 |
Magic skills allow characters to cast spells and preform rituals.
Description
Characters learn magic in various ways; some through personal tutors, some on accident, some through specialized schools, and some characters are just naturals. No matter how they learn, every character has the ability to cast and learn magic.
Power points determine how many spells characters can cast.
Ritual skills determine which rituals a character is able to perform. When a character first learns a ritual skill, they also gain some basic rituals.

Rituals
To learn a ritual skill a character must first either master a school of magic or learn the ritual skill through the Maven Roleplaying skill. It costs 1 skill point to learn a ritual skill after mastering a school, or it is free when learned from being a Maven. If you gain a level of Maven and learn a ritual skill you had already gotten from skill points, the skill point is refunded.
Once a character has learned a ritual skill they can perform any ritual that requires that skills as long as they have the physical materials necessary to do so. Upon learning a ritual skill, they also gain access to some basic rituals based on which skill they learned. Pick these rituals up at the preproduction desk at check-in the event you gain the ritual skill.
Many players forget to pick up their basic rituals from the logistics desk when they first learn a ritual skill, and it is not uncommon for these rituals to get lost as well. When this happens, you can request new copies of the basic rituals at check-in. Note this is only for the basic rituals; loot rituals have to be earned again if they are lost.
Some rituals require additional skills to perform. They will be listed on the ritual itself.
Power Point Cap
Characters can never spend more than 20 magic power points in a single game day. Attempting to do so causes the character to gain an unpreventable Torso Wound condition as the magical energies tear the character apart. This will also cause the spell casting to fail. Abilities that grant characters power points that break cap do not count against this limit.
School Master
This title represents seven different titles at once, one for each school of magic. A character becomes a School Master (replacing "school" with the name of school you have mastery in, such as Aegis Master) when they:
- Have obtained all 20 power points.
- Learned all spells in a school.
- Upon learning all the spells in a school, learned the ritual skill for that school (or gained it via the Maven RP Skill).
Characters can become masters of every school they qualify for.
Upon becoming a Master of a School, the character may choose one level two or higher spell to specialize in. You cannot change this spell after it is selected. Your selected spell costs you one less power point to cast (to a minimum of 1). This discount does not stack with other discounts you can obtain through the game, most notably with the Master's Staff, unless it is specifically stated otherwise.
A Master of a School is the only one who can benefit from a Master's Staff.
