>No penetration
Whoa, seriously? Uh, okay.

>>26758986

You suppose you're officially dating now. The two of you didn't really discuss it - once the potion wore off, it was one part awkward, one part unsure, and one part confused but not upset.

In any case, you returned to your dorm for the day - Oblitus was still there. Come to think of it, you don't think there's an actual limit on the spell... the Librarian, who is also apparently an Entropic Entity, seems to be on a permanent holiday here in the Material Plane. Guess Obby's got the same package. He's just kind of standing in the corner of your dorm when you get back.

After a goodnight's rest, it's Monday, and you have a Lecture today! You have three hours to prepare. Oblitus has been watching you sleep, needing no sleep of his own. Jaqul is missing from his bed - he's left a note.

>Breakfast?
>Shower?
>Read the note?
>Other?

Fuck yeah, been browsing /tg/ bored out of my mind for 2 hours waiting for this.
Already finished my popcorn.

Read the note.

>>26759052
>>Breakfast?
>>Shower?
>>Read the note?
Just do all three

>>26759022
Guess it was just handjobs then

>>26759073
It's my birthday today and I'm balancing this and my family before dinner. Totally worth it though.

>>26759073
>>26759102

You decide to read the note first. 'Gone out.' Is all it says. Gee, thanks Jaqul. Very informative. At least Magister Vann isn't sleeping in his bed this time to give you the old-fashioned brotherly warning.

You head down to take a shower. Lutharius is already there, scrubbing some strange black gunk off his hands. "Don't ask." He mutters, scrubbing at it a little more fiercely. Huh. You wonder what he got up to? You're a little disturbed to find Oblitus watching you curiously as you clean yourself, but you guess you'd be curious too if you had no need to do any of these little morning rituals.

"... Is that some sort of Summon?" Lutharius says, a little wary. You nod at him - you can tell him the full details later if you choose. "His name is Oblitus, he's my friend. Er, ignore him."

Feeling fresh as a daisy, you come out to the Kitchens. Nobody's made any breakfast yet - at least, if they did, they didn't make any for anyone else. You start your morning tradition of the communal breakfast; just some eggs, sausage and bacon.

Despite coming in after him, Lutharius emerges ten minutes after you, hands now free of the black goo... whatever it was.

Drazeen comes down for breakfast shortly after, and you introduce him to Oblitus as well. Oblitus has taken to hiding behind you, almost like a shy child. The three of you discuss nothing in particular over breakfast, as Oblitus kind of hovers over your shoulder, watching you eat. You offer him some of the food, but he declines.

You have about an hour and a half left on the clock before you have to go to the Summoning Chambers.

Are you going to do another time skip to next week, Archmagister? Because I'd like to get through reading all the books we've borrowed lately and read them thoroughly instead of skimming, especially if we have the free time and no PLOT to deal with.

>>26759312

Hey Magister.

>>26759506

You decide to explore the grounds. You aren't sure where you're heading, only where your feet decide to take you. You know the other Schools of Magic have a separate section each - maybe you could visit one of them?

You don't think Divination would be that interesting. Force classes are usually held in the Courtyard, and the Alchemical Labs smell like all hell.

Your feet however, take you to the Hall of Illusions. Jaqul studies Illusions, and is apparently pretty good at it but you realise you don't actually know much about it. You barely even know the Magister's name.

You push on the large wooden doors, and you are immediately assaulted with the smell of a herbal smoke. It tingles your nose, as you wave it's hazy cloud away. The Hall is full of cushions and couches, and various students are all lying around. Are those... are those pipes?

"Oh... Hello..." A faint voice says. "Welcome to the Hall of Illusions. Have you come to broaden your horizons?" The Magister of Illusions, clad in wafty purple robes seems to glide across the ground towards you, smiling serenely but vacantly. She holds out a pale hand for you to take.

You aren't sure what you just walked into. Is this what Jaqul gets up to all the time...?

>Ask her about Illusions
>Ask her to help you broaden your Horizons
>Ask her what the hell they're doing
>Other?

>>26759660
Help us broaden our horizons

>>26759660

Then we can be all "Yes. I think my horizons do need some broadening."

>>26759660
Broaden horizons.

>>26759647
I think you're overworried and being prudish, but Archmagister-kun handled it really well in my opinion and I'm okay with how things turned out in the end.

>>26759660
>Ask her to help you broaden your Horizons

>>26759819
O shit, this. Can't miss demon summoning lectures.

>>26759819
We can keep track of time man, it's probably just hash they're smoking, not weed or meth or anything.

Or the smoke might even be just an illusion whooooh spooky.

>>26759804
Well honestly, I just don't want us to make a mistake that we will regret this place seems very social, if we fuck a girl and dump her, I doubt we'd survive socially, meaning all we could do is study with books and do stuff with Summons.

>>26759855

If I had places to be I'd rather smoke weed than hash.

>>26759819

You give her a big, goofy smile. "Whaaaaaaaaaat?" She just smiles back, serene and vacant.

You're pretty tempted to take her up on the offer... but you have summoning in a little over an hour. "Sorry, can I take a raincheck on that?"

She nods serenely. "Illumination waits for all those who wish to take it, be it now, tomorrow, or lifetimes away." You pretend to understand that.

"What are Illusions like?" Always eager to learn things that could make you more powerful, aren't you?

She turns with a slow flourish. "Illusions are Imagination unbound, transcended and communicated. There are those who use the Art to hide, others to lie, but it is an Art first and foremast. The Greatest Masters of the Phantasmic Arts were not Deceivers or Skulkers in the night - no, they were Performers." She wafts into the middle of the room, and waves her hands. Trails of bright, multicoloured lights follow her movements, creating a halo of neon colours. "I seek to impart not only the knowledge of the Art but it's spirit. The School of Illusions is one that can be used to bring Imagination to Life. Through the Art, it is possible to tell the greatest stories and the saddest tales, limited only by Imagination and Skill."

You watch her make Phantasms and Illusions. She shows you a mock battle between Elemental Mages. Earth shields rise up to be blasted be gouts of flame, lightning called down from the skies diverted by a dome of water. It's very impressive. At some point the phantasms change and morph, becoming a Knight charging a Dragon. As the lance strikes, it changes again, until a beautiful couple waltz through the air.

You watch them for half an hour, before you bid her goodbye. You don't feel like you've learned anything concrete about illusions, except that you can really put on a nice show if you know what you're doing.

You head over to the Summoning Chambers with your leftover time.

You make it to the Main Chamber ten minutes early, the other students already milling about.

>>26760318

You decide to sit by the girl who doesn't seem to like you very much. "Hi, I'm Hairy McTerrorcastle." Your introduction is promptly ignored. She doesn't even glance at Oblitus - he's been getting a few stares from the other students, and the fact he tries to hide behind you doesn't help matters that much.

He shrinks in on himself as Magister Pythianne sweeps into the room, looking upbeat and cheerful. "Hello everyone! It's so good to see so many of you still here!"

You aren't sure what she's talking about - a little over half have left the class you think.

"Today's class will not be dealing with the denizens of the Infernal Plane. The Archmagister has insisted that I at least show you the Elemental Plane's denizens!" She beams up at all of you as she moves over to the center. There is no Magic Circle this time. She likely feels she does not need one.

"Firstly, the one thing you need to know about Summoning Elementals is that it's easier when there's more of the Element in question - summoning an Earth Elemental in the air is a lot more difficult then summoning one in a cave. The good news is though, they're very easy to bind! Even novice summoners can do it. The actual difficulty is Summoning them, unlike Infernal Denizens." She paces around the center, looking at each of you in turn.

"This is mostly because Infernal Denizens WANT to be Summoned, but have motives of their own. Elemental Denizens, whilst sentient, are closer to animals then a human."

She begins casting a small spell, and the ground rumbles slightly, as a small, human-sized figure made of stone and earth rises up. It's lumbering form is thick and bulky, but it has a pair of gemstone eyes.

It makes a rumbling noise. "See? Very simple! Now, some of you might find you are attuned to a specific element. That's perfectly natural! Everyone's magic is different and attuned to different things. You may find summoning some Elementals easier then others though."

>cont.

>>26760322

Coincidentally I'd like to place a 100 experience point bet that the mystery magic Hairy is skilled is charm.

>>26760530
>See? Very simple! Now, some of you might find you are attuned to a specific element. That's perfectly natural!
Is swagger an element?

More seriously, I actually think it might be fire, since we're good at infernals apparently.

>>26760530
>I'm attuned to Fire!
>I'm attuned to Water!
>I'm attuned to Air!
>I"m attuned to Demons!

>Goddamnit Castle.

"Now, if you don't know your attunement, that's fine! You can usually find Channeling Stones in the Enchantment Tower, or Divination Chambers. This spell here though, is a very simple Summon Elemental I - I'll show you the main five."

She teaches the class the basics of the Spell, and it's minor variations required to summon different elements.

Was it even a choice? The answer is no. It was never a choice. Nothing says Hairy McTerrorcastle like LIGHTNING AND THUNDER!

You head down to the center with the other girl, and both of you begin casting the spell. As you continue the incantations, you realise you are both casting the exact same variation - you are both summoning a Lightning Elemental.

It might not be the best choice - there is in fact, no preexisting source of Lightning or Electricity in general to use to bolster your Summoning ability.

Nonetheless, you are Hairy motherfucking McTerrorcastle, and you will summon a motherfucking Lightning Elemental.

Electricity crackles through the air as both of you complete your spells in tandem. With a crack of thunder, each of you stands before a tall, lithe figure, seemingly made of sparking lightning. It arcs from their skin on occasion, reaching out to the ground and potentially anything metal. You probably don't want to shake it's hand. Oblitus cowers behind you, as usual.

"Very impressive! Do we have any more volunteers?" Pythianne says, clapping her hands. The other girl gives you a cold stare. You think she sees you as a rival.

The Lightning Elemental looks at you. It crackles. You think that's the equivalent of a dog barking or something. You can see... eyes? Little voids of space the Lightning never fills.

"Now, I must tell you that for the sake of safety regulations, Elementals are not allowed on School Grounds unless permission has been given. Especially Fire Elementals. This is of course, with the exception of the Summoning Chambers."

"Hey, Obby, what do you think of it?" He cowers behind you a little more. "I... I don't like it..." He mumbles, burying his face in the back of your robes. "Come on, it's not going to hurt you. Say hi!" He peeks out a little, warily.
"... Hi..." The Elemental just crackles. That might have been a response.

"Hmm... can you do any tricks?" It crackles. You... aren't sure what to make of that. "Uh... Do a flip?" It arcs around in a blurring circle of light and energy. It's rather impressive to look at.

You're tempted to summon another one, just to prove your dominance over the other girl. Hmm...

You aren't sure about the difficulties of Summoning more then one entity. Oblitus seems to be a bit of a special case in these cases. You might have to ask Pythianne about it.

And not just concerning multiple elementals. What happens if we do multiple infernals? How about mixing and matching, like having Bowie and an elemental summoned at the same time. This is probably some pretty key information for a Summoner.

>>26761335
This is a very important thing.

Also, mixing and matching elementals. She said that air and earth make things harder. So I bet fire and water make things harder. But what even is lightning?

You leave the Elemental with Oblitus to bond. As best as the primal incarnation of Lightning can bond with the incarnation of... forgotten... something. You aren't sure. But hey, maybe they'll be friends? Or maybe Oblitus will just cower.

"What are the limitations regarding summoning more then one denizen?" Pythianne beams at you - students eager to learn always make her day.

"Well! It gets harder to control them really - it's trivial to control a single Elemental, but when you start getting larger amounts of them, more effort is required, corresponding both to the power and amount. The same goes for Infernals and other entities, but probably more so - whilst Infernals love to be summoned, they do not enjoy the ah, binding as much, you know?"

>The DC to Bind receives a 50% increase for each entity already summoned - Oblitus Luna does not count for this. When summoning multiple elementals, Binding DC begins at half the Summon DC. The Summon DC does not increase.

"Would it be okay for me to Summon another one?" Pythianne blinks, before nodding.

"If you think you're up to it, sure!" The other students are summoning various Elementals of their own. There's at least one of every element present.

>Summon another one? If so, what Element?

I still don't really understand the difference between a bind DC and a summon DC.

Do both use the summoning stat? Are they rolled into one roll? Because I don't think we've been making two.

Seriously, can someone explain this to me?

>The DC to Bind receives a 50% increase for each entity already summoned - Oblitus Luna does not count for this. When summoning multiple elementals, Binding DC begins at half the Summon DC. The Summon DC does not increase.

>>26761638
The two DC's are different, and haven't applied to the same spell so far. Elementals are the first Summoning Spell you've encountered that would require two rolls. I should've asked for 2d100 I realised, but the Binding DC is literally 7 for an extra Elemental, so I'm going to handwave that.

Summoning an Infernal is easy because Infernals WANT to be Summoned - there's no DC to Summon but you still have to bind them because it's still an Infernal.

Elementals don't need to be bound usually because they're the mental equivalent of a dog. They are, however, more difficult to bring into the world as they do not actively enjoy being brought here (unlike Infernals who relish the chance for mischief on the material plane) (especially if there is a lack of their element nearby).

>>26761712
It's +50%, not 50%. 40, times 1.50.

>>26761728
Ha! We showed her!

>>26761742
I know. 40 is base dc. Actual dc is 13 because of our summoning stat being 27.

13 +100% (because 2 already summoned) is 26

>>26761728
>Binding DC is literally 7
So if we get 7 more summoning, we can get that elemental for free, more or less.

Another Lightning Elemental thunders to life next to the other. Their sparks arc towards each other frequently, but otherwise, they don't seem to really acknowledge each other, preferring to stare directly at you.

The other girl attempted to summon an Air elemental. 'Attempted' is the key word - it fizzles into the Atmosphere with a gust of wind. Ha! Take THAT!

She seems pretty disgruntled at being shown up, but you however, are quite pleased to retain your spot as the best in the class. Hell. Yes.

You smile at the other girl genuinely, holding out your hand. "Good effort." She stares at you and huffs. Dismissing her Elemental off handedly, she grabs her bag of books and leaves.

You watch her go, hand still outstretched. "... What'd you think was her problem, Obby?" The clothed man-thing just shrugs lightly. Yeah, he probably wouldn't know.

You sit back down to let the class finish, having your Elementals perform tricks idly, seeing if you can get them to dance. It's not very easy, considering the keep arcing around and they tend to move instantaneously. But it's very pretty to look at!

You finish by having them bow, and dismissing them. They vanish in a flash of light.

Once everyone has dismissed their Summons, Pythianne claps her hands together and positively beams at all of you. "Very well done everyone!" She strides to the center again, looking at all of you.

"I can tell we've got a very good set of students this year! I hope to see all your eager faces again next week! Until then, goodbye!"

This leaves you with the rest of the day.

You follow Pythianne back to her office.

"I just wanted to update you on Oblitus." You wave him over as you say that. He shuffles forward, still mostly behind you. "Apparently he can animate things."

Oblitus nods lightly, still hiding behind you mostly. Pythianne's eyes gleam. "Animate you say? Like, oh, can you describe it? Is it like Enchantment? Can he animate anything?"

You tell her about what happened with the Training Dummies, and how they came to life.

"Hmm... I don't really know too much about the Entropic Plane... Jasper told me a little about it earlier." She frowns at this. "I'm a little peeved he knew so much without saying ANYTHING, but well, that's the Archmagister. Sometimes I think he forgets we're not ALL as powerful and knowledgeable as he is."

She sits down in her chair, clearing her desk a little. "Unfortunately, if you want insight on your cute friend there, you'll probably have to get it from him. I think he's in the Alchemy Labs now - showing his students some formula for something."

Broaden horizons. Sounds kinky.

We should probably put some study into abjuration at some point. At the very least, Magic Circles (an important part of binding it seems) are part of the school.

>>26762414
But it looks like we are just using our summoning stat to bind things.

>>26762433
I think that's because we have a prebuilt circle in the summoning chambers. If we wanted to do it anywhere else we would probably need to construct our own.

You decide to head to the Alchemy Labs. You should be able to find the Archmagister there and hopefully learn from him!

You're about halfway there when you hear a semi-familiar voice call out. "McTerrorcastle. Do you mind if I talk to you for a little bit? I won't take up too much of your time." You turn around.

In his usual, clean white pressed robes, Magister Vann stands before you, an apple in his hand. He takes a bite from it, chewing it with a muffled yawn.

You nod. He IS a Magister. "Good, you didn't really have much of a choice anyway." He takes another bite from his apple. "Walk with me. You're heading to the Alchemy Labs, right?" You nod. He's heading... not in the opposite direction, but kind of perpendicular.

"You know what the problem with Divination is?" He doesn't wait for your answer, whatever it may be.

"Knowing the future is not the same as being able to change it." He holds up his apple now. "Take you for instance. I knew what would happen if you went into the Experiment." He glances at Oblitus at this, who flinches. "I told Jasper to do something, I told Pythianne to do something, I told YOU to do something. And yet here we are." He takes another bite of the apple. You're not sure where he's going with this.

"I'll be honest. I hate you. You're frustrating. You're just like Jasper, you know that?" He glares at you half-heartedly. "The future isn't set in stone, thank the gods. If it was, I wouldn't bother getting up in the morning. People can make choices. The problem with people like you and Jasper, is you always make the strangest choices. All the time! I can tell you, with 100% certainty what Pythianne will eat for breakfast tomorrow, but I can't even guarantee that Jasper is wearing clothes right now."

He sighs. "I don't know what is about you two that makes you so... so WEIRD, but for the love of all everything ever... Please. Please do not make my job harder then it has to be. It's not your fault, but you were targeted by the Empire from day one. So, can I..." He pauses, mumbling to himself, before glancing at the sky. "Hold that thought."

As if on cue, you hear an incredible BOOM from the direction of the Alchemy Labs. "Right. Please don't make a target of yourself?" He gives you a tired look. "Juggling everything is hard enough."

You look towards the Alchemy Lab. It's half demolished.

Oh Heavens above.

>cont.

>>26762791
>It's not your fault, but you were targeted by the Empire from day one
Well shit. So much for staying off the radar

>>26762791
We should ask him for tutoring in Divination, and sweeten the deal by reminding him that it'll let him keep a closer eye on us and maybe get him accustomed to our thought processes, if that helps at all.

If we're a target Divination could be damn useful, too.

>>26762791

It's on fire. You can see a small bubble of Magic, holding a large section of rubble from collapsing onto a group of students - the Archmagister is in the center of it, hands held up.

Vann looks very calm despite all of this, taking another bite of his apple. "You can run over to help if you want, although I don't know what good you'll do. Ranafiel will be over in five... four..." On cue, the orange-robed Magister bursts into the scene, and with frantic but directed gestures, bits of stone and brick are flung off the destroyed Alchemy Labs. "Five minutes until Magister Gareth arrives." Vann takes another bite of his apple, looking completely and utterly calm with what's going on.

You're horrified. How did... what... why...

Oblitus stares with you, although it's hard to say what he's feeling. Vann pats you on the shoulder.

"Nobody died, if you're wondering. Some injuries, maybe a broken bone. Gareth will be by shortly - stick around, watching him work is always a show." He finishes his apple, and throws it behind him, with a stretch.

"... You said the Empire was targeting me since day one. Why?" He pokes your forehead lightly.

"Your attunement." He pulls a flask and takes a swig from it. "I'm attuned to Divination. Jasper isn't really attuned to anything in particular, but he's naturally powerful. Pythianne's attuned to Earth. Ranafiel's attuned to Force. You?" He takes another swig and offers it to you. It smells like alcohol.

"You're attuned to Destruction."

"Want to know why Magister Ahavans isn't allowed to actually perform Alchemy? He's attuned to Destruction as well. Powerfully." He takes another swig again.
