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: Hoo boy. This is gonna be a long one, so let's summarize it basically first: Madoka and Rohan are requesting an extradimensional space/building for their new Church of Fog.
The way it works is this: trapdoors are laid out in varying locations. All these trap doors open to lead to nothing normally; just a thin layer of dirt over the floor of the place. However, if a Dyster key is used to open it - or some other token of approval, given out once a person has been granted access to the place - the trapdoor instead opens into the extradimensional space. All outside trapdoors lead to the same entrance area; I assume that travel between areas like this would be discouraged, so you can only exit via the trapdoor you came in from. There are no windows or ways to get to the outside world, although it IS breathable inside.
The inside building is bizarre: think one half mason lodge, one half red room, and an extra half high-end club. It is mostly unfurnished to begin with, and separated into a few separate rooms. The largest is the "church" itself, a wide open space with a raised dais/circular platform in the center for preachers/sacrifices/dancing/whoever might be the center of attention.
The other rooms are mostly unfurnished, but they include:
-A small room to use as an office between Rohan and Madoka, and to conduct Fog Business and meetings inside;
-A slightly larger (though still cozy) room with an open bar; the bar replenishes itself, ideally, since that's sick as hell (though you obviously can't take anything out of the church);
-A small room which can be entered both from the office and from the bar; this acts as a confessional, and will be outfitted appropriately.
Initially, only Fog followers would be able to access this; however, I would like it if they could take at least other monsters in with them. If a person was deemed acceptable by the other fog followers, non-followers could take some sort of talisman which would let them use the trapdoors appropriately.
Finally, I'd LOVE if humans could also come in / worship / die in this manner, in order to make the place feel more alive from an NPC standpoint! However, if there's a concern about humans accessing a place like this, I'd suggest using the residents of Dyster instead. They could probably use a place to let down their hair, after all.
Backfire? The dais comes with a strip pole preinstalled. (It's removable.)
Quest? So I'm guessing that Mana can do some loopdy-shwoopdy space magic, but that she's not just gonna give them domain with people inside. So they have to go beg Fog Mom for that, which she graciously accepts and EITHER 1) connects to Dyster, so people can cross into and out, or 2) gives the villagers of Dyster an entrance into the place too.
For each entrance, they then have to install a trap door, line it with dirt from Dyster, and drop a small black seed Mana gives them.
Also, they have to crack an egg on it.After 24 hours, it leads into their fancy-ass new building.Anything Else? pls approv me quick mods i need, make post, ac........ mods pls...
