((Actually he died because he exploded, not the other way around.))

((yeah that too))

((shadow magic is death magic. If your dying you are an article of death so you produce energy for yourself as well as conduct energy towards you. The death magic didn't exploded from everyone because everyone is close to death, meaning the magic can jump to a new host. Whether or not the host realises this is kind of up to them. Seem about right?))

((...what?))

((1) Shadow Magic is not Death Magic, the Shadow Magic we use here is granted to the user by a pact with a Horrorterror (which technically makes all members of the nightnight crew warlocks)))

((2) There has never been anything with jumping to a new host, what are you talking about?))

((3) Even if we ignore the fact that in our RP, shadow magic has a special meaning, even classic shadow magic isn't death magic, death magic is Necromancy while shadow magic is Nethermancy))

((what oj said))

((And yeah, Scales, we TRY not to change around what happened in the PAST, IIRC we've done it... once, if Havoc's thing counts, (does it count? Nobody ever really responded, so I dunno if we're ignoring it or accepting it...) otherwise never, and we're doing a thing right now that requires that Shadow Magic = Horrorterror magic, so we can't exactly retcon that into being just so a cool death thing you made up can become plausible.))

((...))
((...))
((Why is everyone anti head canon.))
((I just want to have opinions that apply to the things I do.))
((Is that really to much to ask?))

((Wait, who am I kidding, I know exactly where this is going to go if I post that.))

What the reaction will be:

((I'll try a more civilized approach.))
((Can we just go along with my head cannon please?))
((Tell me how I should change it to make it not piss you all off.))
((If that so happens to be 'It to not exist' I am sorry but I am literally writing a Fantasy book with this principle in it.))
((I am quite fond of it and how it caused the general area of where Antarctica would be on the made-up planet be dominated by an unending storm.))
((Please respect my views))

(Honestly if the range of this "death inferno" is less than 4 meters or so, I see no problem with it. But thats my opinion.)

((*Tackle hugs Quantum for not bluntly refusing everything*))

((i guess it acceptable but seriously we are not telling you to not have your headcanon we are saying your headcanon has no place here, i mean even im writing a fantasy book under the headcanon that all fiction exists in parallel universes and there is a group of beings created of literal sentient elements that guard theb universes from the onslaught of the prodigal element chaos but you dont see me bringing in immortal shape changing gods among men to wipe this entire place off the face of the universe as collateral damage during their never ending war

shadow magic is not death magic here it is ink or horrorterror magic, magic does not jump from host to host here because that is not how magic works here

im not against the magic explosion thing in general but here the magic you have been using, ie what im assuming is jailbreak logic, needs to be read, which you cant do when you are ash, nor can you do if you are dying because that tends to make it difficult to read out magic spells

what your magic does in your fantasy book is your perogative but you need to stick to the constraints of this universe

sorry if its a bit rude but im trying to be civilised here too))

((Ok then.))

((What if Matchsticks PREVIOUSLY cast a spell that only takes effect when he dies? Then the rules of NN won't have to be changed, but you can still get your epic death scene thing.))

((That makes sense.))

((oh yeah never thought of it that way i guess thats ok))

((A spell that gets triggered by his death is indeed something I am completly in favour of))

((Spells like that aren't too uncommon in fiction, I see no reason why we shouldn't have something like that))

((Also, Scales, headcanons that don't affect others are fine but as soon as you affect others we obviously have to discuss it. Noone here has a problem with you having headcanons but the thing is, we already have some established rules and we'd need to change and retcon a lot of stuff for some of your headcanons.))

((tl;dr: Shadow Magic isn't Death Magic, Magic doesn't switch hosts and it is fine if you want to explode upon death))

((Ok! Yay!))
((And now, we return to the Regular RPing.))
*After a long, boring staring contest, Matchsticks blinks.*
MWAHAHAHA! YOU BLINKED! I MAY LEAVE!
~What?~
~No you can't.~
~You lost.~
WHAT?!?!?
~Wait, did you think we where having a staring contest?~
~Pfffffff.~
~Silly Horrorterror.~
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT MORTAL
~We were having a 'try not to stare' contest!~
NOW HOW DOES THAT WORK.
~Well, you try not to stare at the other persons complete and utter amazingness of course!~
~First person to stare loses.~
WHAT?
YOU CHEATED!
~How?~
WELL...
~Yeah, no.~
~Now tell me where the flare is.~
FINE.
THERE IS A TEMPLE SOMEWHERE IN THE MOUNTAINS OUTSIDE OF YOUR PETTY CITY.
AT THE FINAL PART OF ITS PERILOUS TUNNELS IS THE FLARE.
NOW SET ME FREE.
~Ok.~
*Matchsticks flicks some pages, says a monotone incantation, and The Horrorterror leaves.*
~Welp, that worked.~

Doc can't help but think that Purple Capslock Voice ((or is it blue? colorblindness FTL)) can't possibly be that stupid, but whatever.

So all he has to do is navigate his way out of the city, into the mountains, and through ((the Water Temple)) some temple in said mountains, while blind, and he can get his powers back?

So who's with him?

((Is anyone else even here? I forget.))

((nope it was just me and gluttony and i left taking him with me))

((Okay, glad to clear that up.))

relevant picture:

Doc's not entirely sure that their combined forces, which is mostly just 11's forces, are going to be enough to take on this temple alone. Perhaps you and he should check for other allies first? He wonders if maybe he has a favor or two he could call in.

Also, if there's a broom or something that would work similarly, Doc would prefer it in case of combat. He thinks he misplaced his.

~Got 11t.~
*Matchsticks walks over to the, you guessed it, broom cupboard and get out, you guessed it again, a broom. He promptly decides that the broom can double as a lantern, and flips to a insription page in the Pyronomicon. After a bit of drawing with his candle and a quick incantation, the broom's brush glows a steady orange light. Matchsticks gives the broom to Doc.*
~There.~
~Where to?~

((So your quirk is replacing I with 11? A bit odd, I think replacing both I and L would be a better idea.))

Doc beckons Matchsticks to follow him. Maybe there's someone in the center of town? That seems to be a popular hangout.
