Poll: Favorite type of Magic!?

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Pyromancer, baby! Woot!

I dunno why, but fire is a fun magic ability to have.

It kills all the things and you get to watch them dance while they are on fire too!

Free entertainment!

When society inevitably collapses, I'm going to stick close to you. Both for the entertainment factor, and because it's probably safest not to be your enemy.

Oh, come now Zach.

I'm not that terrible, promise!

...

Seriously, fire is super fun, and it's super helpful for cooking foodie things.

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

It's more fun when you combine them... >=D

You **REMOVED CHARACTER NAME BECAUSE OF SPOILER**, you. Leave the people in peace! And stay away from the well... you hear me?

 

[Something Amyss]

Oh, come now Zach.

I'm not that terrible, promise!

I didn't say it was a bad thing, did I?

Well, maybe for your enemies.

Heat is inherently good, so pyromancy


Oh the irony

Psychic/Mind magic, on the low end of the scale it might just be mundane things such as Telepathy and Telekinesis. on the high end, you have levitation (not flight) of the self, empathy, astral projection (kind of both ocular and chi-based) to the extent that you could defend a small area around yourself. however teleportation seems a bit overpowered unless it was more of an unreal sort of psychic powers, something Lovecraftian.

Passively sympathize with animals and possibly they may be uprooted to a degree that they can understand Human concepts and speech (somewhat like a Familiar), highly advanced psychic potential may allow you to "see" into the essence of people; detecting abnormalities of the body and mind or the lifeforce of cells themselves. an arcane side is sensing the connection within objects to seek people out or to detect passive psychic echoes that all sapient beings leave, including specters and revenants. In short, you'll probably become a lithe Kung Fu psychic who can fling cloth to attack/ensnare foes (sorry Rose!). the issue of Animal communication may be lessened if you're only communicating to animals that you actually know, so you won't subconsciously read the mind of every pidgeon and cat that passes by.

Certainly combines the mythical stuff such as flight, moving fire/water or whatever.

The Gathering.

What, is that not an option?

It's the best option.

 

[Best of the 3]

3 pages in and not a single mention to everyone's favorite type of magic as far as I could see.

 

[bat32391]

I have very simple tastes. I like to set shit on fire.

 

[Level 7 Dragon]

Perhaps nature magic, since I like to hang around in forests and it would be nice to control/ turn in to animals.

Plus, you can have a bunch of humanoid venus fly traps as your minions.

I usually start off with whatever lets me summon minions to do all the work for me.
That's why the new dragon age games left me woefully unimpressed.
You could start off baldurs gate 2 summoning giant demons from hell, dragon age completely neutered that and removed pretty much all worthwhile summoning options.

If it's a tcg, I'll pick whatever the equivalent of blue magic is and am as disruptive and controlling as possible.

 

[RariShyZealot]

What, no divine magic? Smells like the necromancy practicing heretics here need some smiting.

Rest easy brother, I will help you bring the justice of the Paladin into this foul den of evil!

Also: According to the source code your pic is from a story on fimfiction and I'm torn between whether or not I want to know which one...

I think I'm going to buck the general trend and say terramancy (earth magic, in other words). Don't get me wrong, fire and lightning and necromancy and such are great, but...A fire can raze a town that requires years to rebuild, but the earth can swallow a city and make it as if it were never there. It's hard to necromantically raise undead legions when all that's left is bone dust, and a sink hole or rock fall is a damn good answer to "oh no, zombies!" I can conjure volcanoes, just by going deep enough. If I am standing on anything, I have ammunition. My citadel is built to my specifications, because I made it that way, and good luck getting to it if I don't want you there. The best part? People will almost always underestimate you because, when you say "earth," most people think "dirt."
