Aeromage wrote: Being led in to Bascaradine by Caelum (who takes just enough time to make sure the addled alchemist gets there before going off to do his own shopping), the Doctor sets about getting himself set up for WORKINGS of FUTURE and GLORY!

And also possibly to get him more on-track, abilities and power-level wise, to what the Powers That Be expect of his level-band.

In order to facilitate this, his first request is either Unified Knowledge of Chaos and Anarchomancy, Unified Knowledge of Abstracts and Chaos, or (preferably, if they're both going), both of said.

Unifieds generally require Classname in the classes being thus joined, and fortunately the Doctor has just that! He's got Xaos Xomptroller (+11 other abilities in the tree), Anarchomancer (+10 other abilities in the tree) and Walker From Beyond (+10 other abilities in the tree).

Lord Gadigan wrote: Neither of those is available right now.

Aeromage wrote: How terrible!

The Doctor instead changes to alternate, vital, quest-depending-on powers!

He would like to get a 'Pronounce Marriage' ability in the Priest tree. He is a Priest, and is also a devout follower of that most excellent god of weddings, the Deific Mecha-Vashna!

The ability to do so without necessarily having the consent of the couple-to-be would be something of a bonus.

(Pronounce Marriage actually turned up once, but it was in that weird Bullfighting Palace dream.)

Lord Gadigan wrote: Pronounce Marriage- (Active Ability, Priest) Caster may spend an action to give two willing targets a non-stacking buff that links their HP values and that links their MP values provided that neither of those values for either individual is linked to any value of any other individual, Any effect that could unsummon either individual if said individual were a non-unique summon may instead delink this value

Does he have the prereqs for those? Does he still want to buy them here if they exist in the ability shop.

Aeromage wrote: Although it hasn't been updated, he has Priest, Channeler and Enchanter. He'll spend the 4 bonus weeks necessary to get Pronounce Marriage.

He doesn't have Puppet Master or Adept Channeler, however.

How much to learn Sanction Forced Marriage here?

Aeromage wrote: He's getting it. NOTHING WILL STOP THE WEDDINGS!

Up next: A bottomless box of wedding decorations and accessories. Preferably extremely potent ones. A Mecha-Vashna tilt would be a bonus, as would the ability to insta-deploy large quantities in order to facilitate SUDDEN MARRIAGE.

Next up, Bestmaster.

No, not Beastmaster.

Bestmaster. (Originally from Grabbyfest)

Bestmaster- (Passive Ability, Beastmaster) Possessor's pets gain +50,000 to all stats as a non-stacking bonus

Lord Gadigan wrote: Not for sale presently.

(Amusing, though.)

Aeromage wrote: Alas!

In that case, he'd like to continue his quest to Be Very Annoying, and get some Status Effect-enhancing abilities. Something along the lines of Status Grandmaster ('Possessor ignores the Immunities to status effects of individuals below Level #') would be great.

If that's not available, an ability that will give him something similar to an Unstoppable Psuedoknife's effect for Alchemy.

Unstoppable Pseudoknife- (Weapon, Knife, Toxin & Dopple, 80,000,000 Gold) +80,000 Melee Attack, Wielder may choose to have minor negative status effects that wielder inflicts instead be moderate negative status effects (retaining their names and text)

A potential new avenue crosses his mind.

How much for a copy of the spell Open Gate: Beta-Negaverse? (Doesn't presently exist).

Lord Gadigan wrote: That is currently not for sale.

Aeromage wrote: That is a true tragedy.

On to more gear-focused concerns! He'd like to buy a powerful Ring. His current one is good, but given what other people of his level are sporting, it feels severely lacking.

He'd like one that gives a hefty boost to stat defense and MP and regenerates MP every round. If it could also improve his Minor/Moderate infliction chances, so much the better. He's looking to splash out for this one. Let's see what they've got!


(For reference, his current one:
Ring of Extraworldly Alchemy that is Both Secret and OH SO SHINY- (Accessory, Ring, Magic & Spatial & Astral & Tacky, 56,000,000 Gold) +56,000 Magical Attack, +56,000 Defense, +56,000 to all stats, Wearer gains +500 additional points to each stat (to a max of 56,000 additional points) for each Alchemy spell equipped, Alchemy buffs with wearer as their source have their stat-point-increases increased by 500 points (to a max of 5,000 additional points per individual across all buffs) and cannot be removed by sources below Level 40, Wearer regenerates 360,000 MP at the start of each round as a non-stacking effect, Wearer's actions cannot be countered by opponents below Level 40, Wielder must be Level 20 or greater and must have the ability 'Alchemist'

How much for a second? For reasons.

He'd also like to stick:
Mystical Overpulse- Wielder regenerates 1,000,000 MP at the start of each round, Applied Enchantment

on both it and the second (if buyable).

Lord Gadigan wrote: That came from Bascaradine before, right? May I have info on where it was last sold and for how much?

Aeromage wrote: Last sold to Caelum (who's currently in Bascaradine at the same time) for 100,000,000 Gold.

Lord Gadigan wrote: Doc M may purchase it for 100,000,000 Gold on each.

Aeromage wrote: Excellent. He'll get the second ring (assuming the same price) and enchantments on both.

Next: He's picked up some great Charm-effects and boosts, which works well for his plan to spread glorious weddings around the universe in Mecha-Vashna's name.
Unfortunately, this is currently limiting him to getting people to want to marry him. He'd like an ability to hand off the 'source of Charm' effect from himself to another individual at the start/end of a round/action. (Whichever is applicable. Ideally end-of-action, otherwise start/end of round is fine)

Lord Gadigan wrote: Merchant of Affections- (Passive Ability, Other: World Merchant) Possessor may, at the end of each round, either choose to transfer the sourcing of a single instance of Charm (but not its sub-status effects) that possessor is the source of from possessor to a willing ally of possessor or to transfer the sourcing of a single instance of Charm (but not its sub-status effects) that possessor is the source of from a willing ally of possessor to possessor

For 250,000,000 Gold

Aeromage wrote: Perfect. He'll get that.

He's interested in being able to inflict some weird and rare status effects. They don't have to be totally serious, but he'd like to expand his repetoire somewhat. Alchemy spells are good (so long as they're good-for-his-level-tier, his level being 59), or abilities if available.

Lord Gadigan wrote: Yeah, same price on both rings.

Aeromage wrote: Excellent! He grabs that.

The Neon Bottle of Bees reminds him of something. He collects odd elements! And there's one element he's found interesting, even if everyone else seems to find it too weird and useless to matter.
Even Kriele (the Lady of Nonbase Elements) and Harkala didn't want to add it to their portfolios.

How terrible.

Well, that means it's likely going cheap then, doesn't it?

He'd like to see how far up the Not Bees tree Bascaradine can take him. He's got Basic already!

Basic Not Bees Synchronization- (Passive Ability, Other: Not-Beekeeper) Possessor deals 25 additional Damage to Insects whose name includes 'Bee'

(It's been mentioned it doesn't have the typical abilities. He'd still like to get at least Apprentice and Classname, as well as Meditative Assumption of Not Bees, Nullify Not Bees, Elemental Attack-Conversion: Not Bees and Nonsynchronous Elemental Attack-Conversion: Not Bees if they exist)

Sometimes, being all of the subtypes isn't a good thing). He's got a foothold in Formus, if that's a factor.

Unfortunately, nothing else in the tree exists yet, and he'd be interested in seeing what Resource-affecting stuff lies within. He'd also be interested in getting Apprentice and Classname so he can actually be somewhat proficient with his proficiency.

Instead, then...

He's gotten into Moon. And Moon is good at weird, tricky effects. He'd like to see what they can give him along the lines of messing with Status Effects (infliction, adding new text to effects, and so on). He's currently at classname-tier in it, for what it's worth.

He buys it!
Before inquiring after more, though, he has a small issue to take care of.

By being Not Bees, he becomes a staggering multitude of subtypes! This, however, means that anything that aggros against or gains bonus damage/inflictions against any subtype is almost guaranteed to apply to him, now.
Is there a defensive ability to mitigate that- either by overwhelming such procs against specific subtypes with all the other subtypes he is instead, or drowning out/diluting things with all of the other subtypes?

A note: The prerequisite abilities Defenses that Utilize Not Bees and Radiate Not Bees don't exist. Assuming they're meant to be templatable-alikes, Radiate Not Bees should probably be Emanate Not Bees.
The prerequisites that those would have (also assuming Radiate is supposed to be Emanate), Basic Defenses against Not Bees, Basic Weaponization of Not Bees, Absorb Not Bees, Not Bees Manipulation, Not Bees Immunity, Improved Not Bees Resistance, Apprentice Not Bees Resistance and Basic Not Bees Resistance also don't exist.

Not Bees was noted as not getting the usual template abilities, however, so this might not be an issue, anyway.


He'll ask for more Lunar Trickster stuff along the lines of the Poison-Mind Courtier's Kiss! Messing with status effects and the like sounds pretty interesting.
