Magic Origins Characters can use magical abilities. How a character obtained their magic is up to the player. Some ideas include: Born with magic (innate magic) Make a deal with a spirit, deity, or demon Cursed by a witch or other magical creature Use a spellbook, tome, scroll, or other magical artifact Unlocking Spells Spells are unlocked as characters complete normal roleplay activities. After finishing (and exiting) a thread, visit the Experience Claim to claim experience. Spells will be automatically updated as you progress. Be sure to visit the Experience Claim as soon as you join to immediately unlock your first spell. Passive Magic Passive magic is used only to enhance your character's appearance (i.e. small flowers grow when walking, sparkling or glowing fur / eyes, wisps of smoke coming from the mouth, wings or gills that can become hidden, etc). Does not need to be dice-rolled Does not take up a spell slot (i.e. doesn't need fire spell to have smoke wisps) Cannot cause harm or give a combat advantage to yourself or others. Cannot give special effects (i.e. fire smoke wisps shouldn't make a character immune to fire). Magic Effects Spells can have various effects, such as inflicting damage, altering stats, or other special effects. Each roll of a spell can be used for ONE action (ie 1 dodge, 1 damage, or 1 effect on 1 target). Almost any spell can be used to dodge or block if you're creative. Almost any spell can be used to inflict damage if you're creative. Effects should only last 1 post or until the effect has been triggered - unless stated otherwise in the official description of the spell. If more than one effect is listed in the spell description, only ONE effect should be used. Many spells have pre-written special effects players can use. Using the prewritten effect is optional. Players can customize how their spells work! The descriptions are meant to be a starting point for creativity. Be sure to clearly state the intended effect when using a spell. If you're unsure if a special effect is allowed or falls under a specific spell, reach out to Staff in our discord. How to Dice-Roll Spells The stat type to use when dice-rolling a spell heavily depends on the situation and how the spell is being used. Some spells have a suggested stat to give players an idea of what to use. Regardless of what stat type is suggested: players should choose a stat type that is appropriate based on how they describe the spell being used (ie if Clone spell is being used to push an opponent, it would be Strength, but if the Clone is being used to confuse an opponent, it would be Charisma). See the Combat page for more info on stat types and dice-rolling..
