Each time a weapon hits the cloak, it takes the damage off the Wounds total of the robe. When the robe's damage amount is gone, the wizard will begin taking damage as normal, even if this means they share the damage from a single blow between robe and wizard. If the cloak provides protection from any magical attack, it will vanish the moment that the damage has been absorbed.
- Type: Protection

- Mana Cost: 5

The Dwellers Below - Gnarled creatures emerge from the ground, their steely strong fingers tearing at the foes' flesh, clutching their limbs and dragging them down to who knows what fate.

- Mana Cost: 15

Earth Blood - The druid absorbs energy from the earth beneath their feet to heal themselves. They must stand on natural earth. The longer it's channeled, the more injuries are healed. They cannot cast this spell on others. This is also the name of a charm of rebirth that a Jade Wizard can create by tapping into the Winds of Magic, bestowing great resilience upon himself and his companions.
- Type: Hex
- Range: Inter-Planetary
- Mana Cost: 15

Earth Gate or Earthpool - The caster disappears into the earth and reappears anywhere within a wide area. Both their departure and arrival points must be areas of natural earth, meaning the druid can't cast this spell while inside a building or on a cobblestone street, for example.
- Type: Transportation
- Range: Inter-Planetary
- Mana Cost: 25

The Emerald Pool - The caster melts into a pool of water which is absorbed into the ground. The wizard may immediately reappear anywhere within any river, pool, or other natural water source.

- Type: Summoning
- Range: Inter-Planetary
- Mana Cost: 10

Fat of the Land - Just as animals fatten themselves up before winter, the druid causes the character they touch to feed on and store the energy of Ghyran. The subject of the spell does not need to eat for one week, though drinking water is still required. In addition, they excrete a normal amount, though their feces are a verdant green. The wizard can cast this spell on themselves.
- Type: Augment
- Range: Inter-Planetary
- Mana Cost: 10

Spoiler: Lore of Death

Acceptance of Fate - Causes allies to temporally put aside their fear of death, making them immune to mundane and supernatural forms of terror.
- Type: Augment
- Range: Inter-Planetary
- Mana Cost: 15

The Animus Imprisoned - The spiriter imprisons the soul of their victim, sealing it in a durable vessel of their choosing, such as a bottle, vial, or pouch. While the soul is so imprisoned, the victim's body lives as a mental vegetable, carrying on the barest functions of life — breathing, swallowing, excreting — without initiative or awareness. Though technically living, this husk cannot shuffle around or even sit up on its own and must be fed by others or die of thirst or starvation. Damage, diseases, poisons, and other sources of harm affect it normally. It similarly heals over time and can be healed as usual by magic or normal medical practice. The caster can restore the imprisoned soul to its body by opening the sealed vessel in the presence of its body. In either case, the restored individual likely goes insane from the experience. If the bottle is opened away from its body or is opened by one who does not know the proper rituals, the soul becomes lost in the world, wandering and damned to become a ghost. If the soul is lost, they can maintain the body in its state, but there is little point. This is a touch spell. Because of the disruption caused in the fabric of life and death by this conjuration, all wizards in a five-mile radius are aware of the disturbance in the Aethyr that this spell causes.
- Type: Hex
- Range: Touch
- Mana Cost: 45

Ashes and Dust - A choking dust cloud erupts from the wizard's fingertips, suffocating all in its path.
- Type: Hex
- Range: Inter-Planetary
- Mana Cost: 15

Spoiler: Lore of Metal

Armour of Lead - Causes the armor of a group of enemies to have the weight of lead, encumbering them severely.
- Type: Hex
- Range: Inter-Planetary
- Mana Cost: 10

Breach the Unknown - Allows the alchemist to unlock all secrets of the object, learning the material composition and any mundane special properties it might contain. For instance, a Gold Wizard using Breach the Unknown could learn the medicinal character of the toadstone. Besides the normal effects of this spell, the caster may attempt channeling to discern a magical item's special properties. With cursed, tainted, or otherwise spoiled items, the wizard uncovers these dangerous properties at last.
- Type: Detect/Identify
- Range: Touch
- Mana Cost: 15

Burnished Gauntlet - A burnished gold gauntlet materializes out of thin air and flies off to strike an enemy. It vanishes after making its attack.
- Type: Construct
- Range: Inter-Planetary
- Mana Cost: 5

The Crucible - The caster takes on a golden glow that gets fiercer and fiercer until he is impossible to look upon, at which point he seems to melt away to nothing. The caster can then reappear instantaneously somewhere else, appearing first as a glow of molten gold that then solidifies and cools a multiple of 100 yards — or more — away from the casting point. The spell cannot be cast on anyone but the caster.
- Type: Teleportation
- Range: Inter-Planetary
- Mana Cost: 20

Spoiler: Lore of The Heavens

Azure Blades - Thin, razor-like shards fill the air around the wizard, whirling in orbit around them like miniature stars, and dealing damage to any who come close for a hand-to-hand combat attack.
- Type: Construct
- Range: Inter-Planetary
- Mana Cost: 5

Birdspeak - The astromancer can speak and understand the language of birds. However, this does not force birds to talk to said-caster or answer their questions. Cunning birds may even lie or demand favors in return for their knowledge. A bird's opinion of the wizard will be based on the way they appear and act. The wizard does, however, because of this spell, gain insight into the customs and behavior of birds, understanding, for example, why a flock of birds is behaving in some particular way, or why a nest might have been abandoned.
- Type: Voice
- Range: Self
- Mana Cost: 5

The Cerulean Shield - A crackling shield of magical energy forms upon the wizard's left arm. The shield automatically negates any damage from normal weapons, and with additional defense, but not complete negation, when hit by magical weapons. In addition, anyone who strikes the Cerulean Shield with a metal weapon will suffer electrocution. If any blow (physical or magical) causes actual damage to the wizard, the Cerulean Shield is instantly dispelled.
- Type: Construct
- Range: Self
- Mana Cost: 8

Chain Lightning - Lightning bursts from the wizard's hands and arcs across the battlefield, leaping from foe to foe with crackling fury.
- Type: Elemental
- Range: Inter-Planetary
- Mana Cost: 12

Clear Sky - Clears a single cloud from the sky, or, in the event of a completely overcast sky, clears all areas present in the casters line of sight. Clouds continue to blow and form naturally in the aftermath of this spell, so the time the caster has an uninterrupted view of the sky above depends on the weather. When cast in the rain, this spell also stops precipitation, though it is hard to stop precipitation over a point on the ground, as the winds drive falling rain in ways that are difficult to perceive and predict.
- Type: Area Alteration
- Range: Inter-Planetary
- Mana Cost: 21

Crystal Charioteer - A gigantic crystal ball envelops and imprisons a single individual within at least 24 yards. The ball immediately carries the victim between two and twelve yards (or more) in a direction nominated by the caster and continuously carries them in that direction until the spell can be broken. If the victim can break free of the ball, it shatters with a ringing sound, breaking into millions of tiny fragments that melt away into nothing in a few seconds.
- Type: Construct
- Range: Inter-Planetary
- Mana Cost: 20

Curse - Curses one opponent within the immediate area. For the next twenty-four hours, the target suffers a greater chance at failure in all endeavors, and is more susceptible to harm. A target person can only be the subject of one curse at a time.
- Type: Hex
- Range: Inter-Planetary
- Mana Cost: 15

Okay so l did a new goggle docs (this is really useful) where l will put any type of ideas suggested by you guys. Link To The List.

If anyone is wondering how the ranks of power amongst the gods work it is essentially like this:

Fledgling -》Minor -》Intermediate -》Greater -》Overgod -》Almighty

DETAILS

• Fledgling: Newborn god entities they are at the bottom of hierarchy of power amongst divine entities, but they are still powerful if a mortal attempts to confront one without a divine weapon they are a good as dead. The souls of their believers reside in a pocket space inside their god souls.
- Power Level: Larger City to Continental
- Capabilities: Complete invulnerability to all mortal weapons, can solo entire armies of various tech levels, can survive in extreme temperatures (can survive on the vaccum of space, the heart of a volcano, etc)

• Minor: Minor divinities are those who are already entrenched in a society (and in most cases) a pantheon, pantheons compromised entirely of minor gods are not uncommon. They possess a base of operations inside the warp, thought it is small by the stands of gods and they do not possess immaterial servants. The afterlife of many faiths usually resides within this domain.
- Power Level: (At full power) solar system; (when not at full power) planetary
- Capabilities: Can warp reality of a planet or system to their wims when fully manifested and powered in a material avatar, can destroy whole stars and planets when fully manifested and powered on the material realm.

• Intermediate: Intermediate divinities can already warp the reality of whole galaxies to even their respective universes, if a mortal wants to fight against one they are just begging to be killed. At this stage they are already possess legion of servants both from the material and immaterial realms.
- Power Level: (At full power) Universal; (when not at full power) Galactical
- Capabilities: at full power in the material realm can affect the universe they reside in, can potentially destroy a universe when in full power in the material realm, can destroy whole galaxies at once even in a weakened state. Legions of immaterial servants

• Greater Gods: Greater gods are the third most powerful beings in the whole omniverse being multiversal beings capable affecting multiple universe at once, they also very hard to kill as they reside in multiple realities at once and have the power to destroy multiple realities as well.
- Power Level: Multiversal
- Capabilities: Exist at multiple point of times in different realities at once, can affect multiverses and travel 'the void' between them, have the power to destroy multiple realities at once if fully manifested and powered on the material realm. [OOC: Chaos gods are on this level]

• Overgod: Overgods are the second most powerful entities in the ommniverse, they have the power to create multiverses and are Nigh omnipotent.
- Power Level: ERROR
- Capabilities: Nigh Omnipotence, Nigh Omniscience, Nigh Omnipresence, can create multiverses.

• Almighty: ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR
- Power Level: Unknown
- Capabilities: Unknown likely to have full Omnipotence, Omnipresence and Omniscience

Right now in the planet you are in have several minor gods running around with practically not many intermidiate gods yet, the four chaos gods are the only greater gods in the planet which are worshipped a fact that they abuse very often.

Okay, so gonna give you guys two forms of how to deal with gods you want to be gone, okay so the first method has three methods by eliminating all the anchors of the god in question:

1) Kill or convert the gods worshippers en mass.

2) Destroy all relics and anything holy to the god, this will definitely grab its attention and weaker it further.

3) Confront the god after 1 and 2 are done, with god weakned it will be more easy to you, depending on the god level of power of course.

Of course this may not always work, so thats why there is a second tactic and the one most used amongst the gods (well the powerful ones at least): Confront the god spiritually ie fight it in the warp and devour/destroy it.

 

[Alucard Vampiry]

So l camed to a decision, if the quest completes the final objective that is to conquer the world by any means that you guys want, i will (probably) do a sequel incorporating the stellaris type of system.

It will be becasily you attempt to create a space empire in the warhammer fantasy galaxy, which it will have similarities with warhammer 40k one but it will have differences in it, but l am not gonna reveal all of the mysteries it will hold.

DETAILS

So i decided to reveal some things but not all about (probable) sequel to this quest which will be set on a galactical scale:

Tech tree:
- Space: A mix of stellaris and master of orion tech tree.
- Ground: A mix of stellaris, master of orion, commander and conquer (both the red alert series and the tiberium wars series), and starcraft.

Xeno Space Civilizations: A mix of random generated empires with a few ones from sci fi games such as endless space.

Law Gods on the other hand are directly opposite of Chaos Gods and indeed came into existence at the same time. They are essentially the other side of the coin. Where Chaos is well.. chaos and anarchy, Law is rigid order and stability. They are considered "better" then Chaos only because of how ascendant Chaos is compared to Law and thus Law is useful(the more ascendant Law become, the smaller the Chaos Wastes get, which the mortal races understandably view as a good thing), but if their positions were reversed then Law would be every bit the threat that Chaos is because Law would cause all change and development to cease, and nothing would ever change.

Click to shrink...

Chaos gods of law and order are not aligned with common seen chaos (aka destruction) they aligned with another form of chaos.

"Chaos" can be considered with various things, the normally seen chaos gods are those gods who are obviously evil, because of you know. Khorne, Slaanesh, Tzeentch and Nurgle all represent a form of destruction or anarchy:

Spoiler: Normal Chaos Gods

Khorne: The anarchy and destruction that war and conflict brings.

Tzeentch: The anarchy and destruction that devious plots bring.

Slaanesh: The anarchy and (self) destruction that indulging in "pleasure" can bring to a person along with several others.

Nurgle: The anarchy and destruction commonly seen when a devasting plague happens, along with the despair seen in them.

Like you said If the chaos gods of order win everything becomes stagnant, and i think that solkan explains how that would go, all living things would be enslaved to the chaos gods of order, this would technically defeat chaos corrupting the mortal races (well until a daemon army comes knocking), their influence would cause no changes. So in this line thinking they represent a twisted form of "order" and "stability":

Spoiler: Chaos Gods of Order

Solkan: Likely represents an aspect of tyranny, in this case domination, solkan would slave all mortals so that they would only worship him or his wife, or the rest of his pantheon.

Arianka: Likely represents a form of military stagnation, the battlefield of war is said to be constantly changing, but with Arianka armies and their tactics would never change. This is why she holds the aspects of tactics and the rest of the military.

Alluminas: Likely represents creativity, the "light of creativity" and all that shit, with him in power there would be no more inventions of any type.

????: The final chaos god of order, is not born yet. But l have answers about him, he would represent a form of control through emotions, in this case there would be either no emotions, rendering the mortals as little more sacks of meat with nothing that makes them "them", or their emotions would be so dampened that they would care for nothing anymore but the pantheon of order.

There you have my point of view in this matter.

The Elven Pantheon:
- Divine Strength Level: Minor
- Influence Level: Very High (High Elves), Medium (Dark Elves), Non-Existent (Wallachia), Very High (Wood Elves)

The Pantheon of Chaos:
- Divine Strength Level: Greater or Minor (Depending on the god)
- Influence Level: Very High (Norsca), Medium (Empire of Men), Very Minor (Wallachia), Very High (Chaos Dwarves), Medium (Dark Elves), Very High (Skaven)

The Dwarf Pantheon:
- Divine Strength Level: Minor
- Influence Level: Very High (Dwarves)

The Ork Gods:
- Divine Strength Level: Intermidiate
- Influence Level: Very High (Feral Orcs of Malleus)

The Human Pantheon:
- Divine Strength Level: Minor
- Influence Level: Very High (Empire of Men)

OOC: So there you have it the gods current power levels, this will be changed as time goes on as I am pretty sure some pantheons are going to disappear. Also these are only the major pantheons there other minor pantheons out there such as the tilean pantheon. Will add more pantheons and individual gods as time goes on.

Runes are divided into five different categories: weapon runes, armor runes, banner runes, engineering runes, and talismanic runes. Before I explain what each category of rune can do, first, there are the rules of the runic system and rune carving in general:

1. Rule of Three - No single item can have over three runes. It is virtually impossible to forge items able to bear the strain of carrying so much power. At least without severe research on the subject, and even it will take time and effort.
2. Rule of Form - Weapon runes can only be inscribed on weapons, armor runes can only be inscribed on armor, banner runes can only be inscribed on standards, engineering runes can only be inscribed on war machines or buildings, and talismanic runes can only be inscribed on talismans. Note that some runes can be inscribed on other category cases in point to the rune of piercing.
3. No master rune may be used, can be completely. Master runes are so powerful that they cannot be combined together on the same item or suffer a violent reaction. For this reason, Runesmiths describe these runes as Jealous Runes.

So that out of the way it is time to explain what each category of runes can do.

Weapon Runes

Weapon runes are pretty self-explanatory, but it boils down to runes that make anything considered a weapon is stronger (swords, pikes, daggers, bows, etc), these runes are the runes of piercing, sharpness, precision, and many others. Do note that is anything that is considered a weapon, be they ranged or physical. Runic Set Example: Striking, Precision, Piercing.

Armor Runes

Armor runes are the runes carved in anything that is considered armor, these runes make so that the armor becomes tougher and some cases more light if the proper set of runes is used, these are the runes of fortitude, preservation, resistance, and many others. Runic Set Example: Stone, Iron, Steel.

Banner Runes

Banner runes are those found in stands. They can inspire bravery in your own troops and allies, and dread in your enemies. These are the runes of terror, fear, courage, determination, and many others. Runic Set Example: Fear, Terror, and Despair.

Engineering Runes

Engineering runes are those used in war machines or buildings, they can be used for you to keep your secrets to yourself or improve your industry. These are the runes of defense, disguise, reloading, and many others. Runic Set Example: Accuracy, Precision, Seeking (for war machines)

Talisman Runes

Talisman runes are the runes inscribed in talismans. They can range from wards against spiritual influence to runes to increase their own luck. These are the runes of luck, warding, dismay, and many others. Runic Set Example: Disperse, Spellbreaking, Spelleater

There are also master runes, which are runes that carry great power in them, runic items that have master runes in them are very few the runeblades of the empire of man being amongst their number, you can literally count their entire number with just your fingers.
