Player Plot - Bad Moon Rising - OOC Post

Tomorrow night, sometime between the late hours of the 11th and the early hours of the 12th, Ronan Lynch is going to make a big mistake. Having heard about Yennefer's recent inability to manipulate chaos, he's going to attempt to dream an object that can completely restore her magic.

Unfortunately, this is going to give the Singularity a terrible case of hiccups. For the next two weeks, the Summoned will be suffering the effects of these hiccups to varying degrees, feeling anything from mild irritability to outright madness as they experience surges of power beyond what they're used to.

This madness may be especially acute in characters who have no natural magical abilities of their own and have only experienced magic for the first time here in Abraxas. It's possible they'll temporarily gain chaotic magic over the course of the next couple weeks, which will be powerful but unwieldy and dangerous to the user or others around them. How exactly these powers manifest is up to you. If you're not sure whether what you have in mind is too OP, just ask the mods. (Don't ask me! I have no idea!) Edit: Mod clarification below!

Characters with powers of their own might find them distorted, as if the chaotic magic pulsing around them is interfering with their native abilities. They might end up with entirely different powers or none at all, which could leave them afflicted with temporary insanity and a desperate need to restore themselves.

This plot is completely opt-in! Whether or not your character is affected โ€” and to what degree โ€” is totally up to you. This event is an excuse to use terrible magic you wouldn't ordinarily get to play with or even let your character go wild with a chaotic evil alignment switch. Just don't break the game! If characters wreak too much havoc and their fellow Summoned can't take care of the problem, Abraxan mages will step in to temporarily neutralize their powers.

If anyone wants to track down the source of this big problem, hit me up and we can plot it out. Anyone who can sense fluctuations in magic might just be able to point the finger at Ronan as the cause. People are welcome to explore solutions for undoing Ronan's mess, but in any case, the Singularity will restore itself to order by the 25th.

Coincidentally, the eclipse will begin a full day after the first signs of madness appear. It's totally unrelated, but one couldn't blame our temporarily insane Summoned fellows for getting extra paranoid about it.

You can use this post to plot if you want! Go wild!

Stephen will have greatly fluctuating magic for the majority of this event, in which his native spells will be anywhere from explosively dangerous to completely and utterly gone. This, combined with the mental effects, will leave him very agitated and kind of an ass, harkening back to his pre-sorcery days. Hooray for thinking youโ€™ve let go of your control issues only to be faced with them again!

He will also feel awkward and terrible about acting like a jerk once this all wears off. :โ€™)

Sephiroth and madness DO NOT GO WELL TOGETHER and while it is highly tempting to put him through the wringer, I think heโ€™ll focus mainly on confronting others afflicted by madness and wacky magic. If someone needs a character to calm theirs downโ€ฆ possibly with a fight (or not!)โ€ฆ hit me up!

I am willing to maybe do bouts of temporary madness with him but theyโ€™d be fairly short and wouldnโ€™t lead into anything particularly catastrophic. Itโ€™s available as cr-building flavor though if anyone is interested.

Hennessy absolutely will not, but she might buy him a drink as a peace offering.
