That said, I am going to attempt to not be incredibly lazy/timid and try getting something done. So with that, I have 3 questions.
1. It it plausible for Taejin to realistically utilize Arcanima?
As far as I know, all info and lore around arcanima only specify that personal either is fueling the process, bar Aetherflow and Energy Drain. It doesn't specify any specific element (eg;fire, ice for thaumaturgy). I envisioned Tae only having superb mastery of his frankly extreme lightning aspect, and his wind aspect less so. The other BLM elements spaz out randomly (Fire 1 can flicker or flare up disastrously) and the other WHM ones... really aren't there (imagine solo healing Midas Savage in cleric stance and a weathered cane). With those limits, would he believably still be able to be an arcanist?
2. Following 1, Voidsent stuff!
I'm sorry, but the wind-up succubus is hands down my favorite minion. I've seen the thread about minion RP and realize opinion is mixed on this, but I had this crazy idea that somehow, he and his party (ideally other PCs, but I'm not on an RP server yet to pursue this {yay, GC platoons!}) managed to seal away a succubus and is now forced to accompany him on his travels. I know Mormo(?) from the THM story was sealed in a jar. Is there precedent and/or evidence allowing one to transfer said entity to another vessel? Or even sealing it AT ALL through arcanima?
3. ...anyone have a good name for a succubus?
Alright, only half serious. I legitimately cannot think of one though. Besides Morrigan, Lilith (won't use those cause the Aenslands are too boss for this) and Shamsiel (for anyone who catches this one, I'm sorry).
I am SO sorry for the wall of text, didn't think it would be this long. Would still appreciate the opinion of more, ah, "storied" members of the Coalition.
1. Magic schools aren't really bound to any specific aspects. What determines a magickal school is how the spells are cast, and not what is cast. I don't know much about your character, but if he can utilize aether and can understand math and geometry, then he can use arcanima.Â
2. As you said yourself, yes, Voidsent can be pushed into other vessels. The void mages of Mhach used techniques to bind Voidsent to their wills, but those arts have been lost for a long time. Think about that when you decide if your character should be able to do such a thing. It's also worth noting, if you want to use that succubus minion as your friend, that succubi typically inhabit corpses. They also tend to take on personality traits of the corpse they've stolen.
3. Based on what we've seen from the Mhach quests, Voidsent like to use Celtic names.
2. Hmm... Might have to rethink this or scrap it entirely. Thinking about it, it wouldn't really be in character considering I'm not too magic-oriented. Though, the opportunities (and consequences) of toting around a voidsent does sound sound really interesting, to me at least. Also, not necessarily as a friend, just bound in a clockwork servitor. Hmmm... actually, I totally forgot about the descriptions of the other wind ups, like the Puff or Echidna. This could still work.
3. Gah, time for research.
