Class: Lix Licker (or Magaholic) Discussion Thread

[LoA]

[ic]Hah! Prohibition must be the most ironic thing in the universe. You people were so bent on keeping magic out of this country. The very same people who hated magic, also made booze illegal, and in so doing let magic right into the american mainstream. Talk about a "greek tragedy"...[/ic]

The Lix Licker (or Mageaholic)

After the Prohibition act was passed in 1920, a large supply was demanded, and when there's a niche somethings gotta fill it. Enter Koor Spec, an ambitious Kobold Magician and business man, who remembered his lessons about magic potions. He recalled a special formula that could emulate the effects of being drunk, but without the liquor. Technically he could sell this and it wouldn't be illegal to do it. He began cooking up batches of the stuff. It wasn't a particular hit with older people, but it did become a huge success with the youth. Koor began selling barrels of the stuff.

Then came tonics... One day in 1923 a young human was experimenting with magic potions. He sipped a drink of his potion which was supposed to make lightning come out of his hands. It didn't work. However he then sipped a little "Koor Lixer" and botta-bing-botta-boom, out came lightning from his fingertips! Or at least that's how the story goes. No one can quite pin down where tonics came from exactly but the simple fact was they became huge. Couple your Lixour with a few sips of "Blazing Fingers" tonic, and you can shoot fireballs from your hands, or a swig of "Icy Touch" to shoot cones of cold. A variety of tonics came into being, and a new generation of magicians we're born in america.

However Lixour isn't without side-effects... Sure the prospect of shooting fire out your fingers is incredible, there's still the issue that Lixour is meant to simulate the effects of alcoholic beverages thus leading to the fact that if a Lix Licker isn't careful they could potentially set an entire building on fire in a drunken fit. And while Lixour doesn't necessarily destroy the liver like alcohol does, large quantities can have consequences on the body overtime.

[ooc]This is what I have in terms of fluff for this class. This class is basically Splicing from bioshock meets the Drunken Master, and I don't know how to express it in terms of mechanics[/ooc]
