Alright, lost my job, still have a place to live. Now for the important news, I am in the process of a complete re-write from scratch. I'm aiming for a more serious feel, hopefully it fucking works cause I didn't like the way the story was progressing.

So far I have just started chapter four, I will probably start posting the new chapters once I have a bit of a backlog. I am also ditching the character Annabelle, she just didn't fit well into my mental narative. I will keep the Margitte but will change her name, it was just a place holder name anyways.

As for his abilities as a warlock I wouldn't mind some advice, my writing dosen't have a usually clear cut Good vs Evil themes, I tend towards moral grey areas. Wizardry on the other is pretty straight forward, its an almost scientific approach to magic. Its all based on testable formulas, fire + wind + sphere = a fire ball. How ever actualy being able to formulate a spell and channel aether accordingly is an entirely different matter.

Then there's martial skills, I'm debating if its a cultivated spirtual energy (like chi) only its absorbed by slaying monsters or other people (like exp). Using special martial abilities would increase strain on the body and increased fatigue. However it takes much longer to develop these techniques and the energy to empower them, your average foot soldier or mercenary for example would never be capabale of anything more than a slight unconscious boost to strength, speed, and agility.

Where as if a mage cast too many spells and goes beyond his tolerance of Aether he's got a 50/50 chance of dying or suffering a mutation( these can be positive or negative, Ie increased tolerance for positive or a third arm growing out of your stomach). If a non mage gets exposed to raw Aether they have a 90% chance of death. It also mutates wild animals, things like school bus sized wolves with steel like fur for example.

Anyways, just letting you all know I am infact still working on A Warlocks Luck and now that I have a better Idea where the story is going I can get a roll on.

Also changing his Succubus' name, as much as I like the ancient Assyrian goddes Lilith I'll be changing it to Anax'shi or something.
