[19:38] <Red> Anyways, though, Hikaru...Remember how I said about Biblical Magic?
[19:38] <Red> I...Had a idea about how it might work and the such. Like, how its passed on, maybe
[19:39] <Red> If I were to actually, y'know, make it
[19:39] <~Hikaru> Biblical magic or one of the magics from the spell book?
[19:40] <Red> One of those magics, just one known as Biblic
[19:40] <Red> Like Revelation, or Genesis
[19:40] <Red> But its own form of it
[19:40] <~Hikaru> I wasn't going with Biblic I meant named from the books of the bible unless you mean one that was created from the copies..
[19:40] <~Hikaru> Cause' we're not compiling the bible back together, just explained that with K2
[19:40] <~Hikaru> 6:20:20 PM gonefor23 But the Perfect had the book before anyone else right? 6:20:33 PM me But hell in real life people think psalms are all actually spells. There's a real belief in Kabbalah that says that the prayers in psalms are incantations... 6:20:54 PM me And I dunno. Either Pefect or pre-Perfect. Still thinking that up. It has to be something powerful. 6:21:34 PM gonefor23 Okay. 6:22:17 PM me Insanely powerful. It'll just never be re-compiled with them all so
[19:41] <Red> I could change the name if it matters, but I got the idea of how it works from tossing that name around
[19:41] <~Hikaru> - we don't have to worry about someone getting them. Since the books are lost on some anyways. Revelation was consumed. ...You can make up whatever happened to the first Genesis one.
[19:41] <~Hikaru> ^End of that log
[19:41] <Red> *tossing it around in my head
[19:41] <Red> But yeah
[19:42] <Red> Its not the entire thing of magics, just one of them
[19:42] <~Hikaru> Ah, kay.
[19:42] <Red> Anyways, y'know how Revelation is passed along by blood(if Im wrong, please correct me), and Genesis by bloodlines(which would be similar, but distinct, from Revelation's means of being passed on)
[19:43] <~Hikaru> That's fine. Just nothing that it came from the bible. Like we don't need someone knowing that there's several others out there
[19:43] <Red> Oh, yeah
[19:43] <Red> But yeah, you know how those ones are passed on, right?
[19:44] <Red> Well...I was thinking, that this one(whichever it'd be), would be passed on memetically. I dont mean a meme like a lolcat or anything, I mean a meme as in information itself.
[19:45] <Red> Like, the more you know ABOUT this magic, its use, its history, its ability, the literally stronger it grows in you
[19:46] <Red> Im not finished with it, and I'd have to learn more about Revelation/Genesis to know about how these magics would necessarily work, but the idea of a magic that spread via information appealed to me
[19:48] <~Hikaru> Sounds cool
[19:48] <~Hikaru> Basically Revelation and Gensis are just insanely more powerful than your normal magic and common magic types
[19:48] <~Hikaru> And normally have some type of cost or means to recieve them.
[19:49] <Red> Hmm...Alright, makes sense
[19:49] <~Hikaru> And also if they would have been compiled, each one would have had a book to them at one point.
[19:49] <~Hikaru> Revelations got consumed.
[19:49] <~Hikaru> K2 is going to say what happened to Genesis's
[19:52] <Red> Right. Im probably gonna say that this one was originally fairly known about, but at some point or another its magic was completely absorbed, and the book itself turned blank. So, nowadays, the only way to get its magic would be to be taught it by one of the few who still know the information once contained within its pages
[19:52] <Red> Obviously, I've still gotta completely formulate it in my head, but that'd be the gist of it
[19:53] <Red> Y'know, costs and the like still gotta be made
[19:55] <Red> Hmm...Was Exodus ever made into a Magic?
[19:56] <Red> If not, then I'll either call it Exodus or Chronicals. Actually, Cronicals would be better for it, but I like Exodus all the same
[20:02] <~Hikaru> No Exoduse wasn't made
[20:02] <~Hikaru> There was a Gate of Exodus that was a Revelation spell but I'm thinking Revelation had spells from like every kind (since it's the last book of the bible.)
[20:02] <Red> Right
[20:02] <~Hikaru> And you mean Chronicles?
[20:02] <Red> Ja
[20:02] <Red> Typo
[20:03] <Red> And the chat doesn't show ya when you make one, so I didn't see it
[20:04] <~Hikaru> Sounds cool. But fairly known? You mean after the book was split?
[20:04] <~Hikaru> I was makign it to where the original book wasn't known like at all
[20:04] <Red> Well, yeah
[20:05] <Red> The Spellbook of Exodus/Chronicals was widely known about, but at some point its magic was entirely absorbed from its pages
[20:05] <Red> Im guessing it would've been in, like, a royal library of a long-dead kingdom or somesuch
[20:06] <Red> It'll either be that its magic was entirely absorbed, or someone stole the book itself
[20:07] <~Hikaru> Cool
