I loved the idea we've got going on in the http://alliancelarp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=16887 thread. I am waaaaayyyy more interested in blathering on about Lore possibilities though, and that needs a split thread. So here we are.
I PROPOSE that the noble race of Flubberdoops are not a race, but neither they a mystical construct. Instead, they are a form that is taken by other races to achieve a higher state of being, be it for mystical, fighting or other purposes. This higher form allows your mind to open to all possibilities, learn with the utmost ease.
To achieve such an ascended state, the Flubberdoop ritual incorporates the magic energy of a Pirit Linked item into the Spirit of the new flubberdoop. They bond with the magical nature of the item and create a vacuum that absorbs all nearby magical energies and repurposes them to the fluberdoop's mind. Any magic from an item is instantly sucked into this vacuum and nothing happens. That means the charge is blown or the aura has no effect, all the magical energies being sucked up. This phenominon seems to only apply to items.
Every night in their sleep, a Flubberdoop must be in contact with a magic item to drink of its magical energy (preferably the one they underwent the transformation with, for the bond that the item and the creature now share is one of Spirit). If they do not, the flubberdoop becomes distraught, confused, angry and generally crochety due to their physiological dependence/addiction not being satiated.
Holding magical items feels wonderful and replenishing for a Flubberdoop, especially when they attempt to use the item. This can lead to Flubberdoops expending several charges of a magical item to absolutely no effect. Some Flubberdoops have the desire to horde magical items, even though they literally CANNOT use them.
