-Mana System-

Mana is the catch-all term used for magical energy that powers spells. Mana can end up present in a variety of forms but has decently set limits for how much a spell costs and how much mana a person has.

When it comes to casting spells, it costs a number of Mana equal to double the affinity level used to cast it. So if a spell is cast at Affinity 6 then it will cost 12 mana to cast.

When it comes to Mana, how much a person has is dependent on what they are and what their highest affinity is. Take the number of the highest affinity and apply a multiplier to it based on what you are.

-Mage: 50x
-Champion: 100x
-Avatar: 125x
-God: 150x
-Primal: 200x
-Bahamut/Tiamat:350x
-Arcanus/Harmony: 500x

This determines your starting mana pool as a number somewhere between 20 and 1000. This is not the limit to mana however as you are able to train additional mana. Every 500 words you can gain an additional 5 mana up to a max of 50 additional mana.

In regards to spells with tables to show varying strengths within the spell itself, if it's not specified how much mana is being spent, this is implied that the affinity for the spells on the table would match up to the affinity of the mage at maximum. If a spell has a base of 1 affinity but can go up to 10, and the mage is using it as a affinity 5 spell, it will use mana as if it was an affinity 5 spell.

-Health-

Similar to the Mana system, the health system is important in combat situations. In regards to health, how much a person has is dependent on what they are and what their highest affinity is. Take the number of the highest affinity and apply a multiplier to it based on what you are.

-Mage: 10x
-Champion: 13x
-Avatar: 15x
-God: 20x
-Primal: 25x
-Bahamut/Tiamat: 50x
-Arcanus/Harmony: 75x

Additional health can be gained with temporary health draughts that boost your total HP by a multiplier or by doing 500 word endurance trainings to get another 10 points and capping at +100 points. You cannot bulk train these.

You do not need to personally calculate these, it’s really for those modding a bounty. We won't stop you if you really want to though.

Note: Elements that cancel each other out deal double damage unless the target performs a spell of the opposing element at the same affinity level, making damage equal 0.

-Resistances-

All users are able to resist or tolerate certain aspects when it comes to encounters and combat. While it is not required, if you want to test your luck on resistance, you may roll a 1d100 die* in the roll topic. These can be buffed up with the use of items and blessings or debuffed with items or curses, which will be applied to rolls. Each roll is in effect per round, meaning that when it is your turn again, you may roll for resistance if the effect is still in play. If you choose not to roll, resistance is turned into a 50-50 chance of passing or failing.

Additional resistance debuffs:
>Gods: 20%
>Primals: 25%
>Arcanus: 25%
>Tiamat/Bahamut: 37%
>Harmony: 50%
