this is Salem, a land filled with magic and maladies. It is a place where witches and their elemental familiars gather, a home to legend and
lore that predates time itself. Yet of all the wicked and wonderful stories the past can tell us of, the most magical are the ones yet to happen.
This is Salem - this is the start of your very own journey. Welcome to starfall
Starfall is an animaga witch roleplay set in mostly modern times. Members play as witches in a world plagued by monsters, where the only safe spots are walled cities. Starfall strives to be a character-driven roleplay with expansive lore and a highly interactive plotline. We want to allow members to
create and look back on a magical journey, and mold the site and its plot as their characters grow.

[attr="class","stafftempstore"]
[attr="class","stafftemptitle"] scrolls
[attr="class","stafftempitem"] ALCHEMY - CONFESSIONS OF A BOG WITCH: #2*[break] ( 190g | 7 in stock ) A strange potion recipe that is used to create a cooking fire. Each drop creates a small one foot by one foot fire that will stay lit for one minute before going out. It looks to have been created mostly as a cooking timer as the fire for some reason always magically goes out after the allotted time.
[attr="class","stafftempitem"] ATHENEUM - OBSERVATORY VOL 1: SCROLL #3[break] ( 220g | 5 in stock ) The caster can gather data from another witch - this includes base information such as their height, weight, and age. However, casters need to be stronger in order to gather information about their magic.
[attr="class","stafftempitem"] AUGMENTATION - THANE’S GRIMOIRE, THEORY C: FLUIDITY OF BODY[break] ( 240g | 7 in stock ) This scroll is applied throughout the body of any living creature, and grants it hyper flexibility. A beginner might be unable to accomplish more than intense gymnastics but a master would be able to achieve inhuman results.
[attr="class","stafftempitem"] CRAFTING - STRIDERS*[break] ( 230g | 4 in stock ) A mechanical exoskeleton designed to completely encase human legs. In addition to making long jogs painless, they give the wearer incredible force behind their kicks and jumps, as well as significantly reduced damage from falls. These pages include an alternate design for individuals without legs.
[attr="class","stafftempitem"] DIVINATION - TRUESIGHT VOL 3.[break] ( 200g | 2 in stock ) This scroll enables the seer to see the original form of a transfigured object or person. It is not passive, however, and must be consciously performed (ie. the seer would need to activate this sight).
[attr="class","stafftempitem"] ENCHANTMENT - SPATIAL SCROLLBOOK #2[break] ( 270g | 4 in stock ) By constricting the mana around a given territory, the witch can make a target area impossible to escape. Only another witch who knows enchantment or a powerful magical blast/attack will enable trapped beings to escape.
[attr="class","stafftempitem"] ILLUSION - A SUBTLE TOUCH: SCROLL #8[break] ( 250g | 8 in stock ) This illusion causes the target to begin hearing fragmented voices that no one else hears. An illusionist can make the target hear reflections of their own thoughts or fears, or can come up with their own messages and lines. Beginners often find that their illusions are rather obvious and unconvincing. Some illusionists, however, have innovated with this spell and used it for communicating with allies when they don’t want to be overheard.
[attr="class","stafftempitem"] PLANTSHAPING - PHOTOSYNTHESIS[break] ( 230g | 3 in stock ) This scroll allows the caster to obtain energy from sunlight like how plants photosynthesise. It is most effective during strong, direct sunlight, though light-producing spells and techniques also may be used, albeit to less of an effect.
[attr="class","stafftempitem"] PURIFICATION - REVERT MANA #2[break] ( 320g | 3 in stock ) A spell that purifies the air from magic; those who enter a certain area will find that it is hard to use mana effectively unless they are a high ranked witch. This scroll, however, takes a while to set up. When used by higher ranked witches, it can shut down the use of mana and magics. Fledglings will find that they can only affect a small area and the effects won't be as strong.
[attr="class","stafftempitem"] RUNESCRIPTING - EXPLOSIVE ARRAYS*[break] ( 295g | 3 in stock ) (note for staff: non-runescripters can also buy this scroll, though it will be one-time use for them, and they are limited to the properties of the standardised array) An explosive array does exactly as its name suggests: it explodes. The standardised explosive array causes a small-to-medium explosion around five seconds after mana has been channelled into the array to active it. Runescripters, however, almost always prefer to modify the standard array or design their own type of explosive array due to the limitations of the standardised ones - they can play around with elements such as a shortened/lengthened countdown, keying the explosion to a specific person, keying the explosion to happen upon impact, modifying it for smaller/bigger explosions, etc - the possibilities are limited only by the creativity and the skill of the witch.
[attr="class","stafftempitem"] SPELLSINGING - SONG OF THE SIREN[break] ( 220g | 3 in stock ) This scroll was created by the madame of a prominent brothel back in the day as a means to keep the money flowing. The witch pours mana into their vocal chords and uses certain frequencies to stimulate the intended targets brain in order to release certain chemicals and neurotransmitters to stimulate deep infatuation. Also called the magic roofie this song has the unintended side effect of affecting short term memory creating a blackout effect in the victim from the point of ensnarement until the effects dissipate.
[attr="class","stafftempitem"] STARCALLING - CONSTELLER GRIMOIRE: CANUS MAJOR[break] ( 210g | 5 in stock ) Like the dog constellation while the witch is in the light of this constellation their strength and stamina are heightened. This blessing can be shared among multiple witches at the cost of diluting the overall power of the spell.
[attr="class","stafftempitem"] SUMMONING - SUMMONING SPIRITS: LIGHT SPRITE[break] ( 240g | 10 in stock ) This scroll allows the caster to summon an elemental sprite into the physical plane. Sprites are the weakest spirits of their element, mere infants compared to their powerful counterparts, however that means they are much more happy to be summoned for ‘trivial’ tasks - they generally take the form of small humanoid figures formed of their element, and are capable of flight. They are intelligent and sentient, but though they understand human speech, they cannot speak themselves. Once summoned, they are able to maintain themselves with no additional drain on the mana of the summoner unless they exhaust the mana they themselves possess by using techniques. Sprites generally have very little mana and can only manage a few weak techniques before needing to leave the physical plane. Light sprites are perhaps the most attention-grabbing - and the most social - of sprites; they are playful and humorous and enjoy playing with other sentients, their summoner in particular. Being flashy and swift and bright, light sprites love playing distraction or helping to explore by lighting the way. Surprisingly enough, light sprites are quite content being summoned in darkness, but they do prefer sunlight, and rather dislike enclosed areas.
[attr="class","stafftempitem"] TRANSFIGURATION - TRANSFIGURATION 101, SCROLL #5: GLASS TO SAND[break] ( 225g | 6 in stock ) This scroll allows the witch to change glass into sand. Unlike “Metal to Wood”, this scroll’s effects are permanent unless untransfigured, or the witch is seriously lacking skill.
[attr="class","stafftempitem"] WEAVING - SPY THREAD[break] ( 230g | 4 in stock ) Allows the witch to attach a thread to the target and expelling mana into the spool in order to conceal the string's presence to the naked eye. Used to track people back to their homes or lairs. Requires a constant mana supply so if dropped or contact is severed the thread will become instantly visible.
[attr="class","stafftempitem"] GENERAL - TELEKINESIS[break] ( 250g | 13 in stock ) The witch can move around objects at their leisure- it’s not intended for offensive use as it’s difficult to make the objects go at high speeds. It’s also mentally exhausting for beginner witches as it requires quite a bit of focus to maintain. It’s generally used to lift objects off the ground or subtly in sleight of hand.
