Trying to get lightning as a new Arche

Hiya, I heard we can get new Arche elements with approved plots so here's my attempt!

For reference, Garr is at 99/100 elementalism and should be 100/100 before this plot gets started.

My goal was to have Garr practice his Traversion and realize that he keeps getting inadvertently drawn to the direction of thunder storms. While practicing vaulting he ends up getting towards the storm and all his attempts to vault away just pull him closer. Eventually he stops trying to run and instead investigates why this might be happening. He learns that there is a large concentration of shadow creatures (or whatever enemy is deemed appropriate by you) near the center of the storm and he goes to dispatch them using lightning attacks. Towards the end Garr nearly dies but a natural bolt of lightning strikes the foe, saving his life. From that point on Garr would have lightning as an arche element.

How's that sound? In terms of length I could probably make it ~5 threads long. Or this could just be part 1 of a larger plot if it's not sufficient in its own right.

Hi there!

I would recommend that instead of just getting struck by a random bolt of lightning, Garr gets saved and visited by a Lightning Elemental spirit who, for whatever reason, took an interest in him. Or perhaps the spirit was the one drawing him close to the storm in order to elicit Garr's assistance in fending off the shadowspawn creatures.

If you are electing to make this a multi-thread plot, I would also recommend taking a look at and applying for an Addendum. Information concerning them as well as examples of how to present one can be found here.

Let me know your thoughts.

I like that idea!

And if I'm understanding correctly, an addendum is just one big thread right? I can do that. Should I just post over there and have this thread closed?

An Addendum can span multiple threads. You just need to make that clear in your request.
