a9e461 Yeah trvth

a9e461 I guess gman could count as a force of nature cuz like, you’re never rly supposed to know why he’s doing anything in the halflife games, so like by proxy he just does it for the sake of it. Which, in my opinion counts as a force of nature archetype

823b65 gman would be comparible to pre-abyssal, high adeptus magicians. magicians who still maintain a bit of their identity, who can still converse, joke, socialize, but seem to be drastically less human than others.

a9e461 Tekkerssss

823b65 that's a good comparison

a9e461 So like uhhh, shoot there’s a reference here jst gotta, gman? But gman more calculated so idk

823b65 Voyager, the magician all world governments currently recognize as the most potent in belief, looks like an astronaut, and all they do is orbit earth. granted anything that comes close to them just dissapears as if crossing an invisible border of non existence, and sometimes their orbit shifts subtly due to ongoing world events, especially concerning space related activities, which some smarter governments track in order to predict global events, sort of like the pentagon pizza index, but they don't speak, move, react, anything. The most these higher grade magicians do is if theres an influx or clash in the belief flow, and they congregate, causing reality warping occurances, or even worse, they battle, in which its more like two archetypes colliding instead of two people duking it out.

050127 super target

823b65 because the more integrated with their paradigm a magician becomes, the less human, and the more "force of nature" they become. Benjamin, an incredibly powerful magician who has weather based abilities. Does nothing but appear and dissapear near and around major storms across the world. If a tornado begins picking up speed, people will notice a man floating inside of the whirlwind with an umbrella above his head. He doesn't speak, react, eat, sleep, or seemingly make any decisions of his own.

efa690 What the geek ok so how is everyone not dead or is it like purely hypothetical

050127 the pasta

823b65 not really man its like trying to find a way to stop mars from colliding with earth.

823b65 Fetishes are objects imbued with belief. Paradigmal magicians can do this on their own, creating objects that aid in their specific type of magic, but magicians that take the fetishizer pathway devote their entire practice towards producing all different kinds of these belief-items. Sebastians pocket watch, which allows for him to use his "deadline" ability, is an example of a fetish.

efa690 Is there like a david vs goliath play you could stop them with tho, yk like sealing blue judas or trapping bill cypher in stan’s mind

823b65 an Ipsissimus magician could end humanity very easily

efa690 Is there gonna be a ipsis as like the final boss or would that be like impossible 2 fight

823b65 This is the pathway most magicians follow. Its what allows for the most broad and encompassing approach to chaos magick. but some split off before finishing the elementals into two separate pathways, the fetish and runic ones.

efa690 Bro added dark triad to the power system

823b65 The supernal triad, crown to crowns. This barrier is rarely breached by any, let alone climbed. Magister Templi - Transcends ego Magus - Creates paradigm Ipsissimus - Exists beyond duality. No known magician exists at the Ipsissimus level. Then again, they might just be beyond our understanding.

efa690 sillystring

823b65 its fine its cuz pam imports suck

823b65 The Abyss is ego death, most magicians fail or refuse to cross this point, as it is extremely dangerous. Theres a chance of conceptual erasure by going the wrong way and losing control, or, worse, delving into the "opposite" realm of belief. Magicians do not speak of that path.

efa690 There’s a little um, there’s a little white pixel on the bottom right of AEX there

823b65 The post elementals are the switch from mastering the world to mastering yourself, focusing your studies and training onto your own paradigm rather than the broad idea of chaos magick. Adeptus Minor - Realizes Higher Self Adeptus Major - Masters power Adeptus Exemptus - Masters self

efa690 Hi scotttttttt

823b65 thats scott, and scott i know you're not too active so you probably dont know, but i have most of the entirety of the rest of this arc planned out and will be going through with it soon

823b65 These are known as the elementals, beginners stepping stones to tie down the basics of paradigm. Neophyte - Awakens Zelator - Builds discipline Theoricus - Understands system Practicus - Masters emotion Philosophus - Aligns will

efa690 Who is 9ce

9ce148 (*holy shit, i am so washed. i put a comma after a period, and i used the wrong 'there')

9ce148 (*dawg, you gotta implement like a chaos magician mini-boss that's a cult leader. they're powers are strong because they have a lot of followers, but comparatively to other magicians., he is still smallfry)

823b65 a "paradigm" refers to a core, resounding belief that an individual holds to utmost important, their life philosophy if you will. this can change from person to person, and the result of this philosophy is the manifestation of unique abilities. For Jonas, his paradigm is something along the lines of "identity is fluid, and it can be used to ones own benefit" which manifests as his doppel abilities.

efa690 Also is there a key 4 this chart i dont know what any of this means

efa690 Who is 9ce

823b65 The most prominent pathway that chaos magicians will usually follow is the "paradigmal", which a standardized scientific chart of is shown here.

efa690 Pagans be crazy mane

9ce148 (*is there such a thing as "chemically-induced belief", or am i on fent)

823b65 chaos magicians are individuals who exploit the power of belief in order to control and manifest their thoughts into reality. Most chaos magicians can use magic because of the fact that they're born with a specific mutation within their amygdala that bridges the gap between their prefrontal cortex and their limbic system in a different, more fluid way than usual humans.

050127 i cant sleep mother is making the pasta

efa690 Like that one brain dump episode
