    Third category: Heroes. This category are usually made by one of the greatest wizards in TES. Rynandor the Bold, Divayth Fyr, Sotha Sil. They have reached the creatia, which means that for them, there are no schools of magic, just magic.

     

    You know while writing my reply earlier, I got thinking on wards and in turn, the Schools of Magic.

     

    Wards are part of the Restoration because of their utility in protecting the user from magic. However, they function like Alteration spell in that they convert one form of energy into another. So this got me thinking:

     

    What if there technically isn't a thing as a School of Magic but the Schools are a construct for mortals to merely understand how magic works. So things like fire and ice streams are destructive, hence they should be in Destruction even though they alter reality. Conjuration summons beings from another dimension even though they could easily be a collective illusion of the mind.

     

    As you said, the 'Heroes' category are simply those who understand that magic is just magic.

    Mate, you just perfectly nailed it. Proposal: Schools of Magic. Have a good read and enjoy confirmation of your theory. :)

    Ey, thanks for the link. I know it could just be a fallacial deduction on why some lore/game mechanics change from game to game but it is fun to try to explain it. I mean real life is weird as it is so why not a fictional world?

    It is implied that Schools and specific spells are basicaly nothing but categorizations. There is just magic, sometimes called creatia. So what Fyr or Rynandor can actually do with this creatia is the question. It is said Rynandor could see future, Fyr made female "clones" of himself, Sotha Sil masteted dwemer technology...there might be a mage who can move mountains or something. We have no idea what these guys can really do.

    Also, there's plenty of magic unknown to the general population. Look at the Maormer storm magic, or anything involving the Witch Covens of High Rock. I think magic has infinite uses- it's the mortals who limit themselves, subconsciously or not.

    Shadow Magic, Dawn Magic of Ayleids, PSJJJ of Psijics, Thu'um, Ansei, Valenwood Spinners... I could go on.

    Well I've been adding a few story section bars to my ToC. They aren't anything special, they just act as a division bar to seperate different arcs/books/ whatever....

    One of the problems I had with my old ones were the fact that they were different sizes so I'm trying to make the bars in the same peramiters. 

    One thing I realized is that I'm missing certain chars so I have to go off and play Skyrim to get some screenshots. 

    The things we have to do for our beloved stories.

     

    Side note... Something Karver happened to mention. Wonder if Skyrim Remastered will run SKSE. If not.... Remastered or have Aela change to Werewolf form when we go off hunting........ 

    I need screenshots so Remastered might have to wait.

    Any news on this?

    Evening, Tamriel Vault.

    A lot of you may remember me from my partially successful Lutherus Sotasius series, which I had indulged in publishing earlier in the year on this very site.


    I am here to bring you up to speed with my current situation. As it would be that Lutherus story was never fully completed.


    I am pleased to say that I am ready to recommit to the forum and continue the story.

    However, I had to recently uninstall Skyrim as the wrapper for my Macintosh stopped working, which is unfortunate. However, I am reinstalling the game as we speak and I am hoping that my saves are still intact. If not, then I will most likely start afresh story. Continuing the Lutherus storyline however is complicated as I had Mods on the game, too many to remember fully. However, I remain duitfully optimistic and look forward to reopening the story once again.


    Finally, my sincere thanks to everyone on here who has given a damn about my work. It really does mean the world to me.


    Thank you, and God bless.


    Dean.

    Nice to have you with us on the new site Dean. It's great to see members returning to their work and building on it. Too many times we see work drizzle out and members fade into darkness. 

    looking forwards to seeing you start posting again.

     

    As for me and my story, U.O.T.W. 

    Ohhhhh rats... I'm setting myself up for one of those ridiculouse word goals I always seem to do. My goal this time? To have edited all my unedited chapters by Dec 20th 2017 without comprimizing my writing. By that I mean accepting what I consider to be sub par chapters. So.... just how stupid is this goal of mine? Well I'm calling it stupid so Hircine knows what everyone else will think. 

    To complete said goal I need to write/edit 1600 words a day every day untill Dec 20th 2017. NaNoWriMo's goal is to write 50,000 words a month. I will have to do this every month.....

    Oh Hircine help me...

    Day 01 of 424.. Word count zero...  Brilliant!!!

     

    What's everyone else upto with their stories?
