I've just started working on this IC as Suhnaye, right now I'm just writing a book and whatnot, but I've had a few thoughts while writing it that I'd like to bring up and air out for everyone to consider.

The first thought I had, which started all of this, was that a Demesne doesn't have any positive effects on the Druids or mages allies or him/herself, aside from very slight passive advantages... This didn't seem to make sense to me, seeing as how a Demesne is linked to Elemental or Living forces, I would imagine a forest Demesne would be capable of cureing certain afflictions at times, considering all it would have to do is call on the natural energies which allow the herbs that cure them to be used... Also, it seems like the Demesne would be able to heal its melded mage or druid at intervals similar to the way the effects work, and to a lesser degree, it would be able to heal anyone whom the druid had determined to be an ally.

Second idea was that a Demesne is a connection between the mage/druid and the forces they bring out to meld with. That connection got me thinking, and I realized that from an IC point of view, it should be possible for two like Demesne, lets say two Seren Druidic Demesne for example, to form an ethereal link with one another, if they were linked via at least one place where they had adjacent melds... This would serve a few purposes. The first purpose is it would make it much more difficult to break multiple linked Demesne'. This being because the two could complete a full circuit, but in order to break either one, a person would have to figure out where the two were connected, so as to break the connection first. The second purpose is it would allow Druids and Mages the ability to form a link through their Demesne' similar to a Coven for Moon and Night users. Allowing multiple Demesne' to use more powerfull effects than if they were standing alone.

I've had a few other thoughts, but for now, those two are the only ones I'm curious about peoples reaction to. It would serve to make Demesne's more usefull in non-combat areas, as well as making it possible for several Druids or Mages working togeather to create very large inter-linked Demesne'. It would also force druids to become much more used to working togeather, rather than working alone.

Feel free to comment as you will. I know these ideas are rather powerfull. But I just like the prospect of the ideas from an IC point of view. They make sense...

To adress your first idea--Aquamancer demesnes already cure afflictions and heal them. That's what makes their demesne unique.

I like those ideas...Interlinked demesnes would be nice, and could they give an aetherwave to talkon, something like DT (demesne tell)

(demesne) Padrian says " Blah, I'm an Aquamancer! "

Interlinked demesne skills and effects would be neat, so if you had a "cross" shaped demesne patter, with four demesne's linked in the middle, the Demesne would be stronger in the middle, maybe with extra attacks.

Would be neat. But overpowered. Maybe. Possibly.

Definately overpowered. No linking of demesnes. No.

This part is pretty much just the way it works now, just without the official link. You'd still have to find where they meet in order to break either.

I agree demenes were limited in size for a reason.

I agree that it'd be overpowered. But, it would still be neat.

Maybe not overpowered, seeing as how they could just avoid that area...

Yes, because that works for a village revolt or a raid. Just avoid the area.
