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.

(Anonymous) 2017-11-06 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)Firstly he needs demon blood and he needs enough to fill up a small rice bowl. Then he'll need to stir it two hundred and twenty-two times anti-clockwise, one time clockwise and do this three times during the day. He then needs to bottle it and confess three of his sins to a stranger and capture the verbal reaction of the stranger in the bottle.
He'll then need to get fourteen feathers, one of which needs to be from a monster. Sora must have them braided into his hair and then go and find a cow. He must slaughter the cow and remove its stomach and drain it of all fluids. He then must fill up the cow stomach with the demon blood and shake it. Once he drinks the blood from the stomach, he'll be transformed into a Nephilim.

Activity: 20 COINS FOR MAY, 10 COINS FOR JUNE, 20 COINS FOR JULY, 20 COINS FOR AUGUST, 20 COINS FOR SEPTEMBER, 10 COINS FOR OCTOBER (30 Remaining)
Request: Reira asks if Mana could give her a way to talk to the Algae in the park, so that she can bridge the 'language gap' that Nagisa has-what with algae not really being...Plants and all.
Backfire? SHE CAN TALK TO ALL ALGAE
also seagrasses I guess, since there's only one species and it falls into the kelpie bracket- the bigger backfire is the fact that she can control existing algae outside the 4th's Park though.Also she possibly ends up with the horns as purchased belowwwwwQuest? HIT ME, MODS
Character Name: Reira Akaba
Reward Cost: 20 Coin Minor Body Mod!
Activity: 20 COINS FOR OCTOBER (10 Remaining)
Request: Technically she doesn't ask for them, they just kinda appear when she receives the above magic; specifically, she gets a set of psuedo horns; they're basically like the horns these guys have, making them entirely useless as more than decoration.
ENJOY YOUR FLESH HEAD NOODLES....I'm assuming limp awkward 'horns' is the most 20 will get, but if they could bolt up or something when shocked that'd be neat.
Backfire? BE SUPER NEAT IF THESE WERE A SIDE EFFECT OF THE ALGAESPEAKING QUEST ITSELF??
Quest? N/A
(frozen comment) APPROVED
Your quest will be posted as soon as possible.
Also, yes, her 'horns' may bolt upright assuming any amount of pressure (such as a hand above her head) would prevent this reaction!
(frozen comment) QUEST
For the white vial, Reira will need to get something from an aquatic, non-monstrous creature. It can be a scale, it can be a small piece of meat, it can be fur or feathers - as long as it's from a creature that spends most of its time on or in the water. Notably, however, it must be from a creature close to her size - this may be in any form she can take, as long as she obtains this object in that form.
When she drops the object into the water in the vial, it will start to bubble. Mana will have warned her to seal with with the cork before it bubbles over.
For the grey stone vial, Reira will need to find a monster who, in their original home, spoke a language that does not have an equivalent in Reira's original world. Again, she must get something - a bit of hair, a scale, so on - from that monster. Again, when she drops the object into the vial, it will start to bubble and must be sealed.
Finally, Reira must pull up some algea and leave it shoved into the large black vial for the span of time between the sun rising and falling. When she uncorks this vial, the algea will have coalesced into one long "cord," and the water will be gone.
Reira must make herself a crown or tiara from the algae. She must then very quickly uncork both other vials and spill the liquid within - it will be all liquid by now - over her head. The algae will absorb the liquid and promptly knock her unconscious with a very brief, faint sting of pain.
When she wakes, the crown will have been partially absorbed into her head - the remaining parts that stick out will have split and transformed into her floppy horns. She will also have all her algae-related abilities.
