The Best Teacher
As you roleplay the misadventures of your character, they will gain Experience Points (XP) that can be used to gain strength and learn spells. The XP gain from each post will be done automatically and displayed. In addition to gaining spells, XP can also be used to increase the number of Crystals your character can carry at once as well as purchase the crystals themselves. There will only be one form of currency and it's used to purchase everything. Nice and easy, right?
Power Up
When you want to purchase a spell, simply post the spell description in this thread along with how many crystals you want the spell to take and what Faction the spell is associated with. A staff member will them tell you how much XP that spell will require for your character to learn. Not all characters will learn all spells at the same rate, though. The more proficient your character is in a specific Faction, the easier it will be for them to learn that type of magic.
The more crystals a spell requires, the more powerful the spell will be. For example, your character may have a Fireball spell that requires only one Fire Crystal, but it will not be particularly powerful. Another character may have a Fireball spell that requires three Fire Crystals and, as you can imagine, that second Fireball will pack a significantly more potent punch.
In some cases, a staff member may step in and say that a specific spell will require more crystals than a player wants to use. Hopefully that won't have to happen too often. Just try not to get greedy with doing too much with very few crystals. We want people to be able to do what they with their characters, but the "Game" part of Role-Play Game does require some oversight.
