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.

Orbble Juice is what Wander and Sylvia use to travel through the universe. It is kept in a small jar with a looped wand inside that looks remarkably like a soap bubble wand from Earth. When the wand is taken out of the jar and moved rapidly, a bubble forms. This can be done on a planet or in space. The orbble bubble will expand to hold one or more people and is typically large enough so that passengers can stand upright. To move and steer an orbble, the passengers only need to walk or run inside it. The faster the passenger runs, the faster the orbble moves.
An orbble provides a pocket of air that allows the passengers to breathe and is apparently self-replenishing. Orbbles are semi-permeable, allowing objects inside to pass through the surface, which is continually rotating. Objects or people can pass through the surface if someone from the inside reaches out to pull them in, but otherwise the surface is fairly durable. During their escape from a derelict ship, Sylvia created a second bubble by pushing Wander and Captain Tim away from her. When Captain Tim attempted to remove Wander's heart, Sylvia was able to merge the two bubbles back together and then threw Captain Tim outside. The spider was not able to break the bubble and get back in, but it was able to grab a part of it with its teeth. ("The Pet") However, orbbles can be punctured by very sharp objects such as asteroids or by strong impacts such as a gargoyle's wings. ("The Bad Guy") Sound is able to pass either direction through the surface, as evidenced by Sylvia and Wander being able to talk to each other while in separate orbbles.
Orbble Juice can eventually run out. The Orbble Pump is a complex machine designed so that when used, it refills Orbble Juice. However, It has one major flaw: the process takes an absurdly long time. ("The Nice Guy")

Passengers can reach outside the orbble and pull people/objects inside. Passengers can create a second orbble by pushing each other with enough force. Orbbles can be combined into one if the passengers pull them together. Outside sharps and strong impacts will pop an orbble and the passengers will fall to the ground (unless they quickly make another orbble to catch them).
It's not for dimensional travel? Where did you think I said that? In one of my threads I mention Interdimensional Doors, which appear in WOY, but orbbles can't do that.
There's another kind of orbble that can move through time called Time Orbble. At the moment I'm only considering standard orbbles.
Although never shown in canon, I'm assuming if someone tried to attack an orbble's passengers, hitting it with a weapon would pop an orbble.
WOY never shows if an orbble has a time limit. The juice itself does run out eventually. It can be refilled at an Orbble Pump. These are found at what look like modern day gas stations but instead of gas, they provide orbble juice and spaceship fuel. The bottle is placed under the pump's faucet and the juice slowly drips out drop by drop. It takes around five to six hours to fill one bottle.
Is there anything else you need to know?
(frozen comment) Re: HOW MUCH?
This orbble supply can sustain one bubble at a time. They have a never-ending supply of oxygen, you can pull things into the orbble and they can hold up to two people at a time.
These orbbles cannot be split or merged and they can be punctured by basic attacks.
Randomizing the location of the orbble pump will not influence the price.
(frozen comment) Re: HOW MUCH?
A few questions:
Can more than one bottle be filled at once?
Can more than one orbble exist at once?
If I wanted the pump to be at the canonical location, I assume I'd have to buy that separately. Would it come with the other things found there? Like the rocket fuel and sodas/snacks/knick-knacks sold in canon? A small selection of spacesuit/ship parts can also be purchased there but I can't imagine that would be allowed. (it also sells garden hoses...for some reason)
(frozen comment) Re: HOW MUCH?
Since we're not familiar with canon, we're not sure what you mean by 'canonical location.' Is it in a store? Regardless, if you wish to acquire anything beyond a single dispenser (and a bottle to keep the juice), you will need to make additional purchases.
