Light and Magic; Horns, Hooves, and Tails

November 26, 2019 by kamaliaetalia

What was that I said about not making any more Allied Races alts unless I liked their Heritage Armor enough to level from scratch for it?

Well, I’m not all that keen on the Lightforged Draenei Heritage Armor — not for a Mage, at least — but I just haven’t been able to get the notion of having a Lightforged Draenei among the Minor Mages out of my head.

Meet Krystaliza.

I don’t know much about who she is, other than that she is a long-lost relative of Kaprikka. As far as Kaprikka was aware, all of her progenitors had perished in one Legion attack or another by the time the Draenei arrived on Draenor; her parents, too, were killed in the Orcish rampage. I’m not sure at quite what point in the 25000 years of the Draenei’s flight from Kil’jaeden that Xe’ra arrived and took those who wished to follow her off in the Xenedar, so I don’t know exactly how many generations back Krystaliza is a sister of one of Kaprikka’s ancestors — but for each of them to find that they do, in fact, have a blood relative still living was a delightful shock.

Part of my desire to have this character on my roster came from wanting to pair the Lightforged tabard with the Draenic Silk Robes, as seen above.

Part of it comes from a couple of occasions when I’ve made a white and gold outfit and wished that I had a blonde Lightforged Draenei to model it in the Dressing Room.

And part of it is that with the Orb of Deception, a Lightforged Draenei can become a Highmountain Tauren (or a Gnome can be a Mulgore Tauren), thereby allowing me to pretend — for five minutes at a time, at least — that I have Tauren Mages!


Come on, Blizzard! Some of the Crazed Mages in Blackrock Caverns are Tauren, and they’ve been in the game since Cataclysm! Because they use ice and fire magic already, I think that Tauren becoming Mages as a divergence from Shamanism could be just as valid as Tauren becoming Priests and Paladins as a divergence from Druidism.
But as much as I’d like this to happen, it’s not likely to happen. I’ll just go sit in the corner with the folks who really really want to play Gnome or Night Elf Paladins…

    Sitting in that corner with you! Would love a Gnome Paladin. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Off topic, but yesterday I rolled a female Kul’Tiran mage and the name “Judith” was actually available! So naturally, I kept it. Judith Jenkins is now alive and well and hanging out in Duskwood for now. My Aunt Judy passed away a few years ago, so now I like to think she’s living on in WoW.

      Maybe you should try the Orb of Deception trick, only in the reverse direction — roll a Tauren Paladin so you can pretend for five minutes at a time to be a Gnome Paladin ๐Ÿ˜›

      Hurrah for getting the name you really wanted! That is a lovely thing. ๐Ÿ™‚ I hope the name I have in mind for my lady Kul Tiran Mage will still be available when I get there.
