TLV Antryg's Senses

[dogwizard]

Antryg has the ability to notice magic and to read information about the spell caster! The nature of the Barge makes it easy for him to not notice something, but if you think it would be fun if he could find out something:

1. can he tell if the character is a magic user/non-human/specific type of nonhuman?
2. can he tell if your character has cast a spell
3. can he read something of the caster from the spell (this is a more metaphorical thing, what vibes does he get more or less if any)

Comments

[falkeditupagain]

1. Yes! How deep the Yes, is up to you and how fun that might be
2. Yes!
3. Hanna stinks of desperate, old magic. Now almost a decade old! The vibes are 'well it was either this or die'. Other interpretations of that are fun too!

[anashthetic]

1. Yes!
2. Yes! Making the funny executive call here and saying that VtM disciplines count as blood magic in this specific case, if only because Ash does... a lot... of shapeshifting (& can't do a lot else ATM, admittedly)
3. Vibes are absolutely dogshit rancid, she has done so much work with demons it's absolutely overshadowing any 'normal' magical signature she'd otherwise have (which would simultaneously read as young and Pretty Goddamn Ancient in turns and having a lot of very big feelings. plus fire. there's a lot of fire.)

[rou_gui]

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. "Primarily her magical presence is disgusting. Dark, damp, and thorny. At her very center there is a very different spark of magic; faerie spark made of stardust and white-burning flame. These two aspects struggle against one another for dominance over her."

[tomoveonward]

1.- Yes! Magic user, and a cloned being.
2.- Yes
3.- Sure! His type of magic feels very old, very powerful.

[chaos_drifter]

1. Yes! If he has a reference point for spirits, especially spirits that are sort of alive, that’s what Avalon is. They’re also more magic than biology.
2. “Spells” aren’t really a thing in their world, but I think it’d be interesting for him to be able to see the form they take in the Rift sort of overlaid on their default form. Other than that, I’d rather he not be able to do things like see their default form when they’re using a different one or know if they’re communicating telepathically with someone (other than him, obviously).
3. Sure! Their magical presence isn’t very powerful, but it’s definitely old as dirt. It might also feel…sort of unstable, given that they spend a lot of time in a realm that’s basically LSD for magic. It’s stable enough to function normally outside of the Rift and function weirdly in the same ways every time they go in the Rift, but it’s definitely spent more time “high” than not.

[withintenfeet]

1. Yes! (Fiend/Devil, and possibly he'd also clock 'formerly human'?)
2. Yes!
3. Maybe he'd get a sense of both his oath and his god and how much they contradict each other?

[sixfeetofdirt]

1. Yes; all of the above
2. Yep!
3. There's not much to read - elves are pretty naturally attuned to magic use - though Astarion's use of spellcraft is generally about sneaking and cheating (invisibility, short-distance teleportation, summoning little fae creatures to cause distractions etc) which Antryg can/may pick up on!

[notthatkindoforion]

1. Yes! He likely won't be able to tell WHAT she is, since Orions aren't inherently magical or anything. But he can probably tell she's used magic!
2. Yep! She has dabbled in some very basic magic under Sokie's tutelage, but also regularly uses more powerful magic/powers. Those are a blessing from John, so the magic isn't inherently hers, however, so idk if that would impact things.
3. Most of her magic is going to feel exactly like John, rather than like her. She's so new to casting magic the hard way that I'm not sure he'll pick up much, since most of her spellcasting has been purely academic/basic training rather than anything used in situ.

[modestpurpose]

1. Sure. Hythlodaeus is 'human' by... canon-technicality, but he's also extremely full of magic and would probably rank in the top 10 of powerful folks on the Barge.
2. Yep. He doesn't actually use magic often, though.
3. His magic utilises a personal well of 'aether' (basically his own life force?) which regenerates itself over time. He's also clearly a heck of a lot more powerful/capable than he advertises himself as, for anyone who would be able to tell.

[empathicfault]

1. Yes! He's a lycanthrope (a werewolf that can change at will, as far as his particular 'type' goes). He also has something else going on in that area, but it's vague. (he's essentially a seer)
2. Will doesn't really do magic. But if it comes up, then he's welcome to!
3. Sure. If it ever comes up, I'll write something for it in the narrative. Will's very much a vibes-based guy, as well.

[karsiteweave]

Gale Dekarios (this account!)

1. Yes, he's a human wizard! He also has a nasty piece of Karsite Weave buried in his chest, currently pacified. But it's Bad Vibes.
2. Yes, he uses a decent amount of magic all the time! Commonly on the barge conjurations for things like Mage Hand, Transmutation for Prestidigitation, some illusion magic sometimes -- but probably situationally specific.
3. Wizard magic is pretty By the Book follow the rules, and Gale is very book nerd, but depending on the situation he can probably vibe check Gale's mood when he casts (which I assume is what we mean here?). Probably Depression, but it could be a good mood, and he does really love magic he's just lost the Joy rn. He considers Magic something you study but he does also consider it an art, and at his best he does tend to treat it like art.

Anduin Wrynn (bythelight)

1. Yep! Human, priest/healer. Specifically always has some Light-based magic vibes because he nearly died as a teenage boy and had a LOT of healing magic poured into him to try and bring him back, and now has like magical vibe check or something from it? IDK, he can magically sense things, ask Blizzard
2. Yep, probably 90% of the time going to be light based healing magic.
3. Sure. His vibe when casting a healing spell is probably extremely earnest, but Anduin is also a religious caster. His magic is belief based but -- complicated? Like, it isn't quite as belief based as he personally thinks. He thinks he can be cut off for not being a good person which is not actually true, anyone can pray to the Light and use it. The Light in and of itself is not 'good' or 'evil', and the Light is a primordial power that is technically inside everyone? It isn't an actual god/goddess.

[reformedsinner]

1. Hakkai - Yes! Youki is distinct from human energy, and given Hakkai's history there might be a certain amount of Blood Magic Flavor to his in particular.

1. Zhao Yunlan - Also yes! Human but with considerable damage/erosion to his native 'light energy' structure that's patched over with 'dark energy.' Antryg might also notice that he has some very strange resonances of attachment to a powerful magical Lantern (flame/fire/light effects.)

[theweirdos]

1. Yep! Human magic user.

2. For the magic she currently has access to, I'm cool with him sensing her telekinesis and if she does any healing, but not her invisibility/SEP field spells.

3. Rooted in nature, leaning toward the destructive end; if he's able to pick up on elemental aspecting, hers is air. Strong sense of divinity powering her spells.
