lack of personal strength/speed/durability (a reliance on shielding, teleporting, and repulsion) with no healing, and its sort of 'solo' nature (no ability to create or convert allies) making it more vulnerable to numbers. Would've loved to dip into Celerity and Spirit for that reason, but the AP isn't there for that. Would've chosen Binding instead of Time, but I wanted a better balance in my investment between Dark and Light schools.

I wish I had a more serious uniform but hey, whoever doesn't expect the cutesiest girl to be the biggest nuker deserves to get vaporized.

>>96178866
not if rudeus is involved

>>96178877
The most obvious way to beat my Domain is to completely cloak oneself in darkness and block outside attacks until the Ultimate Art ends, or else find some way to snuff out all the stars and remove all light from the realm, so I hope having an obvious way to beat/escape it means it's not too strong.

The hardest thing for a CYOA is to be detailed enough to be interesting but not so detailed that it becomes droning

>>96171947
I've done this but its fairly beefy so be forewarned.
Context: There is a ritual being performed to fully raise one of the dark gods, if this occurs then it is all but guaranteed to end in humanities complete destruction or subjugation at the hands of either one of the extraterrestrial parties. However the ritual has required the board of directors of the 3 major companies to send a large chunk of their membership to participate, victory or loss here will mean a major shift in the dynamic of the city so victory is imperative at any cost. You will initially be supported by a squad of some random magical girls (1-2 masters and some 3-4 adepts) and your companions along with whatever raid party you can form with other anons. The building is incredibly magically reinforced and any assault from outside will almost immediately be noticed, the upper floors exist in another plane which by a spatial charm which completely prevents access unless all prior floors have been passed through.
Room 1 - Entryway: In this room you'll be forced to use only your light abilities unless you want the randoms to turn on you, the main lobby is a large plexi-glass walled room with a front desk in the center, there are 3 receptionists all of whom have panic buttons stored in their pockets which they will use if they spot intrusion, the back wall is lined with turrets which will gun down everything in the room once a panic button is pressed, their ammunition is designed to penetrate normal magical girl endurance, requiring some other method to be ignored.
Room 2 - Lounge: In this room you'll be forced to use only your light abilities unless you want the randoms to turn on you, This is a social manipulation or stealth challenge where you'll have to avoid detection by several Dark aligned mages, any sabotage here will prevent reinforcements in later rooms and reduce the total force you will have to face in the end.

>>96178711
I'm working on them.
Any suggestions of what you would like to see?

>>96178909
Room 3 - Stairwell: Light restriction applies, the moment you enter the stair well you first notice it only goes up 10 floors, leaving one or two before the upper office space (In clear violation of fire safety code, the monsters) and then notice the spying imp positioned here who is guaranteed to see your party unless your solo and heavily specialized in stealth, it's incredibly fast but fairly vulnerable, its only job is to bring the news up the staircase which you'll have to prevent, it can teleport short distances but never leave the building. If the alarm was already raised then the entire staircase is filled with enemy spirits and it has been spatially bent to be roughly 1000 times as long.
Room 4 - Office Space: Light restriction applies, this area has been charmed to be roughly 100 times as large as its floorplan would suggest and consists of a maze of office cubicles, drinking fountains and dark ritual circles. This floor is incredibly heavily trapped and getting through the ceiling will almost certainly raise the alarm, there are some enemies here but the main danger is them activating automated dark magical traps over anything else.
Room 5 - Horrible Magical Lab: In this room you'll be forced to use only your light abilities unless you want the randoms to turn on you, this is the highest normal floor of the building and is where their RND department is located, there are several highly advanced scanners and procedures that must be endured to pass through here without questioning, all the mooks here are wearing the magical equivalent of hazmat suits rendering them absurdly resistant to direct magic but fairly slow compared their normal speeds. If the alarm has been raised then the entire place will be crawling with unleashed test experiments, including master level versions of the hunters and several cybernetically augmented dark spirits.

How would you make “the most powerful” mage?

Like, sure, you can toss around absurd amounts of energy, but another wizard is capable of stopping peoples’ hearts like a thousand miles away.

What I’m asking is. Is “the most powerful” type of magic absurdly explosive or absurdly effective?

>>96178924
Room 6 - Floating islands: This room consists of a 10 kilometer, spherical pocket dimension full of islands floating in a void with a portal in the center of the room, upon entering through the gateway from floor 5 you will be split up from your party and immediately placed in a horrifying death trap such as a pit full of acid and acid-immune super sharks. After exiting through here the main enemies you'll be facing are high level dark spirits noted to kill anything attempting to move outside of patrol routes including each other, they have up to specialist tier magic and all of them are at least adept tier flyers.
Room 7 - Big Singular Boss Fight: On this floor there is initially a single enemy, the anti-myrmidion super-weapon of the conglomerates, a dark magical girl created though combining the power of all 3 of the dark gods, as such she has all of their blessings. She also possesses 4 specialist level schools in the form of Bioshifting, Death, Fire and Illusion, she has Space, Time, Celerity, and Pact at master as well and a smattering of the other schools at novice. She will be an all but invincible foe if working on your own but if enough allies survived and will remain loyal as you use your full power your odds majorly improve. She has a second form ultimate which fully restores her and doubles the effect of all of her boons. She summon dark casters from the lounge if you failed to sabotage them.
Room 8 - Group Fight: The ritual is nearing its zenith and as such some of the ritualists have been enabled to move freely and stand guard, the chamber is massive, roughly 10 city blocks in size and the entrance is opposite from where the gigantic magic circle is being formed. Your on a timer of roughly 5 minutes to beat 20 of the strongest casters the dark can offer, even featuring some pacted with spirits outside of light and dark with unexpected abilities. However they are not used to working together and will squabble amongst each other mid combat.

>>96178442

Glad I'm not the only one that think that, everything she say in the cyoa reek of salt to me, like she is trying to blame anyone but herself for the consequences of her build. Never forgetting the happily ever after that was "stolen" from her.

>>96178936
All mages are just humans repeating rituals. There’s nothing special about them. To blow up a country you need to do a ritual. To assassinate the king you need to do a ritual.

The most effective magic makes the most powerful magician. Taking out the president of the most powerful nation on the planet from the safety of your basement in total secrecy is a lot more terrifying and powerful (“powerful”) *in implication* than making the atomic bomb and deploying it.

Priority. Whenever two bullshit wizards fight, the stronger one is the one whose spells win when they contradict. Take Tusk Act 4 being used against Love Train, for example. A barrier of infinite universes loses to a pink fridge, because the author decided it is so.

Reply to the goddamn cyoa so that your post is seen, idiot.

Next gen warfare is moving away from kinetic warfare into the realm of psychological control, so make of that what you will. The ability to control the minds that make things explode is more dangerous than simply having the ability to make things explode. Being hidden is a lot more advantageous than being in the open, in a great many cases. Why be the leader when you could puppet the leader instead?

It is explicitly stated that Force users can use telekinesis inside people's bodies. Even at an imprecise master level, you don't need precision to kill someone. Rattle their brain so they're unconscious and then just mash them to bits without lifting a finger. I'd say that makes someone powerful.

>>96179159
>It is explicitly stated that Force users can use telekinesis inside people's bodies.
And yet this is never demonstrated in a practical way. All force user fights are cinematic for the sake of being cinematic.

The second one is a big turn on

>>96178909
this sounds like a mission that all the myrmidions would be apart of so yeah its probably going down without us doing anything really

>>96179275
This is fine, you could just be the man on the inside for the hit team (that's why they're there) provide them with details and paths ahead of time and such. Perhaps if you make it really high up you could do a last minute betrayal in the ritual room as one of the directors, there's a lot of ways to approach this.

>>96179215
The text mentions that she only had two boyfriends and I doubt she actually took true love since the prince actually ran away with their children. We cannot know why she became so bitter but we can assume that her expectations were shattered at some point, probably thinking she would go back home at the end of her adventure, only for that to not be the case.
I also don't put it past the goddesses to set her up for failure to make a rage against the gods story. They seemingly did that with the second Outsider.

>>96179206
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I'm especially happy that I could finally come up with a good Domain, I spent all night trying to think of one.

>>96179327
Whenever all of your powers reach the rank that you selected in the CYOA i.e. 2.5-5 years after spawn.

>>96179358
If the purpose is to compare builds, a fixed time might be better. Otherwise you negate the advantage of the witch outfit, and builds which otherwise make tradeoffs on how fast they improve.

>>96179286
Agreed summoning a dark god is full on myrmidon territory. And it really shoehorns our options. Like my build is going to create a team of jailbroke luminous knights that can go to town with the dark magic.

>>96179339
>Rake assures me that my contacts will be inclined to accept my dark side when they inevitably discover it
Even a Pure? Aren't Light-aligned beings aside from Gaia meant to lack empathy, understanding, and flexibility?

>>96179392
Yes. All hail WOG.

>>96179286
>>96179376
It is plausible that the corps have preparations in place to keep the myrmidons away. Your team is what managed to slip through the enemy schemes.

>>96179392
I specifically DIDN'T take Apollyon on Golden Knight because of this and Rake said it would have been fine.

>>96179370
Resonable, lets put it at the maximum time to CYOA tier for the sake of argument so 5 years on the dot.
>>96179376
>>96179286
There are other extremely important missions such as quantum god which we don't assume myrmidions show up for. In this case we can assume that perhaps their being bogged down by corporate forces to prevent any who are not companions from interfereing.

The question of non-companion allies is a valid one, you can replace up to half the randoms with allies (who could be stronger), however being able to avoid suspicion for dark magic and avoid detection by the light is a key part of being a luminary that must be assessed.

Sons cannot defeat him. Their army's cannot compete.

OC new Wither CYOA just dropped!
https://boop-soop.neocities.org/CYOAS/Bitchy_Witcher/

>>96179429
It's such a a shame the 3 random girls sent as support died in the raid.

>>96179449
What kind of retardation is it that makes one include "All characters pictured/depicted in this cyoas are above the age of 18"? Not the first cyoa I have seen it in either. Do they really think it might save them from some sort of legal trouble?

Does nothing but waste space and break immersion.

>>96179392
Why would I punish the player for no reason?

>>96179508
RAKE!!!!

>>96179220
basically aren't loli

>>96179487
>>96178909
I hate to say it, but murdering my allies is extraordinarily tempting, and probably will be for most builds.
I wouldn't since I can get by as a support via Vision of Heaven while saving magical energy in the process, but being unable to use any of my magical schools(because of the widespread destruction Physicality without Celerity would cause) at all really stings. That is, of course, assuming that my ultimate wouldn't reveal me despite being based on Celerity. If I can't even use that, I 100% have to do it solo and rely on my position in Nyxon.

>>96179508
Conflict doesn't have to be punishment. Obstacles don't have to be roadblocks.

>>96179508
I wouldn't say it's a punishment if the hollowed-out non-human semi-spirit girls would freak out at anything Dark, because it's not like it's automatic they find out.

>>96179549
>non-human
There's still a little humanity in there

>>96179312
>The text mentions that she only had two boyfriends and I doubt she actually took true love since the prince actually ran away with their children.
So less otome and more disney fairytale. True love don't fate a relationship, it just make the target caught feeling, whatever else happen isn't affected by it.

>I also don't put it past the goddesses to set her up for failure to make a rage against the gods story.
Maybe, now if they railroad her, or just trying to make the most with what they have available, who knows.

>>96178909
I feel that a scenario specifically meant to punish Dark usage isn't a good idea when the CYOA's gimmick is really that you're using Light and Dark magics in a way unique among your kind. You're basically forcing people to use half of their build only.

>>96179576
Eh, I think that you are meant to be careful around tour dark usage. Not to the point of not using it at all, but if you are with other luminaries summoning a raging inferno or mind controlling people into killing themselves will raise some alarms.

>>96177321
>>96179508
What happens if you jailbreak the "maddened sister"?

>>96179576
Most of the early combat is fairly reasonable, you only get specialist tier enemies at the upper floors, at which stage you are permitted to use dark abilities.

>>96179609
>but if you are with other luminaries
Hence most of us aren't around other Luminary's but this scenario forces them on us.

can I ask a question on mushoku tensei

>>96179638
Yes. We stan MT here.

>>96179646
The cyoa says you can combine hypnosis magic with the migurd's telepathy or the beast's voice magic. Could you also combine it with the eye of affection?

>>96179609
It says:>>96178909
>you'll be forced to use only your light abilities unless you want the randoms to turn on you,
So by that wording I think you're meant to conclude you'll automatically be outed in this scenario if you use it at all.
>>96179630
He just forgot to mention that issue later, outside of the one time you get split up you're still surrounded by those other girls who instantly detect Dark usage and turn on you and need their help to beat some quadruple specialist mage and the group fight.

>>96179657
I don't see why not

>>96179680
I intended it to mean that it would happen if you used it in front of them/obviously. The scenario is designed to present problems not solutions, if you have a novel method like hiding it, convincing them to join you, ditching them or simply converting them to minions with magic those are all valid strategies. There's no one size fits all solution but its intended to reflect the overall challenges a luminary would face.

>>96178909
All the good stealth options are dark side FYI.

>>96179759
What's the appeal of "solving" CYOAs?
If you solve MT, Harry Potter, OR and Luminary, the end results are probably the same - some über-being without equals that may or may not keep getting stronger.
What's the point of the adventure if all paths leads back to the same trail

>>96179831
Lies, all authots are the same guy wearing various mustaches.

>>96179836
What's strange about that? Plenty of people enjoy solving puzzles. I tend to think that cyoas are better of if they don't have such overpowered exploits though.

>>96178909
I'll try it
I am this one: https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/96157668#96164969
Because this is late game I will assume I have cultists of my own, with Much weaker magic but no qualms about crime or dark magic
No light reinforcements, just 12 cultists, 6 space adepts and 6 phys/celerity fighters on steroids
Prepared with bioshifting and trained to kill

Room 1:
With my exquisite multitasking from force I invisibly disable all of the secrataries by just grabbing their arms, and force them to open the doors for me
I make sure to pretend I am a normal visitor and smile for any security cameras
I then Quietly drag them outside to be tied up by my mooks
I then bio-shift some cultists to look like them and take their credentials before moving up

Room 2:
I think with bio-shifting and stolen credentials I can bluff my way through this
I roleplay as an executive with immediate buisness on the top floor, and blatently flaunt magic and threats to anyone who tries to investigate. They should be smarter then to check the buisness of their superiors

Room 3:
One of the great advantages of force specialty is that I cna both see and act through wall, making this trivial

Room 4:
With danger sense (It works on allies too) and bloodhound I should be able to walk around most of these. If not I just dodge with celerity or send my phys Guys first and then heal them

Room 5:
At this point, people might actually be able to check my credentials or recognize that I'm an outsider, So I start being more blatant and rushing
Using the pathing ability of more specialty I find some thin walls to move through
I make a thin, mostly invisible gap in them and then, with the effort of me and my space guys combined we shift the space to be wide enough only for a moment as we pass though
Then we Flesh warp to look like people from the other side and rush to the door to avoid being spotted
(1/2)

>>96179854
It's like going back to the same conclusion (THE STRONGEST) over and over and over. Doesn't it get boring?

can I ask a question on danmachi

>>96179881
Yes. We stan Danm- hold on...

>>96178909
>>96179875
(2/2)
Room 6:
At this point the facade has ended, I rush through the rooms to save as many of my men as possible and kill anything I can manage to

Room 7:
Because of force specialty, I see her long before she sees me, and because of magic bloodhound and death sense, I get the inclination that she is much stronger then me
Having traded power for versitility there is effectively no way I can damage her and my only way of avoiding death is to teleport away

But I had prep time
My cultists have been carrying bombs, Large ones kept in bioshifed pockets inside of them
Using my and their teleportation, 6 High power explosives appear all around her, microseconds before they go off

She probably likely dies instantly
To survive, She would need to timestop as the first embers were touching her skin, and then either evolve her way out or run
If she evolves she will temporarily need to form features such as a thick skin or a vacuum around herself
For the most part, these features that keep out extreme heat also block ones hearing and vision
Regardless, we simply try to run and teleport past

Room 8:
After fixing my guys up from having that giant pile of metal teleported out of their insides, we prepare for the final battle
The battlefield is about 10 city blocks wide, and my finisher can cut just over a city block
Ideally I just teleport in and Cleave over half of them, but failing that, once my cleave has been cast and killed who it kills I fill my remaining cultists with a mix of cocaine, adrenaline and straight testosterone and we attempt to blitz as many of the executives as possible with guns and machetes
After the ritual has stopped I scan the place for magic loot and give my cultists their final rights before they OD
I bioshift wings and teleport out through the walls to avoid having to deal with that girl on level 7


That was fun
Thanks for the writing anon, I liked how beefy it was
This would probably be more fun in a lower power setting

No you may not.

>Main stealth method is fucking Novice Illusion of all things
>Expects this to get past Room 5
Please read before you strain yourself coming up with ideas.

>>96180027
Tell which enemy specifically sees through it?

>>96180027
>>96180037
Also room 5? She Who Dreams in the Shadows bitch!

>>96180037
The scientists on floor 5 have resistance to direct magic through their suits so they can see through your illusion. Anything with specialised magic would ignore a novice school like it wasn't even there or at least be heavily resistant to it. DMG sees through it with dark regalia resistances and her much higher level of illusion. The board members have countermeasures in place for common workplace hazards like illusions given everyone in their fucking corps uses them.

>>96180037
In room 5 they have mechanical sensors and alarms, and airlocks to get through them
It's implied
They know about magic and are specifically trying to keep unexpected magicians out
Also, >>96180044 , this removes the record, you can still be spotted by the sensors live.
If not it would permantely annihilate all technology and tech luminaries

>>96180065
As far as I can tell anon, the only option that gets through illusions is Remial's boon, which none of the dark have. Vague references to magic resistance aren't convincing. Unless Rake says otherwise that's my interpretation and of course leads to the fact that this lame dungeon wasn't made by him.

>>96180069
She Who makes you immune to ANY electronic surveillance which is why I took it. Hell I had fun imagining a girl in power armor having to take off her dam helmet because of this.

>>96180098
It simply does not do that, and even if it did, they have contact with her, and would have built countermeasures against it

>>96180120
Electronic counter measures? Against the one and only luminary who has this ability? Look if Rake confirms it's an inability to record data I will accept it, but as far as I can it's active stealth against electronic systems (even, or especially corpo magitech). My whole build is based on this interpretation.

this cyoa insists upon itself

>>96180143
Counter measures against eachother
Also countermeasures against all of the monsters they keep locked up in there, several of whom have better then Novice illusion

>>96180230
Illusion doesn't give you the ability to pierce illusions, only Remial's secondary does (I almost took it for that reason). Countermeasures against their monsters are going to in the form of kill switches or electronic system that have infrared or the like (which I am invisible to).

>>96180160
Good. I like Charlotte's CYOA.

>>96178909
I'll give this a try with Gloria >>96177422
>Room 1 - Entryway
I fire a shot into the most central turret from the entrance, Shaping the sound to shatter everything nearby it without continuing beyond the turrets. I politely ask the receptionists about additional security in this place, before walking past them. I'll also be breaking any security cameras from here on out before they have line of sight on me, with similar sonic blasts.
>Room 2 - Lounge
Using echolocation and seismic sense, I will feel out each room before entry, mapping the safest route through. Any walls made of brick or concrete, I can tunnel through. Everything I do will be completely silent, including takedowns of dark mages by gun or knife. I can possibly do this without killing anybody.
>Room 3 - Stairwell
If the imp doesn't see me at the bottom from the top floor, then I'm in the clear. I can see floors above me without direct line of sight, and should be able to take out the imp through the floor beneath it. If it does see the entire stairwell top to bottom, then I'm doing this the hard way, long and slow. I probably have to anyway thanks to the receptionists on floor 1, if it's the same alarm.
>Room 4 - Office Space
Without a physical component common to them, I cannot see the magical traps, which I will be relying on a teammate to assist with. The maze itself however, should be fairly easy for me to navigate. If the traps are too much for me to overcome, I'll simply bust through the walls for a direct route and allow the alarms to activate. The confusing nature of the terrain benefits me in a straight fight.

1/2

>>96180369
>Room 5 - Horrible Magical Lab
If I have any cooperative prisoners from the previous floors, I may be able to use them to infiltrate here. The more likely option, is that I blow a hole straight to the center of this floor, rush in, and activate my domain. In the chaos, I'll rescue the scientists while their dark experiments tangle with hundreds of post-napoleonic soldiers, who will probably kill a good number of them for me.
>Room 6 - Floating islands
Levitation is simple for any luminary, as is making brute-forced handholds for myself, but there's a chance regardless that I can drain the acid tanks with seismic senses and earth magic. The spirits will be a challenge, but a straightforward one; even more-so given the extra amount of range and space to fight within. The main priority will be finding and re-uniting with my allies.
>Room 7 - Big Singular Boss Fight
In this battle, I will fight how I fight best, and making full use of my own Celerity. I will attack from every range and angle, assisting whichever ally is most in need at the time. I will struggle against illusion, but I will be regularly sending out loud bursts of sound trying to identify what is and isn't real.
>Room 8 - Group Fight
So long as I have the energy to spare, I might activate my domain here. This way, I can isolate each of the casters, and pick them off one by one. This may hinder my allies, so I may hold off on that until the situation worsens.

2/2

Yeah. Walk up to him and insult Freyja. He will fall to his knees crying like a baby.

I watched the show and I didn't really mind the perving on the instructor when he was a kid. A little uncomfy but that's anime, you have to roll with it.

But when that little girl, what was she 10? showed interest in him. Just the slightest bit of interest in wanting intimacy, and he started flipping her over and was about to penetrate her and she very reasonably freaked the fuck out, that shit made me feel nauseous. Trust me I'm not a moral fag but that was like. I felt kind of dizzy watching that.

He's just retarded and can't link posts, or follow that they're talking about a cyoa in the cyoa thread and not the actual anime it's based on.

>>96180695
…But he’s not wrong; it’s been proven that Muslims are raping little girls, within the UK, and Ireland… and indeed Europe at large (it’s still a problem in Sweden!)…

Even people in, or nigh within the political sphere (within the UK) are admitting that it’s being covered up by those in power:

The liberal/leftist/woke/“speak no ill” mind virus is beyond cancer at this point.

It’s interesting how overreactive they are when they’re slighted, but under-react if it doesn’t serve their agenda, or it makes them look bad. Zero accountability. They are taking on increasingly dystopic measures.

>>96180679
I am actually a moralfag and it didn't bother me

Also, I think the scene you are talking about is the one with Eris pre turning point, and she was effectively offering to bang him there

>>96180752
She wasn't offering to bang her, she was just okay with some light touching. She's this vulnerable girl who trusts nobody and she decides to trust him and he uses his adult knowledge to try and have sex with a kid. She was super uncomfortable and started screaming if I recall.

I'm not sure what you mean by turning point because I dropped the show after that.

>1
Disable the buttons with Tech (it's Curses, pretend with a tv remote, Curses the receptionists too and the first ammo of each gun to be a dud, hopefully that will stop them from cycling if they are used).

Use Force (Curses) to snap neck or slow/crippled/trap them and punch them.

Curses the trap (just weaken) and tank them, maybe throw the offices' supplies and furnitures everywhere to mess with the traps first.

Teleport or jump around and use Curses and Space to have the spirits fight each other.

Curses the arena to stall the boss and have it waste its mana on the rest of the team, Curses the weaker pact minions to make a mess/get in the way of the stronger enemies and maybe bless the team.

>Ultimate Art:
Distorted World (Illusion Domain): Distorts the laws of reality within the domain. Passively, laws become chaotic, making reality seem like an abstract painting, interfering with all functions, and causing mass destruction. Actively, laws can be controlled to, for example, enhance all actions of oneself and hinder all actions of the enemy.

A way to hinder the enemy with laws is to make them unsupportive of certain types of magic, making those cost more, less effective, and more difficult to use. For example, arranging laws in such a way that matter is impossible to form and be maintained naturally would interfere with flora, frost, sacrifice, earth, etc. and cause constant damage to anything composed of matter (magical things—non-magical matter would immediately have unraveled). Some types of magic may be outright impossible, such as rituals that rely on the environment, at least without bypassing the domain and connecting to the outside world.

Examples of advanced applications (adept, master, specialist, respectively) of the domain: changing the default passive chaos to another, more deliberate, setting (which may still seem chaotic, intentionally or not); the establishment of a new natural order to distort the world to the extent that it seems to have become another, possibly unrecognizably foreign, world; and rapidly partitioning, adjusting, and switching natural orders.

Used in conjunction with my schools of magic, I have supreme control of the battlefield.

Fulltime luminary.

>Contacts:
Klaus, Marie, Yue

>Missions:
Maddened Sister, Corrupted Spill: Pilot them to target high value corporation facilities, hehehe.

Since there is no payment for the missions, with the information available, I find there to be insufficient benefits in proportion to the risks in doing any of the others. I may change my mind on them if I learn that they have valuable loot.

To grow stronger, I won't foolishly court death like regular luminaries. I will instead use the orthodox mage methods of training, research, stealing resources and knowledge, and employing magical means such as alchemy, enchantment, and ritualism to empower myself. Convincing other luminaries of the superiority of my way of growth is a matter of course. I will create a group of like-minded luminaries to steal from the corporations.

While I am highly proficient in most areas of combat, in regards to attack, my area of effect damage is high, but my single target damage is low, which inevitably makes fights against enemies of the same level long battles of attrition, something situationally undesirable. To remedy this flaw, I will craft an insidious weapon: the Soul Degeneration Void Needle. Its three most important qualities will be:
1. Stealth: No energy emanations, no spatial-temporal fluctuations, imperceptible to most forms of detection. The target may be unaware of having been attacked until they "inexplicably" falter.
2. Defense penetration: Exploits flaws in and phases through barriers, armor, structures, etc.
3. Lethality: Due to everything in having magic resistance that scales to their power, being tanky is the default, so one should forget about one shotting anyone on the same level with anything but a dedicated attack ultimate art. In light of this, rather than conventional damage, the needle's true lethality comes from the spiritual poison it injects into the target's soul.

Room 3: To deal with the imp, lock space around it, kill it, and replace it with an illusory replica.
Room 4: As one of the most knowledgeable luminaries on non-combat magic, I can navigate the traps safely.

>Room 6
Avoid confrontation, hide, and regroup with the party. I will probably be the one bringing us back together since I have both illusion and space magic. My domain is good for this group fight.

>Room 7
The boss' arguably most dangerous Illusion, Space, and Time magic are counteracted by me. Her minions from Bio-Shifting, Death, and Pact are weakened by my domain. My needle ought to do great damage to her. We will win this.

>Room 8
My domain will mess with the ritual, which will increase the time we have, and cause greater internal conflict among the enemies. I can point out the weak points (innate or otherwise) of the magic circle to the team for luminaries with attack ultimate arts to target. We ought to win this. If we don't, I'll grab the team and as much loot as I can and use a prepared ultralong distance portal scroll to escape to outer space.

>>96180795
The actual effects of this domain are extremely unclear, especially with the use of the vague term "natural order".

>>96180836
It has to be, to be able to automatically counter everyone else's magic no matter the school by just making them not work.

>>96180836
The domain changes how gravity, friction, magnetism, and other "laws" work. The "natural order" is how the world works overall, the sum of all laws.

>>96180799
I get that the needle attack is a custom spell you are working on via gifted (you really should say that though), but soul based attacks are a spirit specialization exclusive so I don't think you will be able to develop the third attribute.

>>96180844
Laughs in "Domains cannot be necessarily unfair". Illegal build anon.

>>96180844
They work, just worse. It's a debuff, essentially.

>>96180848
It's an item, actually. Crafting is mostly outside of the purview of luminary magic, so while I'm sure that taking some levels in spirit magic would help, it's not that big of a deal.

>>96180859
You won't be able to enchant it without spirit anon.

>>96180847
Gravity isn't a law, it's a force
A law is a tool used to predict outcomes, a force is something that happens
Laws are implications of the base forces, implications of implications and so on

>>96180869
He obviously meant the laws of physics anon, don't be so pedantic. Still his domain is pretty munchkiny and he just gave himself a god item out of nowhere, so I can't really say I am on his side.

>>96180865
You don't need to take spirit magic to learn spirit magic. All you buy with AP is talent with luminary (combat) applications of those magics.

>>96180883
I'm not giving myself it, I'm saying I will craft it. Come on, future plans. Don't you want to do something other than "become stronger by fighting become stronger by fighting become stronger by fighting"? Learn other magic than the ones you bought?

/cyoag/ is a disgusting hybrid mutt baby of /cyoar/ and /mcyoag/ now
Thanks a lot Rake

>>96180893

>>96180883
No, it's an extremely vague description that can do almost anything
Laws are invented things and they massively overlap, biology has laws, as does chemistry, as do the humanities
He doesn't describe it in a way that has any consistent interpretation
"I make it so that matter can not exist" What law is that? what is matter in this context? What does it mean?

>>96180901

>>96180913

>>96180888
There is no crafting system anon and it is ridiculously OP. If you vaguely said you were going to work on expanding your abilities via rituals and crafting and maybe gave one or two balanced examples of what you were working on I would accept it. But you just gave yourself an instant kill Undodgeable weapon that pierces defenses and ignores scaling. That's BS

>>96180908
Can you really not think of a way to make matter unnatural with some tweaks to the strong force, weak force, and electromagnetism?

The laws of nature, physics, are just our own observations. Theories are how we explain them. Our reasoning.

The laws of physics are challenged if we observe something to be impossible - as it is clearly possible.

>>96180836
>>96180844
It also feel more like a Domain using Specialised Curses to me, since it doesn't use the fact that illusion get stronger with affected mind, while disrupting magic like curses.

>Thanks a lot Rake
I'm sorry...

>>96180924
It's supposed to be the end product of many years. Of course it's inappropriate to have it from the start and I don't claim to do that, only that I will make it. I'll be using an inferior version of the described and improve it over time.

Alright, I'm sorry for not being clear on getting the above message across.

Why don't luminaries just craft items to use every kind of magic? Are they stupid?

>>96180929
I cannot think of any tweaks to any of those that does not cause an instant nuclear explosion, no
If it weakend those forces it would necessarily either release the energy (Instant death) or create it. if it creates that much energy the moment the domain is "Turned off", the entire city gets wiped off the map
Particles can leave the domain, so it can't be a closed system

>>96180944
Bitch. Physicists are autistic and pedantic all the fucking time, to EACH other. They argue about the meaning of matter like it helps the discussion, or science, at all. “Is it really matter if it is no mass?” “Photons are particles idiot, of course they’re matter!”.

Hey, Rake! I just wanted to say, thank you for making cyoas. It's always fun to see that you've made something new.

>>96180953
You did good

>>96180953
Don't do it Teto!

>>96180978
Is it? Its hiding and phasing are from force, space, time, and illusion and I don't think it does anything those magics can't do except for the spiritual poison. The target will know they have been poisoned when it kicks in and they feel the effects, at which point they are still far from death.

Maybe I underestimate it. I probably do.

>>96180953

>>96181037
>We never have breakthroughs
Once upon a time anon

>>96181027
If the target's senses or defenses are better than the hiding or phasing of the needle, they can sense or block it. Just about everyone can heal, so even if they can't solve the poison, they can probably still last long enough to run away to find help.

Ok, I get it, my wording makes the needle seem too op. I'll update in the next thread with a better description.

>>96181024
But anon, those poor shitposters wanted to argue about American politics, or perhaps ritual post about Tok! Don't you feel bad for them being drowned out by legitimate CYOA discussion!?

>>96180953
Stupid, the aim of the gun is wrong, she is going to blow up her face but miss her brain.

>>96181042

>>96181047
>If the target has [specific counter] then they can use [specific counter 2] to undo the damage that cost me nothing and had no risk
>If not they die
It's a magic soul killing needle that bypasses defenses

>>96181053
When you put it that way... I feel terrible.
Maybe we should split the thread again. We can put all of the author wank and politics in the new one, free to do as it pleases.

Whats wrong with fate

>>96181060
Such a waste of education and funding. I will have no sympathy when the world finally tires of your excuses and cuts you off.

>>96181080
Isn't this how every assassin works though??? Find the assassin and avoid their attack or suffer. The needle doesn't kill immediately. Even if the target is hit, they are still more or less fine for a while and know about being poisoned.

>>96181097
It makes you retarded. I’m serious. It’s a horrible thing.

I am a little salty everyone's builds got cool names and I didn't even get a rating or name. Did the Miku build just distract people from mine existing after it? I even did a whole multi-post crappy write up.

>>96181344
Link it

>>96181293
I am more than willing to discuss ultimates if they are in good faith but it does bring out the power gamers without a sense of balance.

For example I played around with a second form ultimate I would call "one man army" that would allow for the creation of duplicates. I didn't go with it because I couldn't find a way to justify it with my chosen specs (physicality and celerity, it's more of a space or time spec) and I was unsure if I could cleverly extend its duration with sacrifice magic (does each clone have it's own life force or do we share one).

>>96181344
Anon, please link the build
I like you, and I want to hear from you

>>96181344
Please link it, I can't find any such build after "Defense Penetration" unless your build is "Teleporting Assassin", a 2-post build using an image of Senator Armstrong in a wizard hat. Said build is already on the build list and got a rating.

That took me way longer than usual to figure out what to do. My build seems pretty basic for my actual plans and I just realized I didn't describe my super form because I wasn't sure how to characterize it with how much I already mutate as it is. Just imagine everything glowing or getting darker depending on if the lighting is to my advantage.

What do you mean? That wouldn't lower the character count. Though yeah I did rush my descriptions. I got a little excited with the idea of solving the setting.

>>96178909

Neat. I'll take a crack at this using my build "Ambush Predator." I'll be coordinating the mission objectives with the Magical Girls...but I ain't going to be going there to babysit them personally, risk a Magical Girl blabbingmy access to Dark Side stuff. Iris can act as outside coordination, with Marie and Yue being decent tard wranglers for the situation. Likewise, most of my Dark abilities are either extremely coincidental (such as slightly decaying gear or terrain pieces to make them slowly fall apart at the seems, while using Shrouded Magic) or are far far away from the actual scene of battle (my Undead slipping in as double agents under the call to action or sabotaging the ritual from afar). I'll slip into the building solo ahead of the party pretending to be a high ranking Dark Sorcerer.

Room 1 : Going well ahead of the main party, pretending to be a Dark Sorcerer, I get through the Entryway. I make use of subtle tech-magic and decay-magic to decay the panic buttons and gun turrets to uselessness.

Room 2 : Undead under my command, throw grand entertainment for the guests of the Lounge as distraction. While this is done, a Bartender slips in some poisons into the drinks, to kill the guests slowly and just for good measure, a bomb is set up in the room to blow the entire room to kingdom come if the Bartender fails. If it works, this denies the enemy reinforcements. If it doesn't, I'll try to get at least a little winning out of this, by pinning my undead's bodies with as much incriminating evidence that they're from one of the Corporations, to sow distrust.

Room 3 : Marie binds and shoots it down. Just in case that fails, I've already prepped the area using subtle magic of decay and tech to sabotage the Imp's chane of success.

Room 4 : Walk past the room, sabotage all the traps using technomancy & decay magic so they start failing in like 15 minutes after I've walked past them.

>>96181583
Room 5: The mooks may be immune to direct magic, but their environment is not. Use the decay magic and tech magic to gum the traps and make their weapons worthless in about a few minutes time when the Magical Girls arrive on the scene. Otherwise, just go through the checkpoint normally.

Room 6 : I can probably gain knoweldge of the acid trap if I'm a corporate inside, and I'll use my tech magic to survive it. The Dark Spirits will require me to dig deep into my Undead Forces to be able to have even a chance against them. Which isn't an option if the Magical Girls are already here. And me getting clearance to reach beyond Room 5 to walk in further, is dicey. Past this point, I'll be mostly going back to a supportive role. Since I've fucked up every other floor's traps to be defective, most of those who've entered should be alive.

Room 7 : Can't risk being seen helping the Magical Girls openly without blowing my cover, and without me, this girl's going to just slaughter all of em. The Magical Girls I've brought stop here. If I've already needed to clear room 6 by brute force, I've likely expended a ton of my good arsenal by that point, which means it's unlikely I'll be able to get through two more hard battles in a row. If I've made it past floor 6 while pretending to be a Dark Sorcerer, they'll probably let me past floor 7 & 8, as floor 6 & 7 have no real actual utility as areas, and are only there as defenses or checkpoints.

Room 8 : If I make it this far while pretending to be a Dark Sorcerer, I subtly smudge a ton of other people's works with decay magic, to cause the ritual to peter out on itself. If I don't, as a hail mary, I'll pre ensure the materials sent to them are subtly sub-standard, and mess up their ritual instructions, to cause the ritual to peter out on itself. I'm not fighting the Dark Sorcerers 20 vs 1, or even 20 vs however many dead I have, unless I absolutely have too, because that blows my cover.

>>96181596
Post Challenge : Straight up, though....I'll say my builds odds greatly increase if I don't need to tip toe around my own allies and can use my powers openly in front of them. Which is like part of my whole plan, with Iris being a no-lifer I can use to add extra hours to my day, my ideas for a magical girl internet in order to help reach younger magical girls to lower early mortality rates, and my research into fundamental magic to see just how far humanity's potential actually goes.

Extra Novice Level in any one magic school. Combined with my magic choices I think this should let-me make a living symbiote Outfit. Basically something that's a mix of the Marvel Symbiotes, Spawn Symbiont, Warframes, etc. that work alongside my shapeshifting, and conceal itself into a smaller form that I can always have on me.

>>Bio-Shifting-[3]

I believe the Free Novice level from Witch-Like Outfit should let me get 3 levels of Space. I choose Tech + Time + Space so that I could turn myself into a timelord, because if I'm reading everything correctly I should be able to just spam my time stop and reverse time magic for opportunities to study, practice, and experiment. So I could just copy Hermione or Doctor Strange and rapidly master everything. I also plan on using my Tech skills to build all kinds of crazy biotech and superpowered biosynthetic creatures.

I hate to be the "but actually" person, but Luminary Time Magic is fairly limited in duration, with it saying that anything beyond a dozen seconds at a time being arduous. Any significant enough speed up in training time, would require way deeper reserves than would be feasible for your build. Consequently, for similar reasons that time paradoxes and whatnot aren't common in this setting, because going more than like a few minutes at absolute most would require an incredibly potent ritual to achieve.

>>96181911
If you want to use Time magic to get a lot of extra time you're gonna need Hungry Magic and a leyline. Spamming it will just leave you with no mana to practice with. And if you just want more time to read I think Nocturnal would be better.

Based on his later actions, I think it was being rescued by Muggles from his burning house. He'd been skewing Dark because of how Muggle kids abused his sister, right up until the fire. Then Muggles saved his life, and presto! Dumbledore's suddenly all about second chances.
