Sadly, converting outsiders into thralls while splicing magic potential into them won't really work for me. If void-wrongthings eat my mind, minions probably get corrupted.

[Taricus]

Fair point, but you're best not barking up this tree

[Shadowclaw777]

If two Archmage decide to reproduce, than which family is the child decided on? Is it going to be alternating?
Also if I'm correct after I'm done getting my base power to 4(+2 from artifact) than I can start researching a spell with power 6?

Permanent Enchantment Theory: Develop a magical theory on how to establish permanent enchantments onto living and inanimate things, whether it is to give sentience to an inanimate object or to give a holy buff to a soldier. Switch from researching this spell to learning a already known spell

Spoiler: Hatio's Legacy (click to show/hide)

Year 1-6: Practice Magic by doing Civil Work as using myself and conjured earth elemental as laborers
Year 7: Spend 6 EXP points to get 4 base magic. Start Conjure Earth Elemental Lessons
Year 8: Continue Conjure Earth Elemental Lessons, Learn the Spirit Wall from Antonius Lucio
Year 9: Began researching Permanent Enchantment Theory, (its not a one year thing I'm going to spend two of future years studying this), Produce an offspring from a non-magical NPC. Finish up my Spirit Wall education.

My life is dangerous, and I'm going to get started on that dynasty immediately. Anyone want to swap kids around each year? I'll take the first year, since my magic would be less useful for this first challenge anyway.

Roboson: If you're willing to give Laser Beam away, I'd like to learn it so I can do something useful during the first challenge.

I can do this child sharing thing, if you spend one of your free turns creating a kid than sure.

Edited: Year 7-8 anyone can get Earth Elemental lessons from me

[Taricus]

I think the power level is only needed for casting, not researching.

[Dustan Hache]

attempt to form a theory of magical efficiency to make our casting quicker and less taxing on us for three years, then build a fort around the site of the seal/rift so that it can be guarded against inside and outside assault for the rest

Edit: Teach the other archmages who want to learn the barrier spell for three years, after trying to form my theory.

[S34N1C]

House Lucio humbly requests that House Tridian share their knowledge of Conjure Barrier. Archmage Antonius believes it would be a natural pair to his Spirit Wall.

[Roboson]

Archage Lumier spends the next few years doing things in the following order:
1) Work to help build a great house for the arch mages around the riff mostly using my laser to cut large stone blocks and timbers.
2-3 Research how to make a shield of solid light
4-9) Dungeon crawl and fight in any wars that are going on at the tim

why not just learn my spell? I am willing to teach it to you, I just need some time to do so.

[Roboson]

I'd be fine with that. How about in the third year?

[Dustan Hache]

I intend to spend three years forming a theory of efficiency. I'd be happy to teach on the fourth through the sixth.

[Roboson]

That would be fine with me.

May I join in on those lessons? It might be useful beyond the rift.

Year 1: New spell, Proto-Projection(1) - A training spell for astral projection, usable for prototyping spells castable while projecting. Long casting time, and the user's soul remains partially latched to their body.
Years 2,3: Practice Void Scrying through the seal for xp. I need a high familiarity with the rift and what lies beyond, so I can detect if something is lying in wait. If I suspect something is, stop for the day and practice Proto-Projection instead - I'm hopefully safe, but I don't want to act as a lure or train anything to deal with my scrying.
Buy power level 2
Years 4, 5: Learn Count Tridian's shield spell
Years 6: Practice Void Scrying through the seal for xp. If I suspect something is lying beyond, stop for the day and practice Proto-Projection or Conjure Barrier instead.
Year 7,8,9: New spell, Void Knife(3) - A melee-ranged offensive spell, designed primarily for use while astral projecting, as the most basic self-defense option against rift-dewllers. It will hopefully also work against spirits in the normal world, and be castable normally.

So, it takes half a year to teach each other one of our basic spells, right? If that's the case, I might spend half a year learning Conjure Barrier and the other learning Summon Earth Elemental. Would that be acceptable to you guys, Dustan and Shadowclaw?

it takes a year and half to learn our current spells, their all power 3, which divided by 2 means it's 1.5 years. I'll spend two of my years instead of starting researching my new spell for anyone wanting to learn my spell. I'm doing the first 6 years to beef up my character to the most effective magic skill.

Edited: Also to anyone not producing heirs, their is no drawback except for the decade you got to spend babysitting them. Producing a heir is a free action, so to everyone I would suggest reproducing on year 9. Let me guess their going to be a dedicated wizard to babysitting...

[S34N1C]

Damn, I thought they were all power level one. Alright, that changes some things. Would you be opposed to spending years 6-9 exchanging spells? I feel like our spells could work very well together.
