I'm in the latter category, but that's because I prefer down-to-earth, straightforward, and realistic RP. Especially that FFXIV is arguably a more realistic brand of fantasy, being surrounded by unique hero types all the time would take away what attracts me to the universe.ÂNope! She's isn't a Blue Mage at all. Just a special Scimitar that holds Aether in crystals. Nothing more nothing less. I've never once referred to her as a Blue Mage either as that's a pitfall no one wants to fall into RP wise.
Anyway, are you going to actually say your character is a Blue Mage? For some reason I feel that Blue Mage will either be Sharlayan or Ul'dah in origin, when it releases.
I made doubly certain to reference this  multiple times throughout this thread for the same reasons you listed.
Lore wise? Crystals and gems exist that hold all manner of Aether types, hell the even use them to summon primals.
I don't think its too far a stretch to have a blade that steals the essences of a dying monster and traps it for further use... that said, I always make sure to explain to anyone I RP with about the blade itself, if they don't like the concept or they feel it violates their way of RP then they have the option to bow out and / or request I limit the use as much as possible.
I've no problem with either request truth be told!
Erik, I love you. I love Soul Eater and love you doubly for the Soul Eater goodness.
Blair is love.
That is all. ♥,..,♥
