Questionable Questing

But I would love to talk on the discord. Not today since it seems we're both tired, but I've been meaning to get back on it and catch up with everyone.

Awesome. Talk non smut there later this week and good, very good. Everyone getting good money though the cleaning can be annoying. Want to hear me talk of fantasy battle stuff for my thing?

Fantasy battle are the best part of fantasy behind the worldbuilding in my opinion.

Indeed. So shall we speak of Sorcerers, warlocks, witches? Those who travel into the Wyld and learn the lore of gods and spirits and the Powers of the world's dreams. Able to armor themselves in ward although they can't wear them all the time as it makes them call on greater powers to do so.

To change into monstrous dire spirit beast forms but loosing the ability to spell cast when doing so, to conjure great malestorms and battle altering magics, but drawing the Wyld closer if they do so.

What happens if the Wyld gets too close to the material world?

Spirits and beast spirits often one and the same start roaming around and people can be possessed by the Wyld and join the revels. Or a giant super volcano blows up and kills everyone.

Well that just opens the door for a kamikaze attack if the Wyld user gets desperate enough. lol.

Not advised as no one wants the Wyld spreading. They could, but it will fuck over their side as well to let that berserk madness run free. Sorcerers help protect warriors from enemy sorcery obliterating them and manipulate the terrain and reality of the battlefield.

They are not God-Sworn, paladins and rogues and bererkers and other champion warriors invested with magic for physical power and martial might. Sorcerers can be cut down or struck by arrows, this is why they are often guarded.
If they must fight, they will invoke a spirit of the Wyld to possess them and go wild. Druidic monster forms. However, this means they can be slain by blade and spear.

Well if you really wanted a fucked up evil faction, you could have a group of Wyld users who do basically suicide attacks on their enemies by sneaking into their capitals or cities and then going berserk, trying to rack up as high a kill count before they get put down.

But I'm guessing going into this wild form takes away their focus and mental clarity, thus making more complicated spells impossible, which is why Sorcerer's prefer not to use that form even in battle.

Not sustainable. Sorcerers aren't super rare but you don't get big schools. You have master and student relationships or covens of them. One must wander the Wyld and return transformed by it. Made a wielder of Powers. God-Sworn go through rituals to entreat the Wyld to name them champion and they don't need as much long training as a Sorcerer does.

What's the advantages of a God-Sworn versus a Sorcerer? The Sorcerer has more control and is less affected by the Wyld? SInce right now it seems like the Sorcerer's are just an inferior version with less power, since they don't have champions or gods of the Wyld to boost them.

God-Sworn. I have a flaming sword and armor of molten black. I dance steps of ash and cast swirling flames from my feet as I carve with searing axes.

Sorcerer. The ground is now a burning shredding pile of volcanic slag. The sky is raining embers like darting arrows. I summoned a dragon to burn you. I command and the primal forces of the world will answer. If I use a sword, it is a giant spell cast to sunder the earth with lightning and bone crushing wind.
God-Sworn play at anime epics.
Sorcerers play at warring gods.

Fair enough. lol. God-Sworn are very good at one thing. Sorcerer's are good at everything. Limited power in one area, versus raw versatility. Make sense.

And scale. God-Sworn can get impressive but overall a God-Sworn's enchanted blade cannot match the raw power of a witch-king or queen's spellblade casting. God-sworn are warriors of legend. A sorcerer with a sword is using that blade as a symbol of arcane strength just as a staff and the focus is on the massive spell cast.

On the other hand, a God-Sworn is really good at combat.

I sleep, getting tired, but next time will talk more about how God Sworn fight. I want to know how integrated their armour and weapons are with their gods and the Wyld.
