Triad Creation Tourney - Jaunt Info

The Triad Creation Tourney
March 12-April 21

Her Majesty’s Royal Academy of the Arts, the foremost magical arts academy of Great Britain, is hosting the triannual Triad Creation Tourney, in which they and two other magical schools--the United States’ Lone Star Academy and Japan’s Teikoku Majutsu-shi no Gakuen--compete to create the ultimate magical artistic creation. This year, however, things are far from going as planned. With rumors of cheating rampant and a would-be evil overlord having snuck into the school, the Travelers will have their work cut out for them getting this Triad Creation Tourney to its end!

This setting is originally Blue's brainchild, with bii and Airdra later contributing to it. Any of the three of them can answer questions. bii and Jill are also here for Mod-side questions.

Edited 2018-03-04 21:42 (UTC)

Is there an Indian (as in the subcontinent) school of note somewhere in the worldbuilding, or can I make one up? (would it be kosher for a teacher from there to be visiting Majesty's for a while as like a teacher exchange?)

How common is it for someone to have both a performance art (say, dance) and a perpetual one (say tattoos) in their repertoire?

Speaking of tattoos: do henna tattoos count as perpetual (if a rather short lived) along with other kinds? Also what kind of things would tattoos specifically do? (I'm thinking of keeping it, but also don't want to step on the toes of Claudia's plot role skill from Bando)

Do things like body piercings, makeup, nail art and hair cut/dye/styling potentially count as magic? (I'm fairly sure some of them do but always good to get confirmation before going wild with a thing)

I have a technical rules question so I guess bii or Jill.

1) Would Artistic Proficiency or Artistic Mastery be a prerequisite for the Creativity Magic skills?

2) If so, would Musical Proficiency or Musical Mastery (from Showtime) also work as a substitute prereq?

If a Perpetual Magic creation (random example: a flying broom) was to become old and start functioning poorly from general use, would it be possible to fix the item and restore it to normal use? (E.g., changing out the bristles on the broom for fresh ones)

So, uniforms for the schools! What are they like?

What is 'respectable magic worker' clothing like: are wizard robes a thing at all, especially considering that magic's a well known part of everyday life in this world?

I see a reference to Dark Magician, is 'magician' the common term for Person What Does Making Spells or is that a one off?

Part One: Uniforms!

Do magical artworks take any longer to make than standard ones?

Are Bags of Holding a legit thing that a Perpetual mage could create; if so, how would they compare to Hammerspace? (Would it be like the S.Tech situation, where that version of Hammerspace can only be used as a prerequisite for More Hammerspace?)

This isn't really specific to this jaunt, but I guess this place is as good as any to ask:

Laughs is going to try and ferry small animals from the jaunt into his created room (which is a central European wilderness, at least a big part of it, either by stuffing them into hammerspace or by putting them in a box and carrying them over. He's mostly thinking about birds, fish and small mammalian prey, perhaps some insects. The idea is to build a functioning ecological system (with the top of the food chain being wolves that obviously don't need to be introduced).

Would bringing those animals over into his room be possible? (He'd probably ask people for help)

Is there much in the way of information on the Dark Magician in the library on online or anything?

Also would the library happen to have a decent sized section on the known history of magic in this world, or is it mostly just assumed knowledge that would be a bit trickier for an outsider to research?

I wanted to confirm if these assumptions are correct about ~computer art~.

1. Magic created through fancy computer graphics remain on as long as the piece of art is open on the computer.
2. ie. if the computer/program crashes or someone shuts it down otherwise, the spell will end.
3. Destroying the computer will also obviously destroy the magic.

Bakura is going to be going around asking ~~all the NPCS~~ local-type people what the Dark Magician was after and what he did when he was pretending to be the PM. What sort of responses would he get? (He's playing up the career Mysterious Transfer Student thing because yeah, he's a Majesty's student but he's pretty clearly not local and he just found out this was even a Thing thanks to the news~)

There is the constant howling of wolf and dog in the background, though neither beast is there to be seen.

...so for those of us who can understand howling. Does the howling say anything, or is it just garble?

Laughs is trying to use an ability that allows him to find a prey he knows anywhere on Takuya.

Would it be okay to assume that by the time he tries, Takuya has left the jaunt boundaries, and that that fucks up his reading? (If not, I'll just assume that Takuya is doing something to hide himself that fucks it up, or that the general background magic of the school fudges it, or something.)
