Welcome to Magos Island.
An ominous piece of land floating somewhere in the middle of nowhere.
Impossible? I think not.
With the use of magic, nothing's impossible. However, magic has a price. Through the ritual to create an island, something has to inhabit it. With no intention in creating such thing, the warlock's and witch's decided to allow nature to fulfill the destiny of the inhabitants.
Nature, deciding to make the warlock's and witch's know what they've done in destroying natural creation, plants mysterious monsters on the land, corrupting the immediate area.
Nature, being so powerful, cloaks the area with it's magic. Any who decide to enter, have yet to leave.
An oracle residing in the void tells of a prophecy.
Five Prophecies will enter their home.
Bestowed upon them, the power of the unknown.
The cries of the fallen, are unheard.
Mysteries of the island, are to be discovered.
Through blood and sigils, battle’s begin.
The new, the mysterious, Magos Island.
Hey there! Welcome to the Magos Islands. Let's get down to it, shall we? I'll be going over basics, just for the heck of it.
When submitting an action, I will roll a dice to determine it's outcome.
- A [1] will result in a failed action while also making the situation worse.
- A [2] will result in a failed action.
- A [3] will result in a partially successful action.
- A [4] will result in a successful action.
- A [5] will result in a successful action while also making the situation better.
- A [6] will result in a successful action while also making the situation worse.
Also, you may not submit a repeated action.
A turn is posted when all actions have been handed in.Obviously, when an event occurs that such will harm a player, a roll will determine it's outcome. This roll will follow the outcome of the above list.
When battling an opponent, there are things you have to know.
- Swarm Rules will apply.
- If you are attacked more than once in a single turn, successive dodges have a -1 penalty. The first time you are attacked in a turn, there is no penalty; the second time, there is a -1 penalty to dodge; the third time, the penalty changes to -2 dodge; and so on. In short, the more you are attacked in a single turn, the lower your dodge will be. It encourages teaming up against difficult enemies, as well as discouraging taking on multiple enemies alone.
- Combo Rules will apply.
- When 2 or more players attack a single target, it is possible your skills can be used to create a combo attack that will deal more damage than that of a swarm attack. Of course, like the Swarm Rules, the more attacks, the more damage.
- You will know if your skill is able to combo with another skill through the description of the skill.
- When dealing damage to an opponent, the outcome of the rolls are different than that of the other list.
- A [1] will result in major damage dealt to the target and will result in a critical roll to be taken.
- A [2] will result in moderate damage dealt to the target and will result in a critical roll to be taken.
- A [3] will result in low damage dealt.
- A [4] will result in no damage dealt.
- A [5] will result in no damage dealt and low damage dealt to the attacker.
- A [6] will result in no damage dealt and moderate damage dealt to the attacker.
When venturing out into the world, you will notice crates. These will require luck rolls, and luck rolls have a different way of functioning.
- A [1] will result in nothing.
- A [2] will result in a low quality find of items.
- A [3] will result in a moderate quality find of items.
- A [4] will result in a better than moderate but worse than high quality find of items.
- A [5] will result in a high quality find of items.
- A [6] will result in a better than high quality find of items.
If you are Unconscious, whatever penalty you receive will not reduce your roll score below 2, unless stated otherwise.
If you receive a mortal wound but are not killed outright, you need to pass a roll to dodge Death at the end of every turn. Only bad rolls here will provide penalties to survival rolls.
You can spend your turn to help another player achieve his goal. If your roll is higher, it is taken as the success roll for the action.
You can also spend your turn to botch another player's action. If your roll is higher, its opposite is taken as the success roll for the action.
In both cases, individual player rolls determine what happens to the players in the course of the action.
If you don't know by now, you'll be playing as a warlock / witch. The type of power you use will be determined by yourself through a list that I will provide. Of course, they are all balanced out.
Skill progression will work though percentage. A skill will level up once it reaches 100% and gain bonus stats (if applicable) or more damage (if applicable). (Learn more in "Skills").

SkillsSkills, the fundamental part in a wizard/witch's battle.
A skill starts off at 0% which will be not shown in your information matrix.
A skill gains % after a successful roll while using it / practicing it. The rolls work like this :
- A [1] or [2] will result in a 0% skill level increase.
- A [3] will result in a 10% skill level increase.
- A [4] will result in a 15% skill level increase.
- A [5] will result in a 20% skill level increase.
- A [6] will result in a 25% skill level increase.
As your skill levels up, the amount of % skill level increase will decrease. Every skill level will decrease each skill level increase by 5%. This will continue until a [6] will result in a 5% skill level increase.
Of course, there are other unknown methods to increasing your skill level.
You can obtain a new skill through tomes or sigils.
Tomes are hidden magical books found throughout the map. They are marked with enchanted runes that when opened, will instantly grant a roll determined amount of % skill increase.
Sigils are random runes written across the floor or walls. They are harder than Tomes because in order to use them, you must decipher them. To decipher them, you must learn how to read sigils which is a skill that can be taught through reading basic sigils to harder ones. Basic Sigils are easily deciphered without knowing how to read sigils.
