Arcana of Magic
« on: July 20, 2015, 12:25:33 am »

The world was nearly destroyed by an event known as the Mana Cascade, due to the continual and widespread use of high class magic over the course of centuries of war the Mana Cascade was the world's balancing mechanism. Such extensive, and intensive use of magic caused some areas to become completely devoid of magical energy and others to be so suffused with it that it actually twisted the world itself. In retaliation the World, the Gods, or whatever you want to called it caused all magical energy world to explode outward dispersing it everywhere, but at the same time wreaking untold destruction.

What was left behind was a countless ruins with only a few handful of lucky souls left alive in their midst. Since then hundreds of years have passed, and from the ashes has emerged the vast Balaman Empire which holds the position of the lone nation on the continent. A place of order, and stability fueled by a technological revolution born from the hatred of magic and all of its users. Since the Mana Cascade, and the Empire was first born magic has begun to disappear from the world as the Empire and its magic hunters scour the world for every magical item, and user they can find to dispose of. However not all hope is lost for in the flourishing metropolis of Skysteel city six fledgling magical users have inherited their master's lab with his untimely death. Whether they can return magic to this world, or instead be hunted down has yet to be seen ....

Down at the bottom of the ocean. Beneath tons of brine which would crush you down. Not into broken and splintered flesh, but into thin soup. Into just more of the sea water. Where things live that aren't so different from you, but you will never live to touch them and they will never live to touch you.

Well, it only hates Linux for now. If we could condition it to hate computer viruses, than hooray! Free, brutal virus protection! Unless you have Linux!

Runic magic, if the infusions are permanent (can they stack?)
Runic Magic is permanent, but you'll have to learn to apply more than one word to an item.

Dying of laughter?
Dying of pure unbridled hatred, actually.

How far down the research tree is it? Can I disenchant my enchanted stuff at any time?

1) That I won't reveal due to the fact that a lot of this game will deal with you guys trying to learn, or rediscover magic while dealing with the dangers that presents.
2) You can, but how successful/whether it damages the item or being is up to a roll.
