In the sign up Thread I did confim that all roles in this game exist on mafiascum wiki

We love our book Story: As you remain seated in the warmth of the fading elemental trial, you open the Arcane Conduit Codex one last time before departing. It reacts instantly to your lingering energy from the short rest. A new page unfurls—not written in ink, but in flowing threads of starlight. The Codex pulses once, then begins to hum with a gentle harmonic frequency. Your vision dims around the edges, and for a moment, the world falls away. A vision forms. You stand at the edge of a great cliff beneath a sky roiling with elemental clouds. Fire dances across the horizon. Water surges below. Winds howl behind you. Earth rises and falls. Spirit swirls in every breath. A single voice whispers: “The Heart of the Elements stirs. It watches you. But it will not reveal itself unless called by harmony.” “Five altars across the world hold the keys. You have found the first. The path forward must now split.” “When next you rest beneath sacred stars, Weave Fusion shall awaken its final form.” The vision fades. You are back in the Ashen Spire. But your Codex now holds the memory. New Quest Fragment Added: The Five Altars of Balance You must locate five elemental altars hidden across the world to unlock the path to the Heart of the Elements. So far, you’ve awakened one: The Ashen Spire (Fire). The next altar may lie within another Elemental Temple… or far beyond known maps. Each altar deepens the Codex’s power and unlocks more advanced Weave Fusion options.

You’ve completed the first step by mastering the Ashen Spire. Next Choices: Create your first Weave Fusion spell (choose 3 elements). Exit the Ashen Spire and begin the return to the Sacred Grove. Use a Firegem to evolve a hybrid spell. Check the map for known locations that may hide altars. Cast a hybrid spell and observe how it reacts to the Codex's new harmony.

Time for a rest then Story: You settle cross-legged near the now-quiet trial platform, surrounded by flickering glyphs, soft elemental auras, and the warmth of the Codex at your side. You close your eyes and take a long breath—your body finally still, your mind swimming with the countless threads you've woven. The ground beneath you is warm and steady, pulsing faintly with latent fire. Around you, elemental forces begin to drift closer—not threatening, but observing. You are one of them now. An attuned part of the Weave. Time passes. The Codex glows gently during your rest, absorbing ambient magic and resonating with your internal alignment. As your breathing slows, the energies inside you rebalance. When you open your eyes, you feel lighter. Sharper. Ready. You have completed a Short Rest.

Wow. Yeah shouldn't have to clarify, as I had to ask Verbal what one of these actually is but this is NOT a B'stard game.

Always read the rules. I don't think you need to edit that because everyone else HAS read the rules and probably would have called you out anyways. No Mass claiming guys. Omg fine. You can add the 'clarification to the end of your post but you can't change what you originally said. I have PMd you

^^^

Please don't encourage players to break the rules.

Start of Day 2 The first vote had come and gone—an uneasy choice that sent George Washington walking into the shadows, not slain, but dismissed. Erased. The town told itself it had acted. That it had done something. That it still had control. But control is an illusion. Tonight would prove it. James Madison worked late. That, too, was an illusion—routine as safety. He had always kept to himself, scribbling thoughts while others shouted. Always observing, always calculating. Quietly building something beneath the surface. A truth, perhaps. A theory. Or a threat to someone watching. The footsteps behind him were soft. Intentional. He turned, but not fast enough. There was no time for a word, no breath to shout. Just a sudden stillness in the air. The sound of falling papers. A single, small impact against the cold earth. The village awoke to find it—not a missing vote or a departing figure, but a body. James Madison was dead. Not erased. Not dismissed. Gone. The air felt colder now. The lines more blurred. The rules, rewritten in blood. This was no longer a game of speeches. Someone had made their first real move in the dark. Darthe - James Madison - Southern Mother Fluffing Democratic Republican - Mafia Messenger Has been Killed. Day 2 will end at 10pm BST Wednesday 9th April. VC will be added shortly. You may now post.

Ok doing this now cos I'm about to get super busy for a little while Story: The fire has cooled, but the Codex is humming louder than ever. You open it once more, the ancient pages now alive with flowing script and pulsing glyphs. As your fingertips brush the surface, a sixth symbol appears above the five elemental circles—an arc of shimmering light representing Unity. The pages turn by themselves again, flipping to a new chapter. Words appear in your own handwriting, though you've never written them: “When the Champion binds all five paths, the elements speak as one. The Weave does not bend—it breathes. And through breath, power becomes purpose.” A powerful wave of energy radiates outward. The Codex recognizes you not just as a student of the elements, but as their chosen wielder. Codex Final Upgrade: Unified Elemental Bond (Passive Ultimate Perk) You have linked all five artifacts, representing the full elemental spectrum. As a result, the Codex has transformed into a legendary-grade relic. Benefits unlocked: +1 Max EP and HP All hybrid spells gain an additional minor effect based on your strongest element Casting any hybrid spell grants 1 EP regeneration You may now access Weave Fusion, a rare technique for crafting three-element spells once per long rest Grants resistance to magical disintegration and elemental corruption The Codex closes with a shimmer of gold around its edges. It is no longer just a record—it's a core part of your being, ready to grow with you.

You now benefit from new spell effects, enhanced resistance, regeneration, and have unlocked the ability to forge three-element Weave Fusion spells. Next Choices: Exit the Ashen Spire and return to the Sacred Grove. Rest and attune your mind to the Weave Fusion technique. Create your first three-element Weave Fusion spell (choose 3 elements). Test the upgraded version of Boiling Lance. Use a Firegem to evolve a hybrid spell.

And I will be able to play!

11 is the magic number at the moment 😉

This Thread is now locked until Day 2 starts. Please do NOT post. Thank you

More linking Story: With the Codex now pulsing with unified elemental balance, you feel the moment is right. You remove the Gauntlet of the Infernal Path and set it before you on the warm stone floor, then sit cross-legged, placing your hands—bare—for the first time on the ground. You close your eyes and focus solely on Fire. You let go of thoughts, and instead let yourself feel: the burn of resolve, the flicker of memory, the roar of emotion. The heat in your chest builds—not as a rage, but as a steady forge, burning away fear, shaping your will. The gauntlet begins to glow. The Codex stirs beside it. Runes leap from the pages and encircle the gauntlet, binding with it in arcs of controlled flame. You do not flinch. You offer your hand. And when the gauntlet clasps itself onto your arm once more, it fits perfectly—not just physically, but spiritually. Artifact Linked: Gauntlet of the Infernal Path Synergy Unlocked – Flamebound Echo (Passive + Active) +1 additional Fire Strength (stacks with previous bonus) Fire spells gain a chance to echo (trigger a second, free cast at reduced strength) Once per long rest, you may channel a Flame Echo manually to double a fire spell’s area or intensity The metal cools. The link is complete.

The Gauntlet of the Infernal Path grants the Flamebound Echo synergy, giving your fire spells a chance to echo and increasing your Fire Strength even further. Next Choices: Cast Emberlash to test for the Flame Echo. Exit the Ashen Spire and return to the Sacred Grove. Use a Firegem to evolve one hybrid spell to Level 2. Rest here, completing the full elemental binding cycle. Check the Codex again—something new may have unlocked after all five links.

Yeah I'm enjoying my last moments of peace before the game fires up again

And the reason for this is we all respect our fellow players and do not expect them to come back, after Night, to have to read through bazillions of pages of game related content. I think we all get the picture now. So I'll let it drop, cos the Thread has settled back down. And if you vote for a shorter Night, on the previous page, then you won't have to wait so long to get back into the game. Why you make me have to be so bossy. I don't like it. 2 hours till Thread lockdown 3 hours till end of Night 1

You're absolutely right Shad. I've made it very very clear. However, I said simple lists and chat only. not big pages of casing and explaining stances on different players. I can't lock the Thread but if people can't abide by the simple list and general chat rule I'm just gonna have to say no posting at all. Not even memes!

Ooooh we're just camping out in the middle of a volcano doing nerd things lol Story: With four artifacts now linked and your Codex thrumming with power, you open it once more—curious to see if the connection of so many elemental threads has triggered something deeper. As you touch the cover, the Codex shudders gently in your hands. Pages begin to turn on their own, flipping past your handwritten notes and etched glyphs until they stop on a new page that was not there before. A glowing symbol forms—five interlocking circles, one for each element. They pulse in unison. Then a sixth glyph appears at the center: Balance. The Codex acknowledges your mastery. Unique Bonus Unlocked: Elemental Weave Core (Passive) Because you have successfully attuned four distinct artifacts—each aligned with a different element or magical concept—you unlock the Weave Core: Grants +1 to all elemental strengths (Air, Water, Fire, Earth, Spirit) Reduces EP cost of hybrid spells by 1 Unlocks rare dialogue and magical interaction options with elemental entities or guardians Acts as a stabilizing force, making it easier to resist magical corruption or backlash A faint hum now radiates from your Codex even when closed. It has become more than a book—it is now a living archive of your elemental journey.

You are now more resilient, balanced, and open to advanced elemental interactions. Next Choices: Exit the Ashen Spire and return to the Sacred Grove. Rest and recover, letting the Codex settle into its upgraded state. Use a Firegem to evolve one of your hybrid spells. Attempt to link the Gauntlet of the Infernal Path through Fire meditation. Cast a hybrid spell to feel the Weave Core's effect in action.

well I meant using the Reactions lol Maybe I should make that clearer
