Attention!! Mages of Cormyr and the Realms!

[EDM Entori]

ATTENTION MAGES!!

Dear Mages of the Realms,
it is my wish that within a few weeks that a gathering be held, to share knowledge and discuss topics of concern in the realms, and Comryr. I know many of you as dear friends and others as respected rivals and or acquaintances. Here is a chance to get together and talk and learn. ALL wizards bards and Sorcerers are welcome, and anyone who has questions or concerns about magic in general.

-Social mingling
Topis to be covered,
-address from the mystrian church
-address from the crown
so far..

I am looking for volenteers,
on the topics of Alchemy, Each school of magic to speak on the pros and cons, as well as the power of sorcerers and bards.

I want this to be a discussion rather than a lecture, and I would like attended to be peaceful and involved. This is a gathering of minds.

Other topics and events to come. Please volenteer any topics you or another would like to hear or speak.

Thank you all!

Entori Be'te'wa
Apprentice warwizard

p.s. Date time and place to be determined when specific topics to covered a decent period of time has been established.

//reply I need IDEAS GAH!

[ShadowCatJen]

//er, what kind of ideas do you need?

[moulinous]

//a magefair...there was one listed in the book called arcane of the realms if i remember correctly....which i probally dont,lol. Anyhow, they had fireball throwing contest, polymorph contest....ummmm, all kinds of little games. If a dm helps you could have some of the same, like damage vs a combat dummy challenges....counterspelling vs one another, heck, i know a dwarf that would even offer up some prizes if you ask him real real real nice....lol...you could even do recites games and have them do int checks vs each other to see who can remember the best. Polymorph into something and see who is the ugliest...illusions to who can do the best illusion....mage from the farthest away...maybe even some entriprising dm can have some crazed elminster or what not attend...i do know that at magefairs everyone is said to be neutral so even Manshoon and Elminster could chill andd talk craft.

Haylin walks by and spots the message, taking a few moments to read it over. He maintains his usual demeanor of reserve as he does so.
Hmmm. Intriguing, he thinks to himself There is a potential for profit here as well as learning. If this fair is opened to the general public, mages could be invited to sell their wares. Not only could alchemy be taught and instructed, but the products of the lessons could then be sold and made into a profit. A secure facility could be set aside for conjuration demonstrations, and the general populace could be charged a small cover to view fantastic creatures from other realms of existence. Interesting possibilities indeed.

// hmm well I was thinking this was to be like a gather of mages to talk about.. you know the evils of necromancy or the uses of illusion. a talk on the planes, or prehaps what little they know of the shadow weave. kind of like debates and discussions with some social mingling and scribing scrolls etc. hmm magical history and things of interest. like why Isinhold is attacked by magical creatures so much.. eh?


thats the type of thing I was looking for... A seminar on magic, where anyone can come and learn, and ask questions. while some serious topics are looked at too

[EDM Entori]

// looking for volenteers to speak, on a topic of their choice, or rather just open the topic for discusson.

// or prehaps what little they know of the shadow weave.

i would really think a dm needs to put a rule out on this before someone trys this in game....

[Dachshund]

One would not discuss "what little they know of the Shadow Weave" at a mage's fair. One might discuss the origins of some spells, but certainly not the origins of a "Secondary Weave".

Anyone doing so would be the topic of ridicule by his peers.

Here is the link to the discussion about the Shadow Weave.

Hope that clears things up for ya!

That being said, I think a mage's fair is a wonderful idea.

[Masterbard Alyster Darkharp]

In the short story Guldie mentioned I believe that Elminster spanked some mages in a fireball throwing contest. So theres an idea...a fireball throwing contest!

[gathera]

One hundred lions on Fisten heh.

// hey guys I've not had alot of time in the planning of this.. good weather hit and I've generally been flying from 1am to 6:30 ish at night with the planning and everything.. I should start working details and hope a dm will volenteer to help oversee things with me. I think the magic fair sounds more like a good idea. fireworks contests. and scholarly discussion in the middle. area in mind seems to be the mystrian grove.


time is hard to predict as my schedule goes on weather. so maybe once I get things worked out.. someone who can be more perminent can.. get it going..

more ideas.. I like the firebal contest and the counter spell one. input needed!!

thanks
don

*Picks up word of the Magefair from loose talk*

Hmm...Indeed. I would be very much inclined to help Entori organize this fair. I have been traveling as far as Sembia for research and knowledge of gem imbuement and have only heard broken lore and conjecture. This would be a very good opportunity to pick the mind of mages that may have discovered secrets of such ability. As for arcain displays of skill and capacities...I will take that vow of monetary support for a Fireball Casting Competition. *winks at Gathera*
Mystra's Grove is an excellent location for it offers many comforts with in a tranquil environment. The facilities within the Temple offer aid to study and practice as well as relaxation. Those that are followers of The Goddess of Mysteries will have much to cherish in this "Symposium of Magic" as well as entertain the crowd with magical feats of wonder.
