That's just my thoughts on each; with their own views. Everyone's summed it up their own way. I do agree with Vivid's view of Soul Magic in part; long-distance spells could use this 'Soul Magic' to single out a person's essence and target them, turning a normally one-way fire wave into a heat seeking oh-god-why missle. Much inceneration, much rage would happen thereafter. Unless, of course, they have an anti-fire shield. Which then comes down to legitimacy of ownership-...

BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT!

Soul Magic is, with a few other things in w42, one of the outright most misused tactics in all of rsrp. In the case of one such person, whose name I won't mention... Tearing a soul from a living body, absorbing spells, spiritualizing himself... All of that kind of makes me want to slap him upside the head like a gibbs and denozo moment in NCIS, and tell him to use it correctly or not at all.

It's a very hardcore magic, to say the least. Only people who understand what the hell they're getting into OOC and IC having suicidal characters who want to practice a magic that'll likely tear their life force asunder if they're not careful for thrills, should go into the usage of it.

Outside of Soul Magic, yeah. A lot of those are good for something, and fun to use. What Vivid mentioned with Chaos magic... I did something along those lines once. A man was preparing to roflport out of the bar... So I used the disruptive force within Chaos Runes to formulate a creative and intuitive spell to disrupt the teleportation matrix in the vicinity... The guy raged, but most of those around me accepted that he had come out of the teleport as a jumbled mass of inside-out body parts and guts. Poor guy, he shouldn't have picked that fight. All of those magical types you mentioned are lots of fun if you know what you're doing with them.

As I like to say, Magic in rsrp is limited to a mage's ability and the creativity of the Roleplayer behind it. there are, VERY few things you cannot do, make a valid explanation for... Or at least use a similar idea, in rsrp, with magic. There are limits... But did you think that a simple fire spell was just the launching of a huge blob of fire at your opponent? Ever tried raising the temperature level by exciting the molecules in the air through fire magic?
