No documentation of this ability exists outside the Mesmer community because the targets of this kind of spell don’t realize they’ve been duped. If people were to find out that mesmers could do this, it would prejudice people against mesmers and damage the trust and love mesmers work so hard to inspire in others. Only the most skilled of mesmers can do this, and mesmers don’t talk about this ability. Casting an illusion that can only be seen by one person is an extremely advanced skill as it requires getting directly into an individual’s mind. ![]() Įsprits d’Orr : Are the illusions created by mesmers visible to anybody or only to the caster and the spell target ?Īngel McCoy : This depends. Here is the link if anyone wants to read it in general. I found some lore on Mesmers casting illusionary spells, from Angel McCoy in an interview she did. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find the source of that story in the last two years, so I’m working from memory, and it could have been retconned (as, I think, the time of Palawa’s conquest has). So the monks taught the paragons more advanced preservation magic, the paragons taught the monks shout-based magic and the use of weapons and armour, a few other traditions were incorporated, and the guardian was born. There was an interview where they went into a little more detail: from what I recall, battle monks wanted to become more militant in order to be better able to defend themselves, while paragons were arriving as refugees from Elona without having all the masters of the discipline that would allow them to maintain paragonhood as an independent tradition. (Interestingly, the Priestesses of Dwayna ingame seem to be elementalists when you manage to get one into a fight – they throw lightning balls.) Guardians share the link between their powers and faith, but again, it doesn’t matter what the guardian has faith in: gods, the legions, the Eternal Alchemy, it’s all good. Which is why priest-types of any religion in GW1 could be monks, not just the priests of the Six. From a monk’s perspective, they learn the proper prayers and meditations, and with faith in the gods they can wield the magic – given that perspective, it’s easy to draw the link to the power coming from the gods, when it’s actually coming more directly from the faith of the monks in the gods. I think monk magic has been Preservation magic all along – however, human monks associate it with coming from the gods because preservation magic is powered by faith, and the gods were what most humans had faith in. So I wouldn’t be so sure it’s actually similar and that the Inquest ‘messed up.’ She convinced the inquest that the dragon energy was chaos energy and tricked the Thaumanova lead into using said dragon energy instead of chaos energy. While players likely have lined up profession to school properly, the only confirmed case is elementalists with destruction.Īnd about the dragon energy/chaos energy similarity bit – there’s hidden dialogue in high level fractals if you save the two generic named Inquest Operatives whch indicates that Scarlet’s a liar in her little monologue. However mesmers have now grown into having Denial of reality (chaos magic) Īnd then now I guess with heart of thorns, Denial of Time (chronomancy.) MESMER MIND MAGIC FREESpecifically, Denial of free will (domination) Denial of repression (inspiration) and denial of perception (illusions) Mesmers belong to the school of Denial magic. It’s likely the practice goes back quite a bit farther than that. (556 years ago), but she’s remembered as the greatest Canthan mesmer, not the oldest or the first. The earliest actual mesmer that I am aware of is Kitah in Cantha, c.772 A.E. Lyssa, as the goddess of illusions, was considered the patron of mesmers by the humans, and it’s possible but unproven that she taught the first human illusionists the art. (1329 years ago) they forced most available magic into four ‘schools’, one of which, Denial, is believed to have eventually been the basis of the current mesmer profession. When the gods tampered with the bloodstone in 1 B.E. ![]() The goddess disguises her form, but there’s no mention of the term ‘mesmer’. (1373 years before the current date), are the oldest recorded use of illusions that players know of. What we do know: the Scriptures of Lyssa, dated 45 B.E. Most of the professions stretch back in some form far beyond GW1, and theoretically they even could have existed before the bloodstone was created, back before practically any surviving records. There’s not much in the way of the lore you’re asking for, unfortunately. ![]()
