Wiki:
http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Blatant_Fetish_Quest

Previously on Blatant Fetish Quest, our protagonist, Max Power, learned that 'he' was actually a female with male genitalia, as a result of having an incubus as a father. Three years later, Max flew to Romania to enroll at the prestigious Scholomance, a school for magic, meeting Liz, your new girlfriend, on the way. On arriving in Romania, you learned that the Scholomance is extremely deadly and that only half of each class proceeds to the next grade each year.

You joined the Lotus prestige society, and befriended Lotuses. Upon arriving at the Scholomance, a city-sized school hidden in a cave that's bigger on the inside, you discovered a tower and found your father chained up in the basement.

You're currently trying to balance Dextra Domini, rivals, commitments to your society, relationships, and studying while trying to survive. You're about a month and a half in. Liz made it into the Society of the Archmagi. Your dryad hatched and your mommy-instincts kicked into high gear. You were nearly taken out by a mysterious attacker.

You think you may now have a testable version of a broad-scale emotional manipulation field designed - or at least a prototype.

What do you do now?
>>
>>23855880
how much time do we have? could we do one more round of theory and still put the spell on a coin, and power it with an elemental?
>>
>>23855898
>permanently powering a prototype spell

Lets actually test it before we put a ton of effort into this.
>>
>>23855880
Assuming we have a couple hours left, take 15-20 minutes to double check everything one more time then cast a prototype version on our desk (no more than 4ft in diameter). Try to make the field calming.
>>
>>23855898
>>23855939
Actually, now that I think on it further, permanently empowering any sort of wide spread emotional spell is a foolish idea since we'll invariably be caught up in the field as well.
>>
>>23855962
With the excepting of a permanent calming field in the tower's meditation room I agree with this poster.
>>
>>23855962
so just make it A doctor feel good spell
>>
You decide to test it.

What emotion will your first test run use?
>>
>>23856004
We can't use "calm?"
>>
>>23856004
Contentment, don't want to tip too many of our classmate off to what we're doing.
>>
>>23856004
>>23856008
calm yea lets help every one do good try and get close to our friends when we know if it is working.
>>
>>23855981
I was actually thinking about a way to power our meditation room without everything being always on

Start off with the spiritual ecology thing like we're going to use to power the entire tower, and have what are basically prongs coming off the magic circle so siphon off the magic power.

all the spells are prepared on the walls floor and ceiling of the room, and surrounding the circle holding the ecology we have a rotating disk, that also has two prongs.

When the prongs on the elemental circe and outer circle are lined up the spells are powered, when they are not lined up the spells remain inert.
>>
>>23856004
I think a pacification field was one of our main ideas, so calm or contentment.
>>
>>23856004
calm
>>
>>23856040
Hmm, I kind of like the idea of the permanent calming effect for the meditation room (not having to flip a switch to activate it is the appeal to me), but if we can get dad to confirm your idea is doable I'm fine with us going with it.
>>
You decide to toss up a calming field - or at least give it a try.

Do you try to collect some foci first, or do you just go for it?
>>
>>23856040
It's an interesting idea, not something to work on right now, but certainly something to consider once we've figured out spirit ecosystems with dad.
>>
>>23856062
The idea was at least in part because I forsee us having a ton of effects in the room, which would in turn be detrimental when deciding to say leave, instead of laying in that nice... warm.... corner...... and... sleep......
>>
>>23856072
foci
>>
>>23856072
Foci, always gather foci.
>>
>>23856072

>>
>>23856072
Only thing I've got that we might be able to acquire easily is a feather.
>>
You decide to put together some foci for the test spin.

What do you gather that's quickly and easily accessible?
>>
Hey FemCOCK, Just finished catching up.
Really enjoying the quest, but had a good number of question through reading. I'll remember them over time.

What do the tower wards design look like, and how far is our dad on finishing the new level?
>>
>>23856126
Swirls, interlocking circles, and geometric lines. He's still working on extending them down into the new basement.
>>
>>23856119

Drawing of a ball balanced on a board, everything >>23856132 said, maybe even get a chant going?
>>
>>23856119
Quick foci list: a piece of paper with a circle drawn on it to represent boundaries, I would say a left-handed broken cross to represent meditation but I might be reversing the orientation, a sudoku puzzle to represent mind (what we are targeting), an (un)lit insence stick for the multi-person impact of the spell, and whatever happens to be in our disposable foci pack which we can apply to this project.
>>
>>23856145
Chanting helps with meditation driven magic, not regular spell casting. I think.
>>
>>23856160

Even though we're going for a calming effect, you think?
>>
>>23856072
>>23856119

warm water,sleeping pill,some incense, a candle light the wick, paper sail boat, cricket,or other chirping bug, write the words for a chant, drop of alcohol,
>>
>>23856179
I think it might count as a calming effect on us or a distraction while casting, I don't think chanting ever counts as a focus. That said damned if I know how it actually would play into this.
>>
>>23856119
A magnet if we have one on our person, or have the materials to make one quickly (a battery, copper wire, a nail or dowel).
>>
>>23856149
Circle represent containment, which is the opposite of what you want an aura to do. I don't know what a 'left-handed broken cross' even is. A sudoku puzzle represents making things smart and problem solving, not calmness. You don't have any incense sticks on you. Your disposable foci belt has canisters for things like mental attacks and shield spells.

>>23856145
Chanting provides a bonus to meditation, it is not a focus.

>>23856197
You don't have access to any of the first four without alchemy or going back to the tower. I don't know how a paper sail boat is supposed to apply, you don't have a cricket, and you don't have any alcohol.

>>23856233
You don't.
>>
>>23856270
Use a condom.
>>
>>23856270
A feather, a leaf, a drawing of the sun (representing a warm sunny day)

Calm is hard to qualify.
>>
>>23856270
Well, blue and green are apparently the most calming colours, so something blue and something green, exactly what probably doesn't matter.
>>
>>23856270
With regard to >>2356149, fair enough. The "broken cross" is a reference to the swastika as the symbol is used in Indian Buddhism, an I can only assume other forms. The left handed form is often used to denote the location of temples and the right handed to represent concepts of meditation or enlightened thought. It's been a long time since I studied that so I may well have the orientations reversed or am misremembering something.
>>
>>23856270
A small container of liquid, water being the easiest.

If we don't disturb the surface, then it's calm.
>>
>>23856270
A drawing of buddha.
>>
>>23856376
Really? Every time I've heard talk of a 'broken cross' it's referred to the lines inside of a peace symbol.
>>
>>23856376
Whatever, if we know the symbol for "om" just use that instead.
>>
>>23856141
would it be possible to make an object that automatically draw ward? a ward printer? it would receive instruction by enchantment and then automatically write the ward using it's own energy source (whatever that is)? or is it actually easier to sumon a spirit to do it?
>>
>>23856431
Making the structure of a ward is a hands-on and magical process. Just extending lines isn't sufficient.
>>
>>23856415
Well, pretty sure the professor who taught us the term wasn't messing with us, but that was a number of years ago now.
>>
You put together a blue pen for the blue color and a drawing of the Om symbol. Anything else that you think of is either something that you can't access or something that, on second thought, wouldn't really work.

Roll Enchantment to try to cast the calming field. You get a +2 from temporary foci and a +1 from the notes you've made on the concept. I'll consider the first six linked 1d100 rolls.
>>
>>23856445
damm. so the only solution to not do it ourself is to get someone to do it instead?

>>23856614
Yep, that's one alternative application.
>>
>>23856506
You manage to put the spell together. It doesn't do too great of a job, and by your estimates over half the class manages to shake off its effects without even noticing, but you see some people's shoulders relaxing.

Goddamn it, we fell for our own spell. Good thing it's only calmness and not something more dramatic.

We will have to add in an option for personal immunity when we work on it some more.

Or put up an active mental shield first. Actually, if we're calm now that's the first thing we should do.

You feel it hit you too. You're feeling just a bit calmer, more relaxed. It's nothing too dramatic, but with the familiarity you've acquired with your own mind and emotions in the past couple weeks, it's clearly there. Lin turns towards you and gives you a quizzical look, but Liz just keeps on working on her project.

What do you do now?

>>23856699
>4 dice
We're actually kind of terrible at resisting mental attacks, we ought to build up some more mind wards soon.

>>
>>23856775
>implying it isn't canceled out by the frustration at falling for our own spell.
>>
>>23856775

modify it to exclude the user and maybe give it the option to focus the entire effect on a single target.
>>
>>23856775
Good, enjoy the added calm while refining our spell. Maybe start to design containment wards so it wont bleed over from the elemental ecosystem.
>>
>>23856775
Add an ability for the caster (or an automated system) to adjust the emotional output of the field on the fly (without rolling).

It wasn't a mental attack.
>>
>>23856855
Why would this spell be any part of the elemental ecosystem?
>>
>>23856890
to calm the different elementals
>>
>>23856890
To assist in keeping the spirits contented and calm. Which I would imagine is important if we're building up an artificial ecosystem.
>>
>>23856873

>>23856775
>>23856809

aha the feeling of a job well done

lets try some more theory on this stuff see if we can amp up its effects
>>
>>23856890
To passify the elementals if the start getting to rowdy and to influence their behavior in favor of the long term stability of the system.
>>
>>23856873
is it possible to make a focci that generate focci? (and not only help making them?)
>>
>>23856921
>>23856930
Uhhh, not really an issue the spirits are all contained by the circle, which means we don't have to worry about their emotional state, and we don't want them all calm and placid, that's great for pets, awful for an ecosystem where predation occurs (which is what ours will be)

We want them active so they produce energy for our wards, not sitting around doing nothing to the point they get eaten by the drain.
>>
>>23856952
That's not how foci work.
>>
>>23856962
At the very least it will stop any unfortunate incidents before we have the whole ecosystem set up.

Wouldn't do for everything to get eaten when we're only halfway done.
>>
>>23856996
Our dad told us that the spirits will be kept bound and dormant until they're all collected to be released into the power circle.
>>
You decide to figure out how to put up a field with exemptions, so that you and others might be kept out of the field instead of it being indiscriminate.

Roll Mind to try to change how it works in your notes. I'll consider the first three linked 1d100 rolls.

There's a difference between focusing on our own mind and body versus focusing on complicated schoolwork.

>>23857059
You think that you've corrected the spell so that it's selective now rather than indiscriminate.

What do you do now?
>>
>>23857097
Calmate anon, all will be ok.
>>
>>23857134
Set terminal boundaries for the fields effect? Or does power input (number of successes) define the area of effect?
>>
Rolled 49

>>23857134
I don't think we cann't improve it anymore right now, so wait until the end of the class.
>>
>>23857134
Make it harder for those caught in the field to detect its effect. When we try round two I dont want Lin to notice.
>>
>>23857053
well, here what I had in mind: make a magic stamp that change design at will (like the collar we made for Liz change ), then use it to change to a symbol related to what we need (like the om symbol we just use) and stamp the symbol on a piece of paper, and use the the symbol on paper as focci.

that would be superior to simply drawing it because it's way more faster (particulary for complex symbol). with a set of 10 stamp and the same number of aproriate symbol, we could make 10 focus in less than a minute.

is it doable?
>>
>>23857166
The latter. The more successes you get, the broader it is, and the harder to resist it is.
>>
>>23857212
Sure. But you couldn't make it into a permanent focus without strictly defining what it provides a bonus to. Your nifty shape-shifting focus would get eaten the first time you use it.
>>
>>23857252
I think anon is trying to use the stamped paper as disposable foci and just save us the time of drawing symbols/whatnot.
>>
>>23857134
try it again but remove us lin sam and liz form it
>>
>>23857252
I think you may be misreading him, the shape shifting stamp wouldn't be the focus, it would be used to make focuses like the om symbol, or a pentagram or whatever other occult/symbolic shape we were going to use this time, by using it to place ink on paper.
>>
>>23857300
Oh. Then sure, but you could just use a pen to draw for cheaper and easier unless you have very specific symbols you expect to use extremely frequently in a setting that demands expedience that would be better-served by just having a notebook full of them pre-printed already. An important thing to remember, though, is that written/drawn things on matter if the thing in question is important because it's a symbol.

The Om, the Star Fleet insignia, that sort of thing works for that reason. Drawing a dog wouldn't work unless picture-of-a-dog is relevant. It can't simply serve as a stand-in for actual-dog.
>>
>>23857134
Could we modify the spell to cause those under its influence to work together more easily? Encourage and facilitate cooperating essentially.
>>
>>23857406
The spell isn't emotion-specific.
>>
>>23857424
Then let's try adding a boost to focus into the mix.
>>
>>23857358
well I was thinking of going to the library, getting few books on symbol as foccus and then take picture of every symbol on the cell phone and tagging it with revelant tag ( for example om would be tag with "calm"). perhaps having lunch do the actual work because that sound tedious. Once you need our focci, you just enter the revelant tag, mentally change the stamps and quickly make as much focci as possible. with the speed, perception, focus and calm bonus, that could be done very fast, probably under a minute.

it would be faster than drawing (it take exactly the same time even if the symbol is incredibly complex) and handier than printing every symbol (in my opinion)
>>
>>23857134
Can we just generally refine our work til the end of class then skip to teaching Pierre in the library?
>>
Rolled 72

>>23857504
We need a bribe for the librarian to let us teach there.

So we need to figure that out first.

I don't think Petrov would care myself, when we were with Liz we were disruptive because she was quite loud, in this case the only disruption that would occur would be caused by the other students being bad at magic, in which case I feel that he would be blaming them instead of us.

The spell still seems much less effective on the lower students, and not very effective at all on people that you know have shielded minds and personal Enchantment wards. Still, it goes off great. You think you have a pretty good working version of the spell designed now.

You still have a bit of class time left if you want to do anything else.

What do you do now?

Also, I forgot the bonus you got from referencing your notes. My bad, but it changed nothing, really.

Lets not, we don't even need enchantment to teach him the defense method it's mind based.
>>
>>23858810
We didn't say we'd teach him right after class, we said we'd text him later when we'd worked out where we were going to teach him.

If we're doing it in the library, we need to bribe the librarian to let us first.

Plenty of time to go home and get a meal, since we decided against feeding off Liz a while back.

Focus for everyone else except our allies? Wtf are you guys tryiong to do, help potential enemies nut not our friends?

no we don't we just gave her a great bribe hell we should pick up a book on area effect enchantment when we are there .

get good at this the club this weekend will be great fun.
>>
>>23858635
We should try to make it so that it's in a specific limited area now, and all extra successes go to intensity. That way we can use it as an ecosystem stabilizer, apply it to our meditation room and no others, and things like that.

You decide to try to further adjust the spell to make it confined to a specific area. That way you have even less of a risk of collateral effects of the spell.

You manage to pick up a whole bunch of what he's telling you as his scathing criticism just slides right off. You make the appropriate modifications and corrections, and soon are left with full notes for a version of the spell that has a controlled range.

You have enough time to test this final version, if you want, or you could head out of the class now, as some of the other students are already doing.

He needs to be prettier if we're going to keep him as a pet trap.

I'm assuming that if we can convert all his y-chromosomes to x-chromosomes (assuming he isn't a xx male) we should be good to go. We probably won't be able to do that before fifth circle though. An alternative would be to give Pierre to Sam after we break him (but my hoarding instincts dispose this course of action).

The spell goes off almost perfectly, especially considering all of that strain, and practically contagious smiles start breaking out across the room, be they on the faces of people socializing, just sitting around, or working. The social atmosphere of the room changes almost immediately, making it feel happy and relaxed even to people outside of the spell, like you.

We can wait until we've prepared for the lesson to talk to Pierre, we don't gain anything from chatting to him now.
>>
>>23860698
If we have any actual questions for Petrov then yes we should ask them. If we don't, he's already made it clear that he isn't here to socialize. Let's not keep antagonizing the archmage.
>>
>>23860825
This, every time we try to get chatty with or suck up to an archmage, we just annoy them.
>>
>>23860698
He's already made it clear that he doesn't care about anything you do. It's the same as university professors. They teach to educate others and get permissions/funds to perform their research. The only way to get on a professor/archmage's good side in any meaningful way is to become a research partner or contribute to their research in some way. They don't want to be your friends, and the less they know about you personally, the better.
>>
>>23860555

Chat with liz! see if we can help!

>>23860701
trust we gain trust people like people interested in what they do. Also we find out what he tried, so we learn what he is good at and how he thinks
we gain much by talking to him.

That would take a lot of work considering his loathing of all things inhuman.

>Oh man, that'd take a lot of successful soul rolls. I don't support this particular method, but if we go that way make damn sure Max is prepped to mind wipe him.

I vote we go this method, because I sense his faith in his society choice is somewhat shaken: They're not all about smiting and hellfire, and now he's kind of stuck with them and he's not very good at their speciality.

... which is not where you want to be at scholomance. With less friends, kinda hated, not really liked for your skills and low on the totelm pole for your class.

He's either going to do some growing up REALLY fast or get ganked. And that kind of desperation really forges a man. or a woman. I say go for the emotional manipulation, prey on his fears, insecurities, his crush for max, etcetera.

You decide to stick around and chat with Lin for a while.

"So, what project have you been working on, Lin?" you ask her.

"In simplest terms, an Enchantment 'drill' designed to give me access to my old memories faster. It's probably incredibly dangerous, and I can't wait to try it. You were the one doing that calm spell thing, right?"

"Broad-scale emotional manipulation, yeah," you confirm.

"Seems your style," she says. "You see what Liz was working on? I can't make heads or tails of it. Looks like something to do with binding spirits, but aside from that, I've got nothing."

What do you do?
>>
Once we've got Pierre to trust us from spending time with him during mind shield lessons, we can then offer to test his mind shields out for him.

We then have free reign to mess with his head while he's under. Then when we bring him back out, we make some comment about how he's improving, and his wards were harder to penetrate this time, and maybe make some comment about having made him do a little dance, or stand on his head, or something silly, to put him at ease.

Then rather than mindbreak, we slowly but surely mould him into our little hormone-replacement trapslut by gentle nudging him in the right direction until he's so utterly besotted and submissive towards Max that he drops out to serve her of his own accord.

Maybe when we're good enough at Living Alchemy we can even turn him fully into a girl, but that will be a consideration for several years from now.

Not sure if jabbing at our character..

Maybe we could meditate for a minute to recover some enchantment? Or not just keep talking with Lin. SotA really seems to have a hardon for spirits considering Petrov was a monster summoner, Liz's first spell being to summon water elemental, and both of them roomed with incubi.

"nope, no clue what she is up to, you see what sam was doing? I also did something to help people focus and one to make them happy.

Yeah, if she fails. If she gets it off properly, there's not much we'll be able to do. We trust her to not stab us in the back, and if she does, we have made no preparation to react. We'd literally have to pray we could punch her in the face before it takes hold at this point.
