POINT USAGE - WISHES

Once you have accumulated points from activity and passed AC, what do you do with the points left over?

We're glad you asked! Points are used as part of the game's wishing system. Check below, and you will see the baseline guide for spending those remaining points!

How does wishing actually work in-game?
Characters who make wishes in the game will cast a colorful stone into the wishing pond and make their wish. Thereafter (whenever the wish request is granted and it is narratively convenient), a crayon drawing of the wished-for thing will appear on your character's doorstep or in their mailbox. Before or after they look at the drawing, the item or request will be there for them.

How do I request an item?
Drop a comment below and the mods will tell you if it is eligible! Please use the handy dandy form offered in the text box to make things easier.

Item: Item/animal/whatever in question.
  • If its a canon item, please link us a picture or give a brief description. We want to know what you're requesting! This is especially important for power regains. Please also explain what your plans are for the item. We'd like to know what shenanigans you want your character to get into!
Points used:
Link to the threads where you made the points.
  • These threads cannot be used for AC if used here, so buy wisely!



What Can I Wish For?

OLD POSSESSIONS40Specific items from your character's world of origin. A instrument, a favorite blanket, a necklace, or any knickknack they didn't have on them when they arrived.

Items from a previous game
Items from canon



NEW POSSESSIONS50Any new item your character has never had before. Rings, dvd's your character has always wanted, clothes, toys, shoes, etc.
Clothes
Movies
Knick Knacks
(You get the idea)


MUNDANE MAGIC ITEM150Non-battle or skill-based magical items are covered in this section.

Food trees (and other plants) can have up to three flavors on them and those wishing should indicate the flavors and provide a brief description of the new plant for inclusion in the setting page.
Endless Supply-Type Objects
Self-Cleaning Objects
FOOD TREES200
Beer Tree
Macaron Bush


POWER REGAINS350If your character lost their abilities/powers due to the last game they were in, they can regain it here. Any powers that are godly in nature will not be approved. Items that give characters their powers back in any capacity will also be considered power regains. Magical or skilled pets that are designed for battle (e.g., Pokemon and Dream Eaters) will also be considered power regains. They will have the same size limits as pets: No bigger than a small horse.
Lost Abilities
Battle Pets
Power-imbued Items
No Godly Abilities


NEW POWERS600If your character would like to gain additional powers beyond those they had in their own canon/the game they were in, they can still wish for them or work to acquire them, but it will take more effort for Zephyr and cost more. Any powers that are godly in nature will not be approved, and the mods will exercise general discretion on what will be allowed. There should be a very good IC reason for the character to either work toward a power-up or request one. We may ask you to discuss this with us and provide proof of the IC growth of this idea/development of skills before we approve it.
New powers
New Power-related Items
Additional powers from a future canon/game-point
No Godly Abilities


BODY REGAINS100Physical alterations to the character's form. These do not involve power modifications that might come with the changes.
Missing Limbs/Original forms
MINOR CHANGES150
Eye color/hair color/tattoos/etc.
MAJOR CHANGES200
New appendages/Species changes


PETS60The pet sizes can range from a small horse to a parakeet. This includes pets from your character's previous game or canon world! We also reserve the right to say no to bringing in a pet if the pet is a character in its own right. Some examples of this are: JiJi from Kiki's Delivery Service, Luna from Sailor Moon, Spike from MLP:FIM. If a character is sapient enough to talk or think in a way humans can, it is not something you can wish for. All pets wished for are spayed/neutered.
Bees
Dogs
Tribbles
No sentient/playable pets


BUILDINGS700For a basic one room building. The more complicated the building the more points it will cost. If you want to buy a building, please discuss it with us along with having a drawn out plan of what you want.
The Library
The Observatory
The Windmill
(These required additional points.)


MINOR BUILDING RENOVATIONS100Minor renovations: Adding an extra door/window/exit, painting the walls, moving around heavy furniture.

Major renovations: Adding another story, completely changing the aesthetic or configuration of the interior.

If you aren't sure if a renovation is major or minor, please just ask!
New windows
New carpet
MAJOR BUILDING RENOVATIONS300
Second Floor
Basement


LAND EXPANSION1000Land Expansion: The Meadous map will increase by half a mile in one direction. The player will be able to decide what the land exists as from our present variety of land areas: Forest, river, beach, jungle, mountains, etc. It will also be populated with that biome's present assortment of plants and animals. (For visual reference, the Meadous village area is one mile across.)

New biome: The Meadous map will increase by half a mile in one direction, and the player may create a new biome to fill in that space. This includes land type and structure, as well as non-sapient flora and fauna that populate the area. Any additional space that is not used can be allocated to other currently existing biomes as the player wishes.

New species: Create a new sapient species to inhabit a currently existing portion of the Meadous. Player will design the structure of the new civilization and both the cultural habits and base interactions/attitude with the Meadous residents. (Think along the lines of the Wasps or the Beetle tribe in the Jungle.)

Zephyr Growth: Zephyr is a growing child and heavily influenced by their flock. Players can work with the mods to develop Zephyr through a physical alteration or a new ability. Be prepared to come to us with a good idea of what you want. **Must be a cooperative wish made by three or more people.**

Note: All additions and changes will need to meet mod approval and mesh with the tone of the game. One wish from this section per player per month.
One half-mile added
Existing biome
NEW BIOME3000
Choice of new biome
Includes non-sapient flora/fauna
NEW SPECIES5000
Choice of new species
Sapient + Cultural aspects
ZEPHYR GROWTH6000
Physical changes
New abilities


A note to remember: The current list is a general guideline! You can also wish/ask for something off of the provided categories, and we will give you a general price range and whether we would approve it or not. All wishes are on a case by case basis. While we encourage wishing, we also ask that there be a reason behind the wish in question.

As the world grows, players can wish for bigger items. Currently items cannot be any bigger than what can fit in a flatbed truck. Gundams, Big-O and zords are not allowed in the world. We do not permit mecha battles to take place, sadly.

As a general rule, unless your request is approved on this page by the mods, you cannot enact it ICLY. Requesting something does not mean you automatically get it.

Please keep all requests HERE! Any requests for items elsewhere will not be considered official requests that can be used in-game. This includes AIM conversations or on plurk.

Hello! I'd like to clarify wish prices for some power upgrades on Stephen. I know that it's 600 points to add new powers, but I want to make sure the powers I have in mind are allowed and that the way I've grouped them is reasonable. I don't have enough points for all of these right now (plus I may come up with more later), but I'd like to be ready as I accrue them. All of these are things I expect Stephen to ICly learn to do on his own, and I would have him progress through learning each new power rather than suddenly being able to perform them perfectly.

Improvements to astral projection:
I'd like Stephen to learn how to shrink his astral form. This is not normally very useful and is an offshoot of the powers of astral projection he already possesses.

Telekinesis:
He would become able to move objects with his mind. In the comics Stephen is capable of lifting and throwing multiple cars at once, though with this wish Stephen would start much smaller than that and work his way up. He would be able to use telekinesis while in his astral form as well. Also, in the comics, Stephen is often shown levitating in a seated position while apparently at rest -- presumably the Cloak of Levitation is what's allowing him to do that, but I would tie him learning that habit in with his efforts to learn to move things with his mind.

Telepathy:
Stephen will want to learn how to shield his mind against outside control (thanks, Slink); a natural offshoot of these studies would be learning how to send outgoing telepathic communications. I'm also interested in Stephen learning how to share or steal dreams, but am open to the possibility that that might need to be its own wish.

Second Sight:
Stephen would become capable of seeing the astral forms of others without leaving his material body. This would effectively make him capable of sensing the location of invisible people and ghosts/spirits as well, as he would not need to rely on his normal sense of sight. This might include a better ability in general to sense whether someone is a god or mortal, as presumably their astral forms would be significantly different.

Manipulation of energy:
This would be a matter of removing non-magical energy from one area and placing or dispersing it elsewhere. For example, he might freeze something by dispersing its heat into the air around it, or relocate a fire from one place to another. I'd like this to include other forms of energy, too, such as electricity.

Transformation:
Would it be a separate wish for each form I'd like Stephen to be able to take?




Finally, a general question about higher-level powers and Stephen's relationship with Zephyr. The Dr. Strange of comic book canon accesses a lot of powers using various relics and by calling on various deities. He won't be wishing for more relics after deciding that the trouble with the Eye of Agamotto probably stems from dimensional misalignment that would similarly affect other objects of power, and at present I'm assuming he wouldn't have access to the necessary dimensions to invoke the names of the various gods.

I think it's a ways off because Stephen still has a lot of non-divine magic he can learn, but eventually it will occur to him, as he's reading about divine magic, that he does in fact know several gods even if they aren't the ones in his books. It's possible that he might approach Zephyr (and maybe their classmates and/or family members as well) to find out whether he can invoke their names and tap into their power (it will take him a while to get to that point, as he'll be aware that he'd probably be incurring debt and/or obligations). So far I have only a very general idea of what it would enable him to do; my idea right now is that it might simply allow him to perform whatever types of magic he's already learned on his own on a grander scale, and that it might be something he can only do when he and the others leave the Meadous during events and their powers are un-nerfed. Is that something you'd be interested in pursuing from the gods' side of things?

Just checking, but do "godly powers" refer to like, god-level abilities that are on par with Zephyr's type of god or just "powers related to being a god".

Basically, Justin is going to want to wish Kid's "god body" back, which would restore Kid's physical powers/species related abilities but Kid is technically a god (he's a lovecraftian horror shaped like a small child). BASICALLY i dont want to deal with adding up points if the wish won't be granted.

I'm presuming that, as these items are basically the equivalent of mechanical parts and computer components but are of somewhat better quality than the samples she's been nursing along since leaving Alternia, these would count as new items for the purposes of wishing. These samples, once established, will allow Waspfire to build machines that are sturdier and more stable, but not notably more powerful than the ones she's been building over the past few years. Mostly, though, they're replacements for supplies that are ICly rapidly approaching obsolescence. If the mods decide to impose a steeper point cost than I'm assuming, I'm fine with doing that; just let me know.
