The Future Of FEP RPing...

Like, sure, the Church of the Holy Light or whatever would be influencing the state, and there'd probably be some loose organization of scholars of elder magic. I'd think that some Anima sages and stuff would be neutral and just focusing on studying magic, but maybe others would be caught up in the ideological war.

I was going to look at that and suggest that those Mages/Sages caught up in it have light magic and those that avoid the conflict do not, but then I realized two things.

1. Awakening, whose classes I suggested using, does not have light magic in the traditional sense, so Anima-users would probably be the priests, and...

2. Anyone who would be a mage would be more likely to choose the more versatile class (ie with the light magic, on the baddies side).

I don't know where that was ever stated in any game. IIRC that's something we came up with transitioning from SkyI to SkyII to explain how magic worked (since, like I said, I don't remember it ever being mentioned in any games).

Don't quote me on that though, I could be 100% wrong. I do remember a Canas support having to do with learning and "elder" magic, but IIRC light magic came from the various godesses in the FE universes.

Yeah I like to poke my head in from time to time.

Was it? I don't much remember either. I thought Lucius said something on the subject of Light Magic in 7 and Artur said something in 8 about it. Knoll is who I was remembering in regards to Elder magic.
