Magisteria Gift Log
OOC Notes: This post can be used by PCs to keep track of their inventory for Magisteria. This includes both the gifts that each character received on arrival, as well as other rewards, prizes, or bling collected throughout one's time in the game. For the arrival gifts, those will develop as characters continue their journeys in Magisteria. Please reply below with the following information:Your character's current gift:
What was your character's activity in Magisteria [since the last gift upgrade*]?
[Quests, event participation, completing Synthesis challenges, player plot stuff, etc. -- the more the better as far as gift upgrades.]
What kind of modifications would you like to see and/or what complementary gift would you like?* **
[ * because a gift growing can sometimes take the form of complementary offerings or something(s) to go with the OG gift.
** you can also say "Surprise me!" -- and, for that matter, it should be noted that PCs may get something that is mod's particular flair or spin on whatever upgrades they ask for. mod reserves the right to potentially put spins on requests, but will try to ensure that the results are satisfactory for everyone]
no subject
What was your character's activity in Magisteria in May?
- Mostly him reconnecting with Azem and Rhea'li
- He participated in Sparkle's fairground game and may have pissed her off a little
- He also tried to reach out to a few other Outworlders
- Filled out that job survey etc. to see if he could get some kind of job related to the sea of souls.

A pen to go with his journal--
(Honestly just surprise me.)
🎁 I had actually been thinking about a pen before I saw the request haha
Emet-Selch also has a good bit of activity! One always appreciates his desire to ask questions and investigate.
Emet-Selch will indeed receive a pen for his journal, but not just any pen! This is an elegant fountain pen inscribed with runic symbols which writes with gleaming, Bios-infused ink. The pen can write in multiple colors and it can even produce text which changes color, either automatically or by moving the writing material beneath the light. But that's not all! The pen can also transform into a gleaming sword. The blade form is named Aelia Lucent, and it can channel elements and be used to harmonize Emet's native powers (the five elements of FFXIV lore or what not) with the Magisterian magic, basically giving him the potential to meld, explore, and generate new kinds of magic. When the sword is powered with water or ice, it can turn blue, when powered by fire, it turns red, and Emet can experiment with integrating the blade with various other forms of magic, too.
[Also, the old question of "which is mightier..." because the pen form's magical power can also potentially grow, though for now, it's just a writing instrument with beautiful and enchanted ink!]
For participation in the TDM and general activity, Emet-Selch receives an additional gift, or series of gifts:
Three orbs which look suspiciously like materia. One features a Sea Bear, one a janky jelly, and one a Woofaloomp, with a note which says, "Friend of the Wildlife..." The Sea Bear and janky jelly "materia" even has the artistic rendering of the animals in enchanted water that ripples with shadows. The baubles can light up and emit sounds, such as the Woofaloomps' chittering or the Sea Bears making low growling sounds. Finally, each is on a base with a small button at bottom which, when pressed, can create magical captions for the animalspeak, though Emet might want to turn them off unless he wants to see things like << !! FISSHH!!! >> on the regular.
The "materia"-esque orbs, for now, are more or less decorative or just spiritual insignia of the beasts, but there is a magical resonance which suggests they too could come to grow in power and continue to evolve!
