Basics

All of the powers that can be learned can be viewed on this page. All of the basic skills (such as Elemental and Others (Basic)) can be learned at any pace and in any order the players want their character to learn them in. The Guilds have full lists of the abilities that can be unlocked so seeing something that interests them and focusing on that is totally possible.

Every character learns at different speeds, though, so there's really no set "You should have learned x amount of abilities by this time" in place. Have fun! Develop your characters' abilities how you feel most comfortable with! We only ask that no one automatically insta-learn everything, no matter how good they are in magic otherwise and take their time enjoying their characters learning new skills.

Elements

Every season has its own element and a set of powers. However, the other elements are eventually learned in a cycle (creation and manipulation only).

Once all elements are unlocked in said cycle, characters can learn one additional elemental ability of all of the other elements (for ex. "Flight" from Wind or "Lava" from Fire).

A character can only learn new elements once all their original powers' abilities have been learned (including the non-elemental ones).

The cycles:

Winter: Wind -> Fire -> Earth
Spring: Fire -> Earth -> Water
Summer: Earth -> Water -> Wind
Autumn: Water -> Wind -> Fire

Advanced means skills that you can start learning after being three months in the game. After learning the first you can learn a new skill every other month. Take slightly more energy than the basic ones. (Adv. Elemental is included in these!)
Highly Advanced means skills that you start learning after over half of the Advanced skills have been learned. These skills also take a lot more energy the basic ones. Learned every other month as well.

Magical Energy

All of the powers use a certain type of magical energy inside of a character that gets added as they enter the game. This power is different from anything they might have had before and doesn't get affected by characters' natural powers. The mechanic of "touch" is what can balance this energy and give it more strength. It can also restore it in small amounts, but eating and resting will restore it to full a lot quicker. Characters can run out of the energy while using their powers, making them powerless or dependent on their own canon abilities.

Magical energy ≠ Touch energy. Touch energy can help restore and strengthen magical one slightly, but losing one's magical energy does not turn someone into stone. Being low on magical energy does make characters feel temporary tired, but that feeling passes over time, unlike with touch energy where you need to touch someone to start feeling more energetic again.


Emotions

Each Season has a set of emotions that make their powers stronger. They're especially powerful if they're genuine and not "acted" but even acting works as a booster when needed.

Descriptions [ Click to Expand ]

All descriptions are basic examples of what the powers can do. They're the originally thought process that went into them when the powers were decided. If you have used them differently, or plan to do so, that is completely allowed. We encourage you to be creative with the powers as long as you don't try to break the game.

Basic Abilities

Name	Description	Extra Notes
Water Manipulation	Manipulate existing bodies of water. Does not change the water temperature, just controls the shape and how it moves. Able to draw water out of plants/trees.	Able to lift water in the air and hold it there.
Water Creation	Create water. Usually freshwater, but salt water can be learned as well with additional magical focus.	Able to levitate created water in the air.
Mist	Turn water in the air into a vision obscuring mist. Can also be used as a way to make rooms damper where necessary. Mist usually remains cool in temperature.
Steam	Turns water into scorching hot steam, great for melting things or hurting enemies.
Redirect Moonlight	Use existing moonlight and direct it to places where the moonlight doesn't reach. Great for blinding enemies or increasing the light amount around the area.
Repair Items	Repairs items without needing extra tools. Gets more powerful over practice, but the limit will always be repairing a full dining table from scratch. Works less well on materials that are sturdier, such as metal or precious gems.	Requires physical contact.
See in the dark	Lets the user see everything clearly in total darkness.	Passive ability
See spirits/ghosts	The ability to see native spirits and ghosts and communicate with them more easily because of that.	Passive ability.

Advanced Abilities

Name	Description	Extra Notes
Breathe underwater	Lets the user breathe water instead of air without creating gills. Lasts between half an hour to two hours, depending on how much magical energy the person has.
Ice	Turn water into ice (without bodies of water around, uses water in the air for the ice). User will be able to control the shape of the ice and even hover it for a while before using it.
Ice Armor	Covers the whole body or parts of it in sturdy ice. The armor doesn't feel as cold for the user, but if the armor is given to anyone else, it will definitely feel chilly.	Does not require "Ice" to be learned first, but the Ice Armor can be manipulated with the "Ice" ability.
Temperature control: cold	Controls the temperature around the user, making it feel either less or more cold. The temperature can't go above +5 celcius/41 degrees Fahrenheit. Also helps regulate the user's own body temperature, making them able to withstand cold atmosphere better or making them cooler in the warmer climates.	May make the user feel cold to touch.
Create own moonlight	Create a beam of light that resembles the moonlight. Works especially well on monsters that are weak to the moon, but otherwise useful as a light source or as a way to blind enemies.	The source of the light beam is usually from users' hands.
Manipulate darkness	User is able to manipulate darkness and shadows as an element. Very useful for obscuring enemies' vision, but can also be used as a physical attack. The shadows/darkness can be manipulated into physical objects, for example; as hands to grab things. Requires the presence of shadows or existing darkness.	Darkness and shadows are considered similar elements. Does not work on "Dark Energy" that's around the Segments.
Shadow traveling	The ability to jump from one shadow to another, using them as a quick way to travel. User can remain in the shadows long enough to find the one they want to emerge from, no matter how small the shadow is. The longer the stay in the shadows the harder it will be to come back.	The act of jumping into a shadow is just simply stepping on a shadow and focusing.
Spirit Exorcism	Help spirits and ghosts pass onto afterlife without needing a ritual that happens once a year. Malevolent spirits can be forced into moving on but friendly ones need to consent to being sent off.

Highly Advanced Abilities

Name	Description	Extra Notes
Create void pocket	Void pockets are a way to hide completely. No one can pick the characters' presence or scent through it. It feels like floating in dark space and lasts up to ten minutes.
Freeze movement	Keeps the target frozen to their spot as long as eye contact is kept. The target cannot even blink their eyes to escape the hold, but if the user blinks, the target may be able to escape.
Repair whole buildings	No matter how large the damage to a building, repair all the basic damage done to the structures of it. Does not change how the building originally looks.	Requires physical contact.

Basic Abilities

Name	Description	Extra Notes
Wind manipulation	Manipulate existing winds. Controls the direction of the wind and what shape it takes, but can't be manipulated into "sharp" wind.
Wind creation	Create gusts of wind. It's a cold breeze by default, but the user will be able to manipulate it to be a warmer.
Razor sharp wind	The ability to manipulate air into sharp enough gusts to cut down trees - and with practice even rocks.	The gusts may glow when being used as blades.

Boost stats	Gives the user themselves or anyone else a boost in defense, attack, magical power and speed. Can also be used to boost just one of the stats for less use of magical energy.

Make plants grow/bloom faster	Help plants grow faster into their full glory. Seeds will turn into seedlings, seedlings into mature plants, flowers will bloom and so on. Multiple uses needed to bring a seed into a full grown plant with this ability.	Only makes tree leaves grow faster, not trees themselves.

Advanced Abilities

Name	Description	Extra Notes
Fast travel	Much like fast travel in MMO's - user just think of a place they've visited before and then they "jump" there from wherever they are. May make the user feel dizzy at first until they get used to it. User is less likely to feel dizzy the shorter the traveled distance is. Doesn't work inside.	Max. distance is from one end of the Segment to another (~a week's worth of travel of foot).

Lighter on feet	Makes jumping higher easier and even lets the user control how long the jump lasts by floating slightly.	Passive ability.
Messages in the wind	Carries users' voice far away on the wind. The more the skill is practice the further the message goes and with full control over the ability the user will be able to make the message only reach certains ears.	The message cannot be recorded.
Create non-living things from paper	The user can create anything they set their minds to with paper. The bigger the thing they wish to make to more paper they need. This object cannot be alive or act as if it's alive, unless it's enhanced with magic.	Requires physical contact.
Grow entire trees	Grow an entire tree from start to full growth as long as the user has a seed of the tree at ready.	Also works on acorns, nuts etc.
Lift curses from others	The ability to heal someone who is cursed. Healing something more complex like a "werewolf curse" takes multiple (3) people of the same ability.
More advanced healing	The ability to heal even bigger wounds and injuries. The user is able to even heal fractures and broken bones and even most of internal damage when given time to do so. The ability to temporary null someone's pain also comes with this ability.	Can be used on themselves.

Highly Advanced Abilities

Name	Description	Extra Notes
Create animals from clay	Create living, breathing animals from clay. The bigger the animal they wish to create the more clay they will need. The animals do not come with special abilities and they cannot be mythical beings or combinations of different animals.	Requires physical contact.
Heal someone back to health from near death	The ability to heal someone who has suffered fatal injuries back to full health.	This ability cannot be used on theirself.

Basic Abilities

Name	Description	Extra Notes
Earth manipulation	Manipulate the earth/soil/rocks. The user is able to crack the ground or fix the cracks with their powers and dig without tools.	Able to lift pieces of earth in air and keep them there.
Earth creation	Create earth/soil/rocks and have complete control over it.	Able to levitate pieces of earth in the air.
Move unmovable objects	The ability to move something that has been deemed "unmovable" like rock formations that have been stuck on earth or even small mountains. The bigger the thing the more magical energy it takes.
Seismic sense	User can sense movement by touching the ground and determine how far something is or how many are approaching the place they're in.
Ask any animals for small favors	The user can ask animals for favors. If the favor seems impossible to do, the animals won't even attempt it. The smaller the favor the more likely they will help out. Baby animals are harder to persuade into anything because of their short attention span.	Does not let them understand animal talk, but they will have a vague understanding of if the animal will help or not.
Controlled Insomnia	Character is able to go on for days without sleeping with no consequences. The max. is 3 full days or 70 hours.
Telepathy with one person (one way)	A one way connection to another person's mind. Starts of as a very small distance, like across a standard size two-sided highway. With practice and with the character getting more magical energy reserves, the distance will grow. The maximum distance is around 3 miles / 2 kilometres. This is achieved at the earliest in three months - around the time characters start learning advanced skills. The use of magical energy says roughly the same no matter the distance. The user can also send "what they see" to others, but it takes more magical energy.
Block sounds (self)	The ability to completely block all sounds, basically making themselves deaf for a while. Great for when you need a moment to be in peace.	Lasts for a max. time of 5 hours per ability use.

Advanced Abilities

Name	Description	Extra Notes
Absolute Balance	Character cannot be knocked off balance by anything.	Passive ability.
Act as Lightning Rod	The ability to draw all electric magic and natural lightning to the user and neutralize it. Cannot redirect the current otherwise.	May change the users' eyes into glowing yellow for a while after being struck.
Earthquakes	Create tremors through the ground, big enough to shatter the ground and shake everything in close vicinity. Works anywhere there's ground underneath (so even under snow or under concrete).
Wood/Metal manipulation	The ability to manipulate wood and metal into different shapes and use them as projectiles through air. Can be used to sharpen either into weapons or the other way around.
Create a small space where no sounds reach	The ability to create a space large enough to fit four others that blocks sounds. Good for blocking sound based attacks or letting people have a peaceful moment together in silence.	Lasts for a max. of 5 hours. The people inside can leave, but no one else can enter the space.
Dreamwalking	The user is able to observe a dream of another, without being able to interfere.	Requires physical contact.
Make food items ripen faster	The user can turn a completely or partially raw food item and make it ripe enough to eat. If used on an already ripe item it will turn overripe.
Telepathy with a small group of people (one way)	A one way connection with a group of people. Starts of as a very small distance, like across a standard size two-sided highway. With practice and with the character getting more magical energy reserves, the distance will grow. The maximum distance is around 3 miles / 2 kilometres. This is achieved at the earliest in three months. The longer distance you use for a group the faster magical energy depletes. The user can also send "what they see" to others, but it takes more magical energy.

Highly Advanced Abilities

Name	Description	Extra Notes
Astral projection	The user is able to leave their body, projecting an astral version of themselves onto the world. Their body is left in a protective barrier while the projection is out. The astral projection can be seen by those who see spirits and ghosts, but not by anyone else. Great for spying.	The user can spend a maxim. of 6 hours outside their body before they're forcefully dragged back by the magic.
Dream Manipulation	The user is able to manipulate the dream of another and participate in it.	Requires physical contact.
Hypnotic suggestion	The ability to make others do things for them by giving them small suggestions. If what the person is asked to do fights against all they believe in, they're less likely to obey the suggestion. The more vulnerable someone's mind is the easier it will be to use the ability on them.

Animal Transformations

Each season has their own additional skill tree called Animal Transformations. This skill tree is something characters (or players) can opt out of or pick up at any point of the game. Each season has their own set of animals.
