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: Obi-Wan's third lightsaber which is the most recent one he had in his possession in canon. It is a high tech weapon that is powered by a force sensitive kyber crystal that has bonded specifically with him. Kybers are semi-sentient stones that are aligned to the light side of the Force and can vaguely communicate with Jedi. Since it is force sensitive I would like it to be connected to nature instead with him still being able to sense and feel it as normal. The blade that is emitted from the lightsaber is able to cut through pretty much anything except certain rare materials that are lightsaber proof, if any of those even exist in Ryslig lol.
Backfire? No Backfire!
Quest? No Quest!

In the clone wars the crystals call to and give challenges to the young Jedi who come to harvest them too but there’s no need for that with Obi’s since he’s bonded with it already.
However anyone can actually use any lightsaber! Though a kyber will reject anyone that uses the dark side, whatever that might be in Ryslig idk so that might not matter. Kybers that are forced into submission by dark side users are bled, which gives Sith saber blades their red color.
But otherwise the person the crystal chooses/bonds with is just more in tune with the weapon. And Obi-Wan would be able to sense the crystal if the lightsaber ever got lost or stolen. Jedi can hear the crystals “singing”.
I kinda rambled there but there’s not really any need for the crystal to communicate with him much if at all. So basically just the whole being in tune with his weapon and being able to feel/hear it should be enough.

Request: "Chi are you ever gonna save your coins and not spend them immediately" EVENTUALLY, PROBABLY...but Varian is going to come to Mana and ask her to make him taller. Like not even necessarily taller than before, he just wants his height back...
Backfire? Mana is going to give Varian extra height, but not at all in the way he's actually intending. Instead, she's going to grant him a brand new tail to compensate for the height he'd lost. Isn't she nice?

Request: Doppio asks Mana, urgently and not very composedly, "I need to talk to the Boss!"
Backfire? Because his request is impossible on several levels, what actually happens is that Doppio gains the ability to use small objects or living creatures as phones. It's essentially a long-distance communication ability, with the following rules (feel free to tweak or veto at your discretion, of course):
- Should anyone try to call Doppio via phone - and the other person DOES need a real phone (as well as, probably, Doppio's phone number) - he will be able to receive the call anywhere he is, as long as there is anything he can conceivably use as a receiver. If the receiver is not, in fact, a real phone, he will not be aware of this fact.
- Conversely, Doppio can also call anyone from anything he can conceivably use as a phone, as long as he has their number - and naturally, the person on the other end does need a real phone in order to answer.
- Also, when he gets a call, he has to make ringing noises. Somehow, that's just how it works.
Quest? God, yes, please.
(frozen comment) no subject
Before Doppio will be able to use alternative phones, he'll hear other characters' phones (ie. random objects) ringing.
Once he successfully convinces at least one other character to answer a "ringing phone," everything will sort itself out and Doppio will have the ability to use small objects and creatures as phones.

EDIT: I... probably should have asked sooner whoops, but does it count for quest completion if the other character answers sarcastically or does it have to be sincere?

Request: ICly, Jiro just plans on asking Mana for a "change of pace", intending to get a monster swap for a few months -
Backfire? - But instead she gets speed-based flight. Because "fast" is a change of pace, right?
Specifically, she gains jets hidden inside her arms that she can swap her hands out for (imagine a robot pulling their hands into their metal and jets blasting out of their wrists instead), and they work much like the jet pack from Tail Concerto. They only have two settings: "FAST" and "OFF".
They're definitely speedy, but they're a pain in the ass to control and landing is nearly impossible with them, leaving her to need to alternate turning them on and off to "hover" herself back down to the earth. Turning is possible via shifting her body mid-air, though that's understandably difficult, and the jets themselves can't go forever; they'll get too hot and burn out, leaving her to need to sit for a moment to allow them to cool... or to fall out of the sky and hope they cool before she makes nice with the asphalt.
Over time, she'll probably be able to fly a bit like Bakugo to manage long-distance flight without burning out her jets, but until then she'll spend a good chunk of time running face-first into walls or crash landing into trees... good thing she's made of metal, though RIP that glass screen of hers.
Quest? I've never had a quest in all my time in Ryslig, so yes, please!!

Once the cake is finished, she can either eat it or bury it under a specific tree in Lager Woods. No one else is permitted to eat the cake.
Once she consumes the cake (or once it's been underground for at least thirty minutes), she will develop her new ability!

Reward Cost: 20 coins, mundane pet
Activity: 20 COINS FOR July
Request: Morpeko!
It'll come depowered and thus unable to use any of its moves to stick with the mundane pet cost, and it's a little smaller than a small dog, so!
But man, she just wants her electrified hamster.
And as a side thought: does depowering a Pokemon make it so it can't come in with its Pokeball, or is that something a Pokemon will come with no matter what?
(It's fine either way, if she's Pokeball-less she'll just stuff it in her backpack when something's too dangerous to let it out and about.)
Backfire? N/A

Request: Aunamee would like a second spell for his bone gun. Currently, it can dissolve bones with a pull of a trigger. In addition, he'd like a second trigger/button that releases a shockwave, causing everyone within a 20-foot radius to start speaking uncontrollably. This will make it easier for him to find people who are hiding. And shoot them.

Request: Juno would like to magically ward the Juno Steel Investigations agency. This ward provides safety to anyone within the boundaries of the property against anything that might be happening across the peninsula--ie, if flesh-eating lizards fell out of the sky, the lizards would not be able to get into the agency.
Additionally, anybody who attacks the employees in the building will be forcibly removed from the premises. Most of the time, this results in people being pushed out the door. However, occasionally, this has hilarious side effects that Juno did not foresee, like people being flung through the second-story window.
