Silvia Storm, one of my assimilagen (powerful entities that shapeshift by assimilating ‘gens’/traits from other creatures and things) characters :D

She’s something of a revamp of my sona from a LARP I did in elementary school we called ‘the fairy game.’ Silvia first spawned around and lived among humans, before discovering the Nubensis Sky Cities (an assimilagen settlement) and moving there. She has a close friend / companion / familiar; an elemental horse named Thunder (who was my companion in aforementioned RP, and my imaginary friend).

Silvia is a fairly amiable individual. Though she likes her alone time, she’s quite cheerful and enthusiastic (albeit a little awkward and anxious) in social situations, especially with those she’s befriended. She is careful (always doing her best to mind others and their sensibilities), compassionate, emotional, and sensitive (in multiple senses of the word).

She also has several main forms that correspond to her emotions; her “Windstorm” form is her default/neutral/happy form, but she has some notable others:

“Thunderstorm” (anger/hatred)

“Rainstorm” (sorrow/loneliness) and “Snowstorm” (apathy/numbness)

She also has a few forms for visiting other assimilagen worlds/settlements—though the only one I have drawn for her so far is “Seastorm,” a mermaid form for visiting the Coralnyan Islands Colony :3

I love her very.

Jistkan Magistrate (Warpriest Archetype)

(art by Phi-MD on DeviantArt)

And we’re back with another Jistka-themed archetype, this one focused on another form of magic the Imperium was known for.

Before they bound golems en masse, the Jistka has great understanding of elemental magics and of binding and negotiating with genies of all stripes, chief among them being the magistrates who used their mastery of contract law and divine magic to draft airtight contracts and channel elemental forces.

While Jistka is long gone, there are those that seek to emulate the mastery of these magistrates, whether they have a birthright to those secrets or not.

While they don’t have any civic authority on their own, those that take the title of Jiskan magistrate in the modern era combine the martial divine skills of the warpriest with elemental mastery, making them quite powerful in their own right in addition to their elemental allies.

As one might expect, these warpriests are associated with gods that rule over one or more elements, and they only gain one blessing, which must be elemental in nature. They also pick up elemental languages with ease.

In addition to traditional divine spontaneous casting of curative or wounding magics, these warpriests can also sacrifice other spells to summon elementals of their chosen element.

Additionally, they learn not just how to harm and heal elementals with their channeled energies, but also how to channel raw elemental power into destructive shockwaves, though they lack the ability to heal or harm the undead as a result whether they use positive or negative energy.

A simple archetype, but one that works best with a build focused on summoning and calling elemental creatures, including genies! I personally recommend a support and combat build that summons and bolsters elemental allies.

In the context of the Lost Omens setting, this archetype is an interesting way to show characters honoring and learning from past civilizations as an alternative to such secrets being lost forever. However, outside of it, the practice may be more modern, representing divine warriors that act as marshals for powerful elemental armies.

Most consider elementals to be simple brutes compared to other denizens of their home plane, but Kavagas the Tree-Splitter is an exception. The might lightning elemental has long served as a loyal advisor and warrior for the followers of the Sky-Splitting God, who commands his followers to strike like lightning and rush over foes like a storm front in battle.

More in tune with elemental forces than demonic ones, the gargoyles of Skyreach Mountain are divided into two clans, those which revere the sky, and those that value the earth. This has only led to new conflicts as the clans sometimes go to war, supported by summoned elementals.

Normally the followers of the Great Conflux prefer to stay out of such petty matters as war, but with the rise of new philosophies regarding the elements of wood and metal, and these philosophies have aligned themselves with different sides of a struggle between nations, leading to an upswing of young priests choosing the path of war on either side as war nears.

Okay but it's super interesting how

Din = Power = Ganondorf

Naryu = Wisdom = Zelda

Farore = Courage = Link.

Because Din, in the hylian creation myth, created the physical world. Naryu then created the laws - gravity, time, etc. And Farore finally created life - plants and people.

Din created the body, naryu the mind, Farore the soul.

And the triforce and its wielders so perfectly reflect that.

Ganon is physical power, he is big and intimidating and he breaks things. He is cunning and determined, but that's not what he focuses on. He is might makes right.

Zelda is wisdom and cleverness. She is stall tactics and information and team work. She is a powerful mage with a spine of steel, but that's not how she'll win. She is the pen being mightier than the sword.

Link is courage and persistence. He is the wild card sneaking behind enemy ranks, always moving, plunging into terrifying situations head first. He's a phenomenal fighter with a keen wit, but that's not what will get him through his challenges. He is bravery not being the absence of fear but the triumph over it.

They sit in perfect parallels to each other.

And ganon is reborn through his body - his resurrection is immortality. No matter how low he is cast, as long as he has a body he can claw his way back. He can cling to his power, build it ever higher.

Zelda is reborn through the magic of her bloodline. It's the accumulated knowledge handed down for generations, the unique power she must master, the skills she must develop to survive and get her kingdom out the other side intact. Even her name, the knowledge of herself, is handed down from all the way from the very first. Her ancestors knowledge of her future presence, her stability, is what gives her the edge.

Link is reborn in spirit. He is not bound by flesh or blood. Just like his wanderlust soul he can reappear in any time or place. His variation, his unpredictability, is exactly how he fights. It's what makes him so hard to pin down.

Ganons need to build strength means he can't chase after link. Links impulsiveness means zelda can outwit him. Zeldas stationary predictability means she's an easy target for ganon.

But the other direction?

Fire melts ice, ice redirects lightning, lightning burns fire.

And that's the very essence of the triforce.

Elemental of Lightning

I don't know why, but here's a spontaneous crossover. Won't do it again (maybe)

It was fun. I LOVE TEAM DUDES SM I LOVE THESE THREE STRONGnSTUPID KIDS THEY'RE SO FUN TOGETHER I wanna draw them more

[unknownsigils]

living in obscurity

[aroaceleovaldez]

chewing on big 3 kids being capable of absolutely devastating natural disasters and apocalypse-level outbursts of power.

Percy who creates hurricanes complete with lightning that pummel titans and flooding and whirlpools that can trap god-powered crocodile kaijus. Earthquakes that erupt volcanoes. Hazel who sunk an entire small island entirely on her own with her final breath, against giants and a primordial goddess of the earth.

If Nico dramatically wilts plants and cracks the ground when he's mildly stressed, and disintegrates enemies down to their skeletons with a single touch or rips their souls out of their still-living bodies, and can command armies of the undead, what happens if he tries to cause destruction? Even outside of total zombie apocalypse or insta-killing a crowd, he's shown enough geokinesis to absolutely be capable of the same destruction Percy and Hazel can manifest.

What about Jason? He can control the winds and storms. There's no way he can't create the most destructive tornadoes with casual effort that he can never justify using for the collateral damage they'd cause. With a single thought he can rip up a town and launch the remnants 50 miles out. (Jason in the center of a Dead Man Walking tornado, vortexes responding to his movements like an avatar...)

And what can anyone do to combat it? How can you fight the wind lifting everything you know and love into the sky, or floods sweeping you away, or the ground giving way beneath you? The Big 3 kids are scary because they are forces of nature, and their whims are the only thing preventing you from witnessing that at any given moment.

"I never meant to hurt you, Jay. If I had known it would've destroyed our friendship, I'd take it all back."

Full Background undercut! Thank you again @novastar134 for the lineart!!

it's been a while since I did a redraw but felt the NEED to redraw this screenshot after @goldendaydna shared it during our rewatch before DR S3

also noting why i love this scene so much-- cole having green in his powers around this time AND especially in this scene is crazy to me because of the fact he had just been talking Lloyd and tbh i wouldve ignored it of being anything if Jay hadnt had flicks of red in his lightning and HAD JUST BEEN TALKING TO KAI 😩 like I might be delulu but this is my headcanon and I STAND by the colors being there cause of how much they influence each other early on 😤😤

[ups3tti]

Occasionally I'll see people talk about Wojira and the amulets of storm and wave and be confused/actually critical of how it was Wind and Water that were identified as the storm elements/wojira elements and not a different element added onto that/in place of one of them, such as lightning, and that baffles me a little bit because weather patterns and storms are very much dictated by water content and air movement. Those are the two definitively most influential elements in a storm. Lightning is part of a storm but not part of the *creation* of a storm. It especially makes sense for Ninjago specifically considering Wind and Water were already set apart from all other elements. I dunno man I feel like it makes a lot of sense
