No. Running out of mana and continuing to cast results in random destruction of yourself and/or others.
Intentionally using dark mana lets you choose what gets destroyed.

Uh... That's what I said. Though perhaps I phrased it in a way that did not include the caster. That was an error.

Also, you're better at cooperating with the rest of us than you used to be.

>>325743
Well, that or I've managed to subvert your thoughts so that my insanity seems logical.
Either or. ^^

King Rai: Why are you such an unreasonable douchebag?

Demons come from the Red World, and there's some form of life in the Dark World, right?

Theory: Demons and Darkworlders are both those reborn when a soul moves on from the material world. Demons are evil souls. Darkworlders are simply those who are consumed by Red Tincture.

I'm fairly sure about this. Larro has never said that souls consumed by Red Tincture are destroyed. The only confirmed soul death comes from when a soulless fully digests a soul.

There may be a third realm where good or neutral souls go.

Larro here.

I'm putting Shoujen on hold for a while until I feel up to running it again.

Sorry for anyone who was into the current arc. It'll be back though as I've invested far to much time and energy into it to let Cecil's story go untold.

>Seeing people yelling at each other over quest suggestions makes people not want to suggest, adds drama, and makes me want to quit making my quest.

Taken from /meep/. That about sums up how I feel.

>>325963
He said that souls killed via soulless devouring, red tincture consumption, and Dark Mana all go to "Mu".

>>326150
Ah...
I'm sorry for the part I've played in that, Larro. D:

>>326162
><Shiitake> So all souls eaten or consumed via dark mana or red tincture go to 'Mu'?
><Larro> As far as most people know

Keep in mind that the souls of Amy Sky and Laura were disturbed by the incident at the school. That was Dark Mana right? They were not sent to 'Mu'...

There is more to this than the 'accepted' truth. I suspect that there is no such thing as true soul death. Each method of 'destroying' a soul sends it to a different realm.

>>326170
Somebody's soul goes to the dark world when they're killed by magic, not when they're consumed for dark mana.

>>326177
ah yes, but they have been stuck in there for how many years? and it takes a soulless about 1 year to digest a soul.

>>326177
Why do you say that? Why would it even be different anyway? Someone getting their head chopped off dies just about the same way if it's a sword or a Soul Blade. I mean, you can't just have someone's cause of death be 'magical causes' unless it's via Thead.

powerful other magics would work too, like zerin and omega.

>>326212
I figured the cause of death in that case would be 'disintegration'.

I mistakenly thought that Chel came up with the waterworks idea on her own.

MAD PROPS to Dirtbag for that.

>>/quest/185030

Dart is being compelled by voices in his head to cast feminizing and mind bondage spells on everyone he meets. That sounds exactly like tgchan.

>>326270
any women he meets he casts the opposite that turns them into a dude. and he doesn't sleep with them he just makes the do his bidding. and it's not voices, it's just one very loud angry one.

>and he doesn't sleep with them


:3

As far as we know.

SO ANYWAY, Larro... since there seems to be some confusion, can you clear something up?

How strong is the Red Stone's casting power compared to Cecil's?

Is a roll of 99 basically 99% of Cecil's casting power? And so forth? Or is it more complicated than that? Perhaps the Stone has a natural 50% boost to spellpower, so that if we get a roll of 67 or better it's a stronger spell than Cecil can cast?

I never read this quest because all I see is this every update.

Is the problem in the style of drawing or how it's drawn?

You're not giving me enough info to work with here.

Also I'm always open to suggestions so if you have some advice it's always welcome.

>>326289
Anything above a 60% is stronger then what Cecil can cast himself.

>>326170
Let me explain a bit here.

People are sent to Dark World 'only' if their souls were eaten by a soulless. If they're completely destroyed by strong magic they..

Well something else happen to them.

>>326414
So then it's approximately a 67% boost in power. Gotcha.

We know that if the Red Stone casts:
*Meteor it would be destroyed
*Zerin it would lose half its maximum charges
*Blessed anything it's disabled for a week

So, what other spells would affect it? For worse OR for better?

The girl in the box.

A bit gamebreaky:

Multiple Red Cell Stones. Sure, the drawback of the week cooldown went a long way towards balancing Blessed spells... but if Cecil has a whole bunch of them he can use them a LOT. It's like having a bunch of single-shot pistols.

We're heading into the Dark World and Cecil has both the Goldeon Dagger and the Alimentor so he could basically stomp around collecting partially-eaten souls for this.

Best thing is this a karmically-neutral act, since the souls aren't in pain when used this way and we can just heal or release them after they get drained.

A tattoo put there on purpose, both to give us a hint as to her true identity, and to remind us that she wasn't fully responsible for her actions.

I was tempted to tell Cecil who it was, but wanted Tikka to be happy. Maybe later, after Cecil gets to know her better, he'll figure it out on his own and forgive her.

Let's start the voting now for Shoujen's spiritual sequel.

A, the Rock Golem with massive destructive force but low energy
or
B, the Paper Golem with High energy and defense but low raw power?

Both are on a quest to gather the sacred Items which are said to grant great power, for a price.
These Items were encountered in Shoujen as the one that stole Chel's powers and gave Cecil his.

>>329535
I'd hardly say it gave him his power, seeing as how we only used, what, one spell from it? And even that was of dubious utility.

Lets start with the 'guy'.

let's go with girl, i liked agent paper. also regardless of what you have planned they will have babies together because that is how we roll.

Kentra so needs Sevi back.

so, Tikka, you supposedly have a large collection of notes on other species. exactly what are these notes on?

@Cecil: What's been going on in the years that we've been trapped in this dark and inky void? The last we really spent time with you, you were looking horribly worn-out and we told Alex she was pregnant.
Also: "Tikka" is the word for a specific kind of ornamental forehead mark, a cut of meat and the dishes it's used in, the Finnish word for a Sparrow or Woodpecker or - and this is interesting if you look at her face - for a Dart.

>>332271
How many of these have you slept with? For 'research', of course.

>>332271
The notes vary from species to species. It really depends on what I want to know on them and how much I get to learn. They're all handwritten and mostly about simple things like anatomy and stuff like that. I've also been trying to chart out all the different possible cross breeds but being stuck in the Dark Elf City hinders that.

>>332275
[Cecil can not be contacted at this moment. Please leave your name and number and try again later. Thank you.]

What!? I don't sleep with anyone! I make sure to take care of my own urges privately at least once a day. It helps me resist any temptations. Any examination I conduct is purely scientific.

>>332276
Sure, Tikka. Sure.

>>332276
so you are stuck in town? i thought you just didn't want to leave your notes? just get a wagon.

>>332276
So, basically, you need to get out and travel the world in order to chart breeding results.
How about you ask the I Shop for a Notebook of Holding that's capable of reproducing anything it 'sees'?
Aside from being incredibly convenient, it would also enable you to take all your notes with you on your travels with Gram AND save images for further examination later.

>>332276
So I guess you don't ask anyone to do any breeding experiments because you don't want to deal with having to get pregnant and then raising the baby, etc?

>>332278
Taking so many notes with me would be a pain. If I had some bag of holding or something I'd do it but otherwise it's just easier to stay put.

>>332279
Hmm.. If I could get one of those I'd have no problem with it then.

>>332297
Exactly. maybe if I were male it'd be different but I'm stuck in a girl body. Watching is about all I can do,

>>332300
So you'll only engage in breeding experiments yourself if you want a kid, or if you want to create a crossbreed with a more... Personal touch.

On a related topic, how well have you been playing the role of Aunt to Anya?

>>332300
Say, Tikka, about how pissed would Cecil be if you commissioned the creation of an artifact-level object on his tab without asking? Scale of 1-10?

>>332301
Yeah pretty much. I mean, I'm a human so me and any species mating is kinda predictable. I wanna save myself for something 'really' special. times like these were i wish I were male..

Are you looking forward to motherhood? Or just the joy of experimenting?

Tikka we know you were once a man :O

>>333535
So, Tikka, how do you feel about the fact that you're Dart after a gender-swap and mind-wipe?

Here's a quick-and-dirty contract for Mimi:

Task: Be a safe-haven mimic*
Role: 'Mimic' Mimi
Rules:
-Termination:
--By mutual agreement
--By choice if mistreated
--Agree to a new contract with current contract holder.

*Explanation: Her task is to provide a safe place for Art and his loved ones to store items, and as a residence when her domain becomes large enough for the task. She is contractually forbidden from eating her master's soul, or the souls of anybody who Art considers family.

Alternatively, go with an interim contract:
Task: Help Art decide on a new contract
Role: 'Variable' Mimi

Rules:
-Termination:
--Agree to a new contract with current contract holder.

Sounds good, but I think we should specify on the "whoever Art considers family" thing. Art would probably have to specify to Mimi beforehand who he considers important enough to be spared a good soulsucking.

i think the word 'mistreated ' is too ambiguous. she could decide that denial of a big bowl of ice cream is too mean and eat the guy.

I think it's plenty enough to say that she isn't allowed to eat souls without a direct order or specific permission given beforehand.
