PreSLNES I: Masters of Ethereal

Since people are doing this anyway, I thought I'd add it to the rules, but I suppose you already know it any way:

Spoiler :
Other Uses for Mana

Mana can be used for other purposes, but nothing that will effect the combat ability of your units. For example, you can use mana to enchant a temple. Or perhaps you want to magically infuse city walls. All of this is fine. But like spending gold, the more you put into it, the better. If you put 10 mana into infusing magic into walls, those walls will not be very enchanted. In fact, since mana is a flowing, pulsing force within Ethereal, it might be better for you to pick a project to put mana into and stick with it. What this means is that you might want to put a certain amount of mana (and gold) into your city walls every turn - maintaining their magical powers. Supplementing your mana projects with gold gives them funding as well as the magical resources necessary, so putting gold in addition to mana into these projects is recommended. As you can see, enchanting structures or using mana in a more unconventional fashion is a costly affair. Nonetheless, if you are inventive with it and you are not just writing in your orders that everything be enchanted (if you are focusing on something important to your realm), it is definitely acceptable. If you are cheap with it and obviously trying to gain an upper hand through nefarious means, I will punish you and you will find your "magical temple" or "magical walls" are nothing more than cardboard fronts. Describing what you are doing clearly in your orders or writing stories about it will be a huge advantage as well. I want to know how these objects function with magic, not simply that they are "enchanted". Do not be simple with me.
 
OK in regards to the players who are no longer with us:

Spiral/Sonereal's old kingdom still stands, though it is extremely reclusive.

As for Tambien, it turned out Tambien was a huge fraud and never existed - Wizard Arya was using that as an excuse to conquer lands around him. The Bloodknights are actually from Arya himself, manifestations of his sub-conscious Wizarding self. He still sits in Ceros, plotting away - but the world knows that Tambien (such a weird name for a villain... means "too" as in "me too" in Spanish...) is nothing more than... nothing.

Last but not least, Wizard Aiolos is kind of trapped in his realm. He attempted to charge tolls on roads from cities that have larger militaries than his own, and since then, those cities have kept him in check. He is thus isolating himself, much like John Faraday.

All the stuff. Format the way you want. Story Names I made up.
 
@vruchten: Why would you want to? If you get enough mana, you can design a new spell. Hard to see why anyone would want to sell them. Any way, I think I would allow it... since I do allow gifts.

@Terrance: That is awesome! Thank you very much.
