i love pitting classically trained magic users against self-taught magic users in sci-fi/fantasy but it shouldn’t be snobbish disdain for them it should be terror
“WHO TAUGHT YOU LIGHTNING BEFORE BASIC TELEKINESIS. LOSING MY MIND WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU JUST DID IT. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAST WITH YOUR BARE HANDS”


WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT YOU’VE ‘HACKED’ MANA DRAIN

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ‘DRINK SOME JUICE’

WHAT IS ‘LOW BLOOD SUGAR’

WHY IS THIS WORKING

I HATE YOU SO MUCH

Okay but other direction can ALSO be a lot of fun

“What do you mean I don’t have to burn half my blood to create a fireball?”

“Why can you teleport more than once without vomiting? WTF is ‘quantum displacement awareness’???”

“You know HOW many spells? HOW? ... What do you mean ‘my spell book’?”

“Ooooh, you’re just summoning water portions from the Plane of Water... Lol I thought I HAD to combine hydrogen and oxygen molecules to generate water in small amounts. That’s so much easier then what I was doing!”

Sorcerer – Devotion [Things You Might Have Missed 2024]

By Mystikus Hugebeard

French melodic hardcore act Sorcerer released Devotion all the way back in March, and I’ve been listening to it regularly since then. It made quite an impression on me in that time, but I feel it necessary to admit that the strongest impression left on me is the expression of the man on the album cover. Every punch his face has suffered stripped away another wall, revealing in turn indignation, sorrow, confusion, exhaustion, acceptance, and even a subtle bloodlust. It’s the face of a man lost in his world of violence, as senseless as it is inescapable, and Devotion paints a vibrant and unforgettable image of this violence.

One of the strongest aspects of Devotion is simply how great it sounds. Devotion is unquestionably hardcore music, but it’s much deeper and dirtier than most hardcore I’ve heard before. This isn’t to say the production is raw or anything. The guitars are crisp with a subtle buzz that shines during the heaviest riffs, and the bass has a hefty chug like it’s throwing its full weight around. What really sticks out for me are the vocals; hardcore music can live or die on its vocals, and I can comfortably say that Sorcerer’s vocalist is a cut above. He has a coarse, exhausted yell that sounds both professional and like a passionate newcomer screaming their voice to shreds. It’s a shockingly good vocal performance that sounds unhinged without losing control. The guest vocalists on “Fortress” and “In the Arms of Mortality” are both solid screamers, but I’d be lying if during their sections I wasn’t selfishly thinking to myself “alright yeah but bring back the other guy.”

The strength of Devotion’s sound allows the music to cut all the deeper, lending an unstoppable momentum to the riff onslaught. The strongest, heaviest sections aren’t imprisoned only to the breakdowns, allowing entire songs to be dynamic and memorable. There are standard thrashers like “The Eternal Grief” and “Devotion” if you want a quick fix of violence. Still, I love the more adventurous songs, like the seven-minute closer “Someone Else’s Skin” which closes on my favorite kind of escalating riffs with growing layers of noise. “The Bell Jar” is a crazy fun tune that cycles through tons of catchy ideas at a fast pace, and the massive opening verses of “Badlands” and “In the Arms of Mortality” are addictive. The aggression and energy is always high, but it feels focused on a single point; if I were to describe the spirit of hardcore music as the frenetic chaos that comes with the flailing of arms in a mosh pit, then the music of Devotion is targeted violence, focused into a singular, unstoppable beat-down.

At just over 30 minutes, Sorcerer’s Devotion is a slick and brutal album with violence in its heart and without any low points that I’ve been revisiting like clockwork for months now. It’s just the right kind of heavy that hits all the harder for how focused it is. I’d wager that the beefy guitar tone and stellar vocal performance might even convert some listeners who have never been all too into hardcore music. Or maybe I’m wrong, in which case Devotion will leave you lookin’ like the guy on the cover.

Tracks to Check Out: ”Badlands,” “In the Arms of Mortality,” “Fortress,” “The Bell Jar,” “Someone Else’s Skin”

Pura Bera, a yuanti who grew up in servitude, finding a path out through forgery and nefarious deeds.
On a job she was caught in the mysterious explosion of a temple's radiant artefact.
Now imbued with radiant forces, high CHA and good padding.

I have gone for the Asclepius theme! - snakes were associated with healing. It's always nice to look at different roots and associations with symbolism. (Healing staff is one snake not two.)
