A Shadowy Ritual..

A Darkened room is filled with people of all walks of life, several Death Knights, Warlocks, Mages, and a few Priests. A Human Female stands in the centre of a glowing ritual rune drawn on the floor, surrounded by the others, who are all casting different spells into a vial of blood in her hands. First go the Death Knigts, either using ghouls or Unholy Magic into the vial, swiftly followed by the Warlocks Curses, Demons and Fire Magic, Ice and Arcane spells from the Mages, and both Divine and Shadow magic from the priests. When all are done, they leave, while the woman stays behind, still chanting, and pours more of her blood into the vial. The same ritual is continued the next day, and the next, until it finishes on the third night. It has been completed...

--- OOC ---
Ok, my Blood Mage/Warlock is trying to create a phylactery, a vial of her blood that will hold her soul, so that after her body dies, her soul and essense can be transferred into a host body, and she requires one person per magical art to freely use their magical talents to do so!

Required (Note, these are only IC skills needed, it doesn't matter on your talent tree)
Death Knight skilled in Necromancy and Ghouls -- Filled
Death Knight skilled in Plagues and Unholy Magic

Warlock skilled in Fel Magic and Demonic Summoning
Warlock skilled in Fire Magic

Mage skilled in Arcane Magic
Mage skilled in Ice Magic

Priest skilled in Holy Magic
Priest skilled in Shadow Magic

All of these have to be willing to log on three times, hopefully in a row, and take part in this RP Event. Each person needs to use their magical powers to empower the Vial of Blood three times, over three days.

And a bit of Lore on Phylacteries in general.A Phylactery is a Vial of a Necromancers blood, designed to store their soul so that the necromancer can be transferred into a host body when their original body has long been destroyed, killed, or simply turned to ash. However, it is a path few dare to tread; just creating a phylactery will curse the body of its owner, causing their body to slowly rot and die.

The necromancer themselves cannot physically die while the Phylactery is intact- instead, they will exist purely in spirit, trapped inside the vial, until the magic guarding it is broken and the the vial destroyed, killing them completely, or until a Ritual has taken place, where a Host is forced to drink the entire contents of the vial, giving the necromancer a physical form once more. However, only one Phylactery can be made, and it must be kept both in a safe and secure area, but also where the loyal minions and servants of the Necromancer can obtain it to complete Ritual to give their leader a physical form once more.

The Necromancer, once inside the vial, after their body is destroyed, is able to perceive their the Vials surroundings, but is unable to do anything but sense until someone touches the vial, allowing the Necromancer to commune with them, and try to convince them to drink the vial.

Orthur, my own Fel, Blood and Shadow Magic (Ab)User, would be happy to aid a fellow Blood practitioner.

For a price.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to play WoW til the 14th of Feb, and even then it may be later or earlier, due to what I can only describe as a power failure within my Laptop somewhere...Hell do I know! But it's in repair till then. Should you still be needing someone, then by all means I'll aid then. Could be interesting RP.

You need a holy priest to aid you with necromancy?

Not really necromancy...Is it?
But, I guess he just wants to empower it with a variety of magic.
A Holy Priest, with the mindset of a Scarlet (for example), could want to use the Light vindictively.

who said the holy priest needed to do it willingly *do this or we murder your family, tell anyone I said that and we murder you and your family* sot o thing

(and im glad im not a holy priest *wipes sweat off brow*)

Domovoi give me a poke about the mage part, either arcane or frost. You know where to find me. ^^

I can help you with a clean death, Dom! *brings the warhammer down against Dom's face*

alright, i'll be poking people all around about taking part, but the idea with the holy priest was to empower the vial with all the magic arts and schools we currently possess, though i could drop them all together. Might still be an idea...

Well I think it's original to try it. I just think it might be hard to get one to cooperate ICly... Unless they have a twisted view on the Light.

Indeed, someone above suggested the Scarlets, which area good example of a twisted, Holy using Priest... perhaps a member of the Crimson Flame might be used.

And you really believe that's not easy to find? xD

Sounds like a nice concept. Good luck with it!

To twist the view in the Light is to wallow in sin! Those who twist Light's eternal word crave to be purged in flames!---oh wait...

Are you trying to imply this world isn't made of innocent white bunnies? This isn't Hello Kitty Island? Oh dear!

Isabis has a different view when it comes to the light and such, if you bring your story right, you could convince her. Try to contact me ingame I'd say, and we'll bump into each other, unless you're looking for a player who'll just roll directly into the event.

No, that'll be good. essentially, i'll be moving around Stormwind, listening in quietly for signs of .. less than perfect morals, and will then try to engage their services. Usually by offering help in return, or else empty promises of power, gold, the usual jazz.

well if needed there is a young infuential paladin around that could easely be tricked into such a thing (holy pala of corse)

Ah, only reason I didn't pick a paladin is that they are often.. a lot harder to manage, and are harder to break from the Light.

It takes but one glance upon the cathedral square to know that is not true.

Just to be a little bit of a lore-Nazi, both the Holy and Shadow magic of a priest are considered divine.

This sounds like a unique plan you're trying to pull off, hope it all goes well!

I wouldn't say a priest following the holy/Light religion breaks easier than a paladin following the holy/Light religion. The priests, from what I read, in fact... seem to submit themselves far more to rituals to strengthen their faith or test their faith which increases their confidence in their faith and makes them even harder to persuade or sway from their own chosen religion.

But the concept "priest" isn't restricted to the Light. They are emissaries or symbols of faith among their people... if they're good then they can even be a source of inspiration to the people around them. As such the priest 'class' or image that is given to the class is less Light centric, or more moderate to accept the different paths a priest can take. By all means, they are religious fanatics from what I read
The concept of a Paladin is far more Light centric as the very origin of the class (and style) lies with Light followers and, in my humble opinion, any alternative interpretation is just lore lubricant invented by Blizzard to make the class playable by Horde races.

EDIT: I don't mean to say a priest is a bad choice or so.. In fact, it would seem to me that a priest might be more tempted to partake in a ritual whereas the rituals of paladins usually involve an enemy skull and a big hammer.

Let all who have a large degree of ability in the practices of the darker Arts of Magic come to this Pub this coming Sunday at 20:00, to fulfil a role needed in a particular ritual. Details of this will only be given to those who are deemed able and capable enough to fulfil what is required.

Same for Fire and Ice are still Arcane I think.

Hmm, I wonder if ariden would see the full note, yes he is loyal to the king and the light, but someone who is willing to cut down children to reach a perceved threat to the king would find it hard to be described as kind, guess it all depends on what mood you catch him in.
