Mage of Void please

The mage of void, also known as the one who knows nothing and is the best at it! Haha, kidding... or, I think I am? Let’s just get to this whole analysis. 

Key Words: Nothing, knowledge, hidden, provider, con deals all around. 

Void is essentially nothing, by definition. It’s a lack of knowledge, it’s darkness, and the opposite of light. Void players also have the ability to stay hidden as well.

A Mage of Heart is someone who understands the lack of knowledge surrounding themselves and their teammates and is able to point out every blind spot they can. They use their own personal experience to gain their knowledge, and through that they become well informed players. This makes smart and powerful players, so the game decides that with this class comes a horrible curse.

The Mage’s curse is what is bestowed upon all of the mage class before ascending to godhood. Their aspect is used against them to threaten their life and well being. This means that the Mage of Void will suffer from a lack of identity and a lack of knowledge. What does this indicate? Well I’m sorry to say but this could very well mean depression, identity issues, and very well a feeling that they never know what they’re doing-making them think that they’re just a screw up. 

This one is a little strange! Mages also seem to have a lack in their aspect like how Meulin is a Mage of Heart yet is seen having this predicament with her abusive matesprite Kurloz, and Sollux is always somehow always evading his (permanent) doom. I’ve stated above that the Mage will suffer from a lack of knowledge, but its more than likely that this mage will have plenty of it. I believe that this Mage of Void will have plenty of knowledge, but will not know how to use it so in the end, it’s useless and wasted. 

Although, from these failures they will learn more and more about their aspects. It’s all connected in a giant, painful circle.

Unlike the Seer, the Mage benefits themselves with their aspect WHILE using it to guide, usually by setting examples of what they know.

The Mage of Void would use their knowledge on nothingness in order to help their teammates around. They know where all the greatest blind spots are for attacks, they’re able to point out what the enemy does not know which will be great for planning attacks, and they’ll be able to help themselves with the ~power of improvisation~. It’s....cooler than it sounds. 

This would also help that Mage’s create their aspect as well as learn and guide with it. This is shown by Sollux who creates the virus that kills the trolls’ lususes and Meulin who creates pairings that somehow end up perfect. This Mage could create a void in their enemy’s plans, and y’know, provide a lack of information. This could be done by selling some “””useful information””” to the enemies sounds about right. 

Pros:

- You’ll be the greatest con man if you can play your cards right- Surprise attacks are right up your alley. 

Cons: - The Mage’s curse bites - Depression, mental issues, they all suck

yo, is there any way in wich someone can found out what their classpect is???

You can try some classpect quizzes, or you can read various analyses and see which one YOU think fits you. Either way is fine, but here are some quizzes!

https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/rvalle/hsquiz/hsquiz.html

http://zules.com/titletest/results.php?class=04&aspect=01

If you’re unsure of what you got, then research what classpect is the way to go. Dig up some information on the classes first, and then picking an aspect will come along pretty easily after that.

Have fun!

What would be the key differences between a page of heart and a page of breath?

A page is one who provides others with their aspect or creates their aspect. Although pages always seem to start with some sort of setback in the beginning of their session that they have to overcome. They’re always seen with some sort of loss in their aspect. 

The Page of Heart and the Page of Breath both link to confidence, but here are some things that separate the two.

The Page of Heart will suffer from a loss of strong emotions, or a loss of soul. I see this as a loss of character, meaning it’s more than likely that they will have some identity issues, and will possibly have to overcome or work on their insensitivity. They may “not care” too much on certain issues that they should really care about. 

The Page of Breath will suffer from a loss of freedom. This means that they will feel overly stressed, constantly pushed to do things that they may not want to do. They may be a pushover that doesn’t know how to say no to things, and because of this they’re going to feel like they don’t have much freedom to do as they please. 

The Page of Heart will be able to provide and create their aspect and become incredibly powerful after they overcome this boundary. This means they will be able to create souls and strong emotions. Remember though, creating strong emotions for a situation or an opinion does not guarantee that you’ll be on board with it. Emotions ≠ Automatic loyalty. 

While the Page of Heart creates feelings, the Page of Breath creates freedom itself. This means that they will be able to break the boundaries bombarding their teammates, and this includes anxiety and paranoia. 

Tldr; Page of Heart focuses on feelings and will suffer from the lack of it. They may be able to create them but they cannot create loyalty. Page of Breath focuses on freedom and will suffer from stress load and being a pushover. Page of breath breaks boundaries and allows for relaxation.

Knight of Life for analysis?

Key words: Lifelines, lifespans, protection, devotion, health

Luckily for us, we’ve seen the knight class in action! Dave Strider will serve as our canon example for today. Jane Crocker will also serve as our canon life aspect example for today! 

Life is the aspect that correlates with your well being. It’s directly related with time, for it’s unrestricted. It’s the aspect that decides whether you go on or stop in the middle of your journey, its’s paired with time to see whether you’ll succumbed to any obstacle life will throw at you. It’s your health, your lifespan, but most of all it is healing. 

A knight may or may not be present in a session, but it’s unknown for certain if they’re needed in order for it to be successful! Whether they’re truly needed during the task of breeding the Genesis frog is a mystery for us. A Knight of Life would be a HUGE help in the frog breeding department. The aspect of creation and the aspect of existence working together? You cannot go wrong with that! 

Knights have been given the responsibility to protect their aspect. Not to mention that the feeling comes natural of them, almost as if they’re just drawn to the idea of protecting it!

Karkat makes it his responsibility to protect the bonds within his session, this includes going out of his way to calm down and pacify gamzee during the clown’s rampage. Dave too, has been shown to take responsibility in protecting his timeline by sacrificing other versions of himself to make sure that things go alright.

The Knight of Life would find it their duty to protect the life in their session, this means the lives of their teammates. They’d be protective, cautious, and sometimes they may seem a tiny bit overbearing. They’ll have to realize that there are some things that they have to let others handle, and that not everything bad that happens is their fault. 

The knight class is defined as one who equips themselves with their aspect, one who improves themselves with their aspect, and one who protects their aspect. Dave manipulates the timeline for his and his teammates’ benefit, and Karkat makes himself leader while trying to unify the bonds within his team.

The Knight of Life would protect and defend with life, to say the least. They would possibly be able to heal and protect their teammates. Jane is able to supply Life to other players, therefore healing them, the Knight of Life may be able to do the same to protect their teammates. Defending with life may mean that they can use the life around them to defend against enemies. Whether this means being able to summon an army with the life around them is up to you. 

Knights always seem to have a problem with themselves and cover it up with some sort of other face. Dave’s “cool kid” act, Karkat’s “angry, crabby leader” act, Latula’s “R4D1C4L” act that hides her depression, etc. I wouldn’t be surprised if this player was doing the same. Look out for this knight, alright? 

Pros: -You’ll be able to protect your friends while doing your job, and that’s probably what you care about most.-You'll be able to heal your teammates to protect them, and that will be a major help in the session -You're an amazing assistant in the frog breeding department. (hmu if you have any extra frog breeding time.)

Cons: -You're going to feel responsible for your teammates' safety, and you're going to need to get over that. -Probably going to have some sort of flaw that you feel like you need to cover up in an unhealthy way.

what’s this? Im back from my silent hiatus? what a surprise! 

hello again! 

[sspacemage-blog]

could you do a sylph of heart please? thank you!

Key words: Emotions, healing, therapeutic, soulfulness, and intentions.

Heart is the aspect of strong emotions that drive your passion! It is the aspect that defines who you are and what your personality is. It is also the aspect that makes up your literal soul.

Luckily we’ve seen a sylph in action! Aranea Serket will serve as our canon example for today. Along with our canon heart player Meulin Leijon. There is still some confusion about the sylph class in general, so a lot of these concepts can be interpreted differently.

The sylph class is one of the healing classes, and is usually thought of to be the Maid’s passive counterpart. It can be interpreted that sylphs are the ones who heals and restore with their aspect, just like the maid class. Aranea uses her light to heal Jake’s state of mind, which supports this speculation.

This means the Sylph of Heart would heal others using their emotions. Recall Meulin's ability to play matchmaker and how they always came together perfectly! She created strong emotions between the two using her knowledge of romance. It's possible that the Sylph of Heart would be able to mend mental wounds using strong emotions (maybe physical wounds with souls?), but it would be more than reassurance! Imagine being able to leave all self loathing behind, being able to move on from those past decisions you've made! Sounds great right? However, heart is NOT hope, so you may be able to move on from something with their help, but that does not mean they can automatically make you committed to something.

The Sylph would also restore strong emotions in their session. Nobody will be dragging their feet in this adventure!

We know that witches manipulate their aspect, and this could be the the case for sylphs too! We see Aranea manipulating the light to help Jake unlock his true potential, she manipulated it to help him so that she can advance with her plans. The Sylph of Heart could manipulate someone’s emotion or their very soul to help them out. This could either turn out very well or very bad. Be careful and make sure to listen to your brain rather than JUST your heart. Of course, their power would not be as powerful or as effective in this sense when compared to a Witch of Heart, but it's still something to be weary of.

Sylphs could benefit others in a more psychological, mentally based way while witches are more direct and straight to the point. This sylph would be filled to the brim with pathos filled arguments, advice that you think you should probably follow, and personal agenda. Their intentions are to help you, I swear!

Pros: -Local matchmaker and dating advice master, a trait known by almost all heart players. (Except the Prince of Heart)-Restores soulfulness and strong emotions in the session

Cons:-They may head towards the "Doing the wrong thing for the right reasons" path, make sure to reason with them.

ok..how would a mage of space get along with the maid of space??

An interesting combination! Let’s see how this plays out.

The maid class in homestuck is generally seen as one who give [aspect], protect themselves and others with [aspect], and surround themselves with [aspect]. However, they can also be seen as someone who is made of [aspect].

The Mage class is someone who derives knowledge through (usually negative) experiences and uses it to benefit themselves. They would obtain [aspect] through experience with [aspect].

We know the Maid of Space would literally be made of space, and would provide others with it. The Mage of Space would gain knowledge from contact with space, so what I’m seeing here is a learning based relationship.

The maid would provide the mage with space to learn and experiment with, allowing them to grow and achieve more!

However, this could go wrong, seeing how the mage is prone to having bad experiences with space. I would keep a close eye on these two! They might get themselves into reckless situations.

Would you analyse the Sylph of Mind?

Yes! Sorry for the long wait.

Key words: Organized, justice, mindful, clear-headed, truthful.

Mind is the aspect of perception and logic. It is the choices you think about before making a decision. It is you pacing back and forth when you’re unsure of yourself, or when you’re regretting any bad decision you’ve made.

Luckily we’ve seen a sylph in action! Aranea Serket will serve as our canon example for today. Along with our main mind player example being Terezi Pyrope!

There is still some confusion about the sylph class in general, so things are not set in stone.

The sylph class is one of the healing classes, and is usually thought of to be the Maid’s passive counterpart. It can be interpreted that sylphs are the ones who heals and restore with their aspect, just like the maid class. Aranea uses her light to heal Jake’s state of mind, which supports this speculation.

This means the Sylph of Mind would heal others using their logic and reasoning. Recall Terezi’s power of seeing her past decisions and being able to use those to make better ones, its possible that the Sylph of Mind would be able to use this BUT towards the other players in their session. They’d be able to use other players’ past decisions to help them make better ones, therefore saving them from the pain they may cause themselves.

The Sylph would restore and logic in their session. No stupid decisions that would get everyone killed, no false accusations, nothing. Sounds like heaven, right?

We know that witches manipulate their aspect, and this could be the the case for sylphs too! We see Aranea manipulating the light to help Jake unlock his true potential, she manipulated it to help him so that she can advance with her plans. The Sylph of Mind could manipulate someone’s mind to help them out, which sounds pretty contradictory! However, it all depends on the player themselves. I don’t think this will be as strong as the Witch of Mind’s ability though, it wouldn’t come close.

Sylphs could benefit others in a more psychological, mentally based way while witches are more direct and straight to the point.

Think of the Sylph of Mind as your personal advice machine. Except they’re human, and you should still treat them like humans, but they’ll sure make your choices look a lot more black and white. It wouldn’t surprise me if they didn’t sugarcoat the truth either, if you need to hear something then they’ll make sure you hear it.

Pros: -Prone to make decisions a lot easier to choose from -Knows what they’re doing -No sugar coating, they’ll tell you what you need to hear.

Cons:-You’re GOING TO FEEL dependent of them, very dependent. Make like a MOS and make some space.

[sspacemage-blog]

Hi! I've just got a question. I'm quite confident that I'm a Mage of Heart, but I seem to have a small problem. I don't understand love or romance at all, and I don't understand why I have my God Tier. Is it just to challenge me? Thanks!

A mage of heart who doesn’t understand the concept of love? Why this is perfect! A mage’s goal is to understand their aspect through experience, so this would be perfect for you.

A god tier is given to challenge you, yes, and it’s also given to help shape a player and let them experience/look into things they never would have without the extra push.

[sspacemage-blog]

Thank you!

You’re very welcome! I hope you enjoyed it.

[sspacemage-blog]

I'm not sure if you are taking asks right now as you didn't specify in your rules but if you are I hope I'm not bothering you. Could you analyze a sylph of doom?

I’m always taking asks unless specified so this isn’t a bother at all!

Key words: order, sacrifice, healing, cryptic, morals

Doom is the aspect of laws, restrictions, and sacrifice. This aspect keeps sessions in check, and it knows what has to be done in order to see the bigger picture.

Luckily we’ve seen a sylph in action! Aranea Serket will serve as our canon example for today. There is still some confusion about the sylph class in general, so things are not set in stone.

The sylph class is one of the healing classes, and is usually thought of to be the Maid’s passive counterpart. It can be interpreted that sylphs are the ones who heals and restore with their aspect, just like the maid class. Aranea uses her light to heal Jake’s state of mind, which supports this speculation.

This means the Sylph of Doom would heal others with restrictions and sacrifice. Now you may be thinking that this particularly doesn’t sound very pleasing, or effective, but that’s not necessarily true. Healing does not always have to be physical!

A Sylph of Doom could use sacrifice and rules to shape others and ultimately save them from any damage they may occur if they had not thought of the consequences of their actions. They would be preparing their teammates for the decisions they might face during battle. If their teammates are prepared, that would minimize casualties!

The Sylph would also restore law and order to their session, which is pretty self explanatory. See them as your session’s lawmaker.

We know that witches manipulate their aspect, and this could be the the case for sylphs too! We see Aranea manipulating the light to help Jake unlock his true potential, she manipulated it to help him so that she can advance with her plans.

Sylphs could benefit others in a more psychological, mentally based way while witches are more direct and straight to the point.

In this case, the Sylph of Doom wouldn’t seem helpful. It would be as if they are answering your question with another question all the time. They could also manipulate the ways others interpret rules

Pros: -make sure you follow the rules -your session’s own law enforcer

Cons:-Their advice is always cryptic-Their healing doesn’t feel so rejuvenating

[sspacemage-blog]

would a mage of space and seer of time get along? not in a quadrant situation more like in a broad sense

Well I would certainly hope so! I can definitely see a Mage of Space and a Seer of Time collaborating and using their powers to become the best strategists known in existence.   

You have the Mage of Space, who would know everything about the universe and where things are, how fast something is going, etc etc based on experience! The Seer of Time knows what is to be and knows of what to avoid if the timeline is to be successful. Together, their plans would have such a low chance at failure. 

If they’re both fully realized? You can’t outsmart them! 

But to answer your question, then it’s based on the personalities of the players themselves. Sometimes personalities clash and mix badly, and there’s nothing wrong with that! However, for the benefit of their session I believe they should work towards getting along. It is for the best

[sspacemage-blog]

can you analyse the sylph of breath, please? :3

Key words: meditation, freedom, winds, mental state, anxiety, healing, restoring

Breath is the aspect of freedom! It is the aspect that allows you to explore freely without the pressure of your tasks closing in on you. It is the aspect that allows laid back personalities and the ability to relax. Breath is the aspect that is associated with wild, strong winds that go wherever they want to go.

Luckily we've seen a sylph in action! Aranea Serket will serve as our canon example for today. There is still some confusion about the sylph class in general, so things are not set in stone.

The sylph class is one of the healing classes, and is usually thought of to be the Maid's passive counterpart. It can be interpreted that sylphs are the ones who heals and restore with their aspect, just like the maid class. Aranea uses her light to heal Jake's state of mind, which supports this speculation.

This means the Sylph of Breath would heal others with the wind and/or with freedom! Their teammate’s wounds would be healed with the wind, just as how our JUST1C3 OBS3SS3D TROLL'S blind eyes were healed with Aranea's light. They would also be able to restore someone's freedom, which means releasing them of whatever has been bombarding them. This includes anxious thoughts or paranoia.

A popular quote to describe the sylph class in general can be found here.

We know that witches manipulate their aspect, and this could be the the case for sylphs too! We see Aranea manipulating the light to help Jake unlock his true potential, she manipulated it to help him so that she can advance with her plans. Sylphs could benefit others in a less direct, more psychological way while witches are more direct and straight to the point.

In this case, the Sylph of Breath would often be less straight to the point when helping others with their issues that heavily weigh on their mental health. It may not seem like they’re helping, but in reality it’s just you haven’t realized they’re helping yet.

Pros:

-Heals with the wind, which can be found anywhere

-One of the sylphs that can cure anxiety seriously if that’s not a pro i don’t know WHAT is

-Helps you even if you don’t realize it

Cons:

-Takes the indirect, so their intentions are difficult to understand sometimes

Overall? They’re great help! Just don’t get hurt all the time, it’ll kill the vibe.

xstationcubed:

On the subject of Derse/Prospit dreaming, Hussie’s posted a response on that subject. Most of it remains spoiler-y, but the end gives a pretty decent summary, of which these are the most relevant non-spoiler-y bits.

“Being from Derse means you are from a culture of offense and aggression. Being from Prospit means the opposite. You could argue that these are qualities that either rub off on the dreamers, or they are designated as those dreamers in the first place because of those qualities. You could take the view that these are innate tendencies to overcome … Or maybe sometimes they are tendencies that are resisted, and need to be understood and embraced.”

There really isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer to the question. Just like the rest of the game, it’s all incredibly varied from person to person.

OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU. This is golden. Not only is that an elegant explanation for the Prospit/Derse sorting hat question (though I’m not about to assume that’s the ENTIRE explanation), but this is TOTALLY RELEVANT TO MY IDEAS ABOUT EMBRACING/DENYING YOUR ROLE. Hussie puts it even better: 'overcome’. I like that. I’ll adapt my theory accordingly.

Anyway, going by this explanation, maybe Vriska’s assignment to Prospit was exactly what it appeared to be at first: a punch in the face, getting shunted to the ‘goody two-shoes’ team to learn some humility… perhaps in the hopes that it would ‘rub off on her’. :D

[sspacemage-blog]

Whenever I see a session with more destructive classes than healing I know deep in my heart that they're going to have the same troubles as Mercy in Overwatch

[sspacemage-blog]

Haha funny story actually, the Thief of Mind and the Prince of Breath are actually in a relationship! Anyways, thank you so much for the analysis! It was really good!!

I can’t believe I (sorta?) called that ahaha, but I’m glad you enjoyed it!
