Sure, I'll volunteer to help. I'll be getting a weapon from you, so it's reasonable that I help with your project too. I hope that me still being a bit of a newbie persona user won't make things difficult for you.

Message to: NaikunMessage from: KrishnaMy forge was recently wrecked, but I should be able to help you with your weapon, and if you're helping me out, I'll make it a priority. The address is in my signature. In the meantime, might I ask you to look through the videos I posted for Moksa Phase I. Come on by next week after school, and we'll get started. Let me know what days work for you, my number is below the address.

@Guns
'Ascended' refers to a Persona user who has overcome personal issues or made a resolution, causing their Persona to evolve. For example, my original Persona was Green Man, but my current ascended Persona is Yggdrasil.

Post by: KrishnaDate: XXXX-XX-XX at 23:41 "Unascended" means that you haven't yet reached Resolution and the Ascension that comes with it. We all have wounds and defects that our personae lead us to correct and resolve, and the symbolism of the arcana leads us to both the nature of our failings and the means by which they can be overcome. Someone who has not yet ascended possess traits that are a mingling of the positives and negatives of their arcanum, filtered through their life experiences. Take a hypothetical individual of the Magician arcanum, and note that what I'm about to write is possibly flawed based on my imperfect understanding, and will naturally be fuzzy and lacking: While we can tell that this person is probably male, we can also tell that he is young, impulsive, ambitious, and talented. But he is possibly also a manipulator or possesses overweaning ambition, shading into arrogance and hubris. These negative traits most likely cause pain to himself and those around him. But by following the path laid out by his persona, the Magician can recognize his faults, grow conscious of them, and develop as an individual. This will cause him to act against his nature, which naturally includes these negative factors, and the dark side of his personality will cause him to manifest his Shadow, the parts of himself that he denies, but which nonetheless give him strength. This confrontation can go many ways, but the best result is that he either accepts his shadow, and strives to be a better person while acknowledging his failings, while still working to put his dark side to good use. Another possibility is that the confrontation turns violent, and if our hypothetical magician is strong and sincerely wishes to leave behind his ambition or manipulation, he may come through and be refined through that process. But at the end of it, he's a different person, and his persona has Ascended, manifesting differently and more powerfully. It may still be of the Magician Arcanum, or it may change, but it is nonetheless a different manifestation. But this may only be true for those of the Magician arcanum. Your own path will be different, as will mine. It depends on the arcanum. Keep an eye on that, and ask a Scanner if you don't know yours, because it is of utmost importance. If you want to know more watch the videos in This Thread. And remember, always, that the Arcanum is the means by which truth is revealed.

Much obliged, both of you. And very interesting, indeed. Perhaps I should do a little soul-searching, no matter how much I believe I may know myself...

Sorry to hear about your forge, and if it's wrecked you don't have to force anything with my weapon. Like I said before, I can wait a bit if it's going to be too much trouble. But yeah, I'll take a look through those videos for sure.
Is Tuesday good day for you? If not, then possibly Thursday?

No, it's not too much trouble. I'd been wasting too much time trying to get some things a particular time, and then someone wrecked everything. It's not much trouble, but I'll probably be cleaning up the metalworks when you come on by. I'll talk to you about what I intend for the project then, and you can let me know if you actually want to participate.
