(Fill out this section with named ranks corresponding to everyone from the lowest all the way up the leader.

[u][b]Introduction:[/b][/u]
(Please provide at least one paragraph of basic information on the mutation's basic theme, its advantages (if any), and its drawbacks. If the mutation is purely aesthetic and involves no actual change to the character's magical abilities, describe the aesthetic change in detail, and then no further information is necessary. If a mutation will provide an advantage to a character, be sure to [i]at least[/i] bring it into balance with a disadvantage, and remember that in Atharen's magic system, most mutations are overall neutral to negative unless/until a character ascends.)

[googlefont=Playfair Display SC][size=120][color=#CCCCCC][u][b]Details[/b][/u][/color][/googlefont][googlefont=Cormorant Garamond]
[u][b]Prerequisites:[/b][/u]
(In order to ascend, your character must have mastered a raw magic and then wait at least one season. They can only ascend in [i]one[/i] raw magic, and by doing so, they cannot become a Draeden and are barred from certain other final forms of Blights, as well. Before you apply, be sure that this is what you want to do, as once it's done, it will require some pretty significant backtracking to change, with mod approvals at each step of the way. If you're sure: please provide links to all the threads where your character earned lores or XP related to the magic in which you wish the character to ascend so that they can be double checked by a member of Staff. You may do so in the thread or simply provide a link to a GDoc or GSheet that has everything documented. The submitted format must be clean and legible.)

[u][b]Introduction:[/b][/u]
(Ascension is not a natural or expected course for mages within Atharen. Few people become Masters of any discipline, and of the Masters that try to Ascend, [i]very[/i] few succeed. As such, there is no accepted practice on how to ascend into any of the raw magics. In your introduction, write out why you think your character has what it takes to succeed in their ascension.)

[u][b]Outline:[/b][/u]
(Outline the events that lead up to your character's ascension and the lengths your character goes to in order to attain the knowledge or rituals they will use to undergo ascension. It should be narratively significant for your character and/or require significant effort to achieve as a whole).

[u][b]Plot Moderation:[/b][/u]
(Is this a plot that requires another player to play as NPCs and moderate? If so, who is doing that? If there are to be multiple moderators, how are the duties being split? If you don't have a moderator but need one for all or part of the plot, please note that)

[u][b]Community Benefit:[/b][/u]
(Will any portion of this plot be open for other players to engage with? Will the completion of this plot benefit other players in some way? If so, please note that here)

[u][b]Further Study:[/b][/u]
(Ascended mages have a chance to try to develop new techniques, or variations on old ones, within their discipline. If this is interesting to you, you may write about the sorts of themes and abilities you wish to explore with your character once they have ascended. If no, please put "n/a" -- this is optional)

[u][b]Ascended Mutations:[/b][/u]
(Append a Mutation Request to your Ascension Request. If you already have approved mutations, list the original mutations and then the ascended mutations underneath. If your ascended mutations are new, just write them out as you would a normal mutation request sheet. Note that Ascended character mutations [i]are[/i] required, and [i]are not required[/i] to have drawbacks. The net result of an ascended mutation list can be neutral or even beneficial.)
