An interestesting item, with enough back story to give it some versimiltude. A pity it is marred by poor spelling and bad punctuation/ capitalization. Can I recomend a spell checker, www.iespell.com Go to Comment

Could be good with a LOT more work. Go to Comment

I agree with Axle, the tone really makes this sub. It was a fun little read; the kind I enjoy. This is another great little gem brought to the surface by the Daily Highlight.

Elemental Gems though... Harnessing the power of nature in a pretty rock. I really like that it isn't just a magical amplifier, it's affects nature. This either implies that the mages of the setting manipulate nature itself, or that this item is more intended for nature-themed spellcasters (Like Druidic or Shamanistic types). 

Too often we see Magic as a force that binds the world together, I think. This piece makes me see a world where Magic is a byproduct of the natural world. To make a flame grow, to increase the force of a previously gentle breeze, summoning storms, calling lightning strikes, altering river currents, rapid plant growth, and such.

Good stuff, this is.

A nice little Gem of Power.

Interesting idea. I realize this is a tad on the old side but if you look past all the grammer, spelling errors it has potential. I would like to know more about al lof these orbs instead of seeing that they exists and all of a sudden a master orb is created in a way that no one knows how. A bit to generic for me, but hopefully someone wil lsee this and expand on it. Go to Comment

 

Can we have too many quest worthy magical items? 

I guess not.

I like the flippant tone of the piece and as origin stories go it is both complete (because it leaves some stuff open ended) but short.

Hrm.  So, let's see: (1) If you put a lot of power into gems it makes gems powerful, (2) Someone did, therefore (3) This gem is uber, (4) The end.

Extremely pedestrian, and combined with the choppy, ungrammatical, misspelled writing style, this was a Not Ready For Prime Time sub.

The GM from the old cartoon Dungeons and Dragons? Go to Comment

There is no backstory!
There's nothing interesting about this character!
It seems like a mish-mash of old cliches.

However, you did use the word "enigmatic" right. Go to Comment

True... Go to Comment

Even a legend among legends leave tales in their passing. Was he there trying to evacuate the people of Atlantis or Pompei? Did he advise a great king? Does he advise bad guys?

What is his motivation? Why does he do this? And what kind of things does he warn of... does he work to protect the world, protect the time stream, protect the Land of Oz, etc, etc.

What are this guys credentials? Why should anyone listen to him? Justy because you have lived a long time does not mean I should trust you. Any good Illusionist or Dream Mage could perpetrate his appearance and effect, ruining his reputation.

Yes he is a legendary. But even legends have origins (told and retold badly over the ages). Where did Athena come from? Or The Hood (aka Robin Hood)? Or Toth? These are legendaries who still have origins (though the details might be different than the reality).

Amen to that last part. but there isn't a backstory, because that would limit his uses. I mean really, don't you believe in legends among legends. Go to Comment

To answer what i see fit in order, before i take youre advice. Yes he was there at atlantis, but not to evacuate them, to warn them. no. He didn't advice a great king, because hes not an adviser, hes a prophet. Yes he "prophosises" to bad guys. He workes to give people a second chance. People have no reason to listen to him, such as would have been the case with atlantis. Yes someone could immitate him, but most people that talk about him are thought to have something wrong with them. And there is no evidence that he is even a real person. He may just be an imagination that, because people know of them, they see him, even though he is not there. In other words, he could not even exist. His origin like a stated has many different stories, as a DM come up with youre own if you want to. Go to Comment
