Proposal: Self Balancing Spell List

Passes 6-0. Enacted by Brendan.

Adminned at 20 Oct 2023 16:05:18 UTC

Add the following to the end of the first paragraph in “Engaging in a Duel”

If a Wizard changes which spell they are casting in a given duel, they are only considered to have selected their new spell for casting, and so are not considered to have selected the previous spell.


Add the following to “Spells”

Each Spell has a Charm, which is by default 0. The Charm of each Spell is publicly tracked on the gamestate tracking page.

Add the following in between the first and the second steps in the atomic action to resolve a duel

Give each Wizard who selected a spell to cast in the current Duel a number of Stars equal to the Charm of that Spell

Add the following in between the third and the fourth steps in the atomic action to resolve a duel

Set the Charm of any Spell which was selected for casting this duel to 0. Increase the Charm of any Spell which was listed in the Spell List for this duel but was not selected for casting by any Wizard this duel by 1.

Add a Gewgaw named “Pewter Elephant” with the following effect

Before the spells selected for a Duel are cast, each Wizard who selected a Spell with positive Charm gains 1 additional Star.

The idea is that if no one casts a spell, everyone who cast the spell next round gains a bonus star. Reward keeps going up and up until eventually it becomes worth it to cast the spell just for the stars.

“The Charm each Spell” missing a “for”

“dynasty tracking page”? is that a synonym for “gamestate tracking page”?

“Publicly tracked” has been the most recent term to mean this.
