Mini RPG It's time to build a kingdom...

Hm... it makes it difficult...
Well, I'll send some as soon as I come back to the village.

 

No need, I won't stay here much longer. I will return to my village soon.

 

Just a note, association headquarters are near Luck's Library lol.
Infact, it actually uses the empty space around it lol

 

I'm on the other side of the continent *shed tears*
OOC: We need a map, I think. Else, I can't non-magically travel there... and I guess there's no portals yet.

 

*Pats back*
Well, I'll go do some more research on mana and write a basic book on how it work first, I guess.

 

*wipes tears*
*gives a distant head chop*

 

*finishes writing book on dragon taming*
*locks in restricted library*

 

*chops both heads*
Quote it on the main!

 

Damnit its my thread e.e

Can't you delete it yourself?

 

can't.

 

There always is the report method, although that may be a bit excessive.

 

Yea why is it on the main ???

 

To not clutter

 

I can bomb a small village but this kingdom is too big to bombard

 

It is done...
I am proud of this lol

Spoiler: Magic and Mana for Dummies

Hello there reader, where ever you may be.
By some circumstance, whether you just asked a friend with the book, or you escaped from a bandit camp with this book somehow in tow, you now are reading this book.

The purpose of this book is to educate those unknowledged in the art of magic on the rudimentary basics of it, and hopefully lead them down the amazing and wonderful path of magic!

Otherwise, this is of no use for the knowledgable readers, if not just for a bit of reference and misunderstanding dispelling.
Without futher delay, lets get into it!

What is magic?
Magic is a skill that allows one to harness a energy called mana to create changes in the world, whether it be a simple mana ball or disassembling the world itself.
Mana
One of the main driving forces of magic, is of course, mana
Mana is a all encompassing 'neutral' force that surrounds us and can be manipulated, throught various means.
It the cause of all supernatural things in the world, and some have speculated our world runs on mana itself: without mana, our world might perish.
There are two prime types of mana in this world
1. Generated mana
2. Natural mana
Generated mana is mana that is naturally produced by all living beings. It is usually created and circulated in the being, but there may be various exceptions.
Natural mana is mana that is generated naturally by the world over a period of time. It can generate anyway, although the location might differ in mana regeneration rate, capacity, or if it is even receptive to mana.

Types of magic
There are many types of magic in this world, in fact possibly infinite, but there are 2 main types of magic
1. Caster Magic
2.Medium Magic

Caster Magic is what it is: Magic that is casted by the user directly.
The user might draw mana from himself, or gather mana from the surroundings, but its always the same: the user uses is body to manipulate mana
It is speculated that living beings themselves are amongst the most receptive and conductive of magic.

Medium Magic on the other hand, is a indirect type of magic.
This usually relys less of pure mana, but rather indirect mediums to manipulate mana and invoke spells.
One such example is @Quaesitor 's Blood Rituals, which instead of using pure mana, uses blood, to be more specific the essense of life they have, to generate energy (mana) and create whatever is the result.

Using Magic
Now, you know the basics of magic. But how do you harness it, you wonder?
Well, thankfully, this book also contains some simple guidelines on harnessing the power of mana.
As for more advanced techniques, you might have to contact your local MA Branch or a certified Mage, or maybe you can experiment and create your own path, who knows?
But firstly, one must know that experimenting with mana recklessly is VERY dangerous. When experimenting with mana, always be aware of the following guidelines.
1. Use only what you need.
Don't use excess amounts of mana, for if you do so, in the event of a incident, the reprecussions will most definitely be worser.
2. Concentrate and keep your attention on your magic at ALL times.
First, concentration will naturally help you in casting your magic.
Secondly, if you keep your sense on your magic, you are more likely to be able to sense the first sign of danger if you accidently make a mistake when experimenting, and you could immediately correct the mistake if you can, OR use the nessesary procedures to dispel the magic, OR if worse comes to worse, attempt to release it safely.
3. One step at a time.
One doesn't simply go from hurling mana balls directly to hurling mana nukes. Not matter what you do, remember research is a long-term project and that rome was not built in one day.
Measure your steps, if you stride too far you might fall (and die)
Now, that you know the 3 safety guidelines, here are the those on manipulating mana
1. Carm the mind, body and soul. Studies have shown it is easier to cast magic when relaxed, and its much safer considering its your first time tapping into such a powerful energy.
2. Now that you are relaxed, reach throughout your body for that 'feeling' , or to be more specific, the feeling of the mana in your body. Nobody can describe the feeling, not at long, as studies have shown, only you yourself can instinctively feel it.
3. Now that you have the feeling, draw on it. Start moving it around, manipulating it, take small steps and slowly ease yourself into it.
4. You know have rudimentary knowledge on manipulating mana!
You can definitely perform basic mana techniques, such as mana circulating, but as for more advanced techniques, again, refer to above authorities, or you could experiment!

You have reached the end of this book. I have no idea whether you enjoyed every bit of the book or just are snoring away at this point, but I hope this will help you in understanding a bit more about magic and mana even if you don't know how to manipulate them themselves.

If this has helped you on the pathway of the art of magicraft, then I welcome you with open arms in it, whether you be a simple dabbler or obssessed with it.

Have a nice day, no matter where you be!
