GOD POWER: HEIMDALL

god power: heimdall.

❧ the god of loyalty and vigilance.
Born into a world full of chaos and violence, Heimdall found his purpose in acting as a shield between Yggdrasil and its own destructive tendencies. If life is to continue to thrive and prosper, there must be those willing to protect it, and this is Heimdall's calling. He may not have the Sight that the Allfather has, but that only means he must work harder to keep an ever vigilant eye on Yggdrasil and Her children. Heimdall is relentless in his servitude and fiercely loyal, feeling his duty to his people in his core. There will always be war; there will always be death - and there will always be Heimdall standing steadfast inbetween. There is no rest for a soldier whose cause is eternal.

❧ heimdall's realm of magic.

Abjuration Magic

Abjuration is a school of magic that protects, blocks, and banishes. Abjurations are protective spells. They create physical or magical barriers, negate magical or physical abilities, harm trespassers, or even banish the subject of the spell to another plane of existence. You can find a list of Abjuration spells here.

Conjuration Magic

Conjuration is a school of magic that brings creatures or materials to the caster. Conjurations bring manifestations of objects, creatures, or some form of energy to you (the summoning subschool), actually transport creatures from another plane of existence to your plane (calling), heal (healing), transport creatures or objects over great distances (teleportation), or create objects or effects on the spot (creation). You can find a list of Conjuration spells here.

Power Set Samples

Abjuration:

Power Set Justification

Level One: Blade Ward: Tracing an arcane sigil in the air, you grant yourself resistance to physical damage dealt by weapons; spell effects will still affect you. Damage you receive from physical attacks is lessened for up to four hours.
Level Two: Warding Bond: This spell wards a willing creature you touch and creates a mystic connection between you and the target for four hours. While the target is within 60 feet of you, they are harder to hit and do not take as much damage from attacks. However, each time the affected creature is injured, you are injured in the same way. The spell ends if you are killed or if you and the target become separated by more than 60 feet. It also ends if the spell is cast again on either of the connected creatures. You can dismiss the spell at will.
Level Three: Death Ward: You touch a creature and grant it a measure of protection from death for the next two hours. If the target receives a blow that would normally kill it, they are instead rendered incapacitated for one second, before regaining control of their body and healing small wounds. The spell ends as soon as its effects are triggered or if you cast it on another creature.

Conjuration:

Power Set Justification

Level One: Ensnaring Strike: The next target you hit with a non-fatal melee attack is suddenly surrounded by translucent, magical vines that appear in the air. The target can dodge their grip and the vines disappear. If they can’t evade their sudden grasp, they remain constrained for 10 minutes as they’re slowly constricted. They can attempt to hack and slash at the vines if they can manage to free a limb or other usable appendage.
Level Two: Conjure Barrage: You throw a weapon or fire a piece of ammunition into the air to create a cone of identical weapons that shoot forward and then disappear. Each creature in a 120 foot cone in a direction of your choice up to 20 feet away from you must attempt to dodge or else take large amounts of damage from the weapons. Creatures that cannot dodge run the risk of being impaled and pinned to the ground; if any allies are within the area of the cone, you may exclude them from the effect, though doing so will deplete the number of projectiles. The weapons remain for one hour, and may be pulled from the ground to use.
Level Three: Incendiary Storm: A swirling cloud of smoke shot through with white-hot embers appears in a 20 foot radius sphere centered on a point within 120 feet of you. The cloud spreads around corners and obscures the area it occupies, and lasts for up to an hour if you do not end the spell early. If you choose, the cloud may form a nucleus around you and up to six allies, protecting you and your allies from physical attacks. Any creature that attempts to enter or leave the storm will take large amounts of fire damage.

You may select or adapt either of these power sets for use!

❧ how to pick your power.
All of this crazy nonsense said, there are three ways you can choose your power:

pick one of the above samples: the easiest solution! We've already presented you with two power sets following a logical progression of development within your god's realm of magic. You can swap some levels out or adapt them in some way, but it's there if you'd like to rely on it.
pick spells from the D&D spell list: this may require some finagling, but we highly recommend this! Follow the links above to select three spells by increasing level that seem related to each other in some logical way. You may pick any three spells you wish, but the levels should follow the general guideline of:
1. First Level: cantrip - 2nd level
2. Second Level: 2nd level - 5th level
3. Third Level: 5th level - 9th level
If some spells don't make sense, or if you know what they do but don't know how it would work in game, let us know and we'll help you adapt it to our world. If you find one spell you like but you don't know what to do about the others, let us know and we can provide suggestions for the rest. If you are familiar with the D&D spell system and want to create a set that is relevant to your god's domain but is not in their listed schools of magic, you can still apply for it as an original set!
provide a well-balanced original power set of your own: this will be highly scrutinized by the mods for fairness, so plan accordingly! Consider your god's domains and realm of magic, and come up with one central power along with two logical levels of progression building upon that core magic. The levels should be appropriately along the lines of: weak - strong - powerful. There must also be reasonable limitations on your suggested power. The mods may make adjustments as they see fit before approval. You may use the Superpower Wiki if you'd like, but please provide links for reference.

To submit your power for approval, copy the appropriate form below and reply to this post with CHARACTER NAME - CANON in the title of your comment. A mod will respond to your comment with APPROVED/REVISIONS/REJECTED along with clearer descriptions of your powers or additional comments. We'll have a little bit of back and forth conversation on this post (or in private if you prefer; feel free to contact us) to hash out the details, so don't be afraid if we respond with revisions! We're really excited to be giving you guys customizable powers so we hope you'll work with us in making this manageable.

D&D spell set

original set

❧ ready to level up?

Have you been active within your community in Asgard? Have you hosted an event or built an establishment or otherwise contributed to the development of your district? Have you forged a meaningful relationship with your god? Has living in Asgard contributed to your development as a person in some way? Or has your presence in Asgard contributed to someone else's development as a person, whether it be by positive or negative means? There are many different ways to "qualify" for leveling up; the point is that we want to see true development in yourself, your god, or your world. We want to see how you are shaping Asgard, or how Asgard is shaping you. This investment is what strengthens the bond between you and your god, granting you access to greater levels of power. If you need help figuring out what this justification might look like for your character, please contact us so we can guide you to your next level!

That said, there will be an activity requirement and a short written explanation of what your character has accomplished and developed here in Asgard. This doesn't need to be fancy or anything, we just really want to see your character getting something out of the game and being rewarded with some kickass new powers. As of right now, the level up requirements are as follows:

Level Two:
- Activity Requirement: 50 comments with at least five different characters (5 comments minimum from your character per thread), each showing some type of "development" or "growth" as described above. You may use up to seven threads to meet the 50 comment requirement. All comments posted in-character on the network and log communities and IC inboxes are valid for these proofs. Threads may be from no longer than six months prior to your application. This should give you plenty of time to build upon a slow-burn development, such as projects that take a long time to complete or relationships that change over time. Show us something good or maybe even something bad happening to your character that has in some way pushed them to grow. Let us peep on some on some of your more meaningful threads!
- Written Requirement: write no less than five sentences describing your character's growth as a result of their actions or influence in Asgard. Are they happy? Are they scared? Has Asgard made them see something in a new light, or are they now focused on something drastically different than their home life? You can consider this a basic summary of what your character has done during their time in Asgard and how this may have affected them. This doesn't need to be very fancy or long, whatever you think is enough to show some small amount of development for your character.
Level Three:
- Activity Requirements: 75 comments with at least three different characters (7 comments minimum from your character per thread), each showing a significant amount of "development" or "growth" for your character. You may use may use up to five threads to meet the 50 comment requirement. You may only reuse two of the same characters from your Level Two application, and you cannot reuse the same threads. All comments posted in-character on the network and log communities and IC inboxes are valid for these proofs. Threads may be from no longer than three months prior to your application. This is because we specifically want to see something profound happen for your character that affects them as a person in some way. Level Three is the "powerful" stage of your power, which means your bond with your god and/or your district is at its strongest. Why? What happened? What changed for them? What are they committed to now that they might not have been beforehand? What have they gained or lost that has shifted their outlook or priorities? We want to see deep character development and the threads where it all happened.
- Written Requirement: write no less than seven sentences describing the growth your character has gone through overall in Asgard. Build upon what you told us about in your Level Two application without reusing too much of the same information. Tell us about something your character influenced that has had a deep impact on either you, your god, or Asgard and Yggdrasil overall. How has your character's time in Asgard changed something on a profound level? Brag about it and let us soak in the awesomeness of your accomplishments. The major things we're looking for are 1) a major change in a character's personality or behaviour compared to them entering the game, 2) a way that your character has engaged with their Godhaus, and 3) a demonstration of their involvement with the setting in general (ie. magic, lore, major plot events, etc.)

When you're ready, copy the appropriate application below and respond to your original comment from when you first requested your power. Put CHARACTER NAME - LEVEL TWO/THREE APPLICATION in the title of your new comment. The mods will respond with APPROVED/REVISIONS/REJECTED along with an explanation of our decision and additional comments. To be quite frank, we're more invested in you having fun than being super strict about this whole process, so don't be afraid of feeling like you need to meet a certain standard or anything. This is honestly just a way for you to show us that you're doing something fun in the game, and we want to reward you for that with some new magic tricks. It's really as simple as that! If you're ever uncertain, give us what you have and we'll work with you on it, and always feel free to contact us directly for help.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Player Name: Teresa
Character Name: Lord John Grey (

iustise)
Canon: The Outlander Series
School of Magic: Conjuration
Power Set Justification: These spells are essentially "the magical evolution of an English army officer"
Power Set:

Level One: Sword Burst: When he should need the assistance, a momentary burst of spectral blades will sweep around him during battle.
Level Two: Find Greater Steed: Lord John would be able to summon a fey spirit that assumes the form of a loyal, majestic mount -- I am thinking a Pegasus, since he has a lot of experience with battle on horseback. This creature would be able to understand English, communicate with him telepathically, and all other abilities/restrictions mentioned in the link would also apply.
Level Three: Steel Wind Strike: Lord John would be able to strike with a weapon so fast it would appear as though he were to vanish. Covering a distance of 30 feet in the blink of an eye, Lord John will also be able to strike as many as 5 enemies within this single blow as he does.

Edited (changed my mind about level 3 request, my apologies) 2019-06-08 20:22 (UTC)

In balancing your power set with the other abilities being considered in the game, we would like to rearrange your spells a little bit. We discovered Steel Wind Strike is better suited to a second level ability (which will actually be adjusted in our sample set as well eventually), and we consider summoning a flying mount to be a third level ability. We're super into having a pegasus fly around, but there will have to be limitations to keep the levels relatively equal in power across the board. It's essentially the same spell with a time limit to match the others.

Here are our suggestions for the final wording of your set:

Level One: Sword Burst: You create a momentary circle of spectral blades that sweep around up to two creatures of your choice and last for 1 minute. Any creature within 5 feet of the designated target(s) that does not dodge out of the way will get cut by the blades.
Level Two: Steel Wind Strike: You attack up to 5 creatures within 30 feet of you in one movement, forcing each of them backwards 5 feet. On your last strike, you can teleport either near one of them or 30 feet away.
Level Three: Conjure Pegasus: You summon a spirit that assumes the form of a loyal, majestic pegasus and appears within an unoccupied space up to 30 feet away from you. For up to 1 hour, the mount can understand your speech and will obey your commands to the best of its ability. You can communicate telepathically with the mount as long as it is within 1 mile of you, and you can control it in combat. The mount can carry up to two passengers, but flying with two passengers will shorten the spell to 30 minutes. If you are still airborne when the spell ends, you have 1 minute to safely land before you begin to fall. When it disappears, it leaves behind any objects it was wearing or carrying. This spell ends early if the mount takes damage.

Let us know if these sound good to you, or if you'd like to make any other adjustments!

That switch between level two and level three sounds good to me!!

Just so that I am understanding correctly, the pegasus would only be available for an hour at a time. Can he summon it immediately again or is there a waiting period that must be observed? Also it can be controlled in combat, but can it be summoned outside of what would be considered a "combat" situation?

He would discover these things himself as he goes ofc (once he hits level three) but I just wanted to ask myself so we could have it all ironed out from the start.

Thanks so much, mods, I really appreciate it!!

Edited (clarification!) 2019-06-18 12:09 (UTC)

At third level, you'll be able to cast that spell three times, and there doesn't need to be a delay between casting. You can also use your abilities at any time, in or out of combat, so he'd have plenty of time to figure it all out once he reaches that level. :)

If this all sounds good, we'll go ahead and move forward with your app!

Sorry, just want to ask for a little more clarification -- I am assuming you mean three times per day and not three times total (aka ever) but I just want to make sure that is correct before I have him summon it for something dumb and then in fact actually lose one of his three attempts ever or sth lmao

ASSUMING it does mean 3 times per day though I'm good with all of the above!! C:

accepted.

All characters begin at Level One; see the above to learn how to level up your power. Remember that your ability to use magic is finite. You can only use your god powers a certain amount each day before your "battery" is considered drained, at which point you will feel physically weak and exhausted. Pushing yourself past this point will result in death. The amount of energy expended each time you use your power decreases as you level up.

At first level, consider yourselves capable of using your god power no more than roughly five times a day. The more you have to focus on maintaining the effects of a spell, the faster your "battery" will drain.

As a note, you will be able to cast your third level ability 3 times per day once you reach that level.

If you have any questions, even if you're in the middle of a thread and not sure about how to use your power, always feel free to contact a mod for help! Have fun with your new powers!

Hello! We've recently gone through our compendium of spells and added some buffs to almost all of them. This makes your spells stronger out of the gate, without having to level up in order to make your Level One and Level Two spells more and more useful. You will still have to level up in order to get new spells, as well as be able to cast them more times per day, but they'll be as strong as possible as soon as you receive them. The only exception is your Level One spell receiving a little extra spice once you reach Level Three.

These are your new spells, which will be available immediately:

Level One: Sword Burst: You create a momentary circle of spectral blades that sweep around up to five creatures of your choice and last for 10 minutes. Any creature within five feet of the designated target(s) that does not dodge out of the way will get cut by the blades.

Level Two: Steel Wind Strike: You attack up to seven creatures within 30 feet of you in one movement, forcing each of them backwards 10 feet. On your last strike, you can teleport either near one of them or 30 feet away.

Level Three: Conjure Pegasus: You summon a spirit that assumes the form of a loyal, majestic pegasus and appears within an unoccupied space up to 30 feet away from you. For up to four hours, the mount can understand your speech and will obey your commands to the best of its ability. You can communicate telepathically with the mount as long as it is within 1 mile of you, and you can control it in combat. The mount can carry up to two passengers. If you are still airborne when the spell ends, you have 1 minute to safely land before you begin to fall. When it disappears, it leaves behind any objects it was wearing or carrying. This spell ends early if the mount takes damage.

These buffs tie into our mini event for this month, but will be yours from here on out. You feel a surge within your body, inherently feeling more powerful and as if your fingers are tingling in anticipation, ready to test out your new capabilities.

Please feel free to ask any questions about the mechanics or spells if you have them!

Player Name: Caprica
Character Name: Sora (

keybearing)
Canon: Kingdom Hearts
School of Magic: Abjuration
Power Set Justification: Protecting others. After all, his friends are his power etc. As Sora always says. He can't have those bonds if said friends get killed. Mage Armor is similar enough to early Aero spells being more defensive than offensive in creating a barrier of wind, and Sora has been known to take blows for friends and has helped bring them back, so.
Power Set:

Level One: Mage Armor: Sora can cast a spell to place a magical set of armor on himself/others to reduce damage taken in combat.
Level Two: Warding Bond: This spell wards a willing creature you touch and creates a mystic connection between you and the target for up to an hour. The affected creature becomes hardier, taking less damage than they would normally, and you suffer the same amount of damage they take.
Level Three: Death Ward: You touch a creature and grant it a measure of protection from death. The first time the affected creature would be knocked unconscious or killed, they revive with a thin breadth of life, and the spell ends.

I'm not sure if there will be a limit regarding how many people he can use Warding Bond/Death Ward to? Actually, or Mage Armor since I know anything that is not a cantrip in D&D has certain limits regarding how many times you can cast spells per day/rest.

accepted.

❧ your god powers work as follows:

Level One: Mage Armor: You touch a willing creature within 5 feet of you; a warm, protective light surrounds that creature, granting it an extra measure of protection. For the next 5 minutes, the target of the spell is slightly less susceptible to harm; after those 5 minutes, the light fades and the spell ends.
Level Two: Warding Bond: This spell wards a willing creature you touch and creates a mystic connection between you and the target for up to 1 hour. While the target is within 60 feet of you, they are harder to hit and do not take as much damage from attacks. However, each time the affected creature is injured, you are injured in the same way. The spell ends if you are killed or if you and the target become separated by more than 60 feet. It also ends if the spell is cast again on either of the connected creatures. You can dismiss the spell at will.
Level Three: Death Ward: You touch a creature and grant it a measure of protection from death for the next hour. If the target receives a blow that would normally kill it, they are instead rendered incapacitated for one second, before regaining control of their body and healing small wounds. The spell ends as soon as its effects are triggered or if you cast it on another creature.

Fifth Proof: LINK - 11th October - Turgon (

Written Requirement: Sora has had to figure settling in more, given he's spent more time here than he has any world back home except the Islands. He's made bonds and connections with lots of new friends, and made more connection with some from home he didn't get as much time with given various situations as well. He's fought in the battle against the walkers, and that definitely opened his eyes more on how dangerous things get here and how much more vulnerable he is here in comparison without his usual abilities back home. That's probably been his biggest struggle while here yet, in figuring his new powers and dealing with how much more...I don't want to say he's helpless, because he isn't entirely, but how powerless he feels in comparison to back home even if he still went to fight and still wants to help however he can, even if he might be learning he can't be quite as reckless now as he used to be. Oh, and he also helped introduce some of the Wanderers and probably the natives as well to ice cream! That too. Which is also clearly important to mention. And Christmas. He helped Peter as well, with his ship to try and help figure the idea for harnessing the wind.

He's been practicing his basic training/sparring and continuing to do his best in practicing his new powers to get the hang of Mage Armor as well. Trying to keep himself from getting too rusty with fighting while here. He's also been starting to write down a journal of sorts to take notes of the events that happen during his time here, because of Jiminy back home keeping one, and he feels it will help? Hopefully? To have a record of what is going on in Asgard as well.

(And honestly, if I need to revise/edit or give other links or such, just let me know! I was kinda unsure on which to link that might work best but Sora's been pretty active and out and about, so.)

Edited 2020-01-03 05:36 (UTC)

I apologize for the delay in getting back to you about this!

While your written requirement is great, and fully illustrates some good development Sora has gone through during the game, we would like to see some different links provided that better showcase what you've described. The threads with Asterios and the last Turgon example are great in showing off examples that you mention in the written portion, and it's good to see Sora socializing with people and sharing perspectives, but please show off two more threads, five comments or more from you that illustrate Sora's development in game.

No worries, no rush. I know ooc things have been hectic and there's been the holidays and all, so it's all good.

As for new threads, let me know if these work?

Event log thread with Chizuru from December

Along with Namine's thread on the October event there. We've been at it since so it's kinda longer (way more than the required five comments.....) but. I hope it helps in having a decent length thread there in figuring his thoughts on things prior to the battle itself. And regarding home/Namine and his time with her here.

accepted.

❧ congratulations on reaching level two!
As your character continues to develop and form bonds of their own in Asgard, the more they can tap into the magic that tethers them here. This change is both gradual and instantaneous; one day, they will simply realize they are capable of more than they were beforehand.

Your god power has changed in the following ways:

Level One

Mage Armor now lasts up to 10 minutes and can be cast on a creature within 20 feet.
You are capable of using this god power roughly 7 times a day.

Level Two

You can now cast Warding Bond.
You are capable of using this god power roughly 3 times a day.

❧ what happens next.
Remember that your ability to use magic is finite. You can only use your god powers a certain amount each day before your "battery" is considered drained, at which point you will feel physically weak and exhausted.

The spell ends as soon as its effects are triggered or if you cast it on another creature.

Player Name: Sarah/fahrbot
Character Name: Wei Wuxian (

yiling_laozu)
Canon: The Untamed
School of Magic: Abjuration
Power Set Justification: I chose warding for Wei Wuxian's power set, for even though trying to save everyone ultimately brought about his downfall, he's stubborn and still on his bullshit. Each ability builds on levels of protection to those his magic touches.
Power Set:

Level One: Shield: Wei Wuxian can summon an invisible barrier of magical force to shield him and one companion from a single hit, magical or physical.
Level Two: Warding Bond: Wei Wuxian wards a companion or creature he touches and creates a mystic connection between them for the duration of up to an hour. The affected companion/creature becomes hardier, taking less damage than they would normally, and Wei Wuxian suffer the same amount of damage they take.
Level Three: Guards and Wards: Wei Wuxian creates a ward that protects up to 2,500 square feet of floor space that can be up to 20 feet tall, and shaped as desired. The spell can specify unaffected individuals at the time of casting, and generally protects an area with locked doors, fogged corridors, false walls, webbed stairways, and other non-lethal means of slowing an enemies approach.

accepted.

❧ your god powers work as follows:

Level One: Shield: An invisible barrier of magical force appears and protects you. The shield is only big enough to cover 1-2 humanoids, and vanishes after 10 minutes.

Level Two: Warding Bond: This spell wards a willing creature you touch and creates a mystic connection between you and the target for up to one hour. While the target is within 60 feet of you, they are harder to hit and do not take as much damage from attacks. However, each time the affected creature is injured, you are injured in the same way. The spell ends if you are killed or if you and the target become separated by more than 60 feet. It also ends if the spell is cast again on either of the connected creatures. You can dismiss the spell at will.
Level Three: Guards and Wards: You create a ward that protects up to 500 feet of floor space arranged however you'd like, but it must be one connected space rather than separate pieces. The warded area can be up to 10 feet tall, and shaped as you desire. When you cast this spell, you can specify individuals that are unaffected by the effect that you choose. You can also specify a password that, when spoken aloud, makes the speaker immune to the spell's effects. When you cast this spell, you must select one of the following effects: a) Fog fills all the warded corridors, making it difficult for creatures to see; b) All doors in the warded area are magically locked, as if sealed by an arcane lock spell; or c) Webs fill all stairs in the warded area from top to bottom, creating terrain that is difficult to pass through. These strands regrow in 10 minutes if they are burned or torn away while Guards and Wards lasts. This spell lasts for up to 4 hours, unless it is dispelled by a god or someone with Dispel Magic, though they would only be able to dispel one effect at a time.

❧ what happens next.
All characters begin at Level One; see the above to learn how to level up your power. Remember that your ability to use magic is finite. You can only use your god powers a certain amount each day before your "battery" is considered drained, at which point you will feel physically weak and exhausted. Pushing yourself past this point will result in death. The amount of energy expended each time you use your power decreases as you level up.

At first level, consider yourselves capable of using your god power no more than roughly five times a day. The more you have to focus on maintaining the effects of a spell, the faster your "battery" will drain.

If you have any questions, even if you're in the middle of a thread and not sure about how to use your power, always feel free to contact a mod for help! Have fun with your new powers!

ooOOOOooo danke!

Level One: Shield: An invisible barrier of magical force appears and protects you. The shield is only big enough to cover 1-2 humanoids, and vanishes after an hour. Any physical weapons that hit the barrier simply fall to the ground, though any magical spells will reverberate off the shield and hit another target nearby, if applicable.

Level Two: Warding Bond: This spell wards a willing creature you touch and creates a mystic connection between you and the target for four hours. While the target is within 60 feet of you, they are harder to hit and do not take as much damage from attacks. However, each time the affected creature is injured, you are injured in the same way. The spell ends if you are killed or if you and the target become separated by more than 60 feet. It also ends if the spell is cast again on either of the connected creatures. You can dismiss the spell at will.

Level Three: Guards and Wards: You create a ward that protects up to 500 feet of floor space arranged however you'd like, but it must be one connected space rather than separate pieces.

These strands regrow in 10 minutes if they are burned or torn away while Guards and Wards lasts. This spell lasts for up to two hours, unless it is dispelled by a god or someone with Dispel Magic, though they would only be able to dispel one effect at a time.

Player Name: Morgan
Character Name: Thea Queen (

redarrowqueen)
Canon: DCTV
Power Set Justification: Mostly inspired by her main skill set and use of archery plus a need to protect those close.
Power Set:

Level One: Inhuman aim. Thea is basically a female Hawkeye and can aim with pinpoint percision. But banking corners is a nightmare.
Level Two: Trick arrows on a dime. Can find and use any kind of trick arrow. Corners are better but she can't find explosive arrows
Level Three: I'm thinking a combo of her 1st two powers which makes both insane aim and trick arrow use. Finally can bank corners but saps her faster.

This took ages to think of so any and all help will be handy!

Hi there! Thank you so much for your patience on this - the holiday season has been rather ridiculous, but I wanted to let you know that we absolutely have not forgotten about you. Instead, we had some suggestions!

The main note is that your god powers are magic, so we gotta get some sparkly nonsense going in there rather than just a skill that can be expounded upon and trained up. Additionally, while your spells can all follow a central theme, they all power up as you get stronger, so variation among them is strongly suggested.

That in mind, these are our suggestions for your spells:

Level One: the Sharpshooter feat
Level Two: Swift Quiver
Level Three: Conjure Volley

If you like these, we can get the official wording for them squared away for you! If not, then we'll need to find new spells. Let us know what you think!

Sounds perfect!

Neat! Then with that in mind, these are our suggestions for your spells:

Level One: Sharpshooter: After casting this spell, a bead of clarity settles within you. For the next 5 minutes, firing a weapon comes as naturally as breathing and you can see your prey with an eagle's clear vision. When you fire at a target you can see within 60 feet of you, your shot hits its mark without fail; while it is not possible to fire around corners or curves, as long as even 1/4 of the enemy is visible you can still hit them.

Level Two: Swift Quiver: When you cast this spell, your quiver begins to deliver a near-endless supply of non-magical ammunition for the next 10 minutes. The ammunition must be of a type that already exists in the world, and you must have at least one piece of it already in the quiver for the spell to replicate for you. Any pieces of ammunition created by this spell disintegrate when the spell ends. If the quiver leaves your possession, the spell will end early.

Level Three: Conjure Barrage: You throw a weapon or fire a piece of ammunition into the air to create a cone of identical weapons that shoot forward and then disappear. Each creature in a 120-foot cone in a direction of your choice up to 20 feet away from you must attempt to dodge or else take large amounts of damage from the weapons. Creatures that cannot dodge run the risk of being impaled and pinned to the ground; if any allies are within the area of the cone, you may exclude them from the effect, though doing so will deplete the number of projectiles. The weapons remain for 10 minutes, and may be pulled from the ground to use.

An important note about Swift Quiver: as noted in the spell wording, the ammunition must already exist in the world. Trick arrows don't exist in Asgard — but, with planning and research, much like Peter Quill and his wind farm Thea may be able to build some! This could be a fun opportunity to work with your fellow Wanderers to see what you can concoct. If you do choose to go that route, please don't forget to stop by the Plot Request page so that we can help out.

Let us know what you think; if you like this wording, then we'll go ahead and make it official for you!

Thumbs up!

❧ your god powers work as follows:

While the target is within 60 feet of you, they are harder to hit and do not take as much damage from attacks. However, each time the affected creature is injured, you are injured in the same way.

Player Name: Zero
Character Name: Jet Star (

trafficreport)
Canon: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys
School of Magic: Abjuration
Power Set Justification: I did my best to select a primarily defensive spell set that would focus on protection of others rather than simply Jet himself, since that's the core to his character. He works best within his team and by extension, in conjunction with others, and consistently puts "greater" needs above his own. This is also a spellset that's meant to suit his vigilance and paranoia.
Power Set:

Level One: Alarm: Jet sets an alarm against unwanted intrusion upon a door, window, or area no larger than a twenty-foot cube. The spell lasts for eight hours, and will alert Jet if anyone touches or enters the warded area. If this occurs, a mental alarm will ping him in his mind if he is in within one mile of the warded area, and will awaken him if he's sleeping.
Level Two: Warding Bond: Allows Jet to form a mystical bond with a willing target for up to one hour. As long as they remain within a sixty foot radius of Jet, they are harder to hit and get some slightly reduced damage from attacks. Injury sustained by the target will also affect Jet in the same way.
Level Three: Antilife Shell: A shimmering barrier extends out from Jet in a 10-foot radius and moves with him, remaining centered on him and protecting up to five others. Physical objects, energy, and spells cannot pass through this barrier whether in or out. This barrier lasts for five minutes.

We're working on your spellset right now and had a quick question:

Since Antilife Shell specifically only keeps out creatures/beings, would you mind if we reskinned that one as a general Barrier spell instead to encompass physical objects and spells? Or would you rather keep Antilife Shell with that specific limitation?

Nah, I'm fine with reskinning it into a Barrier spell as needed! I'm easy

accepted.

❧ your god powers work as follows:

Level One: Alarm: Casting this spell sets an alarm against unwanted intrusion. Choose one door, window, or area within visual range that is no larger than a 20-foot cube. For the next 8 hours, an alarm alerts you whenever a creature of humanoid size or smaller touches or enters the warded area. When you cast the spell, you can designate creatures that won't set off the alarm. You also choose whether the alarm is mental or audible; an audible alarm can take any sound of your choosing and can be heard for up to 60 feet, and a mental alarm can be felt up to 1 mile away from the designated area. The mental alarm will rouse you from sleep.
Level Two: Warding Bond: This spell wards a willing creature you touch and creates a mystic connection between you and the target for four hours. While the target is within 60 feet of you, they are harder to hit and do not take as much damage from attacks. However, each time the affected creature is injured, you are injured in the same way. The spell ends if you are killed or if you and the target become separated by more than 60 feet. It also ends if the spell is cast again on either of the connected creatures. You can dismiss the spell at will.
Level Three: Barrier: A shimmering barrier extends out from you in a 30-foot radius and moves with you, remaining centered on you. No creatures, objects or spells can pass through the barrier in either direction. The barrier lasts for up to 4 hours and can protect up to 10 other creatures of your choice within range, as long as they are no larger than the average humanoid. All others are pushed out of the barrier and cannot physically pass or reach through for the duration of the spell. If you fall unconscious, the spell will end early.

Character Name: Shen Wei (

Canon: Guardian
School of Magic: Conjuration
Power Set Justification: Spells that teleport, Shen Wei's preferred method of travel in canon
Power Set:

Level One: Misty Step: Briefly surrounded by silvery mist, Shen Wei can teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space within view.
Level Two: Thunder Step: Similar to Misty Step, but with damage and a carry-on! She Wei can teleport to a visible, unoccupied space within 90 feet. In his wake, a thunderous boom sounds, and each creature within 10 feet of that space takes damage. Shen Wei can bring along objects or a creature within five feet of him as long as he can carry them.
Level Three: Steel Wind Strike: Shen Wei flourishes his glaive and then vanishes to strike like the wind, making a melee spell attack against up to five people/creatures/objects that he can see within 30 feet. He can then teleport to a visible, unoccupied space within 5 feet of one of the targets.

accepted.

❧ your god powers work as follows:

Level One: Misty Step: Briefly surrounded by silvery mist, you teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space that you can see.
Level Two: Thunder Step: You teleport to an unoccupied space you can see within 90 feet. Immediately after you disappear, a thunderous boom sounds, and each creature within 20 feet of the space you left is blasted backwards 20 feet in the resulting concussive force. You can bring along objects as long as their weight doesn’t exceed what you can carry, and can bring one creature of your size or smaller with you; however, there must be an unoccupied space within 5 feet of your destination space for the creature to appear in or the creature is left behind.
Level Three: Steel Wind Strike: You flourish the weapon used in the casting and then vanish to strike like the wind. You attack up to seven creatures within 30 feet of you in one movement, forcing each of them backwards 10 feet. On your last strike, you can teleport either near one of them or 30 feet away.

Player Name: Kara
Character Name: Stephen Strange (

wayoftheweird)
Canon: Marvel comics
School of Magic: Conjuration
Power Set Justification: Summoning weird shit
Power Set:

Level One: Find Familiar: Stephen will be able to conjure a familiar, which he will be able to communicate with telepathically, and see and hear what it hears. Because it can't attack or defend it will probably be more or less useless in combat, so the loss of Stephen's magic and now only having access to conjuring a weird pocket dimension animal will just further frustrate Stephen (and amuse me).
Level Two: Summon Aberrant Spirit: Stephen can conjure either a Beholderkin, Slaadi, or Star Spawn depending on his mood. How creepy is he feeling that day? They'll be friendly with him and his friends and will follow his commands, can attack who he tells it to, and defend him if no command is given.
Level Three: Conjure Elemental: This time Stephen can summon an elemental spirit depending on what element is present that he chooses, for instance a fire creature from a nearby bonfire. However, unlike the aberrant spirit, if Stephen's concentration is broken the elemental will escape his control and could attack him. Oops.
