Spring Of Rebirth (Alpha 0.3)
🕑 Added 2023-01-04 08:07:18 +0000 UTCWithin the heart of Centrilia lies a verdant pool, home to a primordial elemental. While this elemental had once served as an avatar of changing seasons, capable of traversing continents, it has long since integrated with the spring it calls home, becoming one with the waters of this floral pool.
Known as the Spring of Rebirth, this sacred sentient lagoon is now watched over by the various guilds of Centrilia, as travelers and adventurers travel to its waters to access its unique transformative properties that reshape a given creature's form to fit their own desires..
The Spring of Rebirth is among the single most magically volatile spaces within the Realm of Mortals. However, while the magics of demons are known for their corrupting nature, the magics of angels are known to purify, and the magics of fairies are known to twist and exaggerate, the transformative magic of the Spring of Rebirth reinforces a given creature's will and self-idealization. Rather than twisting an individual to a given dogma or nature, the Spring of Rebirth reshapes those who enter its waters to assume a form in which they'd feel most at home and most at peace.
While this magic is incapable of altering a creature's mind, it can fundamentally reshape their body, changing their physical appearance, race, and gender, and even allowing a creature to start on a new path of vocation, losing access to abilities they may have once used in order to pick up a new mantle. Unlike the magics of Demons, Angels, and Fairies, the forms the Spring of Rebirth can provide are limited entirely to those that are already native to the Realm of Mortals, and it is incapable of providing additional power to those who yet have it, instead, repurposing the capabilities already within a given creature.
Though the spring is incapable of traditional speech, it can telepathically communicate with those who are fully submerged in its waters by presenting its emotions. In most cases, those who are fully submerged within the Spring of Rebirth are awash in feelings of reassurance, bliss, and inner contentment as their form becomes that which they desire most.
It should be noted that access to the Spring of Rebirth is heavily monitored by the Guilds of Centrilia, with those who seek to utilize its transformative process needing to first seek an audience with Cybil the Flame Fist. This is done in order to prevent those who seek particularly violent and destructive forms for selfish and dangerous reasons from using its magics to cause harm to the Realm of Mortals.
Spring of Rebirth:
If a player wishes to significantly alter their character's build, this may be done at the Spring of Rebirth. By entering the Spring of Rebirth, you can change various elements of your character while keeping their memories and personality traits in mind, making it ideal for those who want to continue to play the same character but with new abilities and capabilities
If a creature is fully submerged within the Spring of Rebirth, that creature may re-allocate their Combat stats. (To do so, that creature may trade any number of their combat stats with each other. For example, a character with 7 Strength and 13 Speed could choose to instead now have 13 Strength and 7 Speed) That creature chooses which race, gender, and physical description and they may choose to increase or decrease any of their body proportions. Lastly, a creature may choose to remove each of their class levels of any number of their classes. For each of these lost levels, they may choose to gain levels in a different class. (For example, a level 15 Spell-Fist could choose to replaces their Elementalist levels in levels in Archer to become a Level 15 Launcher, or they could choose to give up their levels in both Elementalist and Pugilist, gaining levels in Priest and Berserker to become a Zealot). Alternatively, when losing class levels this way, a creature can choose to no replace lost levels, allowing themselves to regain these levels traditionally.
Physical transformations afflicting a creature are removed, but all mind-altering effects remain. The transformative magics of the Spring of Rebirth are incapable of altering a creature's personality traits or age.
If a creature fully submerges themselves within the Spring of Rebirth, they cannot utilize this effect again for one year.
