Potential spoilers ahead if you haven't done the THM questline, as some examples I use are from it.
So, I've been sort of trying to formulate a plot. Please forgive me if I sort of fumble in explanation or anything, I've never really done it before, and I'm nervous.
I wanted to gather information first. Please also be advised that the RP I do sticks close to the lore, as much as I can (though willing to bend slightly, if it's able). I only say this disclaimer because I know some people go a little willy-nilly on stuff.
On to stuff!
My character is a bit obsessed with learning what he can. Combined with some recent events (broken heart, being accused of being weak, other smallish things), I thought it might be likely enough that he could go overboard with it. I think it would be very likely, given his personality and the like, that he would overobsess about proving himself... like. Not weak.
Normally, his primary skill is conjury. He's become a pretty decent healer and on top of this, is a hearer. However, some psychological issues from years past have resulted in him mistaking not-so-sane voices for the Elemental ones. This is besides the point, really, but it could be useful I thought.
My main question, I guess (I am sorry, I ramble), is like... What is the possibility of him going a little aether/magic crazy? I know that for the most part, it's not necessarily an easy thing to use conjury powers for evil (maybe..Water? Or..something. I guess he can drown someone with it), but I also know that if you do somehow do that, that the Elementals would foresake you and that you could no longer borrow from their life force.
This brings me to what I sort of remember about the THM questline. I do remember the youngest sibling at the Ossuary going a little nuts because he was accused constantly of being the weakling and being useless.Â
I wanted to know, what would be paths that my character could take to reach a similar point? He doesn't necessarily know anyone of the "evil sort" or anything, so I don't know that he could necessarily be tainted so easily, which is okay actually, because in my head I sort of think it's something he would have brought upon himself?
No, I don't want him tempered. Because if you become tempered, you are literally sentencing yourself to an early death. I know that is the only way to cure it- so that is out of the question.
I'm sorry for the kind of mess this post is. I know what I want, and at the same time, I'm wandering around in the dark as for a means of how to get there.
Edit: Afterthought too but if someone wouldn't mind explaining how and why aether poisoning happens, I'd appreciate it.
