Shapeshifter

This came to me as an addition to my post about the next cycle of Halloween/Xmas. But I figured since it was something of this caliber, I should probably post it separate.

-Lesser- Staff Weapons:

As a tribute to some of Nightmist's more memorable Staff members. I was thinking about making a possible crafting idea, to go with my Halloween idea.

Ghost of (Past Staff Members) - Resurrected from their eternal slumber by Jack's wicked Halloween Magic, the Ghost of (Past Staff Members) is a carbon copy of its former mortal body, but none of its former glory.

They would, in concept, drop something akin to Soul Gems, coloured/named to the former staffer. (i.e. Scripto's Soul Gem/ Scription Gem, to use Mark/Scripto as an example.) Gems would be used in synthesis with existing items to create a lesser replica of old staffer weapons, much akin to the gems dropped by the reindeer in this most recent Xmas quest.

To use Mark as an example again: Sword of Existence + (x) Scripto's Soul Gems/Scription Gems (with the possible addition of other items as well) = Lesser Scription Blade.


DISCLAIMER: No staffers were hurt in the creation of this idea... We just tickled Mark a little... <3 Lol.

As before, I understand that this idea could be seen as severely controversial, I would like to ask that responses avoid flaming players/staff. I have brought this idea up in game to get a taste for responses, and Ive gotten pros and cons.

To save him the time of posting on forum. LINK from PANDEMONIUM on 1Alt has said that he strongy opposes the idea. Whereas Ive gotten positive response from other players.

Constructive criticism only. Thank you.

I will edit and re-post here as I continue developing the idea. Currently I'm just trying to get a general feel for how people react to the idea before I go putting too much effort into these musings.

Here is what I have so far:


HALLOWEEN AND CHRISTMIST 2013

OVERALL STORY: There are two extremely powerfully magical days in a calendar year. Halloween, and Christmist. The Halloween story will further tie into the Xmas quest by being a return of the same villain. Because of his defeat on his own holiday, he is hell-bent to steal Santa's magic and take over Christmas, and thus, get revenge on the realm of Nightmist, and the Nightmistians that tried to banish him.

Halloween: 10/31/2013

STORY: A rogue mage, hidden away from the world for years, finally comes to the surface with a plan to conquer the realm by harnessing the magical power of Halloween. He spends his time buried in tomes and scrolls doing research and trying to come up with an ultimate magic, capable of annihilating an entire city, or the entire realm. The mage eventually comes upon tomes and scrolls that explain how to harness the magical power of Halloween, and so he waits, plans, and is finally ready to unleash his newly aquired powers upon the realm. Ghosts of his victims start swarming Nightmist and surrounding cities, pleading with adventurers to help find Jack and end his evil plot!

BOSS: Jack the Hallo-mancer. - A rogue mage that has aquired the ability to harness the magic of Halloween, granting him unbelievable magical power, that he intends to use to conquer the realm.

Christmist: 12/25/2013

STORY: After being defeated on Halloween, Jack escaped imprisonment and went back into hiding to bury himself further in his research, believing that he was only beaten by his own lack of power. He plans to use the same strategy to harness the magic of Christmas and once again take the realm by storm. He manages to get into the North Pole and defeats Santa with his stolen Halloween magic, then starts to syphon the magical energy away from the North Pole and its inhabitants to further bolster his powers. A small group of severely weakened Elves escape the North Pole and its calamity to warn the inhabitants of Nightmist and beg for their assistance! Will the adventurers of Nightmist once again rise up to face this maniacal wizard and his evil intentions?

BOSS: Jack Kringle - The infamous Jack the Hallo-mancer returns, with his newly harvested power of the Christmas spirit. He's back to seek his revenge upon the all those that stand before him and conquer the realm!

Again, its a little light on information, other than some basic story plot. Hopefully people will go light on flaming me, and offer only constructive comments aimed at the topic of the post. If you have nothing to say to help develop this idea, please refrain from posting. (I.E. - Post about the effort being wasted or starting slander against players. Im just inspired, and figured I would show what Ive got so far.)

People tend to like my thoughts, even if some of my ideas leave a little to be desired. Inspiration has struck, lets see what happens?
