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.

(frozen comment) no subject
In order to trigger the transformation, Chiaki will have to go around asking other monsters how they see themselves in five years, should they remain Ryslig for that long. They'll need at least fifteen answers. These answers must be written down on separate slips of paper.
Chiaki must then fill a container large enough to fit their current monster form (a large tub, an inflatable kiddie pool, a coffin...) with jello of their favorite flavor. The slips of paper will have to be dropped into the jello, and then Chiaki must step into the container as well. After seeping in the 'vision of the future self' jello for eight hours, their body will slowly begin to melt and become one with the jello, until they too are ooze. From there, they can simply slink out and leave the jello behind.

Quest? Quest me up!
(frozen comment) no subject
In order to trigger this transformation, Emmet must take a mirror and a permanent marker. He must hold the mirror in front of his face and use the marker on the mirror's surface to make his reflection resemble Ingo's Manticore form. Then, still holding the mirror like that, he must step out into the rising sun at dawn and allow himself to turn to stone. (Don't worry if the fog is out at that time, for the purpose of this Mana quest he'll still turn to stone.)
When the sun finally sets after a long day and the stone is undone, all his Gargoyle traits will fall away and reveal a brandnew Manticore form underneath.
(frozen comment) Ingo
Reward Cost: 70 coins - magical pet!
Activity: 14 remaining coins from December
20 coins from January
20 coins from February
16 coins from March, leaving 4 remaining
Request: One of his Pokemon companions - he would phrase it specifically as whichever of his partners might want to come! Specifically, it'll end up being his Gliscor! The one move he'll come with is Stone Edge, which causes a bunch of sharp rocks to burst out of the ground at the target, obviously not to be used on monsters.
Backfire? None!
Quest? A quest would be fun, as long as it's something reasonably short and quickly achieved! Ingo is doing this on a wild Mushroom Brain impulse and probably would back out if he had the time for second thoughts.
(frozen comment) no subject
Unfortunately, you only have 4 coins remaining from December, as 10 of them were used for a previous purchase. Please select one or more additional sources in order to make up the difference of 10 coins.

Ingo will have to arrange a circle of rocks, and hover in the middle of it by flying without touching the ground for thirty minutes. At the end of this time, Gliscor will appear in the circle with Ingo to help him down!

Reward Cost: 1 month monster temp — 20 coins
Activity: 20 COINS FOR MARCH
Request: In the hottest days of summer, Komaeda's getting a little bit tired of drying out so quickly as a merperson. He'll ask Mana to turn him into something that can handle the heat!
Backfire? Mana figures, you know what can handle the heat? A demon. Boom, demon time for Komaeda.
Quest? Mana tells Komaeda to find a secluded space where he can draw a circle on the ground and light candles around its edges. He will have to meditate in the circle at dusk, specifically. Once the sun goes down, the fire will crawl towards and engulf him. As a merperson, this would normally kill him, but the fire in this spell is magic—and instead, he'll emerge from it as a fully formed demon.

Reward Cost: 20 Coins | Temporary Monster Change (Waldgeist)
Activity: 20 Coins for February
Request: Basil will ask Mana for something to help him with his sun weakness!
Backfire? Basil, while trying to give the request, is going to stumble over his words a little, and end up phrasing it as "I'd like something to help me spend more time with Max", who just so happens to be a Waldgeist. Mana will misinterpret this as him wanting to be a Waldgeist for a month with her! This will kick in for July.
Quest? N/A
