April Activity Check

[magicademymods]

April Activity Check Welcome to the April activity check for Diatu Magicademy! A reminder of our rules: You must provide one log thread with at least 5 comments from your character. You must provide either an additional log thread with at least 5 comments from your character, or a network thread with at least 10 comments from your character. If you have some activity during the month, but not enough to pass AC, you may request a strike. To clear the strike, you must provide double activity the subsequent month. Activity is valid for posts made between the close of applications in April and the close of applications in May -- so this month, any activity made between April 3rd and 8 PM Eastern time, Wednesday, May 1st. Activity must be submitted by Saturday, May 4th at 8 PM Eastern time. Also, as a reminder, the results of your Actions will be posted as a response to your activity check. If you haven't chosen any, you have until AC closes to do so. New Rule: For rewards for playing out the consequences of Research on the Sundered threads, please link to them here. Please use the following form: <b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Log Thread:</b> <a href="LINK">5+ log comments</a> <b>Log/Network Thread:</b> <a href="LINK">5+ log or 10+ network comments</a> <b>Research on the Sundered:</b> <a href="LINK">(Optional Link)</a>

Cliff's efforts at Forging have resulted in:

An Item of Power: A Perfect Tool. The first item a serious Forger makes is a tool that will not slip, catch, miss, or otherwise fail to perform. Select one tool to gain these qualities; it is something Cliff has successfully made.

+1 to Familiar Bond.

Isabel's efforts at studying her Item of Power have resulted in the following upgrade:

The Musical Force Projector (Upgraded)

A bizarre item that blends or rather confuses Fantastics, Discovery, and Thaumaturgy, the Musical Force Projector is exactly as it sounds. This bracelet, when worn, can project force in various ways -- a line, a shield, a wall -- so long as its wearer is directing its magic through a song of some sort. If the wearer's voice falters, so too do the effects, but it stays strong for as long as its wielder can do the same. When used by Isabel, the bracelet can project force in response to any music nearby; she does not need to continuously sing if another source is available.

[magicademymods]

Lea's efforts at Forging have resulted in:

An Item of Power: A Perfect Tool. The first item a serious Forger makes is a tool that will not slip, catch, miss, or otherwise fail to perform. Select one tool to gain these qualities; it is something Cliff has successfully made.

Lea's efforts at this messy thing we call friendship have resulted in:

Blessing: Being There At Need. Lea may expend this blessing to have coincidentally stumbled on a significant person in his life just at the moment they need help or aid. (For example, this could allow Lea to enter an adventure that turned abruptly dangerous.)

[magicademymods]

Xion's efforts at dealing with bullies have resulted in:

Blessing: Escape Velocity. Xion may expend this blessing to somehow escape from any situation, no matter how hopeless. An implausible series of events will get her to freedom in some way, shape, or form.

+5 Fame.
+2 Wildcard+ renown.
A modest income.
Learning what an eagull is (it's half eagle, half seagull, and a plague on the island, much like pigeons would be to cities if they were loud and aggressive)


V's efforts at working on that spork have resulted in:

Mandatory Remedial Ethic classes, focusing primarily on how blowing up people is not a good idea.
+1 regard from Pikabu, whose approval should fill you with shame.

V's efforts at adapting his own magic have resulted in:

Regain: CURRICULUM BREACH. V regains access to and use of cantrips as per their functioning in canon.


Sho's efforts at figuring out that circle have resulted in:

3 pies appearing out of nowhere, fresh-baked and tasty.
A really cheap laugh for Headmaster Birony.

This month's Research on the Sundered reward is:

I have some AC for Lys (this post from april 18th, tagged through to april 25th) but as it would still fall short of AC reqs + I'd appreciate the boot-in-the-ass motivation of needing to make double AC in May, I would like to request a strike!

[noasark]

Oh!

I didn't realize I could do that the first month I was in- I'll go submit something now then, thank you!

[hotheadwarmheart]

Anyone working at a forge, magical or otherwise, needs a good hammer, so Lea's Perfect Tool will be a metalworking hammer.
