Blue Magic is simply a form of arcane casting that allows a character to learn anothers spells. I'm not sure if this already exists in D&D rihgt now but I think it is a good idea to incorporate. it can be a skill or a class. as a Skill you get to roll a Blue Magic check to see if you can learn the spell that is being cast and DC check can be 10+caster level+spell level. Blue Mages can be a PPC and thier special abilities allow them to learn a spell a day per level, e.g. can learn one level zero spell, one level one spell a day, one level two spell a day etc.. so if guys can come up with some ideas for Blue Magic I'd like to hear them and especially if Blue Magic already exists.

Hmmmm... Consider it done. Wait in classes for the newest attraction; The Blue Mage! This does not exist in Dungeons and Dragons to my knowledges, and that is quite broad.

so it is going to be a class and not a skill. works for me either way. I like the aspect and angle of copying other people's spells, it is a diverse world within itself,but I think it's going to take a while before it's functional

Not soo much, This is quite simple. I do not need to create anything in theory. Look at the dragoons "Mimic" ability. The blue mage will be given a similar ability which will enhance over it's progression. This will allow that blue mage to learn a cretain spell or ability for 24hours. There will be a maximum allotment of spells and abilities which expands as the blue mage progresses. There will be meta-bluemage feats that will allow them to retain an ability, hold it for a longer time, or even other possibilites.

ok but can there be a skill that allows you to copy and keep the spell that was used? I would like to know

permenantly? I doubt it, because that may limit the blue mage. Like I said, it will be done, but currently I am very busy. I have actually alot of half-posted posts and topics already and I am hoping my weeks end to have it all up to date (even the -mancers).

Ah, I have a strike of ingenious! (that made no sense o.o;;) I will work it much like the chakra binds in the Uncarnum book.

well i like the blue mage idea...but heres MY idea

you keep the spell for 24 hours, the next MORNING you decide wether to keep the spell or to toss it and get a new one...or you can work it like Incarnum's totemist...every morning you choose which spells you want till the end of the day.

Yeah but that would just make it like any other normmal sorcerrer or druid to have a spell list...and to change every day I think he wants it to be different....
Words are a waste of time. Destruction is a language everyone understands.

how about this a Blue Mage has to be appealing to people so it can be chosen as a PPC. idea at a higher level a Blue Mage can master and keep the spell copyed if he/she writes it down in their spellbook and only one spell a day can do this.
