Domain desired: Learning
Pony: Animal Crossing RLC Sheet on Discord
Powers:
Book Wyrm: A pony may come to him with a book and ask that they be blessed with all the knowledge within it. When granted, the pony will be able to recite the book verbatim if they so choose. This does NOT equate to applicable physical skill (i.e. memorizing a book on bodybuilding does not mean they can go out and bench 200lbs). Only one book can be learned a day by any individual pony, and repeated blessings over time will cause headaches. Alicorn will refuse to perform blessing more than 10 times in any given span of 3 months, as it can eventually cause mania and confusion if abused.
Did You Know?: Alicorn has the passive ability to spout facts about just about anything and have the listener remember it. The literal 'magic phrase' is "Did you know...?". When started with this phrase, whatever follows will magically stick in the mind of any ponies who physically heard it. Ponies must therefore be in hearing range and be actively listening to what the Alicorn is saying.
Brain Juice: Alicorn can bless a pony with prolonged energy and concentration for studying or learning a particular task of their choosing. He cannot give someone the ability to play the cello, but he can provide the pony with the stamina and extra ability to retain what they learn. The blessing lasts a week, with the first day being the most potent and then waning over time. Interest in other activities will be markedly decreased, and a pony can only ask for Brain Juice for one skill at a time.
Studious Aura: Hanging out around the Alicorn within the same room (i.e. everyone studying around them in a Library-like-space) will find their knowledge retention and interest in the subject matter they are studying increased. Much less potent than Book Wyrm or Brain Juice, just a general aura of studiousness within a 40ft radius (the area of a large room).
@polliwoggi
book wyrm: how often can he do it in general - I know once per pony per day, but how many times per day/week/month/etc total? also, right now this is more along the lines of memorization - do they at least have to do some token action of
learning, like reading the book through?
did you know: how many facts from him can stick in one pony's head at a time? does the fact gradually fade, or does it become part of their long term memory over time? is it simple memorization of a fact ("Did you know Example Mountain is 1500ft tall?" vs having an understanding of why that fact is important or how it came to be)? does it have to be an actual FACT or could it be something he made up entirely?
brain juice: how often can he bless ponies with this, about how much faster can they learn (twice, three times, etc) compared to their normal speed?
studious aura: ok! this is fine :3

Domain desired: Wild cats
Pony: [X]
Powers:
Roar: She can understand wild cats to an extent. Being able to tell their basic needs/wants from their cries and calls and, roughly, able to convey that
Catnip comfort: Passive She has a calming aura around them that soothes wild cats. It varies on the size of the cat, the effect being stronger for smaller wild cats than it is for the larger ones. It also only works when within five (5) feet of the alicorn.
Suggested purrsuasion: While she cannot control wild cats outright, she can offer suggestions for them to do. The cats don't often listen, but the smaller ones are willing to do so more often than not compared to larger wild cats.
@polliwoggi
suggested purrsuasion: what sorts of things can she get them to do - actions like trained animal sorts of things? I think this would be fine to write as a 'gentle compulsion' - it's fine if she's
generally successful as long as you give me a limit to the number of cats she can push towards action at a time (say for big cats and small wild cats so we have a range to understand)
Starlight Alicorn Therapy Kiss!
Domain desired: changing over to Peace
Pony: Morrigan
Powers:
Resounding Call: this power makes her feel more in tune with the words and feelings of others
if she feels like someone is truly hurting--be it physical, emotional, psychological--she will find them to help in which ever way she can
The Dancing Twilight: an illusionary power that allows her to make auroras appear
this power is known to cause a sense of awe in others have a calming affect on those who have a heavy heart
The Walk Between: a teleportation spell that allows her to teleport herself and 1-2 others
she will usually take others to her secret garden, being mostly roses, that she tends to and where wildlife thrives
this place is enchanted to have a relaxing affect on others, allowing them peace, especially in their hardest of times
the animals happily flock to visitors, finding the ponies to be great company, too
The Weight of Your Heart: when a pony is baring their heart and soul to her, she takes on some of their sorrows to lighten their load
this does cause her to experience a flood of emotions or pain that lasts for approximately a day
to her, it is worth it to help take part of the burden of another to keep it from crushing them
@polliwoggi
i look forward to input!
resounding call: ok, I get how that works with the domain - does it only work if someone is hurting or at odds with themself, etc?
dancing twilight: interesting take on it but I like it, it's basically a peaceful projection? how often can she do it and how many ponies can it affect at once - also the sense of awe doesn't really make sense for her domain as much as simply bringing a peaceful serenity to those it affects, maybe?
walk between: justify this power re: peace, please. there's nothing inherently teleporty that I can think about with it. I could see transforming a place to a peaceful setting, or possibly even a small pocket dimension or a singular teleport location that is calming, but not an anywhere teleport.
weight of your heart: okay, how does this affect the pony? does it lighten their pain or emotions, making them feel less pain or weight? how often can she do this?
suggestion - change the domain to something like Soothing, Tranquility, Repose, or even Catharsis if you want to work more with getting bad emotions out. Peace could lend itself to what you're going for, but could also work for ending conflicts, diplomatic negotiations, etc, and I think that something along those lines might be more concise for the direction you seem to want to take her? o vo)a
Starlight Alicorn Therapy Kiss!
Domain desired: Emotions
Pony: Lex
Powers:
1. Emotional perception manipulation - With a touch, Pon can manipulation how other ponies emotional view the effected pony - lasts up to five minutes
ex.- Highly Suspectious - Effected pony seems very suspicious, they are hiding things, can't be trusted
notes- Works with how well the effective pon is known to others. A pony that is close friends to effect pon might be able to fight off the persuasion laid by logic and knowing they are truly not like that
2. Surge- Area affect within 100 ft of Pon - Pon radiates a vibe of current emotion out, effecting everyone in the area.
ex - Hyperthymic temperament - surrounding ponies are suddenly lost in feel of great and fanatic energy and good mood. Everything is sunny and wonderful and need to do things right now. Omg, everyone! Watch me do the thing.
3. Rally: Pon can use their ability to effect their words, giving them an emotional weight to those that hear them. They can seem like the most truthworthy pon in the area. Can use up to three times.
4. Changeling map: Pon can sense changelings as they fed on emotion even if they are disguised. Sort of glow of drawn emotions from one to another. Can only known if a changeling is actively feeding. Otherwise they are hidden.
@polliwoggi
emotional manip - cool, I like it. how often can they do it?
surge - clarification - okay, so this basically fills over ponies with their current emotional state, right? just wanna make sure I'm reading it right. how often for this one too?
rally - so their words carry an emotional weight or instill that feeling into those who can hear them? I think that can work too, but I don't think something like making them seem trustworthy exactly would work - since that's not really an
emotion... but something like feeling charged up or READY TO GO at a rally, or super sad at a funeral, or something like that? that could work. how many ponies can they affect at once and how long does the effect last?
changeling: that works since it's only while feeding since they could sense the emotion being transferred. can we re-word to indicate that they can sense any unnatural change in emotions in others, including sensing changelings when they are feeding? since it would make sense to apply to other things too, like emotion-altering magics!

Domain desired: Adventure
Pony: SC Purchase
Powers:
Join Me Friend: Able to gain allies to form a group or party for adventure, targets must be willing and effects only last 24 hours. Can not be used in quick succession on the same pony, must wait 48 hours after the effect has ended.
It's only a Scratch: Able to convince a fellow pony that a wound isn't as bad as it seems to continue the journey. The effect of the convincing only lasts 4 hours and can be used multiple times on the target until a destination for a quick rest is located and the party stops. Has a chance to fail (user rolls a d20 anything below 10 is a fail).
(note, does not heal, and does not take the pain away only makes them believe the journey is worth the pain to continue on)
Arrow to the knee: Able to talk for hours about the adventures the user has gone on themselves, annoys adults, fascinates foals. The user can exaggerate the story to make it seem more than it was.
Those in range can let the power take hold or ignore it entirely to negate the effect of compelled listening.
Noble Call: The user gives a pep talk to a large group of ponies in an attempt to send them on an adventure for a pony, place, or thing. Can be resisted, does not effect foals or the elderly. Those caught in the power feel compelled to go an adventure and complete it. Can be broken by ignoring the compulsion.
Destination: Allows targets to be able to know the destination of their journey to; an item, location, or pony, at the start of the adventure, not able to see or pin point on a map, but a sense of "This is the way, I can feel it"
@polliwoggi
join me friend - basically gives someone the push they'd need to take the plunge and go on an adventure? (just clarifying). How many ponies can be affected per day?
only a scratch - since it's potentially endless, perhaps the DC increases every time? ie, must be below 10 the first time, then below 9, then 8, etc - so they couldn't ~technically~ keep pushing a pony to go on forever
arrow to the knee - so basically the old man you just can't stop listening to? A+ love it ahaha
noble call - how large a group and how often can it be attempted
destination - how often can they give this 'blessing' and how long does it last, or is it more until the adventure is over?
Venus Help-Me Chain!
Pony: Dayglow Luster
Powers:
Can light up their body on command, will last until turned off.
Can generate and absorb light: they can create a spectrum of true light to true dark in a 30ft area.
Can travel at speed of light for a specified amount of time (plz help)
Can shift how light travels allowing for invisibility or color shifting.
Can concentrate light at different levels: low level being things like lasers, and higher levels being solid hard light constructs (armor, weapons, bridges, buildings). They need to take a break and recharge for anywhere from 15mins to a few hours depending upon their level of usage.
They can produce light energy. The use of this ability is only for emergencies and can cause them to pass out, or at the very least be weak for a couple of days. This allows them to make hard light batteries, generators, and many other power sources.
I know my domain will be light, and I can narrow that down to light physics if you think that would be better, but I need to make sure I broke all this up appropriately and made sufficient drawbacks for the more powerful abilities (if they are needed). I also wanted an opinion on a good time limit on the light travel ability simply because you can travel very far in short periods so would it be better for like a few seconds or a few minutes?
Also do I need to give the abilities names?
Thank you for your help!
@polliwoggi
before I start, nah you don't have to name them, it just kinda became a tradition because it's fun. xD
typically we don't ask for drawbacks because most of those are IC and still might affect other players (as like, if you have a SEVERE DRAWBACK THAT YOU CAN ONLY USE ONCE A YEAR ... you could still use it in RP basically whenever, so it's best to balance the power and not the side effects).
lighting up/creating a light spectrum seems fine, absorbing light would not - that's basically an opposite power, which we don't allow. (I use injury as my easiest example - it wouldn't make sense for the alicorn of injury to heal injuries, right? that's an opposite power. light absorption falls into this as it would be under the domain of something like darkness [which is the absence or absorption of light])
traveling at the speed of light I think due to how quickly light moves would be more of a ... let's say can more or less almost teleport - travel at the speed of light - x times a day rather than a set amount of time. I think also something say, like, must be able to travel in a straight, unobstructed line, and will bounce off of reflective surfaces, would make sense - as though they were transforming into a light beam, rather than just GO FAST? o vo something like that I'd say maybe a few times a day, no more than 4-5 - could reasonably be any distance they wanted, but would have to fill that requirement of 'be a location within a straight line that a sufficiently powerful beam of light would be able to reasonably reach from their starting point'. given that, they could travel at the speed of light
invisibility would be an optical illusion effect, but could definitely work - similar to how certain test camos work, essentially by projecting the light beams that indicate what SHOULD be behind the user? you'd definitely need a limit on how often / how long per day this could be done.
for hard light constructs, you will definitely need an upper bounds on how large an item can be made at one time and how often that can be done or ... perhaps more an upper bounds and how long they hae to recover (ie, max = a large gymnasium for 30 minutes, must recharge for two weeks), or somesuch.
producing energy is similar, and likewise since they aren't just electricity I don't know that they could necessarily produce a battery or generator - do they have the electrical knowledge to construct a hard light battery in such a way that it could hook up to a conduit? however, they could certainly produce energy to be absorbed by something already fitted for light or solar type energy? I'm pickier here because of how electrical currents work - vs a hard light building which they're simply willing to stay up and stable, this could interfere with how the electronics inside function and needs to be fairly precise
we've talked about yours and being NPCs so they're good to go

Domain desired: Mending
Pony: RLC order from last year
Powers:
[1] Mend object: Pony can seal up tears, rips, and cuts in most material. If material is lost or missing, it remains gone. This works by basically zipping the fibers, layers of partials back to the original shape. EX can mend a plate cracked in half. If at the site - get a nearly complete plate, if brought to him, any tiny shards left behind do not fill in, leaving gaps. Leaves behind a faint path of the mend. Max size of item able to fix is probably a large kitchen table, certainly can't zip up a roof if it cracked in half. Objects are easier to mend then people and such can usually mange to mend around 3 to 4 large things a day and a few dozen minor things.
(can not 100 % return to original) (Does not work with dents, rust, etc)
[2] Mend Body: Pony can seal up cuts, breaks, etc. He can reattach a limb, or set a bone, or seal up a cut to stop the bleeding. While his powers cleanly seal up injuries, they do no do anything about pain management, bruising, blood loss etc. Cuts are easiest leaving just a faint line of where the flesh was basically zipped in a way back together. Bone needs to be set, unusually by using telekinesis. Mending works by what separates naturally wants to return so attaching limbs backwards would be a lot more difficult since the edges would not line up property.
Mending body takes longer - probably only manages one or two really large mendings a day, but has an easier time sealing up cuts.

Domain desired: Swapping Piracy for Pirates!
Pony: Captain Morgan
Powers:
Cutlasses, Not Cutthroats - Can pass the mastery of a cutlass to another pony for up to four hours, so long as that pony has a cutlass on their body at the time. (Strapped to their flank on a sheath, or out being used.)
Cartography, Piracy...Same Thing - Can read any map, regardless of whether its in code or not.
Drink Up Me Hearties - Is it a power or are they an alcoholic? Either way, they have a remarkably high tolerance when alcohol is involved.
Set Sail, You Scallywags! - Bestows the knowledge of how to sail a ship to anypony in an five foot radius in order to crew their ship. Once they leave this radius, the knowledge fades over the next couple of hours, unless A - Captain Morgan calls upon this power again and they happen to be in the area or B - They find that if they decide to take on sailing as a career, that they still have the muscle memory of when they were under the enchantment's influence and it's easier for these ponies to learn it. Captain Morgan can use this power up two twice a day.
Thar Be Treasure - Can sense the nearest treasure (objects with monetary value such that they can steal) (much like a compass in this way) so long as they are at sea. Once they get onto land, they can no longer tell where the treasure is hidden.
@polliwoggi
approved!
@polliwoggi
Wow I'm finally replying after so long.
For Memories:
Memory Refresher - It doesn't get stronger when she does it on purpose. It's more of when she does it on purpose she can turn the ability on or off instead of it being just an aura about her effecting anyone in that 10-20 feet radius. She could instead choose to direct it to one pony in that space instead of all.
Memory Share - Okay I'll remove that part from it. As for how often she can do it I would say since she can only go into the Mindscape to get a memory for only 4 hours a day I would say that she could only do this once per day since she can only use it on one memory at a time. So for that day it would be the only memory she could show and it would only be for the 4 hours she can access another pony's mind.
Photographic Memory - Okay!
For Forgetfulness:
Mindscape: This is the one that I've thought about the most. I was mainly using it as a way for her to know that a memory exists and also be able to 'lock' it so the person can't access it. She can't really view the memory itself without her sister, just more of seeing like a book spine or a file tab that says something about it like a day or person and then she can make it so that the pony she's making forget can't access that particular thing. I also realized that forgetfulness doesn't work on just memories but can be ideas, thoughts, words, people, objects, etc. So I was thinking of making this some sort of ability that grants her basic access to 'see' what a pony knows. Like a filing room of the mind that shows things that a pony would know and that when there she can then use her other abilities to make them forget a particular thing (like locking a filing cabinet that would be about apples or something).
Memory Haze- Same as Memory Refresher. It doesn't get stronger when it's done on purpose, just turns it on or off instead of being an aura.
Memory Wipe- Going off what you said about shared memories not fading then yes she would be able to use this on another pony to remove those memories. I would say she could use this safely once per day to erase false memories from others and to use it more than that would hit the consequences. Consequences to Lethe would be for her to forget something as it'd be a sort of kickback to her and she would have no control over what it is that she forgets. She also would completely drained like when she uses Amnesia.
mindscape - it still unfortunately doesn't make sense for her to just be ABLE to do it - it's fine if it works on all of those things, but really I can't justify the filing for forgetfulness, she would need to know externally (maybe through her sister telling her) before being able to access. the act of pulling up what they know just seems to be directly the realm of memories as she's literally looking through their memories. :<a I really am trying to work with this one but I can't see how the act of pulling up memories relates to the domain of forgetfullness, as it's the opposite concept.
memory wipe - consequences are fine, but I do need an upper limit of how often she can physically do it regardless of the consequences - even if it's a how many times she could do it before she forgets
how to exist. x'D and I don't rmeember now, is her loss of memory permanent for the kickback effect?
if you could repost your forms with your changes next time I would be v appreciative because I can probably approve memories by now! it's mostly forgetfulness we need to iron out
