Scimitars aren't thing in FFXIV currently, so you'd have to explain it. The use of crystals in order to make it work, where did you learn that? You said your clan, well how did your clan learn of this technique? You're building lore automatically. Arabic isn't an Eorzean language, where did that come from? Before you know it you have an entire lore base around a class that you aren't sure will be what you envisioned.
I like the fact you're willing to drop it in order to learn Blue Mage once it comes out. Depending on lore, you can always say your clan learned a bastardized version of Blue Mage and when it actually is released into the game you decide to learn the "correct" one. But that would really only work depending on lore.
I do agree with Liadan, I wouldn't go running your mouth about it ICly, only telling a select few, because it can easily spiral into your character suddenly being a trainer for all these Blue Mages or becoming the inventor of Blue Mage or something. There should probably be a reason to keep it quiet anyway - be it Garleans or whatever.
Couldn't agree more with this post. I tread a very fine line that's for certain. Lore specific to my charatcer is exactly that, it only effects my character and it adds a much need sprinkle of different to those around me (How many people do you see speaking in different languages anymore?).
The sword itself is infact a very old one and it is infact from her Clan from a very long time ago when they were less secretive. Its another tool used for killing just like her martial assassination arts.
I'm not going to be an inventor of anything, the sword is EVERYTHING. If someone takes that sword? THEY can use its power providing they attune those crystals will skills from scratch (Different for every user).
Does this make any sort of sense or am I babbling >.<
[EDIT] - Scimitar's do exsist in FF14... they're just not called Scimitar's. For example, Aldis' sword, The sword of Nald IS a Scimitar.
