Sea Folk	Male	New Game, Step 2	The Spark	The following is handled by dialog. The game opens and the man is on a ship, in a cabin with a Windfinder and the Captain and Cargo Master.  The man is told that his problems of late are because he has the curse of channeling.  He is told the consequences of a male channeler, as he already knows, but also told of a rumor that men who can channel are being gathered near Caemlyn to serve the Corramoor.  He is told to seek out this place.

Player might also try to directly find Nyneave.  Nyneave will refuse unless player is sent by Logain. Once healed, reset global variable.    WOT_MagicBurntOut = 0
All	All	Blocked, Step 1	Blocked	Player will have a 40% chance of embracing the source every time they try.  They will have a 60% chance of failure each attempt.  Once the player embraces the source, they will be able to cast spells until their mana is drained. Player must join one of the channeling faction.  Each channeling faction will have one NCP that can help with the block and has time.  The player will then work with that NCP and learn some new spells as well as undergo things such as having to get drunk and channel, having to run around until their fatigue is at 50% then channel, having to wear a silly hat in public and channel while embarrased, cast underwater, cast on some cliff or roof.  We need some good ideas in this space. Once the player has completed all the tasks asked by the NCP, the player will no longer be blocked.    WOT_MagicBlocked = 0
All	Male	Blocked, Step 2	Blocked	Same as for female except all the questing and tasks take place at the Black Tower.  Once the player has completed all the tasks asked by the NCP, the player will no longer be blocked.    WOT_MagicBlocked = 0
