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.

history: this series of scrolls covers a highly precise and controversial area of transfiguration: the art of re-arranging one’s mind. reality has little hold over practitioners who decide to specialise in such mind-bending applications, though it is a notably difficult area to master due to its scientific roots. affinity: transfiguration modification permission: go wild my dudeo
name of scroll: a mesmer's grimoire: distort description: the continual application of this spell allows the transfigurer to warp a target’s memories, the extent of which depends on the witch’s experience, as well as the target’s mental fortitude. while beginners may only be able to affect slivers of recent memories, masters have been said to suppress experiences from years past, locking them deep into the target’s unconscious. it is worth noting that it is near impossible to implant wholly new memories with this spell, and it is limited to manipulating what already exists.
name of scroll: a mesmer's grimoire: shock description: after a brief analysis, the transfigurer is able to temporarily scramble the flow of mana within a target’s mind, potentially interrupting spells in-progress or even stunning them in place. hope that a interrupted spell doesn't hit something else! its effectiveness depends on the witch’s experience and the target’s mental fortitude, with beginners managing to trigger little more than a minor headache that lasts but a few seconds.
name of scroll: a mesmer's grimoire: confusion description: the witch temporarily alters a target’s perception of external stimuli, knocking them off-kilter for a short period of time. for instance, up becomes down, and left becomes right. purple is suddenly green, and you swear that bird had three eyes. its duration depends on the witch’s experience and the target’s mental fortitude, with masters being able to disorient opponents enough to decisively end a fight in a single blow.
name of scroll: a mesmer's grimoire: toggle description: the transfigurer taps into a target’s mind, and carefully hones in on a certain sense, such as one’s sense of hearing, heightening it to dangerous levels or rendering it completely useless. there really only are two extremes with this spell, though masters have demonstrated considerable control. when cast on oneself, be wary of triggering a sensory overload. when used on other targets, it proves particularly useful when aiming to debilitate.
history: they're very cute. affinity: plantshaping modification permission: go wild my dudeo
name of scroll: the marimo series: alexa description: the plantshaper creates a magical marimo ball that can be used to remind a witch of their daily tasks, store short snippets of verbal knowledge, or even communicate small messages to other marimo balls known to the plantshaper. though they can only be created by plantshapers, a non-shaper can activate the marimo by tapping on the jar, or through a preset phrase.
name of scroll: the marimo series: healing aura description: this creates a marimo ball that emanates a healing aura of a small radius, allowing the plantshaper to heal physical injuries. it works best the target is also submerged in water. the effectiveness of the spell depends on the strength of the witch, the intended radius and number of targets in the spell, and the severity of wounds.
name of scroll: the marimo series: amplifying aura description: this creates a marimo ball that emanates an amplifying aura of a small radius, increasing the potency of affinity-based magic within a small radius. it affects anyone within the aura's area of effect, whether they be friend or foe. the effectiveness of the spell depends on the strength of the witch, and has little effect on elemental-based magic.
name of scroll: the marimo series: golem description: this technique imbues a marimo ball with the summoned spirit of a minor water sprite. if willed by the plantshaper, the marimo ball grows dramatically in size, up to a metre in radius. it is intelligent and sentient, though incapable of human speech, and capable of maintaining itself if it does not use any techniques. casting minor water techniques will reduce its summoned time and eventually cause it to leave the physical plane. while the water sprite is not particularly fond of being used for aggressive purposes, it can be persuaded to use its physical marimo-boulder body to bludgeon anyone in its path.
