MAGIC GLOSSARY

GETTING STARTED

What is Magic?

All designs within Skire are capable of learning magic. Each design starts out with 3 slots to be able to learn 3 different magics.

To begin training in magic, you must complete the Mentor Initiation Prompt for each new magic that you wish to learn. 



MAGIC MENTORS

Mentors are available to train at any time after completing the Mentor Initiation Prompt. It costs crowns to train alongisde a mentor each time. More magics will roll out with time!

Mentorship costs a set amount of  Crowns to train. Earn crowns via completing prompts.

When magic is trained, there is a chance of SUCCESS, FAILURE, or DEFECT. Please visit each mentor to view these odds. More difficult magics will be harder to level up in.

  • SUCCESS - Your character levels up in their trained magic.
  • FAILURE - Your character does not level up. After 3 failures, you persevere and succeed!
  • DEFECT - A Defect Item is rolled. If you roll a magic defect item, you may update your design via Design Approval. A defect can only be used for prompt bonuses if it has been updated to the design.

MAGIC EFFECTS AND ABILITIES

Basic Levels - Please click on the icons above to visit each magic's page.

  • I -- These levels represent with flavor the different abilities a character can use within their magic.
  • II -- Click each icon above for detailed versions of these abilities.
  • III -- As levels rise, so does proficiency over each magic.
  • IIII -- Only certain magics reach levels above three.

  • Defect -- Parts of the body are made purely of the magic that they train in. They can no longer use other magics.
  • Nullified -- Magic has been nullified by a defect. Applies most often to designs with merged defect magic.

Magic defects

Defects are when magic overtakes part of a character's body.  They have a chance of being rolled each time you roll with a mentor. If you recieve one of these items, they will be bound to the character you are rolling for. They may be turned in for 2 levels of their respective magic if you do not wish to have a defect on your character. 

Characters with a defect applied cannot learn or train in other magics. 
Magic defects cannot be turned off, as they are merged with the body!
