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.

15 COINS FOR MAY
20 COINS FOR JUNE
15/20 COINS FOR JULY
Request: Over the past few months, he has been off-and-on working on rigging a flamethrower to a guitar. The guitar is shaped like a dog skull, and to test out Mana magic, he will ask that the skull is able to "come alive" with a hinging jaw that can bite like a bear trap, for extra dangerous fun.
Backfire? Its jaw will be able to open... to belch more fire when it's "petted", out to a maximum of about three feet and in five-second bursts with little pinpoints in the eyes glowing red! Attempt to use it more than ten times within two hours will elicit only a dismissive sniffing sound.
Quest? N/A

Reward Cost: Small item, 10 coins. Discussed here
Activity: 10 COINS FOR MARCH
Request: A small vial of his ashes from home, roughly 6inx2in, that would allow him to cross running water of any size (streams to oceans) without becoming weak/sickened.
Backfire? Slight one! If someone were to somehow obtain this vial from him, or even some of the contents, they would have the ability to locate him, which he would absolutely not ask for under any circumstances. Surprise, Mello!

Request: "If we could remodel our home to something more suitable to our new forms, we would be grateful." - Basically, the insides of Noa & L's penthouse/apartment set shuffle around and change up the furnishings so that they actually have what they. Want and need as manticore and demon respectively.
Backfire? Since Touya lives there too, his room has a coat of paint to it now! NO LONGER ARE THEY DIRT WALLS...THEY'RE PAINTED DIRT WALLS! ~OoooOOooOOOO~

Request: Eddie would ask Mana for something to make him look a little bit more intimidating and a little bit less like the Easter Bunny.
Backfire? ...Which means that naturally, he ends up sprouting a pair of deer antlers that make him look like a jackalope.
Quest? Yes please!
(frozen comment) APPROVED
(frozen comment) QUEST TIME!
When he returns 24 hours later, the stump will have fully petrified. He must chip off a piece and hold it under his tongue until it dissolves, at which point Eddie will grow his antlers

Reward Cost: An item from home up to three meters tall/wide 40 coins (I think???)
Activity:
20 COINS FOR JUNE
20 COINS FOR JULY
Request: Dandy has grown impatient and would very much like his ship back.
Backfire? No of course he can't have that, that's not nearly enough coins, that's crazy. So instead it gets converted into an Aloha Oe-themed surf bus. If it could maybe have some junk from his room inside (knickknacks, magazines, maybe a few cassettes?? Mostly just garbage) he'd be less likely to throw a fit.
Quest? N/A

Reward Cost: Temporary monster change (1 month - 20 coins)
Activity: 20/40 COINS FOR DECEMBER
Request: Karamatsu has been in something of a slump lately, mostly brought upon by struggling to shake the disappearance of more brothers and subsequent issues that followed. He's going to come to Mana asking her for a change, anything to shake him into a more positive state of mind.
Backfire? Mana is going to respond by changing Karamatsu into a Simulacrum! This is because Simulacrums experience emotions a bit differently than other monsters, and it might spare Karamatsu from how strongly he's been feeling lately (and also spare him from feeling guilty over everything else). I'd also like this change to occur over the length of September, if possible.
