(Note: Additional mechanics are limited to one sentence per action, though a second may be used to clarify points (ex. Lord Goat defining what the effect for each type of magic is). Further sentences past the limit will be cut.)

News
"...thank you for that report on the weather, Andrainov.
In other news, the first two games are going to be coming soon, one each from the companies 'Seeker Corps' and 'Psychotic Rampage Incorporated'. Seeker Corps is releasing what they term an 'item find' game called 'Seeker'. It is expected to be priced around ten dollars. The other game is one that has started to come under a lot of controversy for its name, 'Mushroom Torture'. With the end of the War of Independence, this game is coming under fire for its apparent belligerent disregard for being so apparently uncaring about the usage of Torture by the Dark Emperor, especially as it is being released under a genre called 'Comedy', the name of the company not helping its case. This is leading to a growing movement against the 'gaming' industry, a movement being supported by several major companies, with Vin Malvio being one of the more vocal supporters.
We go now to one of the protests occurring in one of the few chains that decided to pick up the game..."

The magic types now have different side effects. Fire magic inflicts burning damage which deals additional damage over time. Fire magic can also be used to destroy barriers of ice. Ice magic slows down your opponents. Ice magic can also be used to construct barriers. Electric magic allows the player to damage an opponents ability to cast spells. In addition, it has a chance of stunning the opponent.

Non-player Interaction Opportunities
(People who aren't playing as a company are able to write something akin to a short story that can affect the game. Players cannot write these. Amount of opportunities is variable depending upon the turn. Most can only be taken once, but later on there will be some subjects that can be written about more than once. These will be indicated by a counter before the description. These may be claimed, but if there isn't at least some basic idea put up (you can flesh out the detail more afterwards) within three hours, the claim is invalidated.)
Protest <What occurs at the protests? Do things spiral out of control into a riot or remain calm?>
Other <I can't think of everything, so you can suggest something else. If confirmed, you can write one for the subject suggested.>
