[Skullcatrons]

Applicable BYOND Key - Skullcatrons (Main-key), Saltyhyatt (Key this character is on)

Character Name - Gunther

Request Type -  Character Ability, Increased focus capacity than usual for roleplay-aspect. 


Request Details -  Effectively, thorough lack of actual knowledge about their Real, and misunderstanding that only way to properly healing better than usual, was to find methods to expand their focus capacity to be able to continue repairing wounds. While it may have some minor benefit (Relatively about 20% better than usual, it's not complete solution), the Dragon will not know that the reasons why Healing Magic is so weak is because Mercala have conditional co-sign on the Element, and without any knowledge of her existence whatsoever, or the fact that she is the sole owner of healing field, he believed that best way to push healing magic to new field, is to expand one's focus capacity to tolerate the drain of healing. 

It's simple process, really.


Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) - He's active user of the Blessing, and because he isn't really a doctor, he tries to use healing magick whether there was urgent situation, or so. But due to him consistently making frequent uses, he tend to keel over from lack of focus just because of how extensive it is. In addition, it would justify Gunther just naturally have higher focus capacity than most. 


Roleplay & Lore supporting your request -


- (How much non-elemental magic is there?) I'd say there's more than is represented in game, but generally it's weaker than elemental magic because there is no elemental god power cosigning it. (This states that elemental magic is empowered by gods cosigning their power to it).

- (Are curates of other religions possible?) Healing magic from gods other than Mercala is rare, which is why she's such a big deal. Enchantment spells you could make some argument for but probably not healing spells.

(Are all Mercana spells tied to Mercala?) Yes, pretty much. Healing and light magic are what she does. Like I said, though, you could make some sort of argument for 'bending the rules' for spells that aren't healing related.

- (How experienced do you have to be to do great healing miracles?) Experience isn't so much the issue as it is focus issues. Healing with Mercana consumes a lot of focus, and it gets much more focus hungry the larger the project.


- (Can a person absorb too much focus and hurt themselves?) Your body has a maximum capacity. Once it's at that capacity, it can't absorb anymore.

(From Korvara Discord) How does healing magic work on Korvara if there is no Mercala?
Healing magic on Korvara functions similar to healing magic on Sigrogana. The healing magic is drawn upon from the caster as well as magic energy native to the island. However, the magic is less potent - it is capable of treating wounds, but it cannot replace limbs nor revive the deceased, and it significantly drains the caster.



Gunther's ultimately delved into the library, browsing the grimoires of spells, magick, and attempting to expand his capacity of Focus by meditation. After several researches, he've decided to pry into his own beings: The draconic energy. By using unknowingly what is the blessing of Hyatt, he used his wings to simulate focus as he meditate. Trying to deplete it with various of spells, and then fill it back with focus. Although this kind of process tend to tire him out, almost starving, and ends up needing to take a break from it before repeating the entire process.

He continued using the dragon's wings he was born with to simulate the focus in the air, and rejuvenating him. This kind of process would've taken days, months, even years just to be able to expand the capacity of focus just to be able to use healing spells. Alas, it would not be terribly sufficient because again, as everything goes, he is not aware that Mercala is the reasons why healing magick is tremendously weak in Korvara. He's trying to put bandage on a severed limb, and while it help, it's very minor effect.

On plus-side, higher focus capacity than usual if succeeded.
