For those that have played the Cive Caster path of the Prologue Chapter then you might already know a little bit behind what Cive is.
Cive is what puts the Science Fiction into the game as it's the force that makes "magic" in the game.
But here I'm going to go into detail about Cive and what its limitations are.
In Iniquitous light is seen as the visual representation of the fourth dimension since light travels through both space and time. Cive is the energy that light pulls from the fourth dimension. With the use of Channeling Crystals, which are specially created to match the frequency light so that a wielder can harness Cive and use it to manipulate light's ability to travel through space-time.
With this the caster can bring anything from the past to the present, this also includes things like lighting, fire, water, or even objects or small monsters.
Channeling Crystals have a limit as to how much they can manipulate. Depending on the magnitude of what is being pulled through space-time through light can cause a heavy strain on the Channeling Crystal, and should the strain be to much then the Crystal will rupture which causes a quick and sudden spike in the crystals mass to the point that it collapses in on itself and creates a miniature black hole, of which the closest thing gets sucked into it and killed, the closest thing being the wielder of the Channeling Crystal. Immediately afterwards the mini-blackhole dissipates, all of which happens in about a second so the caster has no time to react.
CP in Iniquitous is, in a sense, the casters ability to maintain and control the Channeling Crystals input and output of Cive. Once you run out of CP it stops you from casting for the party members safety. ^.^
Another question about Cive you might have is: "If you can bring things from the past to the present, can you bring things from the future?"
You would be correct though it is extremely complicated, and only one person in the entire Iniquitous world knows how to do it. One of the reasons it's so complicated is because you know what you are bringing from the past since you know it existed, but when you pull from the future you don't know if it actually exists in that time. Plus due to reversing time for that object you want to bring back would cause a huge strain, and probably rupture a normal Channeling Crystal.
I've put a lot of thought into the whole Cive science, but I'm sure there are a few things that I'm leaving out. So feel free to question, and leave some comments on how this idea could be better improved. After all, multiple heads are better then a single one. ^.^
awesome ideas and your really putting mechanics into it as well if the future bit could happen it would seem to follow like in the olden grrek days to find a mystic or priestess to glimpse the future which would be a risk to take on for the power hungry but since youve already got a channeler for the past why not have a mystic/ sorceress priestess for the future stuff. or have someone channel themselves into the future. make a pocket or wormhole if you will into the future to preform some recon mission garbed in things that exist in their present time but also linking them to the past as well when they're in the future as having strong charged stones to further cement them in both plains of existence so they know when to return signaling when their power is about to run out lest they be trapped in the future forever or not depending on if you make a temporary portal or a permanent warded one. just a few thought if it helps im really into this sci fi medieval or futuristic stuff hope it helps. hope it makes sense to you it kinda seemed jumble and i jumped around abit sorry if that confuses you
ReplyDeletepower of energy the soul pure light energy chi ki ka whichever you call the essence of the beginning of all life the most pure light. or as the tibetan monks call im not sure what but they use their minds the third eye in the avatar the kid mind walked astral projection that what it is projecting yourself to the future while doing it in a protected way. with the gems and or with aid of a priestess/sorceress.
ReplyDeleteWell, in this we are using a Sci-Fi approach with no hard magic involved, but you have given me a few small ideas for what some experiments that can be done with Cive in the game.
