Spread your wings.

We're active on it... Grinding valor for epic cloak quest chain right now (I've got less than 300 to go, wife has like, 1500)...

If you ever need a rogue in your WoW crosses Hiver, IceWing's your guy (lvl 90, master leatherworker... ).... I've even got a spare guild tunic I can lend you or Dawn.... Actually, he does a fair amount of crafting work, has something like 90% of all leather crafting recipes, including all but the 90 raid tier epics... (and even some of those...)
 
I got inspired to come back to WoW thanks to the cinematic for the new Expansion. been grinding for enough Timeless coins for that Serpent mount. I'd be also going for the cloak as well, but Alli sucks balls on my server for PVP and I still need those two battlegrounds completed.
 
Resub? Bleh, implies I had a sub to begin with. As far as I'm concerned, WoW is pure evil to me. Simply because as long as it remains active, the chances of getting Warcraft 4 are reallllllly fucking small.

No clue why, but I felt like sharing for some reason given the question.
 
So, how many of you have resubbed to wow yet? :p
No, but I did reinstall Deus Ex. But to digress to the story...

I really hope Sheila isn't intending on learning Secret Dragon Magic; if anything, she'll be the one giving in any transfer of knowledge of sorcery between the two of them. Though it is possible she might learn on other subjects from him.
 
Just caught back up, hopefully they don't react too bad when they find out you can use magic related to death/necromancy.

So, how many of you have resubbed to wow yet? :p

I played near the beginning, then I just let my subscription run out on its own due to my disappointment from it not being as enjoyable as Warcraft 3.

As far as I'm concerned, WoW is pure evil to me. Simply because as long as it remains active, the chances of getting Warcraft 4 are reallllllly fucking small.

These pretty much, WoW was pretty fun when it was first released and somewhat enjoyable when Burning Crusade came out, but the infinite delay for Warcraft 4 along with the lore-rape-train just wouldn't stop! All of that combined with a static world where choices didn't really matter....well, one can only last so long before boredom sets in.

Also they never created a Necromancer class/skill tree which disappointed me beyond belief, I wanted my army of undead dammit! :mad:
 
Death Knights with Army of the Dead not good enough for you Melkor?

I'm grinding Timeless Coins for my Horde Warrior and Alliance Paladin. Warr's main but I'm honestly playing Paladin much more. Havent played since last year but re-started beginning of summer and pushed her from 40 all the way to 90 (wanted an alli and horde to experience Draenor with).

The Warlock knelt down on the grass about a meter away and I looked at her for a second before returning to my book.

"What are you studying?" She asked after a moment.

"Magical theory and equations."

"Magic ratios and molding?" Sheila asked.

I nodded.

"I am curious, can I ask a question?" she asked a moment later.

I closed my book. I was apparently not getting any reading done today, "Yes." I said as I turned my head to look at her, resting it against the grass.

She frowned and brushed her long hair out of her face. "I seen you practice your magic every day, but it's always simple spells. Cantrips, even. I always thought the members of the Blue Dragonflight were all powerful mages."

Sigh.

That was just the question to ask, wasn't it.

"Apparently, I am the exception that proves the rule. I am not a natural at it, I have to practice constantly for what skills I have."

She nodded slowly and said: "I see. I turned to Fel magics to increase my own very meager magical abilities. But unless you respect it, keep it under constant control it will devour you, corrupt you."

"I have the power, just not the skill to use it." I said with a sigh. "Fel magic is not something I want to touch."

That seemed like a very horrible idea to me.

Sheila nodded. "It take a lot of willpower. But there is a certain satisfaction in fighting fire with fire. But you do need the skill to use it."

Which I didn't have. All the power in the world won't help if you are just bad at using it. In magical potential I was the same as any other blue dragon. I had the same amount of mana and regeneration of it.

I just sucked at using it.

"Even so." she continued. "I focused on demonology rather than fire or shadow magic. It seemed much more mana efficient."

Huh?

I raised my head at at that to watch her, "You summon demons?"

"And use them to fight their own kind. There are no deals made, I bind them to my will." Sheila stated, "The only thing they get from me is a bit of mana when summoned."

I tilted my head at that. "All I have seen is you throwing fire around."

The Warlock shrugged. "Most of the time there are people seeing us fight or I don't have time to prepare. It is... less ideal than I would like. But in this case you are wrong. Xerina, reveal." She said and a couple of meters away a being faded into existence.

She was definitely a she. Wings, horns, hoofed feet. Was she wearing a corset and carrying a fucking whip!?

The demon faded from view again and I turned to look at Sheila again who shrugged. "Succubi are the only demons useful in a fight that can still go invisible."

Mhmm.

Sure.

"If you say so." I said and laid my head back down. "Please, a bit of warning if you summon something else or I might kill it, thinking it's a enemy."

Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean an invisible demon isn't about to eat your face is apparently not just a saying here.

She nodded. "Of course. That's why I am telling you now. If we assault an enemy stronghold I will require a stronger minion. Something more suited for direct combat."

I nodded, "Make sense." and then I sighed, putting my head back down on my paws. "And now you know not to expect any kind of magical support from me."

Sheila frowned slightly. "Can you show me your most advanced spell? Perhaps I can help."

I mentally shrugged and half closed my eyes in concentration, molding, folding, shaping magic and light into a illusionary purple butterfly the size of her head which fluttered over to land on her hand. "Illusions is my best branch and this is the most advanced I can do right now. It's not complete either, the wings don't make any sound."

Sheila nodded and ran her hand through the illusion. "And I know why. You need to put more magic into the structure. You just use enough to form the image of the creation. For the wings to make sounds, you need to make them actually move air."

I blinked at that. "I need to make it real!?"

She grinned and shook her head. "I used to be a mage before I became a warlock. I don't use it any more, but I can do Mirror Images... this is a training stage for that, right?" She asked.

I nodded again so she continued.

"You don't make them real, but you need to give them enough of a structure to have some effect on the world around them. Make sounds, even cast spells when you do... or at least look like they do. A illusionary frostbolt might not do more than feel like being smacked, but it does make it much more difficult to know which is the real thing."

Frowning in thought, I looked at the butterfly on her shoulder. Real illusions? That sounded more like some kind of magical constructs.

"Is this the same way you can summon water elementals?" I asked.

She smiled and shook her head. "No, that involves summoning and binding one to your will or convincing one to work for you. I prefer demons though, they have more punch, even if I still could command water elementals. Now, give it a try. I think you need to put about twenty percent more mana into it."

"Just make it about twenty percent cooler. Got it."

Moving mana around and controlling it was just the biggest thing I have problems with. But just putting more power into it should be something I could handle.

Maybe.



AN// All the thanks to Grey Rook for betaing.
