((I have no damn idea. At all. I'm just randomly using it :P Though in my case, I'll be using it when Victoria talks about things related to killing things.))
"Also, you could just at as a medic since you could probably summon some medicinal substances. No need to fight or kill anything if you're against doing that."

"To be honest, people like you are just as useful as people who fight, Selina. Well. People like us, really. Technicians. Anyway, we're here." She steps out into a large, open room, the floor of which is made of what appears to be some sort of glass, softly glowing. "This place is special. Keeps you nice and charged up with magic while you're here. We're gonna train here a lot.

She and Fortuna walk out onto the field, facing each other.

"W-we're... we're going to show you... h-how things work..."

TUTORIAL MODE GO!

{Alright, so combat in this is going to be stat-based, with the stats being the following:

STR and END
DEX and AGI
MAG and SPI

Each one paired with another. Essentially, the first stat of each pair has to do with how good something is in a burst, that is, a single round. it's how much magic you can channel at once, how much you can lift, and how fast you are. The second is always useful for Extended Actions, and covers your long-term staying power.

All of these stats start at 10. For everyone.

You have twenty points to allocate throughout your stats.

There are three more stats, however, that are important for Combat specifically:

Combat, Support, and Technics.

Each skill corresponds to your ability to use that branch of magic.

These start at 1, other than your specialty, which starts at 5.

Most rolls will consist of 1d100+Base Stat+Magic Stat (If applicable).

Everyone covered so far? I'll continue on to how spells actually work in a bit.}

((Your profile, and I'll be storing them in a google doc and stuff for easy access, along with spells as you learn them. I'll also explain effects as you learn them. :P))

"Lots of ways. Reading books on magic and stuff, practicing, sparring, experimenting... to each their own, since some people learn better some ways than others."

((So if we spend most of our points on burst stats, would our character only be able to fight for a short period of time, or would they just have to alternate between fighting and resting?))

((And modified.))

Selina looks relieved that she can train without fighting, something shes never actually had the courage to do. (fight back)

((You'd pretty much be complete crap since you could spend a TON of your pools on stuff, but you simply don't have the energy for it. You need at least some balance. I'll explain the pools and how energy expenditure works here in a bit.))

"Im-im-im-improvements...? wh-wh-wh-what do you... mean...?" Selina has no idea what she means.
"I'm a Fleshwarper. Improvements are, well, improvements. Want better hearing or sight? Want to be faster, or have hidden pockets, or to get rid of an old injury? Improoovements~! And they don't have to be for you, you could get me to fix a pets health problems, or make you a custom animal!"

"what... what... what do you... um... want...?" Selina looks worried about what she might have to do with her power, and is not all that sure about the improvements...

"Well, you can trade all kinds of things. Base materials, specific parts or hard-to-find animals, tools, test subjects, various bits of equipment, food, magic and ritual supplies, whatever! Your ability sounds very versatile! Unless you meant that in terms of "what are my goals?""
"Really? I might take you up on your offer, assuming you can actually do it. Improvements sound nice."
"Sure thing! I don't work for free though, I have a lot of expenses and limited time, so it has to be worth my while!"

"I can probably scrounge something up with my abilities. Still, I'd like to see some sort of demonstration of what you can do before I go through with it."
