I was actually just thinking about our relatively new name for eumonite (I think we should stop capitalizing it, by the way). If we wanted to, we could really run with the eumo- prefix. Could magic energy be measured in eumons? Is the study of this sort of magic eumonetics? Does that make Rheya and her coworkers eumoneticists? Would they be using Eumonic Devices (EDs)?

A thought.

Eumonic huh? Kinda catchy. Very simple and fall's well with the rest of what have potential for with our Eumonite. Why not use that to our advantage? Could make the whole naming thing come along much easier.

The idea of kicking out "magic" altogether isn't a brand new idea for FoI. If you remember my friend Damascus, he proposed that we simply call it something else, just to be original. I like the idea of surprising players with, not a magic system like most fantasy games, but something new and specific. I think this also fits in well with the type of pseudo-realism and technology-based fantasy that Fate of Io seems to lean toward quite a bit. It would definitely contribute to the verisimilitude of the game world as a unique and different reality than ours. Anyway, it made me excited. :)

Let's just cut to the chase and make this official. :)

Eumonicists might be the Pylos official name for it, but I doubt that would be what everyone calls them. What about the originators of the language?

I'll use an illustration from a story concept that I thought up a while back.

In my story universe there is a cult of sorts that devotes it's philosophical studies to the concept of the Teknos, and its end Teknotic Nirvana (def: "The Teknos, in brief, is the fundamental element of technology. It is the force behind it, our development of it and use of it. It is not a static constant beyond our control, but is defined by humanity as a whole, although it must co-exist with the Logos (the meaning) to fully be realized. In short for the Teknos to exist in full we humans must learn to define it within the meaning of our own existence. Neither relying fully on it, or denying its use, or core utility. If we can define it as part of our core existence then it will become so close to us that we see through it, that is, it will fall below the focal point of our reality, and some may one day deny its existence altogether." ~ From the writings of Nos Tehbi) Think Budhists only cyber-punk, and devoted to technology, but my point is this: In my story they call themselves Futurans (undecided names here), but the common people call them something else, a more common term more likely to be used by common people of certain areas you know what I mean? Let's not confuse the issue by naming the 'eumonisicists' 20 things based on 20 locations, nut do you think that the common person of Titan City would call them that? It adds a certain level to the under-current culture to give common tongue names...

EDIT: BTW I like the name! lol

Eumotechs? :)
