    They are indeed, but it will only be for a short while that he is imprison, because Fenrir gets finally away, and shall devour Odin at Ragnarök.

    Arthgon, shall I take your God of Murder comment as a hint on how you're going to eventually end things in the HoL Gate thread?

    We're letting PD do WHAT?

    p.s: I think it's time for a new "Would you" question.

    Okay!

    *ahem*

    You've travelled the world, doing good deeds, and now you're in Tulla, contemplating which of the Master tests to take. Your choice here will determine your future path as a mage, and maybe even the future of Arcanum. Which school do you choose to master?

    Also...

    Battle is a big part of the journey of the Living One. And let's face it, you're gonna become famous, so you need a damn cool battle cry. What's yours?

    For the first question, Mental for sure. White Necromancy would be my second choice, but if I can spam enough Charms and Dominates, I won't need to heal at all.

    Second question... "Would you kindly lay down your arms?" *Charm or Dominate depending upon my opponent*

    It is a toss up between white necromancy and temporal. I would choose white because having the ability to bring someone back from death would be a powerful feat, being a master in it would ideally allow me to bring back more than one person at a time. As for the temporal school, being able to control time would be a very powerful offensive and defensive skill.

    "Bad call brother!" *Bullet between their eyes*

    Conveyance. As I constantly find myself on foot, Teleport would considerably cut the time spent traveling. It would also be a wonderful arrangement for escape should the need arise. Spatial distortion, I imagine, should work wonders coupled with backstab, and Unseen Force would push all the annoying minions out of my way, allowing me to focus on the real threat. The usefulness of Unlocking Cantrip and Disarm goes without saying.

    Pain is the greatest teacher. Prepare to be fully learned!

    Force. Because it deals with the pure basic power which makes everything tick. I would love to be as much part of it as possible. There are many useful magic schools (Dark Elf's view on Conveyance is not to be argued with), but no one said that I couldn't know those ones as well, just without the master level.

    Not my quote in original, but it would fit like no other:
    "Let's see you do that kung-fu crap after I desintegrate your legs!"

    Swipe one of the Duke's.

    "I'm not gonna fight you. I'm gonna kick your ass."

    Or my favourite:

    "Now you see me... Now you're dead."

    Magic school: Conveyance. Dark Elf brings up some good points about it.

    Battle cry: "Cheese buiscuit!" - People would wonder what the fuck I meant by that, and then I'd stab them.

    I presume your family has Norman origins?

    I can trace my ancestry right back to being part of William the Conquerors army.

    If you wanna get technical, my family has a Celtic battle cry, but while I can pronounce it I can't spell it for any amount of money. And besides, 'Would you kindly' is more creepy than crazed celtic screaming. (Besides, although the screaming would be cool, it just doesn't work when you've got a girly-girly voice like yours truly.)

    Magic school: Charm, that would help when maintaining multiple Dominate Will or charm spells,and I'll be able to stun more often.

    Battle Cry: "Look out below!" Hopefully that will give them pause,if only for a moment.

    Fire would be my first choice... after that it would be: , Earth, and water I think.

    "Burn baby burn" "Hammer time!" or "Ice Ice Baby!"

    Magic: Temporal, though I do like DE points on Conveyance.

    Battle cry: "SPOOOOOOOOOON!!!"

    @Vorak: RE:Battle Cry...Does "Mon Droit!" translate to "For Pony!"?

    Even if it doesn't, I think I'm gonna have to pretend that it does anyways, just because it makes me smile.

    Magic: Conveyance or Temporal - so many sneaky and fun things can be done with those colleges.

    Battle Cry: fuck that, I'll just teleport in and stab you in the back. Quick, silent, to the point.
