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.

name of scroll: Disturbance of the Angry Chollas history: Discovered and crafted lovingly by a lover of nature, and all around academic devoted to plant kind, Lobo Henderson, this spell was crafted in one of his trips to study the local fauna of the desert landscape. Harassed for days by the wildlife, and fearing he would lose precious samples, Lobo created the Disturbance of the Angry Chollas. affinity: plantshaping description: The spell creates a group of spherical cacti that lay about as instructed by their creator. They are passive plant life infused with a part of their master's mana. Once you enter the radius around the chollas, the little cacti will be attracted to all mana that does not match their master's, rolling ominously after other witches or magical beings. Once they latch on to the witch or creature with their body of barbs, they will begin to leech mana from them. Chollas can be removed, although there is not a way to remove without inflicting severe, temporary pain on the victim. On their own, they can easily latch onto animals who aren't careful, serving as a deterrent to wild animals. The only difference between these and regular chollas born in the wild, is that the witch that created them may move them at will. modification permission: yes

While the bush is not fully carnivorous and cannot digest the creature, it does however begin sucking out mana for nutrients. You can tell how much an Impassive Bush has eaten by nothing the status of its blooms and the color of its leaves. unfortunately, these bushes need mana to survive either given from the witch themselves, or from catching something with mana to consume. modification permission: yes
name of scroll: Stich of Power Vol. 1: Friendship Bracelet history: Based on the Tell All memoirs of weaver Isabella Chauntrice, in which she details how to coalesce both realms of fashion, and refinement with utility. In the olden days, she was relegated as weaver by her family of stifling tradition, however Isabella proved herself to be a worthy witch, strategist, and adversary over time outshining her family's reputation as their Gilded Flower. In this book of weaving spells she explains the instances in her life that led to the creation of spells that combine use and aesthetic, making not only an incredible memoir collection, but also an excellent learning tool for young weavers. affinity: weaving description: One of Isabella's first creations, and a good beginner spell for fledgelings, the friendship bracelet is a simple woven bracelet imbued with mana that allows you to find its twin. Often used by children as a way to solidify friendship, and to 'always find each other'. The same technique can be used to weave combinations of braids depending on the weaver. For example, the bracelet can be worn by the witch and they can attach a braided keychain that pairs to something valuable such as a purse or wallet. As long as the braid stays attached a witch would be able to locate the object or person in question. Radius of detection by the with increases with rank with a fledge able to find things within their own home while a master maybe be able to tracks objects throughout a city and some of the outskirts. modification permission: yes
name of scroll: Stich of Power Vol. 2: Mesmerizing Lace history: Based on the Tell All memoirs of weaver Isabella Chauntrice, in which she details how to coalesce both realms of fashion, and refinement with utility. In the olden days, she was relegated as weaver by her family of stifling tradition, however Isabella proved herself to be a worthy witch, strategist, and adversary over time outshining her family's reputation as their Gilded Flower. In this book of weaving spells she explains the instances in her life that led to the creation of spells that combine use and aesthetic, making not only an incredible memoir collection, but also an excellent learning tool for young weavers. affinity: weaving description: One of Isabella's more popular creations, as well as one of her favorites. The spell works as such, the lace whether by itself to attached and combined with another garment, has a pull that draws the eye of any and all creatures. How strong the pule is dependent on the amount of lace used and the strength of the weaver. However it can be used as a magical distraction whether its trying to swipe some coins from a rich gent, or literally drawing the attention and ire of a large beast while donning beautiful regalia. This incidentally, is how Isabella debuted her beautiful creation by barging into battle against a pair of minotaurs armed with nothing but a rapier and a gala dress. The effect depends on the strength of the weave with fledges able to draw the eye for a few moments before the viewer gets tired of the lace, and a master able to hold the attention of an enraged dragon. modification permission: yeh
name of scroll: Stich of power Vol. 3: Tapestry of Short-Term Memory history: Based on the Tell All memoirs of weaver Isabella Chauntrice, in which she details how to coalesce both realms of fashion, and refinement with utility. In the olden days, she was relegated as weaver by her family of stifling tradition, however Isabella proved herself to be a worthy witch, strategist, and adversary over time outshining her family's reputation as their Gilded Flower. In this book of weaving spells she explains the instances in her life that led to the creation of spells that combine use and aesthetic, making not only an incredible memoir collection, but also an excellent learning tool for young weavers. affinity: weaving description: Sometimes utility lays outside of battle. Isabella crafted the Tapestry of Short-Term memory as a sort of short term, surveillance in intimate sections of her home. The tapestry, typically that of a beautiful scenery, or pattern is infused with mana so when activated can show a small 'rewind' of what transpired before it few minutes to a few hours ago. The preview manifests itself as embroidery transforming and moving within the tapestry itself. It's limited in the sense that if the tapestry is not long enough to capture the entire room it is it, it may have multiple blindspots. The length of memory the tapestry can hold also varies depending on the strength of the crafter and is rather permanent. For example, one a fledgeling creates a tapestry it is very difficult for a novice to 'edit' the tapestry to help it record longer times. A totally new tapestry must be made by the novice. Times recorded also varies, with fledges only managing to capture 30 seconds at most to masters retaining up to 12 hours of surveillance. modification permission: yes
