MANA REWARDS (DEFUNCT)

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:

JANUARY
New year, new me! Permanent monster changes are on sale!
MARCH
Time to put down some new foundations. Buildings are on sale!
MAY
April showers bring May powers--that is, powers/abilities are on sale!
JULY
It's the dog days of summer. Pets/creatures are on sale!
SEPTEMBER
More like Sep-temp-ber. Temporary monster changes are on sale!
NOVEMBER
Get a gift for that special someone. Items/weapons are on sale!

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.

(frozen comment) Katsuki Bakugo

[personal profile] assblasted 2023-05-04 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Character Name: Katsuki Bakugo
Reward Cost: Power/Ability - 100 coins (or is it 96?? It's usually 120, May is power discount month! I am bad at math)
Activity:
14 COINS FOR APRIL 2022
3 COINS FOR May
8 COINS FOR June
4 COINS FOR July
12 COINS FOR August
2 COINS FOR SEPTEMBER
34 COINS FOR OCTOBER
8 COINS FOR NOVEMBER
6 COINS FOR DECEMBER
3 COINS FOR JANUARY
6 COINS FOR FEB
10 COINS FOR MARCH
20 COINS FOR APRIL 2023

Using the coins from April 2022 - Feb 2023, 100 total! 30 coins left.

Request: Bakugo wants his ACTUAL quirk back, and this time he'll go into detail about it to Mana, complete with teenager drawings on a notepad. Boom Boom.

OOCly, I'm requesting a modified version of Bakugo's quirk! He can make explosions with his sweat/hands. Here's a short youtube clip showing how he uses them. OBVIOUSLY, I DON'T THINK HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO BLOW UP ENTIRE BUILDINGS. Especially since he doesn't have his hero costume to enhance it! So the modification being, he can ONLY create a variety of explosions from his hands--technically in canon, the source of his explosions is the fact that he sweats nitroglycerin (i know i know, anime nonsense) and his hot?? hands ignite it. He creates the huge ass building busting explosions by collecting a ton of his own sweat in those grenade guantlets and igniting it. Ridiculous.

SO BASICALLY, asking for
-an explosion ability that is limited to only being able to create explosions from his hands, the rest of his sweat will not be flammable.
-he can control it at will, ranging from making small fireworks in his palms to big bursts that can launch him thru the air
-he CAN make explosions that would be strong enough to say, destroy concrete walls (but not whole buildings), but at the cost of dislocating or breaking an arm from the kickback, due to now having hollow bones as a harpy.

Backfire? None, restricting its power so it's not ridiculous is enough of a backfire for him lol (LET ME KNOW IF NEED MORE LIMITATIONS)
Quest? Nah I'm good

THANK YALL
(also i forget, can we make multiple requests in one comment? I also wanted to get a small non magical/non weapon item from home--a photo ablum--but if I need to wait til next month that's fine!)

Character Name: Emporio Alniño
Reward Cost: 70 Coins- Human sized 'pet' with a single magical power!
Activity: 1 COIN FOR DECEMBER, 20 COINS FOR JANUARY, 20 COINS FOR FEBRUARY, 14 COINS FOR MARCH, 15 COINS FOR APRIL (5 Remaining)
Request: The 'Stand', Weather Report; without going into (very spoiler) detail, they were a sentient (not sapient though key difference) Stand belonging to a man by the same name, later Emporio, and therefore one Emporio had with him in Felfri. Emporio doesn't care about Weather's abilities, since this is basically as close to his NotDad as he can ever get now.

As far as 'abilities'- Emporio wouldn't request it, but either Weather will be able to bring in small scale control of local weather, ie causing rainfall...OR, if tangibility and personal floating count as the power, then uh. Well, tangibility is prioritized first, floating second. Let Emporio Hug The Stand.

As an aside, I referred to the primary rewards question comment for this!

Backfire? Since Emporio emphasized that he just really misses Weather Report for Mana, Mana has of course complied with a 'pet' type Stand purchase!

Unfortunately, Weather is blisteringly protective even while far less powerful than any monster, which means now Emporio has this strange cloud being manifesting whenever he least needs, because he's decided Emporio Might Be In Danger. Ever have a yappy dog that's certain the trees outside are a threat? Yeah that. Except person shaped and cloudy.
Quest? It was ten coins away from qualifying for a quest so.......................oop!

Just summon the disc and shove it in his skull, Mana.

Character Name: Yoshiya "Joshua" Kiryuu
Reward Cost: Power/Ability - 80 - An intermediate spell or ability. (64 coins with the monthly discount!)
Activity: 12 COINS FOR JANUARY (8 coins used for a previous purchase)
20 COINS FOR FEBRUARY
15 COINS FOR MARCH
17 COINS FOR APRIL (leaving 3 coins remaining)

Request: A travel form (since he doesn't have one.) This travel form is... well. Think of how Kohaku from the CLAMP series Wish goes tiny at night. He's basically a shoulder angel, but his form is a little more monstrous. His torso, arms, wings and halo are the same as always, but his legs become disconnected from his torso Rayman-style and become two thin pairs of wings, and his head (also disconnected Rayman-style) is a mass of fluffy wings with one purple eye in the center. This is physical only and does not grant him any benefits aside from the usual travel form benefits of being slightly faster but more vulnerable.

Activity: 2 COINS FOR OCTOBER, 8 COINS FOR NOVEMBER, 20 COINS FOR DECEMBER, 9 COINS FOR JANUARY, 16 COINS FOR FEBRUARY, 9 COINS FOR MARCH (1 Remaining)
Request: Travel Form Magic! She's decided she misses being able to turn into a little guy, and would like that fixed.
Backfire? Technically Reira didn't request Kuriboh, it just happened.

As for what a Kuriboh is in this case- I'll finalize stuff like 'tail??? color???' later since all I got right now is FLUFFY ORB, but Essentially these guys. About the size of a large soccer ball, typically covered in fluff that makes them look larger, with sharp claws, big eyes, secret teeth... (Technically that's Kuribabylon but, like, gestures.)

So basically adorable, look at this Mana, it's adorable.
Quest? Does it count with the discount? If so then yes please kuriboh quest me baby-

Character Name: Ianthe Tridentarius
Reward Cost: Upgrade to an existing monster ability for 80 64 coins.
Activity: 29 COINS FOR OCTOBER 2022
9 COINS FOR NOVEMBER 2022
15 COINS FOR DECEMBER 2022
11 COINS FOR JANUARY 2023 (leaving 5 remaining)

Request: Ianthe would request her flesh-shaping necromancy abilities back from Mana, and hey, that sure sounds a lot like shapeshifting! Which is something Ianthe doesn't even know pookas had. Whoops.
So rather than illusions, she can now do true shapeshifting/fleshcrafting to herself. Changes she makes are tangible and functional - including things like wings, gills, et cetera, though she would need to practice with extremely unfamiliar body parts to attain mastery over them rather than constantly wrecking herself. Ideally I would love it if minor aesthetic changes could persist longer, while more complex or more unfamiliar changes are time-limited to an hour. For example, changing her eyes or adjusting an existing human body part, rather than crafting functional wings.

Backfire? As above: it's not strictly her necromancy like she wanted, but rather upgrading a natural pooka ability.
Quest? Never had one before so I'd love one, thank you!

20% off with May's sale on powers
64 coins

Activity:
37 COINS FOR OCTOBER
12 COINS FOR SEPTEMBER
14 COINS FOR AUGUST
1 COIN FOR JUNE

Request:
He summons Mana in a manic state, fearful and upset. He was going to ask her for Kim’s police ID but by the time the ritual is complete he’s a wreck. He rambles to her about inevitability, entropy, and messages unheard. It’s not clear what he wants, aside from safety and to be heard.

Backfire?
The decaying touch of a lich, to protect himself from the touches of others and a way to spread his graffito in a medium beyond paint and gasoline: rust and rot.

Quest?
no thanks!

Reward Cost: 120 coins (96 with discount!)
Activity: 10 COINS FOR SEPTEMBER (Four were spent previously)
30 COINS FOR OCTOBER
12 COINS FOR NOVEMBER
15 COINS FOR DECEMBER
20 COINS FOR JANUARY
9 COINS FOR FEBRUARY, leaving 6 remaining

Request: MICHAEL WANTS HIS FIRE BACK. He considers this less of an ability and more of an inherent aspect of his being as his original demon self - he was a fire squid, so he was just on fire all the time! In this instance, he'd want the ability to pull the fire back into himself as needed so he isn't always visibly on fire; essentially just turning it off and on, just he considers it to be inside him because this is a part of his being that's been missing and it's weird??? When active, the fire does not burn his body or clothes, but is essentially attached to him. He can't shoot fireballs or firebend or anything, though he can still ignite other things like normal via touch.
Backfire? Nah
Quest? SURE WHY NOT

Backfire? I want Donnie to be a Slime, thus him doing bad with his wording and explicitly saying he wants to understand Ray better, possibly by saying something along the lines of like "Walk a mile in her shoes" and getting that as the result.

(frozen comment) Goro Akechi (Some P5R spoilers for mods who haven't played it)

[personal profile] policedefective 2023-05-31 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Character Name: Goro Akechi
Reward Cost: 64 (I think? Let me know if it should be 96 instead, I don't mind either way)
Activity: 22 COINS FOR October 22 (what's left over from previous request)
13 COINS FOR November 22
11 COINS FOR December 22
14 COINS FOR December 22
4 COINS FOR January 23
***
If it should be 96 coins:
16 COINS FOR January 23
16 COINS FOR Februrary 23

Request: His persona, Hereward, along with its ability of Call of Chaos

Important notes:

- While the ability was something used primarily with his Persona Loki in the start of the game, Akechi displays the ability to use it on himself during his Showtime skill with Joker even when he has Hereward, so it's assumed since Hereward is a fusion of his two previous Personas, the ability still exists.

- Primarily to be used on himself to give him a sort of desperate attack boost. Also it looks cool as heck.

- If used on other players, it will be discussed with the players before hand

- If Akechi ever uses it on the normal populace, I will discuss anything significant, and he won't be targeting major NPCs (unless I am given mod permission), so making a guy in an alley go insane before sucking his energy - yes. Attacking the mayor - no.

- To make sure he isn't abusing it, I'm thinking he either gets to use it once per day and it uses up a lot of his energy, or it works like his Goblin magic, so he needs to kill more humans to keep up with it's power consumption.

Backfire? No

Quest? Nah, I'll make something up, thank you <3

(frozen comment) Mukuro Ikusaba

[personal profile] dead_eyed_wolf 2023-05-31 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Character Name: Mukuro Ikusaba
Reward Cost: Powers - 80 64 Coin Intermediate, 120 96 Coin Major, 160 coins total
Activity: 3 COINS FOR JULY 2021
9 COINS FOR AUG 2021
20 COINS FOR SEPT 2021
40 COINS FOR OCT 2021
20 COINS FOR NOV 2021
14 COINS FOR DEC 2021
20 COINS FOR JAN 2022
20 COINS FOR FEB 2022
14 COINS FOR MAR 2022 (6 remaining)

Request: Pack Call (Intermediate Power)
Mukuro would like to give her trusted friends the ability to call her for help immediately. This will involve her pulling a fang out (which will regrow with her next night form shift) and giving it to them to hold on to as a summoning talisman. This fang is not destroyed on use, but Mukuro can only be summoned this way once per day. She knows "whose" fang is being used when called on (like hearing a specific packmate's howl) but no other information, including if the fang is being used by someone it's not supposed to be. The fangs can be stolen from their holders and used nefariously, but others pulling teeth from Mukuro directly will not imbue them with the power - she has to do it herself, with intent, for them to be 'active.'

Sharp Shadow (Major Power)
She'd also like to augment her natural agility to a supernatural degree and give herself a defensive boost. This power allows her to gain Shade properties defensively - i.e. cannot be harmed physically unless the assailant is using a silvered weapon (or another weakness, if she ends up swapping in the future) - when moving quickly, such as dashing/springing off walls/etc. This allows her to pass through solid objects (like normal walls) and living things, but can be stopped by anything thick enough to stop a high-caliber bullet and anything magically warded for protection. If she chooses, she can also activate her other monstrous powers (such as her steel claws or her bite, etc) to do damage internally as she passes through.

Please correct me if the pricing is wrong on either of these!

Backfire? N/A

Quest? Yes, thank you!
