BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Add a new rule, “Casting spells”:

As a weekly action, each Student may Request to Cast a Spell. A Student’s Grade in the spell’s Subject defines a cost. The costs are 2 for A+, 3 for A, 4 for B, 5 for C. Having a grade of D, E, F or “-” precludes spellcasting. The student will send a private message to the Headmaster with the subject “Spell: [STUDENT] casts [SPELL] on [TARGET]”.

As soon as possible the Headmaster will reply with a Result, determined by counting Success points: roll a DICE6 and subtract the cost. If the Result is greater than zero, the spell succeeds and the Headmaster performs the spell’s Outcome, then informs the student via private message. If the spell fails (Result is zero or less), or the student is not allowed to cast his spell, the Headmaster will reply with that information.

As a weekly action, the Headmaster will post a “Revelation” blog message, listing the Spell Requests since the previous Revelation, or all spell requests if no such posting has previously been made. Spell results are not posted.

Add a new rule, “Spell book”:

Each Spell has a corresponding Subject, Outcome, and any number of Conditions:

• Imaginatur (DIV) - For each Success point, show the Spellcaster one card of the target Dormitory’s hand. May only be cast by Alive students.
• Vocatus (BST) - For each Success point, a Nomich Beast is summoned, and decrements the target Dormitory’s Score. May only be cast by Zombies.
• Maledictus (LAT) - For each Success point, a Zombie from target Dormitory (if any) is hit by explosive curses and becomes a Ghost.

If the proposal titled “We want Crystal Balls, not war” failed, remove the spell “Imaginatum” from the “Spell book” rule above.
