A Definition of Skills and Magic

In The Mixed Medieval Arts we have three main ways of producing certain actions, or Effects, upon the people or situations around us. Those are Skills, Faith based Magic, and Mana based Magic.

Skills are Actions and techniques that the Character has learned, practiced and which produce an in game Effect. Skill uses are typically limited to how many times per day that particular Skill may be used/utilised.

Faith based Magic would be any Effect that originates from a Cleric, Nature or Warlock Prayer. All 3 of these are fueled by Faith, through a Prayer Cycle.
Mana based Magic would be any Effect that originates from any Spell, Psionic, Circle or Rune. All 4 of these are fueled by Mana through a Mana Pool, or through a Spell Cycle or Psionic Cycle.

Instant vs Lingering Skills or Magic

All Skills and Magic, regardless of it's source, are either

Instant

If you are the Casting Character of the Skill or Magic -

Instant Skills or Magic are when the results, or the Effects, of the Skill or Magic happens immediately, and DOES NOT leave any lasting Effects upon the casting Character.

An example of this would be FireBall, where after it is made and thrown, the Casting Character has no further beneficial or negative Effects.

If you are the Target Player of the Skill or Magic -

Instant Skills or Magic cast upon you will leave no lingering Effect, rather only an immediate result.

An example of this would be Healing Magic cast upon you where your Hit Points get a one time 'boost' but no further Effect.

Lingering

If you are the Casting Character of the Skill or Magic -

Lingering Skills or Magic are when the results, or the Effects, of the Skill or Magic happens over a period of time, and DOES leave lasting Effects upon the casting Character.

An example of this would be "Fly", where after it is cast, the Casting Character has a declared length of time to enjoy the Effects.

If you are the Target Player of the Skill or Magic -

Lingering Skills or Magic cast upon you will have a declared Time Call that will leave a lasting Effect.

An example of this would be Invisibility cast upon you, where you disappear from sight for a declared length of time.

At any one time, no Character may be under the BENEFICIAL Lingering Effects of more than ONE Mana based, ONE Prayer based and ONE Skill based source.

Durations

Each Skill will clearly state it's individual duration time. Durations means how long an active Skill may be used for,

if not canceled first.

Example~

A Character wants to use one of their daily uses of Hide in Shadows (this is the 'Cast'). It is a Level 2 Skill, and has a duration of 6 minutes (this is the Duration). The hunker down in a shady spot, with an closed fist held above their head and arm bent at 90 degrees (this is the Game Mechanic). Then, 3 minutes into the duration, they decide that they need to be seen, and so they drop the arm and hand signaling Hidden.

The Skill is now cancelled.

Despite the fact that the Skill could have lasted for 3 more minutes, it's use is now over, it's use is done, and another use of Hide in Shadows must be employed.

In short ~

The Skill determines the Game Mechanic, if that Game Mechanic then lingers, when the Game Mechanic is dropped/lowered, the Skill is instantly cancelled.

Wizard Skills

Advanced Alchemy

Races restricted - Goblin, Orc

Guilds Disallowed - Engineer, Barbarian, Mercenary, Watchman, Weapons Master, Assassin, Pirate, Thief, Trapper, Druid, Shaman,

Skill Type - Instant (though individual Effects may vary)

~~NOTE~~

Alchemy is the mixing of chemistry and lore to produce magical results. An Alchemist does not study magic nor do they know how to enchant or to add specific incantations to anything. What they do know is an endless list of natural biological ingredients (for example the classic Shakespearean potion recipe of "Eye of Newt and Toe of Frog, Wing of Bat and Tongue of Dog" from MacBeth) and superstitions (that the potion must be made under a certain light of the moon, or position of the sun, or alignment of the stars etc.) that when all of it is strictly adhered to and then everything is placed into a boiling cauldron to render down into a stock, that stock can then be filtered and bottled, and is now a magical potion. Alchemists are not Wizards nor Clerics, they are masters of chemistry and duteous students of the supernatural.

With this in mind, all Alchemy Potions must still be made according to all the rules laid down for Potion making, and those rules can be found in the Potions/Scrolls section of this Master Manual. Alchemy Potions must include a proper Base Colour and all Symbols drawn in the correct manner and colour.

Alchemy DOES NOT give the character any knowledge what-so-ever of how to read or interpret any Magic Symbols. They would not be able to decipher any other Symbol Phrase from any other source even if the Symbol Phrase is identical to a Potion the Alchemist makes all the time.

In no way does any level of Alchemy grant the skill Read Magic Symbols, the Symbols that the Alchemist must draw correctly are a game necessity, and not inner character knowledge.

~~~~~~~~

Alchemists must follow all rules for the making of Wizard Spell Potions.

Action

Exceptions to this rule are walls, structures, doors etc. Because the Astral Character is still traversing the physical plane, they must oblige by physical barriers.

Casting Spells, Prayers and Psionics from the Astral plane into the material plane is possible though. A Character in the Astral plane can use any Ability, Skill, Spell, Prayer, Rune, Circle or Psionics that has a thrown component to it, ie. thrown rice for Fear, an Ice Boulder, a Magic Net rope etc., from the Astral Plane and it is created and effects the Material Plane.

~~Special notes on the use of Dispelling Powder~~

Dispelling Powder can be used to cancel magic that is currently effecting a Target Player.

Example ~

Manfredd the Mage casts an Invisibility Spell and signals that he is Invisible. If the Manfredd gets hit with dispelling powder then the Spell is cancelled regardless of any remaining duration. A small list of some other examples of Wizard Spells that would also be affected like this by Dispelling Powder are - Astral Projection, Blind, Confusion, Deflection, Entangle, Fear, Fly, Lantern Light, Mystic Armour, Persuade, Shadow Meld, Tongues of Truth, Weapon of Wizardry, any of the Set On Spells, etc.

In the case of non permanent magical weapons/items made through Spell or Mana based magic, Dispelling Powder cancels any lingering effects of the Spell that made it ( Ensorcel Weapon, the Runik Phrase, etc. ) thereby removing the magic and returning the weapon/item back to its previous non-magical weapon/item form.

Dispelling Powder is also effective against Spell or Mana based Summoned objects as well. This includes Familiars, Demon-Spawn and Devil-Kyn (But not Summoned Monsters see below), Mystic Shields, Phylacterys, etc.

Example ~

Willard the Wizard pays Edvardier the Enchanterer to place a spell of Fly on his cloak. Gold exchanges hands and Willard walks away one flying cloak the richer. As soon as he hits the streets outside of the Enchanters shop, Williard decides to test the cloaks new power and activates a use of the spell. Little did Williard know as he was happily soaring through the streets, that the public use of magic was not allowed in this community, and a member of the Town Guard quickly sprays him with Dispelling Powder. Williard immediately, and rather ungracefully, smashes to the ground, his cloak now just a normal cloak again, his money lost and the Guard awaiting.

With permanent magic weapons/items, Dispelling Powder cancels one use of that item every time it is hit by Dispelling Powder.

Dispelling Powder vs. magically Summoned creatures -

If the creature is a direct result of a Mana based Spell cast upon them, for example Animate and Control the Dead, Peasants Death March, etc. then the Dispelling Powder removes the magic and the creature falls back to the way they were before being magically effected.

If the creature is a magically Summoned Monster through Circle Magic, the magic that has trapped it to the will of the Summoner is not in the creature itself but rather on the scroll that the Summoning Spell was written on and that is what must be Dispelled. The Summoning Scroll that controls the creature must be Dispelled within 25 feet of the creature it Summoned and the Character doing the Dispelling may wish to point at the creature he is wishing to get rid of.

Any other creature or monster that is not made through Mana based magic is immune to Dispelling Powder.

An Enchanting Example ~

Level 1 Enchantments~ Edward, an Enchanter with 8 Spells in his Spell Cycle, wishes to Enchant his robe with his favourite Spell of Fly Lv1, which costs 2 Spell Slots out of his Spell Cycle to normally cast. Edward takes off his robe and makes all appropriate Symbols on it in Blue. He then casts Fly Lv1 upon the robe (2 Spell Slots to cast) and then empowers the Symbols (1 extra Spell Slot use because the desired Level is Level 1) for 3 Spells used in total. That leaves good ol' Ed with only 5 Spells left in his Spell Cycle. He will need more than that for a night out flying in his new robe! Edward lays out a Circle of Power and sits within it and regains all 8 of his Spells back into his Spell Cycle.

Level 2 Enchantments~ Edward, the Flying Enchanter with 8 Spells in his Spell Cycle, wishes to Enchant his new favourite robe with his new favourite Spell of Fly Lv2, which costs 2 Spells out of his Spell Cycle to normally cast. Edward takes his new robe and makes all appropriate Symbols on it in Blue. He then casts Fly Lv2 (costing 2 Spell Slots) upon the robe and then activates the Symbols (1 extra Spell Slot for each Level desired, so this costs 2 extra Slots) use) for 4 Spell Slots used in total. That leaves good ol' Ed with only 4 Slots left in his Spell Cycle. He will need more than that for a night out flying in his newer and fancier robe! Edward lays out a Circle of Power and sits within it and regains all 8 of his Spells back into his Spell Cycle.

Level 3 Enchantments~ Edward, "the Soaring Eagle" Enchanter with 8 Spells in his Spell Cycle, wishes to Enchant his newest most favourite robe with his newest most favourite Spell of Fly Lv3, which costs 2 Spells out of his Spell Cycle to normally cast. Edward takes his newest robe and makes all appropriate Symbols on it in Blue. He then casts Fly Lv3 upon the robe (2 Spell Slots to cast) and then activates the Symbols (3 extra Spell Slots for a Level 3 effect) for 5 Spell Slots used in total. That leaves good ol' fancy robe Ed with only 3 Slots left in his Spell Cycle. He will need more than that for a night out soaring like an eagle in his new fancier robe! Edward lays out a Circle of Power and sits within it and regains all 8 of his Spells back into his Spell Cycle.

Exorcism

Races Restricted - None

Guilds Disallowed - Engineer, Weapons Master, Charlatan, Scribe, Shaman, Warlock, Alchemist, Psionicist

Skill Type - Instant

Action

Character must spend at least 45 seconds of meditation, chanting, preparing etc. before an Exorcism can be attempted.

Character must be in the presence of a Target Player who is:

1) Under any effect of a Mind control. This includes all variations of Curses, Persuade, Dominate and Possesion. This also includes any detrimental lingering effects on a Target Player from a Psionicist or any Psionic source.

2) In the Astral Plane.

3) A Summoned NPC\Monster or a Target Player who is presently in control of a Summoned DemonSpawn, DevilKyn, Familiar or a prepared Voodoo doll with a Lootable Body Part already attached to it.

Effect

1) For a victim of a Curse, Mind or Psionic control, the Exorcist (the Character performing the exorcism) must touch the forehead of the negatively affected Target Player. They must maintain contact and chant\pray\command the controlling force out for no less than 10 seconds. Character must then announce 'Exorcism', while still maintaining touch. The Target Player is now free from all lingering negative effects of the Curse, mind control or Psionic. An Exorcism can only be performed on others and never on one self.

2) Against Target Players in the Astral Plane, Exorcism allows Character throw rice to hit the Astral Player and announce 'Exorcism!'. If the Target Player is hit with the rice, they are immediately rejected from the Astral Plane and may not return there for 1 minute minimum. Note: Exorcism in no way allows the Exorcising Character to see into, or otherwise sense anything from the Astral Plane, but if the Character is aware, or has been made aware, of "Ghosts" amongst them, they may try an Exorcism. The rice throw must come from the Character who has the Exorcism Skill, though thier throw can be guided by others.

3) Against a Summoned Monster\NPC (a service worker) the Character must touch the Target Monster on thier forehead for no less than 10 seconds, and then announce 'Exorcism!'. The Summoned Monster\NPC is now free from the control and commands of the Summoning Character and may act and behave in any manner they choose. They do have a limited time to enjoy their new found Master-less freedom though, before the magic that brought them is exhausted and they disappear back to where they came from. This time limit is 10 minutes per level of the Summoned Monster, but in that time they may do whatever they wish including seeking revenge on the one who summoned it.

Against a DemonSpawn, DevilKyn, Familiar or a Voodoo doll with a body part attached, the Exorcising Character may throw rice and must hit the Summoned Monster\Doll. They must then announce 'Exorcism!'. The Monster summoning is now cancelled and the Summoning Player loses all bonuses and benefits of the Summoning. To regain the Summoned Monster and its benefits, the Summoning Player must repeat the Summoning process if they have a remaining per day use of the Summon Familiar Skill. In the case of an active Voodoo doll, the Body Part attached to the Voodoo doll is now ruined, and may not be used for any Voodoo effect. It must be removed and a new Body Part attached, the Exorcism effects the Body Part attached and not the doll. The doll can be refused with a new use of Create Voodoo Doll.

The Character can use Exorcism 3 times per day.

Effect
The document must be accepted as official, although it may be heavily scrutinized if it demands the bizarre or something completely out of character for the supposed "author" of the forgery.

For example - Sully's above mentioned forgery is being read by a Player with Read\Write Common Lv1. That player believes the forgery to be authentic, but because it asks to have all of that factions gold to be transferred to Sully himself, the Lv1 reader decides to get it verified. A Player with Read\Write Lv3 is found and the forgery is discovered.
In the case of Lv3 forgeries, the document must be read\inspected at the same time by TWO readers at once, and they both must possess the Read\Write Skill of the document and both at Lv3.

Skill Type - Instant (though individual Effects may vary)

~~NOTE~~

Alchemy is the mixing of chemistry and lore to produce magical results. An Alchemist does not study magic nor do they know how to enchant or to add specific incantations to anything. What they do know is an endless list of natural biological ingredients ( for example the classic Shakespearean potion recipe of "Eye of Newt and Toe of Frog, Wing of Bat and Tongue of Dog" from MacBeth ) and superstitions ( that the potion must be made under a certain light of the moon, or position of the sun, or alignment of the stars etc. ) that when all of it is strictly adhered to and then everything is placed into a boiling cauldron to render down into a stock, that stock can then be filtered and bottled, and is now a magical potion. Alchemists are not Wizards nor Clerics, they are masters of chemistry and duteous students of the supernatural.

In no way does any level of Alchemy grant the skill Read Magic Symbols, the Symbols that the Alchemist must draw correctly are a game necessity, and not inner character knowledge.

Effect

Persuading Character may not tell Target Player to kill themselves, their family, their clan or their loved ones. Nor can Persuade convince a Target Player to cause direct harm to any of those listed above. Anything else goes.

Possess

( Ultimate variation of Persuade )

Races restricted - None

Guilds Disallowed - Engineer, Scribe, Barbarian, Mercenary, Musketeer, Watchman, Assassin, Pirate, Thief, Trapper, Druid, Shaman, Warlock, Rune Master,

Skill Type - Linger

Action

Character must make eye contact and be within 5 feet of Target Player.

Character must make a fist with the index and middle finger upright and pass it between the targets victims eyes and their own and announce to that Target Player "Possession!" The Target Player must then stop and immediately enter into a combat against the Possessing Character to the first Hit Point of damage only. The Possessing Character must do 1 Hit Point of damage to the Targets Body to win the Possession. The Target must deal 1 Hit Point of damage ANYWHERE on the Possessor to stop the Possession.

If the Character attempting the Possession does not win the battle, the possession fails.

If the Possessing attempting Character wins, the victim Target Player must stay within arms reach of Possessed Target for the entire duration of the Skill.

Possessing Character must announce "You are now Possessed 1H".

Effect

The Possessing Character 'enters the body through the wound they made' and takes over total control of the Target Player.

During the entire duration, the Possessing Character is UNABLE TO BE SEEN/EFFECTED THROUGH ANY MEANS. Only the end of Possessions Duration Time Call, the death of the Target Player, or an Excorsism, will reveal the Possessing Character against their will.

Once a Target Player is possessed, they are the complete puppet of the Character controlling them and must act accordingly. If the Possessing Character is previously aware of the Targets Guild and or Skill set, the Possessor may tell the Target Player to perform any Skill, Spell, Prayer etc. that the Target Player knows, and have the Target Player use items and drink potions if they wish.

The Possessing Character must walk directly behind the Target Player (always within an easy arms reach) and direct everything that the Target Player does. The Target Player will walk only if told to and will follow all directions of the Possessor.

The Possessing Character can also talk through the Target Player by whispering into the Target Players ear what it wants them to say. The Target Player must then repeat the words exactly as told to them.

There is an anti suicide clause to being controlled by Possession that forces a new combat between the two again, a soon as the command is given, only to the first Hit Point of Damage dealt. If the Possessing Character wins, then the Target Player must respond as the Character commanded.

Being commanded to kill, not harm or hinder, but to kill a Player that the Target Player shares Clan Nature with will also force a new combat.

If the Possessing Character loses any of these secondary Combat Contests, then the possession is defeated and the Possessing Character is banished from that Player.

Target Players remember nothing of any of their actions while being possessed. The Possession leaves nothing behind but a confused victim.

Effects last for 1 hour and the Character can attempt a Possession only 1 time a day.

Details

to serve me ( name of Character ) as your lord and master!"
