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: Otto's sick of having to wake up three times a night to guzzle down water, and all the extra showers he has to take to keep hydrated. So what he's requesting is a literal water bed. His room in Hill House will be tweaked to hold a deep pond-of-sorts in place of a bed (9 feet deep, roughly), with the enchantment being that the water is always fresh so there's no hassle involved with keeping it clean.

Request: Donnie would like his Tech-Bo with it's ability to retract into compact form and the tennis ball cannon function as well. Also the caveat that he'll be unable to modify it on his own, like magic or something makes it impossible for him to try to add any additional functions to it.
Backfire? N/A
Quest? If you think a quest fits for this I'm cool with one.
(frozen comment) no subject
Mana will tell Donnie that he must head into Lager Woods to find a stick that's at least six feet long. Following that, he must take it to a public area and spin a plate atop the stick for fifteen consecutive minutes. If the plate falls and breaks, the timer will restart. Once the fifteenth minute wraps up, the plate will fly up into the air and vanish, and the stick will transform into Donnie's Tech-Bo.

Request: Reira goes to Mana asking for 'magic armor'- she wants something that can help keep her safe as a hero, without giving away who she is. Great news! She is technically getting that. O..Other News, well.
Backfire? Mana takes that request, and essentially says 'I hear what you're saying. But I have a better idea.' and offers to give Reira something Way-Cooler-TM. She ALSO offers to give it an upgrade for an added cost, so that other people can even use it!
(It will not protect anyone one bit! Not even herself! It's fine Reira don't worry about it.)
Reira, bless her heart, is a Sucker.
Important Details!
The item that Reira will receive is a ~Magical Girl* Transformation Device~! It transforms the user's outfit into what would qualify as an outfit within that genre!
(*Or boy, NB, etc, etc...)
As well, the outfit has magic built in, which causes any NPCs (barring Mod related matters) to simply fail to identify the now transformed character. If players allow, their characters can also fail to identify the transformed character!
There is only one item, which means only one person can use it at a time- for that reason, the general category of outfit has been noted above so that mods are aware of what sort of outfits are involved at all times. As for other characters using the item, those would be restricted to those Reira trusts not to abuse it- and at this time, it would only be for interactions with unimportant NPC characters, or for purely aesthetic purposes, because hey! Who doesn't want to try looking cute right?
Naturally on Reira's own end, if the item is used toward any player interactions, details and failings will be plotted in advance. Really this is for the fun of magical dresses, blending with Reira's IC desire to have a successful 'secret identity' for hero work with WEB.
If this pool of characters feels too large- at the moment I don't have specific names in mind, so if it's acceptable, a compromise of 'the item will only function within a 3 yard range of Reira herself' seems like a good way to avoid problems. Otherwise I would like to 1- know how many characters Reira can extend use of the item to, and 2- come back to this later with the eventual list of names.
Quest? Yes please! Go ham, I'm stoked for this honestly.

Mana will give Reira a beautiful, heart-shaped locket attached to a silver chain. She then tells Reira that she must fill the locket to the brim with shredded human heart, and close it. Following that, she must stand outside in the moonlight, locket on the palm of her hand, for six full hours to allow the magic to settle. Once the six hours are up, the locket will sparkle, signifying that the ritual is complete. Reira may then use the locket to don her new armor through a magical girl transformation- or give it to others so they may transform.

Request: Sparkling is going to ask Mana straight up for the ability to fly, permanently.
Backfire? None! Mana will be giving Sparkling an additional pair of functional, flight capable wings. He will be able to, as discussed:
-Retract them, resulting in his normal form with the membranes on his arms
-Extract them, leaving him with both the additional wings and the wings on his arms
-Retract the membranes, leaving just the pair of additional wings. In this form only, his arms will be back to normal, with his hands intact.
Quest? Yes please!
(frozen comment) no subject
Mana will ask Sparkling to catch five live vampire bats, each in their own cage. Once he's succeeded in that, he must draw a large circle on the ground, set the bat cages along the circle perimeter and sit in the middle. When eight hours have passed, the bats will abruptly go silent and docile. Magic will swirl all around Sparkling and now he too will have nice functional wings, just like the bats!
