learning magic

[adrien]

I heard it was possible for a basic Pc like an old elf no magick subclass can learn basic magic skills


Is this true?

[elvenchipmunk]

I think I was just reading over some helpfile or an old thread or whatever, something like that. And I actually saw written something along the lines of: PC's without a magick-based guild cannot learn magick.

So, unless that helpfile or thread was proved wrong at a later date, I'd say the answer is no.

Go ahead and try it. That would probally make you a sorcerer.

But you can't become an elementalist, as that is an inate ability.

edit: elvenchipmunk is also right.

You can try to find out IC.

[Cenghiz]

We do know that sorcerers of all type have no innate energy to achieve magick. They had learned it in a way. How? Too IC. How long would it take for a char to learn? Too IC. Would it ever be allowed? Bah.. I guess even that is too IC.

_Anything_ is possible.
You may find that it is quite possible to have a warrior become a magicker within the game.

I once had a water cleric that prayed to Muk (years and years ago - this is the character of mine that I'm proud to say that Hal allowed to nearly starve to death...but that's a long story!) and he lost his magick and became a warrior.

So it is _quite_ possible.  Just plan it out, send a mail to the mud and whichever Imm so they know what's going on and then change your objective.

Oh - and then RP trying to find the change.

Dunno who locked this, but yes, anything is -possible-.  This one in particular is -unlikely- at best.
