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: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.

Request: L was recently in a situation where he was restrained and an object that could have gotten him help was just a short distance away from him. He can't stop thinking about this. He would ask for a major power: telekinesis.
Backfire? Not this time, he's had a rough go of it lately!
Quest? I'd love one! It might be awhile before I have a

L will be able to lift up to two tons at once with practice - roughly the weight of an average car. This would spread over all the items he carries (so, for example, he could carry a car, or a whole bunch of Death Notes, or a mix of Death Notes and apples, as long as the total weight did not exceed two tons).
Mana will give L a string with a long, curved rabbit's tooth, strangely tinted blue. He must find a clawed monster he does not yet know and come to an agreement with them that will involve trading the tooth - but not the string - for one of the monster's claws.
L must then go on to find someone - human or monster, known or unknown - and offer his help doing some form of manual labour for a full day. He must do this for free; additionally, he must be wearing the monster's claw around his neck during this time.
The following day, he must be certain the claw stays completely out of light. He does not have to be wearing it. At sundown or any point after - though he will have to repeat the day of labour if sunlight touches the claw at any point - he may burn the claw. Its ashes should be mixed into some potable liquid.
When L drinks this liquid, he will feel his new abilities infusing him.

Reward Cost: Temporary Monster Changes, 20 coins
Activity: 7 COINS FOR NOVEMBER, 13 COINS FOR DECEMBER
Request: Robbie suggested a human month for them both, so that's Draco's very simple request: the ability to spend his birthday (and some additional time) human again.

Reward Cost: Structure no bigger than a mansion, 40 coins (Although I'll go smaller if that's too obnoxious!)
Activity: 20 COINS FOR APRIL
20 COINS FOR MAY
Request: If Dandy can't leave, then he's going to request his own BooBies. After a far too long, intricate speech, he will successfully communicate that this is in fact a restaurant. I am so sorry.
Backfire? Obviously it's not a giant space station anymore and has to be resized to fit Bavan. And it looks like a regular building on the outside. But it's still bigger than any titty bar has any right to be. If it can still have a second floor (just not that tall, no need to worry about giant aliens anymore) and look relatively the same on the inside, he'll be a happy boy.
Quest? N/A

Request: A magical prison that can hold all monster types. There will also be misc. additional but mundane rooms aside from the cells such as a kitchen and guard rooms.
Backfire? No thanks.
Quest? Nah
Other The magic will weaken at various and random intervals (i.e. when a player has had enough being in prison). This can be reset upon recapture. Or not. Again, this is basically to give players freedom to play. Player permission will also be required.

Request: "I want my dog back. She's a hellhound, but I don't care if she looks like one or can do any of her hellhound things. I just...miss her."
Backfire? Not really, unless you count her being shrunken down and depowered.
Quest? Yes! Percy will need hair from a werewolf, blood from a demon and a large stick, which he will need to bury in a crossroad. She'll appear on top of it a moment later in the form of a totally mundane black mastiff.
(frozen comment) APPROVED
(frozen comment) I SWEAR I PUT THIS IN THE RIGHT PLACE,
Reward Cost: Temporary Monster Changes, 20 Coins.
Activity: 11 COINS FOR AUGUST, 7 COINS FOR SEPTEMBER, 2 COINS FOR OCTOBER. (I think there are 6?? For October? Can I use just 2 to make 20, is that allowed.)
Request: Something to the effect of wanting to be able to be in contact with people directly, without the giant tree growing out of his heart-- effectively, he wants to be able to hug
his brotherspeople.Backfire? He didn't request something specific, but I want him to be a Naga, so clearly Mana should misunderstand his "desire to hug" as "well now you can hug with your entire body, have fun". :') Also, I'd like for this to start July 1 if possible!
(frozen comment) APPROVED
Granted! Please modify your coin count accordingly.
