Hello, mods! I have a quick question about some unique powers the character I'm thinking about apping has, and I want to see how you guys would suggest handling it before I write my app.
Milla here is capable of casting elemental magic, but the unique part about it is that the casting process involves channeling elemental spirits, which are native creatures in her world closely linked to nature. In a world without these spirits it would follow logically that she wouldn't be able to cast her magic because there would be no spirits to channel, but I'd like to keep her spirit artes if at all possible! So my idea was the following. . .
Milla's also capable of summoning the Four Great Spirits, who are spirits of considerable power compared to the lesser spirits used for every day mundane spirit channeling. While the Four Great Spirits (Efreet, Undine, Sylph and Gnome, respectively) show their own personalities and sentience in the game, I don't believe them to be appable characters because we see so little of them. And when they're around Milla and not being actively summoned into the physical realm, they tend to stay invisible/disappear to wherever it is they go when they're not being used. Thus, I was hoping Milla would be able to maintain her ability to summon them while in Iniidae. With them being present in the game, I was thinking she'd be able to draw on those four spirits to channel her elemental spirit artes so she'd still be capable of casting magic (as I'd super love to play with that ability of hers)!
HOWEVER, I wasn't sure if the Four arriving with her would count as "pet" characters or not. They all vary in size, but the largest one (Efreet) is no bigger than a slightly above average sized beefy human male, I don't think. If they did count as pets, then I'd be super willing to treat them as Pokemon (she arrives with one, but has to find the other three throughout the course of the game).
SO BASICALLY, I'd like to keep Milla's ability to summon the Four so she can continue to use her magic throughout the game, but I wasn't sure if the Four would count as "pets" or not, so I'm asking for clarification and whether the above solution would be okay with you guys before I start writing my app.
