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.

Quest? ...honestly I'd love a quest if you're up for writing one. Preferably one with a shortish timescale, since I'd really dig it if he could be human for prom.

Mana takes Hawkeye's coins and tells him to gather skin and sinew. The source is not important--what matters is that it must be fresh. He must gather enough material to cover his entire head to form a grotesque mask. Once the final piece is in place, the "mask" will meld to his bone, and muscle and skin will grow anew to mold into his previous human appearance. Hawkeye will then find that he can switch between monster and human form once per day!

Quest? If you're up for it I'd love a quest! It's in response to feeling powerless against Aunamee and still not willing to align with either god, if that helps any.

Maya must first seek out a single strand of minotaur hair. On the night of a full moon, Maya travel to the foot of Plaga's Peak and seek out a hidden forest clearing with a rushing waterfall. There, she must place the hair of a minotaur under her tongue and sit/lay under the rushing waters, allowing the current to hammer at her body. Upon sunrise, she'll find that she has been infused with the strength of a minotaur.

Request: Phoenix wants his spiritually-charged magatama back!
How this works: Basically, it's a device that allows the holder to see if someone is concealing information or lying. Locks and chains will appear in front of the person that only the holder of the magatama can see. There can be as few as one lock and chain, or as many as five, depending on the depth of the information. In order to shatter the locks, though, the holder generally has to question the person on the information and actually present evidence of the actual truth that is being concealed. If a person is found out and confesses to the truth, the lock will shatter.
Obviously without evidence, Phoenix (or whomever holds the magatama) will really only be able to see that someone is lying or concealing information. If someone confesses to the truth without evidence, then sure the lock could be shattered. But why would you do that?
The information concealing may not even be purposeful - it could be psychologically repressed.
Obviously all of this will only function with player permission.
Plus, the magatama may eventually run out of spiritual energy. If somehow Phoenix is here for several more years, he may need to recharge it!
Backfire? Nah
Quest? Nah

Reward Cost: 20 coins for Atem's pharaoh
cosplayoutfit + regalia, which I assume falls under "An item from home up to a meter tall/wide", as discussed here.Activity: 20 COINS FOR JUNE
Request: Ryou would very specifically ask for Atem's clothes from back when he was a pharaoh, including all the gold accessories, if that's okay. He wouldn't want to put too much pressure on Mana but here's some coins, is this enough?? Thanks. He's a very appreciative little nerd. :)
Backfire? Nope

Reward Cost: Human for a Month - 20 Coins
Activity: 9 REMAINING COINS FOR OCTOBER + 2 COINS FOR NOVEMBER + 3 COINS FOR JANUARY + 7 COINS FOR FEBRUARY (1 Remaining)
Request: "I need a solution for ravenous hunger." (if Noa ends up making this request, it gets misinterpreted as 'Human for a month'; see below)
Backfire? If possible, I would like to know if Noa can 'skip the middle man' so to speak; the coins are removed from the count, but the 'turning into a human' bit is ICly a result of sacrificing his whole dang self and everything the Fog gave him to the vortex. Otherwise, in the event that he has to make a request, he essentially goes to Mana, says the above, and her cryptic 'sure do X' ends up fulfilled when he does the dive...which isn't at all what he wanted Mana he was talking about Malik, but ok.
Character Name: Noa Kaiba
Reward Cost: Buildings - 20 (??)
Activity: 1 REMAINING COIN FOR FEBRUARY + 2 COINS FOR MARCH + 5 COINS FOR APRIL + 10 COINS FOR MAY + 2 COINS FOR JUNE (3 Remaining)
Request: A ground level connection to the lift for his penthouse; normally this lift only connects to the hidden apartment there, and entry can only be through the vents or the main floor. After this, there should be a door way and tunnel providing ground access.

Reward Cost: 60 coins | Power Source as discussed here
Activity: 15 COINS FOR FEBRUARY, 20 COINS FOR MAY, 20 COINS FOR JUNE + 5 COINS FOR JUNE from Noa Kaiba, since this'll clear him out until July's AC comes in.
Request: A power source for a ship that'll carry 1 passenger through the fourth wall vortex rift.
Backfire? No thank you they need all the help they can get, he's dropping all his rewards on a story beat instead of a mechanical advantage :')
