Disguise. Carmine used it to disguise himself as a woman. Because it doesn't affect his voice, he still sounded like Carmine in spite of his womanly physique.
Substitute. Carmine used Substitute to manipulate the appearance of a piece of paper, to make a sort of quasi-interactive map he could use as a visual reference for things.

• Communal Consciousness: Showed Veldric various constellations and whatnot from her memory. Also used it to see Hell from Netari's perspective.
• Heirloom: Practiced several times to connect to the earth with this spell with Halvar, including using the weapons once in a faux spar.
• Message: She's used this with Somnastra, Veldric.. so many people. She used it to request a meeting with Som, when she was otherwise unable to speak to her out loud.
• Ice Stride: She cast this spell and then held it, so that Halvar could see her connection with the Planar through her knack. It was a very memorable and interesting rp that led to more knowledge about the Planar, and her connection to Occultism.
• The Cantrip Telepathy (adding just because): She did a silly and used it on Ellmirath and got mentally curbstomped. It was great!

Myrddin - Tier IV
}{ 3 months elapsed since Echelon 3

Yes

}{ Fulfill at least five alternate progression goals since reaching Echelon 3

1. Created the custom spell Earthen Sight [+1 apg]

2. Alongside Melarue & the rest of Dranoden's flock, Myrddin takes to demonic summoning around a Lignum Esurit tree, corrupting it to the core, creating an [inuimez] in its place. This was by Myrddin's design and idea [+1 apg]

3. Helped in the design and creation of the gestalt: Crimson Woods [+1 apg]

4. Through sacrificial progress with his connection to the archfiend, Dranooden, Myrddin avails to the discovery that souls cursed by the divine can be sheltered by beings from other realms, if powerful enough. Counting towards occult notions in design of new spells.[+1 apg]

[Curse of the Mad Betrayer]:
They lose their right eye and any attempts to restore it or provide sight to that side will result in a shockwave of pain and maddened hysterics, with spiders creeping from the eye socket. Scars where a crown once lay are forever maimed, the scar tissue shimmering faintly and always painful if touched, never fading. Nightmares creep into their very being, invading their sleep with horrors of what they have done and may have done, occasionally appearing when they are awake as brief hallucinations that leave them unsure of what is reality. Spiders in any scenario will take the opportunity to attack them, seeing them as a threat, be this in events or otherwise. Whispers, chittering, and occasional glimpses of red, beady eyes haunt them. Forever.

The following was achieved through continued sacrifice and communication to Dranoden, which I believe is in a manner of speaking, occult knowledge.
[ Within the Hellscape forests of Dranoden, Myrrdin's nightmares and hallucinations of seeing glimpses of the Mad One visions are eased almost entirely. He is also able to see through his cursed eyesocket while in its vicinity. If he leaves the premises or returns to the world at large, the curse returns to plague him. ]

5. Sacrifice of Tongue/ability to speak [+1 apg]

}{ Provide a situation or use for the spells learnt this Echelon in which they led to a significant impact and/or a memorable moment.

Do this for every spell learned since your latest rank-up.
Earthen sight - Used in his day to day life, however more notably during a meeting with Melarue's courts where upon consumption of a rock, all (Carmine, Melarue, Artesia, Bernard and co) manage to watch in horror at Myrddin's daily life routine.

Cloudburst - Used in an event intended towards the siege of Jishrim's holy grounds, Nid Arach. To confuse and create time for Myrddin's associates Carmine, Graash and Ronn, targeting a band of Jishrimites. This spell is, however, later forgotten.

Veil of the void - Used towards Iseabail in an experiment to see its effects beyond theory in practical use. Myrddin offered to teach Iseabail alchemy in turn, in spite of her horror afterwards.

Fiendform - Used on several occasions, though most notably when Myrddin invited himself and his associates Carmine, Melarue and Graash to the former holy grounds of Jishrim: The garden of Jishrim. Where upon their intent to lay Dranoden's corruption, Myrddin was attacked by a giant spider. Using the greater form of Fiendform to prevail, as his own mortal body had started to deteriorate due to his old age in favor of his soul.

Cacophany - Used to speak with Lilith Alraun, informing her of his wish to keep in touch with the Scholomance association of sorcerer's and witches after a long while of radio silence

I will also use this post to include all four of Myrddin's knacks that have yet to be made, which includes a rework of the initial one as its been confusing to work out.

E1:
Inkling Corruptor
The veins of Myrddin become darkened and teal in coloring. Heightening and glowing in coloring during spellcasting.
E2:
Corruptor Adept
Myrddin's flesh, skin and tissue becomes partly covered with a corrupt layer of hellish counter parts over his right shoulder and arm, reaching towards his neck. The layer is covered in demonic symbols and inscriptions which seem to move and become animated during spellcasting or heightened emotions.
E3:
Corruptor
Myrddin's connection to the corruptive powers of the underworld become volatile, to the point that any physical touch that is made to his bare skin sheds a slither of 'temporary' corruption on anything it touches. Ground and terrain becoming akin to the hellish terrain, flora becoming twisted and teal, skin or fur shifting akin to leathery and demonic... etc. The effect is brief and fades moments after contact and has no effect beyond visual.
E4:
Malignant Corruptor
Myrddin's visceral connection to the powers of the underworld and corruption becomes fully apparent wherever he goes. Any clothes Myrddin wears take on a fleshy, leathery counter part with demonic inscriptions and symbols that appear to be in constant tandem with Myrddin, as though breathing and living alongside him akin to a parasite that refuses to leave him. It becomes more pronounced and 'alive' during spellcasting and heightened emotions. This doesn't take away any of their mechanical effects, if any, however will coat them in a hellish teal coloring unless the clothing cannot be colored.

Hello, sorry for the wait to everyone in the queue. For those wondering, the eye on its own was deemed insufficient as sacrifice for APG; after the spell guidelines the next project will be some more thorough explanations of APG outlines. Vidar has also sacrificed a hand, which would have been sufficient on its own enough, and we had offered to void the eye loss but the player has decided to keep it.

Anyway, this is accepted. The other ones should have replies soon. Setting you up in-game before you even read this message.

I've updated the form about point 4. The character was shelved as he was intended to be stuck in the underworld in Dranoden's lair, effectively. However, due to [this] event, over which I was still playing as Myrddin, the character was convinced to leave. Largely against his own interests, but nevertheless, still. I've forgotten to update the profile accordingly, though. I have since been active, yes. (my last arcane ticket doesn't need to be reopened in regards to this)

}{ Provide a situation or use for the spells learnt this Echelon in which they led to a significant impact and/or a memorable moment.
2/07 - Treading into the cold tundra, Alyssa warms herself with [Climate Control] by shifting her hands and pulling the energy towards her body. It only mildly aided- as it doesn't help with the tundra chill. She also found a stick and prepared [Edge Bloom] to create a machete of wood that would help fight against a looming threat.
2/17 - During a Gryphon hunt, she used a flower to create a beautiful sharp blade with a white flower using [Edge Bloom]. Then she clusters the energy around her and pulls it in to use [Ignition], conjuring an orb of flame that orbits around her. This prevented Gryphons from attacking her, dissuading them from coming near. She then used [Flame Wreath] to shift the orb onto her plant-blade to ignite it into flames, in order to scare one Gryphon from attacking. But, ultimately chose not to wield it, finding that hurting it was not necessary. She learns to wield her healing magic instead, to help it, instead of using her newly found fire magic to harm nature.
6/20 - During a hired expedition to retrieve Aleksei with a group of demonic possessed, not her brightest work ideas, Alyssa took a vital stab to her leg. After other wounds taken, and downing the various opponents, she crouches down, opens her pantleg and uses her new spell to [Contained Cauterize] the wound with hot flames. It seals the skin and helped her limp to their next destination without bleeding out.
8/1 - After some delibrated resarch and many failed attempts, Alyssa is finally able to twist her magic into creating a warden familiar. Using her magic, a creature made with the amagalmation of hide and plants can be used to follow her as a pet, or be ridden for long trials on the road. It is one of the many steps at becoming one with the forests and the fae of the land. In an effort to utilize her unique spell, she created Petunia. A creation of Bespeckled Gentlemen and hide, creating a mushroom topped cow. It helped move a cart of plants Alyssa takes care of, to sell out in the courtyard of the landing. Petunia interacted with a few folk, much like a pet, before returning to haul the cart away at the end of the day.

2/07 - Treading into the cold tundra, Alyssa warms herself with [Climate Control] by shifting her hands and pulling the energy towards her body. It only mildly aided- as it doesn't help with the tundra chill. She also found a stick and prepared [Edge Bloom] to create a machete of wood that would help fight against a looming threat.
2/17 - During a Gryphon hunt, she used a flower to create a beautiful sharp blade with a white flower using [Edge Bloom]. Then she clusters the energy around her and pulls it in to use [Ignition], conjuring an orb of flame that orbits around her. This prevented Gryphons from attacking her, dissuading them from coming near. She then used [Flame Wreath] to shift the orb onto her plant-blade to ignite it into flames, in order to scare one Gryphon from attacking. But, ultimately chose not to wield it, finding that hurting it was not necessary. She learns to wield her healing magic instead, to help it, instead of using her newly found fire magic to harm nature.
6/20 - During a hired expedition to retrieve Aleksei with a group of demonic possessed, not her brightest work ideas, Alyssa took a vital stab to her leg. After other wounds taken, and downing the various opponents, she crouches down, opens her pantleg and uses her new spell to [Contained Cauterize] the wound with hot flames. It seals the skin and helped her limp to their next destination without bleeding out.
8/1 - After some delibrated resarch and many failed attempts, Alyssa is finally able to twist her magic into creating a warden familiar. Using her magic, a creature made with the amagalmation of hide and plants can be used to follow her as a pet, or be ridden for long trials on the road. It is one of the many steps at becoming one with the forests and the fae of the land. In an effort to utilize her unique spell, she created Petunia. A creation of Bespeckled Gentlemen and hide, creating a mushroom topped cow. It helped move a cart of plants Alyssa takes care of, to sell out in the courtyard of the landing. Petunia interacted with a few folk, much like a pet, before returning to haul the cart away at the end of the day.

Approved as well! I'll have you both updated ingame shortly.

• Pact of Dominance: Used to do chores for him in the absence of both physical ability and especially when lacking an arm becomes a great physical detriment.
• Elemental Smite: Used to enshroud his blade in a Lamentior's own hellfire before helping Aryn slay it; that same hellfire was used to cut Somnastra free from a tentacle.
• Cloudburst: Used during a duel with Branko; fought amid the maelstrom.
• Veering Void: Used to discourage projectiles from Cardinal (one third of the Tribunal). Also misdirected Halvar's blade projectile by accident.

Reinhard used the knowledge of Occultism in conception and creation of the Godbane. He used a fabled spellbound artefact, The Flaming Sword of Balance, a cursed demonic flaming sword, to empower a greater weapon befit for Archfiend Geormorren.

}{ Provide a situation or use for the spells learnt this Echelon in which they led to a significant impact and/or a memorable moment.
<>Sylph's Shielding: Blud used it in the now ruined by his Lord fortress of Dranoden, - in which the Archfiend was ascended. When zealots were breaching through the gates - he tactically used it to jump off a watchtower he was guarding, - and off the walls into the wild after the ritual was done.

<>Devourer's Vault: learned from Storm, the spell had been the most used one as of late by Reinhard to swap between his maces - he beforehand stores the one he thinks will be situationally useful, - like the blooded silver one he took away as a trophy from the beaten into submission Matthias - after the man assaulted out of the blue him in a tavern.

<>Fiendform: Used it in Hellmaze to pass through a corridor of fires, - finding a peculiar structure. Occasionally uses it to wear his Emberfur cloak. Used it in few rituals as well - where fire hazard was high.

<>Knock it Off: Applies it in his trainings against dummies and unfortunate subordinates
Used the spell in an intense duel practice with Velmont, - accidentally pushing him off the edge of Dakkar-Nor to his own, and his friend's, - surprise.

E1〘⊱Goldmirer⊰〙 The Planar veils both horror and elysian beauty in it. The Arcane manifests itself in the eyes of Reinhard, turning the irises golden with the occasional gleam to them. The pupils may shift to an elliptical form dependent on emotional state, but otherwise are wholly cosmetic in nature.

E2 〘⊱Silhouette's Autonomy⊰〙 An ever accompanying Silhouette of Reinhard, composed of darkness and smoke, attains its own will, its autonomy. It expresses its owner's emotions through movement and its appearance: growing or elongating horns if they are obscured, showing briefly a set of embers where owner's eyes would be, drawing towards objects Reinhard intends to use before moment's notice. Silhouette's behaviour is wholly cosmetic in nature and is dependent on emotional state.

E3〘⊱Hell's Susurration⊰〙 The Otherworldly Hellscape had left an imprint on Reinhard's essence. Those in his presence may hear sizzling and crackling of fires, and incidental incoherent whispers and eerie chants, jingling of chains, and bellows of Underworld's dwellers, and other sounds originating from Hell. The intensity and nature of these depend on emotional state, and are non-obstructive to one's hearing.

E4〘⊱Ineffable⊰〙In close proximity to Reinhard depictions of flames and eyes are animated. The latter may blink, change size and shape of pupils, direction of the stare, while the former dance and may change in colours from gold to red.
