Mamakan Blades, Alchemical Weapons and Martial Arts
Great article, but I am a tad confused; is The Mamekan “Semi-Divine” or just human, or a demi-god in human form. Is he a Jmorvi artificer, or does he just make masterwork swords?
I see it as his ancestor was raised to a demigod status on his after is death. The Agrikians believe his blood line is divine and that’s how I am playing it out. I game terms I see him as being similar to a multiclass Divine Soul Sorcerer/Wizard, naturally able to work magic however he has many traditional wizard spells kept in the family for a 1000+ years as well. These secrets (which probably have a Dwarven origin) have much in common with the Jmorvi and they would love to study his techniques. Yes the swords are magical and I have an article covering that ready to go but I want to see how things play out next week before I make it public.
I cannot wait to see what you come up with next!
