Magic Guidelines
ALCHEMY | Alchemy is a conversion magic. The theme of the magic is transforming one thing into another. Normally that will be from one state of matter to another, or one element to another. Some things they can do include:
- POTIONS: An alchemy mage can take some plants and magically turn them into potions or elixirs with various effects. At Novice these potions should mostly just heal wounds or energy. At C-Class and beyond they can have other effects.
- TRANSMUTATION: The mage can transmute one form of matter or element into another. This can be a complete change, or simply turning one element into another state of that element. Alchemy mage can use magic to separate and fix elements. They can also soften an element so that it can be molded into a new shape.
- BIOLOGY: Starting at C-Class Alchemy mage can produce mutations in their own bodies or the bodies of other people. Mutations in others need a duration and cannot be immediately deadly.
- MAGICAL ITEMS: Alchemist are capable of combining magic and material to create magical items. At Novice this only amounts to fixing damaged Magical Items and Vessels. However, starting at C-Class they can add attributes to Magical Items, and then at A-Class they can create Magical Items from scrap.
Allowances: Can repair Magical Items. Can transform plants into potions. Can temporarily add attributes to a magical item (permanently if the owner of the item ooc purchases the upgrade).
Restrictions: Can not manipulate and shape matter like an Elemental or Contour mage. Cannot bring back the dead or create homunculi
ARCHIVE | is a magic based on gathering, display, downloading and storing information. It is a computer based magic that can bring computer processes to the magical world. They can do some of the following:
- MAPS: An Archive mage can scan the surrounding area and create a map. Maps have varying degree of accuracy and utility as they rank up.
- SCREENS: They can create screens that display information. The screens work like computers, and can function like anything from a laptop to an Iphone.
- PROCESSING: A mage with this magic can scan things for information. They can also apply computer logic to the real world. For example, they could create a firewall that shields from spells.
- DOWNLOADING: An Archive mage can speak to others telepathically, read minds and place information into the heads at others. At Novice they can only speak telepathically, with those that give permission. D-Class can read thoughts as they come. C-Class can place thoughts into others' heads. B-Class and higher expand on this.
Allowances: Can convert things between digital/virtual and real.
Restrictions: They cannot change memories or personalities without permission from the other player.
AUGMENT | This is not a Magic Type is the normal sense. It's only listed here because it can be chosen in place of a Magic Type. While Brawlers are specialist in Hand-to-Hand or weapon fighting, characters with this in place of a Magic Type are telling other people they want to focus on an abnormality. Augments are advanced Abnormalities that blur the line between physical and magical.
- PENALTY REMOVAL: If the character is a Mage, and they have Brawler as a Magic Type, they won't have the physical ability penalty.
- ENHANCED ABNORMALITY: Abnormalities don't need an ability if they aren't useful in combat. If they are useful, they use physical ability slots. But to get abnormalities like regeneration or venom, a character needs to have this type is one of their magic types. This allows for them to use nonmagical abnormalities that may be mistaken for magical. Things like shooting venom, having a mechanical arm with a flamethrower, etc.
- CURSES: These are actually magical. If your character has had a cursed placed on them, or something similar to a curse, they may want to have an augment. These curses must be harmful or detrimental to the character, and never beneficial. But in exchange for that, they can do almost anything. If you want your character to get over their curse, or eventually use it to their advantage, you can start with this, and the curse can eventually evolve into a magic type. You would then swap out 'Augment' for a magic type.
Allowances: Advance Abnormalities, and curses that have few restrictions.
Restrictions: For most abnormalities there is a magic type that can do the same thing but better. As such, the Augment type is mostly a stepping stone, until your character can acquire those magics in their plot.
BIOKINETICS | Big word, but this magic is straightforward. This is a transformation magic that, instead of transforming a person, transforms what their body is capable of doing. Somethings these mage are capable of include:
- STRETCHING: They can stretch their bodies to astounding lengths. They can become a rubber person, more or less.
- FLATTEN: In the Fairy Tail series there is a magic that allows the caster to flatten their body so that it is like paper. This is that magic.
- SEPARATION: Starting at C-Class, these mage can remove their body parts without hurting themselves. When they do this, the point of separation becomes covered in a layer of skin. After separation they can freely place the body part back anywhere on their body. This should be used with caution.
Allowances: Can separate their bodies into pieces without being hurt.
Restrictions: Cannot change the bodies of other people. Separated body parts can only be placed back on the body if the mage did the separating. This magic doesn't
instantly heal wounds.
BRAWLER | This is not a Magic Type is the normal sense. It's only listed here because it can be chosen in place of a Magic Type. This is a specialization in the use of Physical Abilities. If a character has Brawler in place of one of their Magic Types, they are telling everyone else that their character prefers to use Weapons and Their bodies to fight.
- PENALTY REMOVAL: If the character is a Mage, and they have Brawler as a Magic Type, they won't have the physical ability penalty.
- CHAKRAS: There are seven points on the body that limit its physical potential. Brawlers, as specialist in hand-to-hand fighting, tend to learn how to remove those limiters. With each one removed, their physical stats (after buffs) are increased 10%. At each rank they unlock one more limiter starting at 1 at novice, and then 5 at A-Class. At S-Class they can unleash the last two. The duration is always 4 turns though. When the duration is up the character sustains 15% damage for every limiter removed. It's fatal if all 7 are removed.
Allowances: Can specialize in the use of physical abilities. Can have innates physical buffs at Novice. Can remove limiters.
Restrictions: If they have a Magic Type (Are a mage), their magic supply is halved compared to a normal mage.
CARD | Card Magic is a Holder Type Magic that uses Cards as a Medium. The cards themselves can reflect playing cards, tarot cards or even trading card games. Features of this magic include:
- TRAPS: A mage with this magic can have cards that are placed face down somewhere. If someone passes within a certain distance of them, they will be triggered and apply a magical effect..

- EMPOWER: Runes can be applied to a person or object to apply a buff of some kind. Turning a sword into a flaming sword, or making a person water-proof are examples.
- LINK: At and beyond B-Class they can use runes to bind two (or more) people or two (or more) locations. Binding a desert location with a meadow location may make the meadow warmer. Binding two people can force them to share feelings, damage or effects.
Allowances: Can link two or more people or locations together. Runes can have an effect that occurs if the rune is drawn wrong. That effect can be how the rune backfires.
Restrictions: A person who is linked to another cannot stab themselves to kill the other person. Rune effects should end if a Rune is erased or changed.
SANGUINE | Sanguine as in blood red in color; blood. This is a staple magic for those that want to be vampires, and it is the closest magic to Dragon Slayer, in a way. These mage can:
- MANIPULATE BLOOD: Their own, the blood of animals and, if it's no longer touching the owner, the blood of other people. These mage can manipulate and shape blood, like Material Mage do with their materials.
- FEEDING: These mage can drink blood to restore their magic.
- AUGMENT: B-Class and higher Sanguine mage can give their blood a single unusual property. That property should be the same throughout the Sanguine spell arsenal, for all abilities with unusual properties. An example would be an ability to combust blood.
Allowances: Can feed on [others'] blood for energy.
Restrictions: Cannot control blood in or on the bodies of other people. Cannot control blood that has dried up.
SEIDR | Seidr mage utilize souls to strengthen themselves, objects and others. They befriend spirits, and those spirits in turn aid them:
- SIXTH SENSE: A Seidr mage is capable of seeing and speaking with ghost. This does not require an ability.
- BUFFING: They can buff themselves, object and others by placing souls into what they are buffing. The buff will be appropriate for what soul was used. Before C-Class the buffs should be physical or give the target skills. After that, the buffs can materialize things like the claws of a tiger, the shell of a turtle, etc.
- MANIPULATE: Seidr can control non player animals through manipulating their souls.
Allowances: Can control animals. Can attack Possession mage as if they were unphased, while they are phased.
Restrictions: Two souls can occupy the same space, but it will cause a person harm, and if it is done too long or too often, the target's soul may be damaged. Possession Mage can grab and kidnap their spirits.
SENSORY | See no evil. Hear no evil. Taste no evil. Sensory magic is one that works with the senses. A person who uses this magic will choose one of the five senses, and their spells will add properties to that sense.:
- CHOICE: If you choose this magic, you will have to choose one of the five senses (Sight, Hearing, Taste, Smell and Feeling). That will be the sense that your abilities work with. You may have this magic as your first and second magic, totaling two senses.
- ATTRIBUTES: Sensory magic is a general magic. You can add properties to your chosen sense as you see fit. You could make your character's tongue acidic, or give them X-ray vision. It's really up to you. But if you have abilities that are like another magic type, check out the guidelines for that magic type.
Allowances: You are free to apply unusual attributes to one or two of the five senses.
Restrictions: You have to work with one of the five senses. Other senses (Balance, Location, Sense of Time) can be used, too, but they aren't recommended.
SHIFT | This magic can be considered a transformation mage's take on Elemental or Contour magic. That is because Shift mage specialize in turning their body into some element or material. They can also turn into objects. Referencing the series, Juvia's Water Shift and Block magic both would fall into this magic type:
- CHOICE: When you choose this magic type, you need to make a choice: what are you shifting into? You can choose an element like fire, or a subject like blocks, or a larger theme like accessories. Whatever you choose, you cannot transform into everything.
- ELEMENTAL SHIFT: If you shift into an element or material, you will only do a partial shift at novice. That means at novice you can only shift up to two limbs, or four limbs at D-Class. At C-Class you will be able to do a full body shift. These limits are here because you can also do..
- ELEMENTAL SHIFT MAKE: With Elemental Shift you get the ability to 'Make.' Elemental Make refers to shaping an element or material into some shape or object. With Elemental Shift Make you could shift your iron arms into a sword, or your stone legs into a stand.
- ITEM FORM: A Shift mage can also shift into a type of item or object, or items within a theme. What they can do in these forms can include all sorts of things, but it must make sense for the form. For example, a block form could move the blocks around to build various things while turning into a magical item could have general effects like a magical item.
Allowances: You can shift into elements or materials. You can also separate your body while it's shifted, but you will not be able to shift back while you are separated.
Restrictions: Damage will still be sustained if you are hit directly. If you shift into light or darkness, or something similar, you will still be tangible. You cannot shift into everything.
SIZE | If you are looking for Titan Magic, from the series, this is it. Size magic is a transformation magic wherein the mage will partially or fully increase their size or the size of an object:
- TITAN: Before C-Class a size mage can increase the size of an object, or a limb. After C-Class, they can do a full body size increase. Lower ranks should not become too large with this.
- REDUCTION: The same specifications as Titan, but the mage will decrease the size instead.
Allowances: Can grow or shrink spells owned by other people, as long as they are the same rank or lower. Can grow or shrink a duration of a spell, with a spell, by one turn.
Restrictions: Cannot increase or decrease the size of another person without their permission, and not until full size changes are allowed.
SPEED | This is a magic that is all about making things move faster. Faster and faster, where it stops, nobody knows. Just watch out for the ice:
- SPEEDING: Physical Attacks, Projectiles, People, Objects, these mage can speed things up. Refer to the running buff guidelines
- PHASING: At A-Class they are capable of vibrating their bodies so fast that they move through solid matter.
Allowances: They can have innate physical buffs. They can perform a shunpo (quick movement from one place to another), but this requires an ability.
Restrictions: If they are running, and not shunpoing, they can't immediately stop. They have to slow down first.
SUMMONING | A magic that transports a supernatural entity across long distances, interdimensionally, or possibly even from within the user him/herself; there are a lot of different methods, but all result in the same outcome:
- MAGICAL POWER: Summons use the magical power of their summoner for their spells. If the summon/summoner isn't careful, the summoner in question will become exhausted. Magical power recovers over time, outside of combat.
- SUMMONS: You may only be bound to one summon.
- TELEPATHY: Through the connection between Summoner and Summon, they may communicate telepathically with one another, even if they aren't summoned. Doesn't require a spell.
- UN-SUMMONED STATE: A summon may assume a metaphysical form where they're in company of the Summoner, but incapable of being perceived and are otherwise intangible; cannot attack unless summoned. Doesn't require a spell.
Allowances: Summons spells are based off of one of the listed magic types. Summons can be out indefinitely, although their spells retain CDs and durations.
Restrictions: Summon can only be summoned near the summoner. If the Summoner dies, so does the Summon.
SUPPORT | Like the name suggests, this is a purely supportive magic. These mage are skilled in applying buffs, creating shields and healing allies:
- HEALING: They are capable of performing long or short range heals or ailment removal
- BUFFING: While they are not healing or removing ailments, they are capable of buffing their allies
- LIFE SWAP: At A-Class They can trade health with another person. By that we mean that they trade wounds. Save a life and lose a life

Restrictions: Healing spells cannot be offensive.
SYSTEM | Mage with magic type utilize an item, usually a lacrima, that is pinned to a data network. That item has an AI that will aid the mage, but they can also activate the magic inside the item. The item will gear them in a new outfit with a weapon, and the weapon and outfit can change 'modes.':
- PHASE ONE: At Novice the mage can only activate phase one. In this phase the outfit, item and magic follow a single attribute. That attribute can be something like an element, a magic type or something vague like flight.
- PHASE TWO: Phase two can be gotten at C-Class. The difference from phase one is that there are two attributes.
- SPECIAL: At A-Class, the mage gets a special skill that utilizes their weapon and magical power. This is usually a powerful or complex skill.
Allowances: Outfit and weapon can swap between modes, or be summoned and unsummoned. Have access to an AI that may or may not learn from and memorize events.

TAKE OVER | This is a transformation magic that turns a caster into an animal, beast or demon they have defeated. Take Over mage divide their abilities among their forms. They do not need abilities if a form has wings or gils to fly and breathe underwater, respectively. They also don't need abilities to let their claws/fangs/spikes to deal damage.
- ARRANGEMENT: You have abilities, and you have forms. You can add a section to the profile for your forms, if you want. Take Over abilities are like those of any other magic type, but you will distribute them among your Take Over forms. Physical buffs can be distributed to multiple forms.
- ANIMAL TAKE OVER: Based on any creature that can be found in the real world. Animal Take Overs typically have physical skills for abilities.
- BEAST TAKE OVER: Any nonmagical creature that isn't an animal. If a beast take over is gotten before C-Class, the mage won't be able to control it.
- DEMON TAKE OVER: Any evil and magical creature. If one of these is gotten before A-Class, the demon take over will be like another personality. Not only that, but every time it is used, the mage will be corrupted more.
- FANTASY TAKE OVER: Any other magical creature. If one of these is gotten before A-Class, with each use the Take Over mage will slowly become more and more like the creature, until they permanently change into it.
Allowances: Can transform into a variety of defeated creatures, and use abilities fitting for them that may range among magic types. Do not need an ability to fly or breathe water if they have wings or gils, respectively. Do not need an ability to give damage to claws/fangs/spikes. Can have small physical buffs without abilities, outside of combat.
Restrictions: Cannot use the allowances of other magic types. Take Over has a 2 turn Cooldown between all Take Overs. A Novice character can only start with animal take overs.
TIME | In contrast to the Gravity mage who control space, there are Time Mage who control time. At lower ranks it may not seem like much, but later on they are powerful mage:
- LEVITATION: By moving an object through its potential positions in time, a time mage can make an object levitate. The weight of the object(s) should not exceed the magical weight lifting weight for the rank.
- TIME CONTROL: At Novice a Time Mage can manipulate the time of objects. That allows them to turn objects into what they could be, or into dust. Changes like these should last for a duration, before they revert back. They can also rewind wounds.

Restrictions: A Time Mage cannot pull their selves or others from other time lines and gang up on someone. They cannot get some through time magic that would never exist--These mage manipulate time, not dimensions or possibilities.
TRANSFORMATION | Transformation magic is a field of magic that specializes in transforming people. As the main transformation magic, there is a lot that this magic type can do ranging from altering traits to turning people into complete others things. Some things you could do include:
- TRAITS: Traits are aspects of a character including hair color, eye color, physique, blood type, gender, etc. A Transformation mage can change the traits of consenting targets before C-Class and the traits of nonconsenting targets starting at C-Class.
- TRAITS 2: Personality traits can be changed, but we must emphasize that you have to get the permission of the other member before you start warping their characters' personality traits.
- FORM: A transformation mage can change theirself or others into other creatures or even objects. This is not like Shift Magic or Take Over where the target will receive extra abilities, but they can get temporary and simple buffs from their forms.
- ABSTRACTIONS: Starting at B-Class these mage are capable of performing abstract transformations. An abstract transformation would be like transforming a person's luck, or the outcome of an event.
Allowances: Can transform personality traits and abstract traits. Transformations can be permanent if they are used on consenting targets, or they are C-Class or higher physical trait transformations.
Restrictions: Need ooc permission to change a character's personality.
VESSEL USER | A Character cannot start out as a Vessel User. They can list it on their profile, but until they complete a Dungeon, they will be treated like a Holder Mage. Vessel Users are characters that have completed Dungeons and received a Metal or Household Vessel.
- HOLDER: If a character had Holder Magic before receiving a Vessel, they will be changed to Vessel Users. A Vessel User can still collect other items like Holder Magic.
- LIMIT: There is a maximum of 3 Metal Vessels per character. But there is no limit on the number of Household Vessels
- VESSEL: A Djinn will be placed into an item that is prized by the mage. From the start, the character will be able to shift the item to look more like the Djinn's weapon, and produce magical abilities fitting of the Djinn.
- PARTIAL DJINN REQUIP: This is allowed starting at C-Class. The item will be transformed into a perfect replica of the Djinn's weapon(s). The user will be capable of producing more complex examples of the Djinn's power. Also, they will be able to absorb and be charged by spells that match the Djinn's element (Fire spells recharge a Fire Djinn).
- FULL DJINN REQUIP: At A-Class the character can transform into what looks like a fusion of the Djinn and the user. They will have access to all of the Djinn's powers.
- EXTREME MAGIC: This is a single ability that can be purchased at A-Class, after getting a Full Djinn Requip. The ability takes the shape of some cataclysmic event. A massive flood, a rain of fireballs, a gigantic meteor. These spells will usually hit everything below the user, and up to miles in diameter. There should be a long cooldown on these, and when they are used the character will be knocked out of the Full Djinn Requip.
Allowances: Can use Djinn. Have access to Extreme Magic later on, which are powerful spells that are usually much stronger than spells of the same rank.
Restrictions: Need to complete a Dungeon to receive this magic. Other Magic Types cannot be used at the same time that a Djinn Requip is used, or the Djinn spells and Magic Type spells may not come out right.
Extra: If a Djinn Vessel is broken, the Djinn can be moved to a new item. The character just needs to bond with an item enough that it's more prized than the Vessel item.
WRITING | Words and letters are the weapons these mage use. A Writing mage will write something somewhere, and something will result from it. There are three types of Writing Magic:
- SOLID SCRIPT: The only form of writing magic that doesn't require something to be written on. The mage will write a word in the air, and that world will be manifested. The word will take its definition literally, so writing fire will result in the word 'Fire' appearing in the air, and on fire.
- FREE STYLE: The Writing mage will use a utensil and write something on a surface. What they write can happen. 'There was rain.' Will make it rain.
- STORY: At B-Class and higher, a Writing mage can write a story, and as they write it, it will come to life.
Allowances: The freedom to be creative [No really, there is a lot of potential here].
Restrictions: If a word is replaced, a spell will be impacted. So, if a story has a part where an anvil falls on someone, and someone erases that part, the anvil will disappear.
