September Event Details

For once, the streets are peaceful. There are no incentives being given out for magi-versus-magi conflict, no disasters threatening to destroy the town... It would be a shame if something happened to disturb that peace. The Birth of a Witch Early one morning, something dreadful suddenly comes into being. It doesn't seem to be actively luring victims to their deaths (yet), but it nonetheless is not something that any magi would want to unwittingly come face-to-face with unprepared. For those who do accidentally wander into its territory, the ramifications may be huge. Turning Back the Clock As characters come into contact with new people and new situations, they find themselves shaped by their new experiences. Some grow, and some learn valuable new lessons. Perhaps a cruel villain becomes reformed. Perhaps a selfish, thoughtless opportunist learns to be more considerate of others. Wouldn't it be a shame if all of that were undone? For characters who are afflicted by the Witch's spell, the clock of their character development has been rewound to an earlier point. Physically, they are unchanged; mentally, their memories are untouched. Yet they have been undeniably changed. In Stasis Naturally, as their memories have not been erased in accordance with their new development point, other characters may endeavor to remind them of important development-defining moments in their lives in an attempt to get them to snap out of it. However, while that is the logical thing to attempt, it is not a wise thing to attempt; afflicted characters will respond to any attempts to get them to undergo character development with hostility and violence. The very act of attempting to process the disparity between their life experiences and their behavior will cause them physical pain, as well, meaning that they will be incredibly opposed to thinking deeply about it. Breaking the Spell THIS PORTION OF THE EVENT IS TIME-SENSITIVE. IT WILL GO UP ON THE 22ND AT 12:00 PM EST AND WILL END, AT THE EARLIEST, ON THE 25TH AT 11:59 PM EST.

Just a little detail question. If a character is used to thinking of themselves with a certain name or title and their mindset is taken back to before they used that name or title, will the regression include an inclination to use their previous name/title?

[soulmods]

It will indeed.
