MANA REWARDS (DEFUNCT)

MANA REWARDS DEFUNCT

THIS PAGE IS NO LONGER IN USE! PLEASE USE THE NEW MANA REWARDS PAGE FOR ANY PURCHASES

Once you've started earning bonus coins, your characters will find a small canvas satchel either in their pocket or under their pillow. The satchel will contain the number of bonus coins earned. Each coin is copper and looks very much like a penny except it has the character's monster stamped on it. The satchel also contains a small scroll featuring a single word: AGIMAT. Reading this word will summon Mana, who will gladly accept these coins as payment for magical favors, whether that be summoning an item from your character's home or bestowing unto them an amazing new power.

Receiving a reward isn't always easy, however. To focus her magic, Mana will send characters on a quest, usually to gather materials or perform a ritual. To receive a mod-custom quest, you must purchase a reward at 80 coins or higher. This is limited to one per player per month. Lower purchases may receive pre-written quests unless you opt out of them, and you are also free to write your own.

Mana can only be summoned by each character once a month. A new toplevel for each month will be posted where you can leave your requests, and the threads will be frozen at the end of the month, once all requests have been processed. Below are categories of rewards for characters to choose from, with a general idea of how much each thing might cost. If you're unsure which tier your reward belongs on, ask below in the relevant thread.

DISCOUNTS
Having recently become a bit more business-savvy, Mana is now offering regular discounts to monsters on various items! Every other month, different request categories will have a 20% discount. Wow! When putting in a request, make sure to note the discount in your comment. The schedule is as follows:

JANUARY
New year, new me! Permanent monster changes are on sale!
MARCH
Time to put down some new foundations. Buildings are on sale!
MAY
April showers bring May powers--that is, powers/abilities are on sale!
JULY
It's the dog days of summer. Pets/creatures are on sale!
SEPTEMBER
More like Sep-temp-ber. Temporary monster changes are on sale!
NOVEMBER
Get a gift for that special someone. Items/weapons are on sale!

ITEMS
This section excludes weapons; additionally, advanced tech (think super futuristic/sci-fi, not necessarily cell phones) falls into the same category as magical items. Magical items may be imbued with up to four magical spells.

10 - An item from home that can easily fit in someone's hand. You may make it magical and imbue it with a spell for an additional 50 coins.
20 - An item from home up to a meter tall/wide. You may make it magical and imbue it with a spell for an additional 40 coins.
40 - An item from home up to three meters tall/wide. An item from home up to three meters tall/wide. You may make it magical and imbue it with a spell for an additional 20 coins.
60 - A magical item from home with a single spell/effect it already has in canon.
60 - A magical item from Ryslig. Mods will design the item, but you should give us an idea of what it should do/be used for.

20 - A second spell or effect for your item.
40 - A third spell or effect for your item.
80 - A fourth spell or effect for your item.

WEAPONS
As with items, weapons may be imbued with up to four magical spells. Ammo availability will be determined on an individual basis.

20 - A mundane weapon from home. You may make it magical and imbue it with a spell for an additional 40 coins.
60 - A magical/high-tech weapon from home with a single spell/effect it already has in canon.
60 - A magical weapon from Ryslig. Mods will design the weapon, but you should give us an idea of what it should do/be used for.

20 - A second spell or effect for your weapon.
40 - A third spell or effect for your weapon.
80 - A fourth spell or effect for your weapon.

PETS/CREATURES
Any creature or monster summoned from Mana will come with their summon item (e.g., a Pokémon would come with a Pokéball, a demon would have their summoning catalyst, etc.). Characters may have as many non-magical pets as they can buy, but only one (1) magical one. Magical pets are limited to a single ability slot, and these abilities do not work on monsters. The prices listed below are in mundane-magical format; the first number is the price for a base pet, the second is the price for a magical pet.

20-60 - A pet from home that is the size of a small dog.
30-60 - A pet from home that is the size of a large dog.
50-70 - A pet from home that is the size of a human.
60-80 - A pet from home that is the size of a horse.
100-120 - A pet from home that is the size of a hippo. This is the largest size allowed; pets bigger than this in canon will be shrunk upon arrival in Ryslig.

MONSTER CHANGES -- TEMPORARY
20 - Change to a different monster form for one month. Temporary monster form is chosen by the player.
20 - The ability to switch between human and monster for a month. The spell allows the character to voluntarily switch every two days, and does not stop cravings. The human form does not retain any monster abilities, aside from the ability to switch forms.
20 - Turn human for a month. This eliminates cravings. You may revert at any time, but this will void the remaining duration.
60 - Change to a different monster form for four months. Temporary monster form is chosen by the player.

MONSTER CHANGES -- PERMANENT
20 - A minor modification to a character's appearance (e.g., gain a few inches, change eye color, sharper teeth, web toes, etc)
40 - Change to a different feeding source (e.g., meat, blood, souls). You will be gifted with the necessary modification for that source (claws and teeth for meat, a spell to drain souls, etc).
80 - A functional body modification (e.g., flight-capable wings, second pair of limbs, etc.)
80 - Weakness exchange (e.g., exchanging sunlight weakness for cold weakness). The player must provide the weakness being exchanged, but either the player or mods may submit a weakness to replace it.
100 - Change your monster type (mods randomize from 7 player-provided options)
120 - Change your monster type (mods randomize from 3 player-provided options)
120 - Ability to switch between monster and human form once per day. This does not stop cravings, and no monster powers carry over to the human form.
150 - Change your monster type (player's choice).

POWERS/ABILITIES
60 - A minor spell or ability, possibly with a time limit (e.g., walk on water for 20 minutes, double strength bonus usable once a day).
80 - Upgrade an existing monster ability.
80 - A summon, or a power tied to a summon (e.g., Stands, Personas). See the FAQ for details.
80 - An intermediate spell or ability. This largely covers powers that don't have a lot of restrictions, but don't affect monsters besides the possessor of the ability.
120 - A major spell or ability.

60 - An additional Travel or Stealth form, no time limit, but restricted to the bestiary's allowed species. (e.g., a rat Pooka with an extra rabbit form)
60 - An additional Travel or Stealth form outside the allowed species, restricted to one consecutive hour a day.
80 - An additional Travel or Stealth form outside the allowed species, no time limit.

BUILDINGS
20 - A structure from home no bigger than a two-bedroom apartment.
30 - A structure from home no bigger than a five-bedroom house.
40 - A structure from home no bigger than a mansion.
50 - A significant landmark built for your character (e.g. a castle, housing complex, massive bronze statue). This will be added to Player Locations.
60 - A small town (≤80 small houses).
80 - A magical location or structure no bigger than a five-bedroom house, or the enchantment of a preexisting Ryslig location.
120 - A large city (≤400 houses) that comes with a statue of the character.

20 - A second spell or effect for your magical location.
40 - A third spell or effect for your magical location.
80 - A fourth spell or effect for your magical location.

SUBMIT YOUR CLAIM
When describing your reward, please be as detailed as possible. Many lower-tier rewards are self-explanatory, but high-tier rewards such as powers, magical items/weapons, and monster modifications especially should be outlined clearly. The mods will be happy to work with you to ascertain a fun and balanced power set.

If your character wouldn't outright ask for the reward you want them to have, have them ask for something else and then fill out the backfire field with what you actually want them to have. (Mana is not as good at summoning as Tikbalang, and characters who don't follow her quests to the letter risk the ritual going wrong.) Your backfire should be something that could conceivably result from the actual request.

Please be advised that mods reserve the right to modify or veto a reward that is too incongruous with the setting.

Character Name: Reira Akaba
Reward Cost: As noted here, 60..? CHARMING AN OBJECT INTO A PERSONALIZED MAGIC THING, SO.
Activity: 40 COINS FOR DECEMBER, 20 COINS FOR JANUARY
Request: He wants to be able to see in especially dark places, like the bottom of Lake Fors...or WORSE.
Backfire? No Backfire, just notes for quest writing buddies: the result will be that Reira's goggles effectively become MAGICAL HI-BEAMS; the greatest flashlight to peer through, probably. As in the discussion, he'd be the only one able to use the goggles in this fashion. Reira also tends to wear these on his head anyway, so Mana can definitely see they're already there.
Quest? TIME TO SEE IF SOMEONE WANTS TO WRITE A QUEST (read: someone will be writing this, even if it ends up Me.)

[personal profile] chocolaterazor 2017-02-08 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Mana will examine the troll crystal goggles, but she indeed has a spell that should work. First, Reira must collect sea salt directly from the ocean. He’ll most likely need an adult for help because it involves using a stove and making sure it doesn’t burn. Don’t burn the salt.

Then he must make a mixture of the collected sea salt and vinegar, then perch on the tallest tree he can find and wash the lenses under the sunlight of the high noon, sit with them under the sun, then at sunset you’ll smear a drop of blood onto each lens before wrapping them completely with wool. The goggles must stay covered until you leave to repeat this task on the next day. Which means you’ll need plenty of sea salt, a lot of it. Don’t burn the salt!

After a week has passed of polishing the lenses, make a paste of glowing mushrooms, then from atop that same tree spread it onto the goggle lenses, then sit from midnight to sunrise. Just like during the first week, smear blood before covering them with wool, repeating for a week straight.

After such a labor intensive two weeks, go find a deep body of water to conk out for a nap in, goggles on. You’ll deserve it. The goggles will have their high beam powers when you wake up, turning on and off with merely a touch to either lens.

Well Touya, if you haven't been keeping your friend up to date with their vet check ups, you're about to! First, Mana will ask Touya to gather a few general supplies from the nearest clinic; namely a penlight, stethescope, otoscope, and some sort of device that measures blood pressure because I sure can't recall what the name of THAT ONE is.

Once he has, she's going to give Squirt a look-over, so he better behave! Once she's done that, she's pretty sure she knows just what will get his Ice Beam back in working order! Once again, she'll need a few things; namely a sample of ice from the nearest body of water possible (Squirt's choice), one of those little chocolate mold things, and a freshly caught fish! (Once again, Squirt's choice; try to make it one he likes! Otherwise the next step is REALLY going to suck)

With all of these ingredients, she'll disappear off to somehow make a pill of sorts. Which brings her to the fun part.

Getting Squirt to swallow it whole. Once he has, make sure he doesn't spit it back out, Touya! Once it successfully gets digested (8 hours give or take), Squirt should be able to fire off a nice frosty Ice Beam once again!

Character Name: Kira Yoshikage
Reward Cost: Pet/Creature 80 Coins
Activity: 6 remaining coins --September-- 22 For --October-- 4 For --November-- 40 For --December-- 8 For --January--
Request: Kira's stand Killer Queen. And this is complicated because Jojo is complicated. But Killer Queen is a human sized cat-man creature that explodes things and then erases them from existence. Naturally it needs to be nerfed to hell and back. But I was hoping for its one power/ability would be that it could summon its heat seaking bomb, Sheer Heart Attack which would be the equivalent to an RC Car. Unless Sheer Heart Attack counts as another creature/pet. I don't think it does, since it's an ability of Killer Queen. It's described as the right hand of Killer Queen. But let me know if I need to adjust what ability the stand is allowed to have.
Backfire? N/A
Quest? N/A

No problem at all. (Sorry for not linking the wiki article for you. I should have done that!)

Killer Queen doesn't need to be able to blow up anything, Sheer Heart Attack included.

But to clarify, Sheer Heart Attack will automatically explode when it finds and connects with it's target and that explosion will be based on the size of it's target. So, if it hits a little wall lamp, that's a small little blast. If it connects with a human being that's a big ol' boom.

As far as heat and power matching it's target... That's inaccurate or a bad translation that's made its way onto the wiki. (Unfortunately this series is continuously riddled with subpar translations. Part 4 part in particular which has kept some of its shoddy translations for jokes in regards to how badly translated the series used to be.) More accurately it's the bigger the target the explosion is larger, hotter and more powerful. Sheer Heart Attack does and is implied to blow humans apart with its explosions. Something that wouldn't be possible if it was just as hot or as powerful as a human being.

I'm super sorry this is so complicated!

How exciting that it can blow things up! I didn't think that'd be okay. This will make Kira a happy murder boy.

This sounds very great mods! Thank you so much!
