To have your character marked Deceased, please link to the IC thread or post where they died. We will no longer mark an Inactive character Deceased without cause or reason. The Gembound must have died in-character to match the setting and lore of Origin Cave; on this note, it is perfectly acceptable for characters to remain perpetually Inactive and to be assumed living in the Cave somewhere or hibernating.

Once your character has reached their max path level as Transcendent (by completing the roll requirements), they can claim a Specialization. These are listed in the Guidebook at the bottom of the Magic page under a toggle menu. Your character can choose any Specialization within their path (magic, physical, or other); Battlemage and Craftsman may be claimed by any path. Chaos Beast is only claimable by Corrupted characters.

[Origin Cave]

Updated!

Donating for an RCS, which technically belongs in Magicka Market but I'm immediately redeeming it:

OOC Name: Dark
Slot Type: RCS
Character Name: Undertow (probably)
Which Character Donated Magicka? Giggle
Description: A sea serpent-type creature twenty feet from nose to hip. It has flowing fins held by rigid but flexible spines, and its dark scales are very iridescent; the fins are likely to get somewhat tattered over time. Bioluminescent lights cascade in rainbow colors down its side in two rows (one vertically oriented, with the one above horizontal and less consistent, looking almost like patchy striping). Four limbs are short and stumpy, but the digits are long, clawed, and heavily webbed, so that while the creature is swimming, the limbs look like graceful fins. Its eyes are pale, glowing fish-like eyes (two per side, with the pair in front smaller than the one behind): these eyes can see very well with even the slightest light source. An ability to weakly sense electric fields allows it basic navigation in total darkness. A forked tongue like a snake's can taste the air, or water. It has a wide-hinged jaw features gripping, long, backward-pointing teeth that grow back if broken. The upper front fangs can inject venom that can cause unconsciousness via a drop in blood pressure, kicking in faster in smaller creatures and lasting several minutes at the most. As an aquatic creature, it is very fast in the water, but does have lungs and can weak snake-wriggle and waddle awkwardly on land. When hunting or fighting, it attacks by first latching on and then winding around its prey or opponent, attempting to constrict or at least protect its own body by squeezing the target. It's carnivorous/piscivorous, eating whatever it can find underwater: usually fish and crustaceans.
